In connection with such sale, the Depositor has delivered to, and deposited with, or caused to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee or the related Custodian, as its agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned: (i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed without recourse (A) in blank or to order of “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee for Certificateholders of SACO I Trust 2007-1, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-1,” or (B) in the case of a loan registered on the MERS system, in blank and showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the original payee thereof to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee, (ii) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, which shall have been recorded (or, for Mortgage Loans other than the EMC Flow Loans, if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is either a MOM Loan or has been assigned in the name of MERS®, the assignment (either an original or a copy, which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) to the Trustee of the Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of “Citibank, N.A., as Trustee for Certificateholders of SACO I Trust 2007-1, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-1,” which shall have been recorded (or if clause (x) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form), (iv) an original or a copy of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, (v) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Piggyback Loan), the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance or, in the event such original title policy has not been received from the title insurer, such title policy will be delivered within one year of the Closing Date or, in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a photocopy of such title policy or, in lieu thereof, a current lien search on the related Mortgaged Property; and with respect to any Piggyback Loan, the original policy of title insurance or mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title insurance issued as to the related first lien Mortgage Loan or, in lieu thereof, a lien search on the related Mortgaged Property that was conducted in connection with the related first lien Mortgage Loan and (vi) originals or copies of all available assumption, modification or substitution agreements, if any; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (x) in lieu of the original Mortgage (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, a true copy thereof with a certification by such Seller or the title company issuing the commitment for title insurance, on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording”; (y) in lieu of the original Mortgage (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignment to the Trustee or in blank or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor to such effect) the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; and (z) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified in the list set forth in Exhibit I, the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, a lost note affidavit and indemnity and a copy of the original note, if available; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee and the related Custodian a certification of a Servicing Officer to such effect and in such case shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans, in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date. In the case of the documents referred to in clause (x) above, the Depositor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such documents to the Trustee or the related Custodian promptly after they are received. EMC shall cause, at its expense, the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and to the extent required in accordance with the foregoing, the assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee to be submitted for recording promptly after the Closing Date; provided that EMC need not cause to be recorded (a) any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee delivered by EMC to the Trustee, the Custodians and each Rating Agency, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the related Seller and its successors and assigns. In the event that either Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator gives written notice to the Trustee that a court has recharacterized the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, EMC shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording as specified above each such previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for recording as specified above at the expense of the Trust. In the event a Mortgage File is released to the Company or the related Servicer as a result of such Person having completed a Request for Release, the related Custodian shall, if not so completed, complete the assignment of the related Mortgage in the manner specified in clause (iii) above.

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, EMC further agrees that it will cause, at EMC’s own expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by EMC to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. EMC further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Company or the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

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

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

Section 2.02 Acceptance of the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

(c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is repurchased by EMC in accordance with subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above or Section 2.03, EMC shall remit the applicable Purchase Price to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account and shall provide written notice to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee detailing the components of the Purchase Price, signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Distribution Account and upon receipt of a Request for Release with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the related Custodian will release to EMC the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty furnished to it by the related Seller, as are necessary to vest in EMC title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the deposit into the Distribution Account was made. The Securities Administrator shall promptly use its best efforts to notify each Rating Agency of such repurchase in accordance with Section 12.05. The obligation of EMC to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedies respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.

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

(iv) EMC is an approved Seller of conventional mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac and is a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act.

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

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

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

(d) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans that materially and adversely affects the interests of the related Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties. Any breach of a representation or warranty contained in clauses (c), (q) and (s) of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of a Group II Mortgage Loan and clauses (z) through (ll) of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to materially adversely affect the interests of the related Certificateholders. EMC, in its capacity as Seller, hereby covenants with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, that within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth therein that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach is not so cured, (i) if such 90 day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above or repurchase pursuant to (ii) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 hereof and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the applicable Custodian of a Request for Release. The Seller shall, or cause the related Servicer to, furnish to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee the Officer’s Certificate required under Section 2.03(e) relating to such cure. If the Trustee has received (or has given, as the case may be) written notice of such a breach of a representation or warranty, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Seller, if within 90 days of its receipt (or giving, as the case may be) of such notice of breach, the Trustee does not receive an Officer’s Certificate as described in the preceding sentence certifying as to the cure of such breached representation or warranty. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the parties hereto of EMC’s failure to cure such breach as set forth in the preceding sentence. EMC shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. To enable the Master Servicer to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, EMC shall, unless it cures such breach in a timely fashion pursuant to this Section 2.03, promptly notify the Master Servicer and Trustee whether it intends either to repurchase, or to substitute for, the Mortgage Loan affected by such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are made to the best of EMC’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, EMC, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding EMC’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall nevertheless be required to cure, substitute for or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with the foregoing.

With respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf for the benefit of the Certificateholders such documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such substitution must be done within two years of the Closing Date. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the Due Period related to the Distribution Date on which such proceeds are to be distributed shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by EMC (in its capacity as Seller). For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the related Due Period and thereafter EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of each such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Seller shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the related Custodian. Upon such substitution, the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and EMC shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 or Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit into the Distribution Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph and receipt by the related Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan, the related Custodian shall release to EMC the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan and held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at EMC’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment as have been prepared by EMC, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to vest in EMC, or its respective designee, title to the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

For any month in which EMC substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all the Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate of such deficiencies, described in the preceding sentence for any Distribution Date (such amount, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be deposited into the Distribution Account, by EMC upon its delivering such Replacement Mortgage Loan on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited into the Distribution Account maintained by the Securities Administrator, on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which EMC became obligated to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 and the receipt of a Request for Release, the related Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to EMC, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction the related instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by EMC, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and transfer the Trustee’s interest to EMC to any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.03. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of EMC to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against EMC (in its capacity as Seller) respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.

(e) In connection with any repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan or the cure of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Seller shall, or cause the related Servicer to, promptly furnish to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Seller or the related servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that such repurchase, substitution or cure has been made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to such repurchase, substitution or cure have been satisfied, including the delivery to the Securities Administrator of the Purchase Price or Substitution Adjustment Amount, as applicable, for deposit into the Distribution Account, together with copies of any Opinion of Counsel required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the related Request for Release, on which the Securities Administrator and the Trustee may rely. Solely for purposes of the Securities Administrator providing an Assessment of Compliance, upon receipt of such documentation, the Securities Administrator shall approve such repurchase, substitution or cure, as applicable, and which approval shall consist solely of the Securities Administrator’s receipt of such documentation and deposits. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or to repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Seller respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.

(f) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 hereof shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the related Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.

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

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

(ii) The Depositor has the full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and has duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action on its part, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made unless EMC delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V or contributions after the Closing Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Any Mortgage Loan as to which repurchase or substitution was delayed pursuant to this paragraph shall be repurchased or the substitution therefor shall occur (subject to compliance with Sections 2.02 or 2.03) upon the earlier of (a) the occurrence of a default or a default becoming reasonably foreseeable with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (b) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that such repurchase or substitution, as applicable, will not result in the events described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

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

Section 2.06 Countersignature and Delivery of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, and the Securities Administrator has executed, countersigned and delivered, to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.

The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC II Regular Interests (which are uncertificated) and the other assets of REMIC III and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the Regular Certificates (other than the Class C Certificates), the Class C Interest, the Class IO Interest and the Class R-3 Certificates.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF EMC MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE COMPANY

Section 3.01 The Company.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Trustee shall furnish the Company and each Servicer and the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Company and each Servicer and Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property, to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

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

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

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

Section 3.03 Subservicers.

The Company shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of a subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee payable to the Company hereunder.

At the cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from its Protected Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the Company’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Company’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer from the Company’s own funds without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the EMC Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and the Company alone, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such subservicer including any obligation, duty or liability of either the Master Servicer or the Trustee to pay such subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of remittances to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on an EMC Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.

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

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

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

Section 3.05 Optional Purchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

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

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

Section 3.06 Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company or the related Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Company or the related Servicer (pursuant to the Servicing Agreement), as applicable, will (or if the Company or the related Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer (as applicable) or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer or Master Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company pursuant to Article V or by the related Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the Company or the related Servicer or the Master Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Company or the related Servicer or the Master Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Company, the Master Servicer or the related Servicer (as applicable) is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse, representation or warranty) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.

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

Section 3.07 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

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

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

Section 3.08 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Company shall prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Required Insurance Policies relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such Required Insurance Policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Company in respect of such Required Insurance Policies shall be promptly deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company upon receipt, except that any amounts that are to be applied upon receipt to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property, which repair or restoration the owner of such Mortgaged Property or EMC, as applicable, has agreed to make as a condition precedent to the presentation of its claims on the related EMC Mortgage Loan under the applicable Insurance Policy, need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 3.09 Books and Records.

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

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

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

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

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

Section 3.11 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the EMC Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans. The fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of an EMC Mortgage Loan which is not in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Accepted Servicing Practices. The Company shall deliver to the Master Servicer annually (together with the Company’s Annual Statement of Compliance required under Section 3.16 hereof) a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy (along with a copy of such policy then in effect) and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the Trustee. The Company shall notify the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee in writing within five business days of receipt of notice that such fidelity bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders must be named as loss payees on the fidelity bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.

The Company shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor evidence of the authorization of the person signing any certification or statement, copies or other evidence of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, financial information and reports, and such other information related to the Company or any subservicer engaged by it or the Company’s or such subservicer’s performance hereunder or under the related Subservicing Agreement as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Depositor.

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

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

With respect to any REO Property relating to an EMC Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or the Trustee’s nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders). The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Company shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Company protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Company and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Company shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator a statement with respect to each such REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Securities Administrator to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Company shall perform the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as may be required.

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or reasonably foreseeable default on an EMC Mortgage Loan, the Company shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (such opinion not to be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

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

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

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

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

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

Section 3.13 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Protected Account out of each payment of interest on an EMC Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to the Servicing Fee.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of any Excess Liquidation Proceeds, assumption fees, other ancillary income, late payment charges, all Prepayment Interest Excess on any EMC Mortgage Loan, all income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments with respect to funds in or credited to the Protected Account maintained by the Company shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.07) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Section 5.02.

Section 3.14 REO Property.

(a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related EMC Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Company shall sell any such REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Company shall protect and conserve such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required herein, 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 Company shall deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in respect of any EMC Mortgage Loan into the Protected Account maintained by the Company.

(c) The Company and the Master Servicer (as applicable), upon the final disposition of any REO Property in respect of any EMC Mortgage Loan, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances, unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Advances, unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees or Master Servicing Fees as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

Section 3.15 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property relating to an EMC Mortgage Loan or the acquisition thereof by the Trust Fund pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit a liquidation report to the Master Servicer containing such information as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Section 3.16 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Company as a Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator not later than March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of each such party during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of the cure provisions thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use. The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer, to the extent set forth in the related Servicing Agreement, to deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by that Servicer to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator as described above as and when required with respect to the Master Servicer. In the event that certain servicing responsibilities with respect to any Mortgage Loan have been delegated by the Company, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or a Servicer to a subservicer or subcontractor, each such entity shall cause such subservicer or subcontractor (and with respect to each Servicer, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of such Servicer to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by such subservicer or subcontractor to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator as described above as and when required with respect to the Master Servicer or the related Servicer (as the case may be).

Failure of the Company to comply with this Section 3.16 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall be deemed a Company Default, and the Master Servicer shall, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. Failure of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.16 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall be deemed an Event of Default, and at the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same. Failure of the Securities Administrator to comply with this Section 3.16 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall be deemed a default and the Trustee at the written direction of the Depositor shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Securities Administrator under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Securities Administrator for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

In the event the Company, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any subservicer or subcontractor engaged by either such party is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, or any other applicable agreement in the case of a subservicer or subcontractor, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Annual Statement of Compliance pursuant to this Section 3.16 or to the related section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be, as to the performance of its obligations with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, as the case may be notwithstanding any such termination or resignation.

Section 3.17 Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.

Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, each of the Company as a Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian (to the extent set forth in this Section) (each, an “Attesting Party”) at its own expense shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, a report regarding such Attesting Party’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB, must contain the following:

(a) A statement by an authorized officer of such Attesting Party of its authority and responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;

(b) A statement by an authorized officer that such Attesting Party used the Servicing Criteria attached as Exhibit N hereto, and which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;

(c) An assessment by such officer of the related Attesting Party’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the related Attesting Party, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;

(d) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the related Attesting Party’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and

(e) A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the related Attesting Party, which statement shall be based on the activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving such Attesting Party, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.

Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to the related Attesting Party.

On or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, each Attesting Party shall furnish to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the related Attesting Party, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer to deliver to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided in the related Servicing Agreement. Each of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall cause, and the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation (as and when provided in the related Servicing Agreement) of each Servicer to cause, any subservicer and each subcontractor (to the extent such subcontractor is determined by the Company, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB) that is engaged by the Company, such Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to deliver to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided above. Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any subservicer or subcontractor, shall at a minimum address the applicable Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to any “primary servicer” to the extent such subservicer or subcontractor is performing any servicing function for the party who engages it and to the extent such party is not itself addressing the Servicing Criteria related to such servicing function in its own Assessment of Compliance. The Securities Administrator shall confirm that each of the Assessments of Compliance delivered to it, taken as a whole, address all of the Servicing Criteria and taken individually address the Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth in Exhibit N and notify the Depositor of any exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

In addition, for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, the Company as a Servicer shall (and shall cause each subservicer engaged by it to) provide the following information to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator: (A) any Company Default hereunder and any subservicer event of default under the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement, (B) any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, any such subservicer, and (C) the Company’s entry into an agreement with a subservicer to perform or assist in the performance of any of the Company’s obligations as Servicer.

In addition, the Company as a Servicer, shall cause each subservicer engaged by it to provide the following information to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable, within the timeframes that the Company would otherwise have to provide such information:

(A) any material modifications, extensions or waivers of pool asset terms, fees, penalties or payments during the distribution period or that have cumulatively become material over time (Item 1121(a)(11) of Regulation AB);

(B) material breaches of pool asset representations or warranties or transaction covenants (Item 1121(a)(12) of Regulation AB); and

(C) information regarding new asset-backed securities issuances backed by the same pool assets, any pool asset changes (such as, additions, substitutions or repurchases), and any material changes in origination, underwriting or other criteria for acquisition or selection of pool assets (Item 1121(a)(14) of Regulation AB).

The Custodian shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to a “custodian”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report is not required to be delivered by any Custodian unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

Failure of the Company to comply with this Section 3.17 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall be deemed a Company Default, and the Master Servicer shall, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. Failure of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.17 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall constitute an Event of Default, and at the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same (but subject to the Master Servicer’s rights to payment of any Master Servicing Compensation and reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). Failure of the Securities Administrator to comply with this Section 3.17 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall constitute a default and at the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Securities Administrator under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Securities Administrator for the same (but subject to the Securities Administrator’s right to reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

In the event the Company, the Master Servicer, the Custodian, the Securities Administrator or any subservicer or subcontractor engaged by any such party is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of the Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, or any other applicable agreement in the case of a subservicer or subcontractor, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Assessment of Compliance and cause to be provided an Attestation Report pursuant to this Section 3.17 or to the related section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation.

Section 3.18 Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a) (i) (A) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted exceptions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards, prepare and file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a Distribution Report on Form 10-D, signed by the Master Servicer, with a copy of the Monthly Statement to be furnished by the Securities Administrator to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date attached thereto; provided that, the Securities Administrator shall have received no later than five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution Date, all information required to be provided to the Securities Administrator as described in clause (a)(iv) below. Any disclosure that is in addition to the Monthly Statement and that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit P to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, pursuant to the paragraph immediately below, and approved for inclusion by the Depositor, and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the Securities Administrator is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit P) and approval.

(B) Within five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) the parties set forth in Exhibit P shall be required to provide, and the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) to provide, pursuant to Section 3.18(a)(iv) below, to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and the Depositor and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this Section.

(C) After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (in the case of any Additional 10-D Disclosure and otherwise if requested by the Depositor) and the Master Servicer for review. Within two Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date (provided that, the Securities Administrator forwards a copy of the Form 10-D no later than the 10th calendar day after the Distribution Date), the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-D.

(c) Failure of the Company to comply with this Section 3.18 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall be deemed a Company Default, and the Master Servicer shall, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same.

In connection with the termination of the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.18(d), the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs and expenses associated with such termination to the extent set forth in Section 10.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Event of Default by the Master Servicer or default by the Securities Administrator shall have occurred with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any report on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, any Form 15 or Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from any party’s inability or failure to deliver, on a timely basis, any information from such party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file any such report, Form or amendment, and does not result from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

In the case of any failure of performance described above, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered pursuant to this Section 3.18 as required by the Company, any subservicer or any subcontractor.

Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Company and the Servicers as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive and review certain reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Company and the Servicers and shall enforce the obligations, conditions and covenants of the Company and Servicers to the extent set forth in this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, respectively. The Master Servicer shall monitor the Company and the Servicers’ servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information described in the previous sentence and received by the Master Servicer on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Company’s, the 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 6.06 and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Company and the Servicers pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, respectively. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Mortgage Loan data provided by the Company and the Servicers and shall have no liability for any errors in such Mortgage Loan data.

In addition to the foregoing, in connection with a modification of any Mortgage Loan by a Servicer, if the Master Servicer is unable to enforce the obligations of the Servicer with respect to such modification, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor of such Servicer’s failure to comply with the terms of the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement. If the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement (in the case of the Company, as Servicer) requires the approval of the Master Servicer for a modification to a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall approve such modification if, based upon its receipt of written notification from the related Servicer outlining the terms of such modification and appropriate supporting documentation, the Master Servicer determines that the modification is permitted under the terms of the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement (in the case of the Company, as Servicer) and that any conditions to such modification set forth in the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement have been satisfied. Furthermore, if the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement (in the case of the Company, as Servicer) requires the oversight and monitoring of loss mitigation measures with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will monitor any loss mitigation procedure or recovery action related to a defaulted Mortgage Loan (to the extent it receives notice of such from the related Servicer) and confirm that such loss mitigation procedure or recovery action is initiated, conducted and concluded in accordance with any timeframes and any other requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement (in the case of the Company, as Servicer), and the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor in any case in which the Master Servicer believes that the related Servicer is not complying with such timeframes and/or other requirements.

The Master Servicer, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf and the Securities Administrator shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf or the Securities Administrator regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodians nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Master Servicer’s, the Trustee’s, the Custodians’ or the Securities Administrator’s actual costs.

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

Section 4.02 Monitoring of Company and Servicers.

(a) In the review of the Company’s and the Servicers’ activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon the Annual Statement of Compliance of the Company and the Servicers with regard to such Person’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement; provided that no such reliance will relieve the Master Servicer of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Company or the related Servicer should be terminated in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Company or a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Person thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to instruct the Trustee to enter into a new servicing agreement with a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor servicer; provided further, if a Servicer or the Company has failed to advance or failed to make a payment so that the Master Servicer has had to advance its own funds, then the Master Servicer may terminate such Servicer or the Company. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the applicable Servicing Agreement and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right of reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

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

(d) The Master Servicer shall require the Company and each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

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

Section 4.03 Fidelity Bond.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall (i) maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder or (ii) self insure if Xxxxx Fargo Bank maintains with any Rating Agency the equivalent of a long term unsecured debt rating of “A”. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond referred to in (i) above shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers.

Section 4.04 Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article XI hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 4.02, shall not permit the Company or a Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action, or failure to take action, will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, as the case may be.

The Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer, the Company or the Servicers). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

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

To the extent provided in this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Company and each Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with this Agreement or 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 this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.06 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer, Company and Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and the Company or a Servicer (to the extent required by this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of such Person from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of each Servicer, the related Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer, the Company or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer, the Company 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 Distribution Account, the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of the Company and a Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall enforce the obligation of the Company and each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, and their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer, the Company and the 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, the Company or the Servicers under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.07 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement) enforce the obligation of the Company or each Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the Company or the Servicers and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts that are to be applied upon receipt to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property, which repair or restoration the owner of such Mortgaged Property or EMC, as applicable, has agreed to make as a condition precedent to the presentation of its claims on the related EMC Mortgage Loan under the applicable Insurance Policy, need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 4.08 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Company and the Servicers (to the extent set forth under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

Section 4.09 Compensation of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee on each Distribution Date as compensation for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer will also be entitled to all income realized from any investment of funds in the Distribution Account for the performance of its activities hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

Section 4.10 REO Property.

(a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, cause the Company and each Servicer to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall enforce any obligations of the Company or the related Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by this Agreement or 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 this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable, enforce the obligation of the Company and each Servicer, as applicable, to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the related Protected Account.

(c) The Master Servicer and the Company or the related Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Monthly Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

(d) To the extent provided in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, the Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the Company or the related Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in the Protected Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the related Distribution Account on the next succeeding Remittance Date.

Section 4.11 UCC.

EMC shall file any financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto required by any change in the Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 4.12 Reserve Fund; Payments to and from Swap Administrator; Supplemental Interest Trust.

(a) As of the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be established and maintained in the name of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as a separate trust, the corpus of which shall be held by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and the Swap Provider. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall hold the Swap Agreement, the Swap Administration Agreement, the Swap Account and REMIC V Regular Interest IO. The Swap Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement. Amounts in the Swap Account shall, at the written direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder, be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. All net income and gain from such investments shall be distributed to the Majority Class C Certificateholder, not as a distribution in respect of any interest in any REMIC, on such Distribution Date. In the absence of written instructions to the Securities Administrator, amounts on deposit in the Swap Account shall remain uninvested. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Swap Account shall be taxable to the Majority Class C Certificateholder. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Swap Account by the Majority Class C Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized. In performing its duties hereunder and under the Swap Agreement and the rights in respect of the Swap Administration Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be entitled to the same rights, protections and indemnities as provided to the Securities Administrator hereunder.

(b) On or before the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish a Reserve Fund on behalf of the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates). On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall cause an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Deposit to be deposited into the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund must be an Eligible Account. The Reserve Fund shall be titled “Reserve Fund, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Securities Administrator on behalf of Citibank, N.A. as Trustee for the benefit of holders of SACO I Trust 2007-1, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-1, Certificates”. The Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Reserve Fund all payments received from the Swap Administrator that are payable to the Trust Fund pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall remit such amounts received from the Swap Administrator to the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates in the manner provided in clause (d) below. In addition, on each Distribution Date as to which there is a Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amount payable to any Class of Class A, Class M or Class B Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall deposit the amounts distributable pursuant to clauses (C) and (D) of Section 6.04(a)(4) into the Reserve Fund, and the Securities Administrator has been directed by the Class C Certificateholder to distribute any amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund to the Holders of the Class A, Class M or Class B Certificates in respect of the Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts for each such Class in the priorities set forth in clauses (C) and (D) of Section 6.04(a)(4). Any amount paid to the Holders of Class A, Class M or Class B Certificates from amounts distributable pursuant to clauses (C) and (D) of Section 6.04(a)(4) pursuant to the preceding sentence in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts shall be treated as distributed to the Majority Class C Certificateholder in respect of the Class C Certificates and paid by the Majority Class C Certificateholder to the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates, as applicable. Any payments to the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall Carry Forward Amounts, whether pursuant to the second preceding sentence or pursuant to clause (d) below, shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code.

(c) Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments (other than Swap Termination Payments resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event and to the extent not paid by the Swap Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee from any upfront payment received pursuant to any replacement interest rate swap agreement that may be entered into by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) payable by the Swap Administrator, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement shall be deducted from Interest Funds, and to the extent of any such remaining amounts due, from Principal Funds, prior to any distributions to the Certificateholders. On or before each Distribution Date, such amounts shall be remitted to the Swap Administrator, and deposited into the Swap Account, first to make any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such Distribution Date and for prior Distribution Dates, if any, and second to make any Swap Termination Payment (not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event and to the extent not paid by the Swap Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee from any upfront payment received pursuant to any replacement interest rate swap agreement that may be entered into by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such Distribution Date and for prior Distribution Dates, if any. For federal income tax purposes, such amounts paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of REMIC V Regular Interest IO to the extent of the amount distributable on such REMIC V Regular Interest IO on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount. Any Swap Termination Payment triggered by a Swap Provider Trigger Event owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement will be subordinated to distributions to the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates, and the Swap Administrator shall pay the amount set forth in Section 6.04(a)(4) to the Swap Provider. In addition, the Swap Administrator shall remit to the Swap Provider any Swap Optional Termination Payment paid as part of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price and remitted to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to Section 11.01.

(d) On or before each Distribution Date, Net Swap Payments payable by the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement to the Swap Administrator, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, will be deposited by the Swap Administrator, acting on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, into the Swap Account pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement. The Swap Administrator shall, to the extent provided in the Swap Administration Agreement, remit amounts on deposit in the Swap Account to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Reserve Fund. On each Distribution Date, to the extent required, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw such amounts from the Reserve Fund to distribute to the Certificates in the following order of priority:

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

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

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

(iv) fourth, to pay as principal to the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates as part of the Extra Principal Distribution Amount payable under Section 6.04(a)(2) until the Overcollateralization Target Amount has been reached, to the extent not paid from Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 6.04(a)(4) for such Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts distributable pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be limited to rebuilding overcollateralization related to Loan to the extent overcollateralization has been reduced through Realized Losses related to Loan.

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

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

(g) Upon a Swap Early Termination other than in connection with the Optional Termination of the Trust, the Swap Administrator, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement, will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor swap provider selected by the Depositor to enter into a new interest rate swap agreement on terms substantially similar to the Swap Agreement, with a successor swap provider meeting all applicable eligibility requirements. If the Swap Administrator receives a Swap Termination Payment from the Swap Provider in connection with such Swap Early Termination, the Swap Administrator will apply such Swap Termination Payment to any upfront payment required to appoint the successor swap provider. If the Swap Administrator is required to pay a Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Provider in connection with such Swap Early Termination, the Swap Administrator will apply any upfront payment received from the successor swap provider to pay such Swap Termination Payment. If the Swap Administrator is unable to appoint a successor swap provider within 30 days of the Swap Early Termination, then the Swap Administrator will deposit any Swap Termination Payment received from the original Swap Provider into a separate, non-interest bearing reserve account and will, on each subsequent Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit in such reserve account an amount equal to the Net Swap Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Swap Administrator by the original Swap Provider calculated in accordance with the terms of the original Swap Agreement, and distribute such amount to the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates or for such other purpose specified in the Swap Administration Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

(h) In the event that the Swap Provider fails to perform any of its obligations under the Swap Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties thereunder, or in the event that an Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the Swap Agreement) occurs with respect to the Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall immediately, but no later than the next Business Day following such failure, breach, or occurrence, notify the Depositor and send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, in accordance with the Swap Agreement.

(i) In the event that the Swap Provider’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under a guaranty relating to the Swap Agreement (such guaranty the “Guaranty” and such third party the “Guarantor”), then to the extent that the Swap Provider fails to make any payment by the close of business on the day it is required to make payment under the terms of the Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, as soon as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after the Swap Provider’s failure to pay, demand that the Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by the Guarantor pursuant to such Guaranty. The Swap Provider or the Depositor shall promptly provide the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee with a copy of such Guaranty; provided that, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall in no event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by the Swap Provider or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to the Swap Agreement and the Guaranty, nor for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) in connection therewith.

(j) The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall cause any replacement swap provider to provide a copy of the replacement interest rate swap agreement to the Depositor.

Section 4.13 Credit Support Account.

The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to comply with the terms and provisions of the Credit Support Annex and to perform the obligations of the Custodian (as defined in the Credit Support Annex).

Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Support Annex, the Swap Provider may be required to post additional collateral in connection with its obligations under the Swap Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, on or before the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish a Credit Support Account on behalf of the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates. The Credit Support Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Credit Support Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee for the benefit of holders of SACO I Trust 2007-1, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-1.” The Credit Support Account shall be controlled by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. Any collateral (whether in the form of cash or securities) (the “Posted Collateral”) posted by the Swap Provider to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee in connection with the Credit Support Annex shall be deposited into the Credit Support Account for the benefit of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates. All collateral and earnings thereon on deposit in the Credit Support Account shall be maintained and applied in accordance with Credit Support Annex.

If the Posted Collateral constitutes definitive securities (the “Posted Definitive Securities”), the Swap Provider shall deliver, pledge and assign to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates, and grant in favor of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates, a first priority security interest in all of the Swap Provider’s right, title and interest in and such Posted Definitive Securities, and all of the Swap Provider’s rights and privileges with respect thereto and all proceeds, income and profits thereof and all property received in exchange thereof or in substitution therefor. Simultaneously with the delivery of any securities which constitute all or a part of the Posted Definitive Securities, the Swap Provider shall deliver (i) all instruments and certificates (if any) representing the Posted Definitive Securities and (ii) bond powers or other appropriate assignment documents necessary to transfer the Posted Definitive Securities duly executed in blank by the Swap Provider. The Swap Provider shall promptly deliver to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, all additional certificates or other instruments (if any) representing any Posted Definitive Securities acquired or received after the date of the transfer of the Posted Definitive Securities with a bond power duly executed by the Swap Provider. If at any time the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee notifies the Swap Provider that the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee requires additional powers endorsed in blank, the Swap Provider shall promptly execute in blank and deliver the requested power to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. The Swap Provider hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates as the Swap Provider’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to affix to any certificates and documents representing the Posted Definitive Securities the bond powers delivered with respect thereto, and to transfer or cause the transfer of the Posted Definitive Securities, or any part thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Support Annex. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Agreement and all authority hereby conferred are granted and conferred solely to protect the interest in the Posted Definitive Securities and shall not impose any duty upon the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee to exercise any power. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable until the Posted Definitive Securities are released to the Swap Provider under the Credit Support Annex.

If the Posted Collateral consists of book-entry securities, the Swap Provider shall provide evidence that the records of DTC or such depository show the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates as the beneficial ownership of such Posted Collateral.

To the extent the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee is required to return any of the Posted Collateral to the Swap Provider under the terms of the Credit Support Annex, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall return such collateral in accordance with the terms of the Credit Support Annex.

The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be the nominal owner of the Credit Support Account. The Swap Provider shall be the beneficial owner of the Credit Support Account. Cash collateral posted by the Swap Provider in accordance with the Credit Support Annex shall, at the written direction of the Swap Provider to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. All net income and gain from such investments and from interest earned on any securities remitted by the Swap Provider to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee in connection with the Credit Support Annex shall be distributed to the Swap Provider, on such Distribution Date. In the absence of written instructions to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, amounts on deposit in the Credit Support Account shall remain uninvested. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Credit Support Account shall be taxable to the Swap Provider. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Credit Support Account by the Swap Provider out of its own funds immediately as realized.

Section 4.14 Tax Treatment of Class IO Distribution Amounts in the Event of Resecuritization of Class A, Class M or Class B Certificates.

In the event that any Class A, Class M or Class B Certificate is resecuritized in a REMIC (the “Resecuritization REMIC”), for federal income tax purposes, (i) payments on the REMIC III Regular Interest corresponding to such Class A, Class M or Class B Certificate shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to include the related Class IO Distribution Amount, and (ii) to the extent provided in the operative documents for the Resecuritization REMIC, (a) payments on the “regular interests” issued by the Resecuritization REMIC shall be deemed to include in the aggregate such Class IO Distribution Amount, and (b) such Class IO Distribution Amount shall be deemed paid to the Holder of the Class C Certificates pursuant to a notional principal contract entered into by the holders of one or more “regular interests” issued by the Resecuritization REMIC (“Resecuritization Holders”) and the Holder of the Class C Certificates. In such event, Class IO Distribution Amounts deemed paid by Resecuritization Holders under clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid on behalf of such holders pursuant to Section 4.12(c) hereof.

Section 4.15 Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

(a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Company and the related Servicer under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

(b) Pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.04 any amounts collected by the Company, the Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by the Company or the Servicers, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreements) shall be deposited by the Company in its Protected Account or by the related Servicer or the Master Servicer into the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 5.02, 5.04 and 5.05, as applicable. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer, the Company or the related 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, the Company or the related Servicer pursuant to Sections 5.02, 5.04 and 5.05, as applicable.

ARTICLE V

ACCOUNTS

Section 5.01 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Protected Account.

(a) The Company shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states in which the Mortgaged Properties related to the EMC Mortgage Loans are located to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the EMC Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the Due Dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note related to an EMC Mortgage Loan for a period not greater than 125 days, provided that, EMC shall not extend the payment date of any Mortgage Loan beyond the date of its final maturity date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Company shall make Advances on the related EMC Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such EMC Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with Section 6.01. The Company shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. In addition, if (x) an EMC Mortgage Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable, the Company may also waive, modify or vary any term of any EMC Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any mortgagor, including without limitation, to (1) capitalize any amounts owing on the EMC Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the EMC Mortgage Loan, (2) defer such amounts to a later date or the final payment date of such Mortgage Loan, (3) extend the maturity of any such EMC Mortgage Loan, but in no instance past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date, and/or (4) reduce the related Mortgage Rate (subject to clause (y) below), provided that, in the Company’s determination, such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action), or (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee, Securities Administrator and Master Servicer a certification addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants, in either case, that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs, that a modification of such EMC Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, the Company may if it reasonably believes that undertaking such actions would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, (A) amend the related Mortgage Note to reduce the Mortgage Rate applicable thereto, provided that such reduced Mortgage Rate shall in no event be lower than 5.00% with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan and (B) amend any Mortgage Note related to an EMC Mortgage Loan to extend the maturity thereof; provided that, EMC shall not extend the payment date of any Mortgage Loan beyond its final maturity date.

In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of Section 3.01, the Company shall not waive (or permit a sub-servicer to waive) any Prepayment Charge related to an EMC Mortgage Loan unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the mortgage debt has been accelerated in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related EMC Mortgage Loan. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Company is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Class C Certificates, by remitting such amount to the Master Servicer by the Remittance Date. Payments of such waived charges shall not be payments in respect of any Regular Interest.

(b) The Company shall establish and maintain a Protected Account (which shall at all times be an Eligible Account) with a depository institution in the name of the Company for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and designated “EMC Mortgage Corporation, as servicer on behalf of Citibank, N.A., as Trustee, for the benefit of the certificateholders, in trust for registered Holders of SACO I Trust 2007-1, Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-1”. The Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Protected Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt and identification, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by subservicers or received by it in respect of the EMC Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the EMC Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

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

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

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

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

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

The foregoing requirements for deposit by the Company into the Protected Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be deposited by the Company. In the event that the Company shall deposit any amount not required to be deposited and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.02, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Protected Account, to withdraw such amount from the Protected Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the institution maintaining the Protected Account, that describes the amounts deposited in error in the Protected Account. The Company shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. Reconciliations will be prepared for the Protected Account within 45 calendar days after the bank statement cut-off date. All funds deposited in the Protected Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.02.

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

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

(e) In the event that the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator are no longer affiliated, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain an account separate from the Distribution Account into which any funds remitted by the Company and Servicers will be deposited. No later than noon New York time on the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall remit any such funds to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall make the following permitted withdrawals and transfers from such account:

(i) The Master Servicer will, from time to time on demand of the Company, a Servicer or the Securities Administrator, make or cause to be made such withdrawals or transfers from the account as the Master Servicer has designated for such transfer or withdrawal pursuant to this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer may clear and terminate the account pursuant to Section 11.01 and remove amounts from time to time deposited in error.

(ii) On an ongoing basis, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the account (i) any expenses, costs and liabilities recoverable by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator or the Custodian pursuant to Sections 4.03, 8.04 and 10.05 and (ii) any amounts payable to the Master Servicer as set forth in Section 4.14; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall be obligated to pay from its own funds any amounts which it is required to pay under Section 8.03(a).

(iii) In addition, on or before each Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account (or remit to the Trustee for deposit therein) any Monthly Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

(iv) No later than noon New York time on each Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer will transfer all Available Funds on deposit in the account with respect to the related Distribution Date to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account.

Section 5.02 Permitted Withdrawals From the Protected Account.

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

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

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

(iii) to reimburse the Company for any previously made portion of a Servicing Advance or an Advance made by the Company that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, will not be ultimately recoverable by it from the related Mortgagor, any related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise (a “Nonrecoverable Advance”), to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (v);

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

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

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

(vii) to withdraw pursuant to Section 5.01 any amount deposited in the Protected Account and not required to be deposited therein; and

In addition, no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw from the Protected Account and remit to the Securities Administrator the amount required to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof.

With respect to any remittance received by the Securities Administrator from EMC after the date on which such remittance was due, EMC shall pay to the Securities Administrator interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be remitted to the Master Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the date on which such remittance was due and ending with the Business Day on which such remittance is made, both inclusive. The payment by EMC of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default with respect to EMC. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by EMC of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default with respect to EMC.

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

Section 5.03 Reports to the Master Servicer.

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

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

Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Company out of related collections for any payments made with respect to each EMC Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and Section 3.07 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors for any EMC Mortgage Loans any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to such Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01 thereof. The Escrow Account shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES

Section 6.01 Advances.

(a) The Company shall make an Advance with respect to any EMC Mortgage Loan and deposit such Advance in the Distribution Account no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Remittance Date in immediately available funds. The related Servicer shall make an Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loans serviced by it pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Company or the related Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Company or the related Servicer, as the case may be, shall present an Officer’s Certificate to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency, and the Trustee (i) stating that the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, elects not to make an Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Subject to the Master Servicer’s recoverability determination, in the event that a Servicer fails to make a required Advance, the Master Servicer, as successor servicer, shall be required to remit the amount of such Advance to the Distribution Account.

Notwithstanding any requirement in this section to the contrary, the Company or the related Servicer shall discontinue making advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan that becomes 60 days Delinquent without delivering an Officer’s Certificate. In addition, subject to Section 4.08 of the Agreement, the Company or the related Servicer must charge off a Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan, as applicable, becomes 180 days Delinquent unless the Company or the related Servicer reasonably believes that it may be able to obtain a net recovery through foreclosure proceedings or other conversion of the related Mortgage Loan. Once a Mortgage Loan is charged off, the Company or the related Servicer shall not be entitled to any additional Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent of any unpaid Servicing Fees and expenses which shall be reimbursable from any recoveries on such Mortgage Loan, and the Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a Liquidated Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss. If the Company or the related Servicer determines that a significant net recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other disposition of the related Mortgage Loan that becomes 60 days Delinquent, the Company or the related Servicer may continue making advances on such Mortgage Loan. To the extent the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, determines that a proposed Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and in its sole discretion reinstates and subsequently makes additional Advances for such Mortgage Loan, such Advances shall be reimbursable from any Subsequent Recoveries or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

Unless specific Subsequent Recoveries are anticipated, as applicable, on a particular Mortgage Loan that is charged off as described in the preceding paragraph or the applicable Servicing Agreement, such charged off Mortgage Loan will be released from the Trust Fund, and will be transferred to the Class X Certificateholders. If any Subsequent Recoveries are anticipated on such charged off Mortgage Loans, the release of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund will be delayed until the Distribution Date after receipt of such Subsequent Recoveries. After the release of any charged off Mortgage Loan, the Class X Certificateholders will be entitled to any amounts subsequently received in respect of any such released Mortgage Loans, subject to any fees or expenses owed to the Master Servicer. Such Class X Certificateholder may designate any servicer to service any such released mortgage loan and the Class X Certificateholder may sell any such released Mortgage Loan to a third party. To the extent the servicing of such released Mortgage Loan is not transferred from the Company or the related Servicer, the servicing of such released Mortgage Loan and the fees therefor shall be governed by this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

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

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

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

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

Section 6.02 Compensating Interest Payments.

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

(b) The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Company or the related Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement to remit any required Compensating Interest to the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date.

(c) The Master Servicer shall be required to remit the amount of any such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls required to be paid by the related Servicer pursuant to Section 6.02(a), to the extent of the Master Servicing Compensation for such Distribution Date, in the event the Company or the related Servicer fails to do so.

Section 6.03 REMIC Distributions.

(A) to the Class A Certificates, (a) first, any remaining Interest Carry Forward Amount due with respect to each such Class to the extent not fully paid pursuant to clause (a)(1) above and Section 4.12(d) and (b) second, any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount for each such Class for such Distribution Date, pro rata, in accordance with the Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated to each such Class to the extent not fully paid pursuant to Section 4.12(d);

(B) from any remaining Excess Cashflow, sequentially, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates, in that order, an amount equal to the Interest Carry Forward Amount for each such Class for such Distribution Date, to the extent not fully paid pursuant to Section 4.12(d);

On each Distribution Date, all amounts in respect of Prepayment Charges shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class C Certificates, provided that such distributions shall not be in reduction of the principal balance thereof.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a)(2), to the extent a Class IO Distribution Amount is payable from principal collections, Principal Distribution Amounts will be deemed paid to the most subordinate Class of Regular Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and such amount will be paid pursuant to Section 4.12(f).

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

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 Certificate Principal Balance of the related Class of Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05; provided, however, to the extent that no reductions to a Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates currently exists as the result of a prior allocation of a Realized Loss, such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied as Excess Cashflow. The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.05, and so on. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of Current Interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

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

(d) Prior to each Distribution Date, or if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are no longer affiliated, on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver a report to the Securities Administrator in the form of a computer readable magnetic tape (or by such other means as the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator may agree from time to time) containing such data and information, as agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator such as to permit the Securities Administrator to prepare the Monthly Statement to Certificateholders and to direct the Securities Administrator in writing to make the required distributions for the related Distribution Date (the “Remittance Report”).

Section 6.05 Allocation of Realized Losses.

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

(b) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates or the Class C Interest on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance or Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to the Excess Spread shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect of the Class C Interest and the Class C Certificates pursuant to clause (G) of Section 6.04(a)(4).

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

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

Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Certificate that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.

No transfer of any Class C Certificate shall be made unless the proposed transferee of such Class C Certificate (1) provides to the Securities Administrator the appropriate tax certification form that would eliminate any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable by the Swap Provider, pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, to the Swap Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust (i.e., IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto), together with any applicable attachments) and (2) agrees to update such form (a) upon expiration of any such form, (b) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (c) promptly upon learning that such form has become obsolete or incorrect, each as a condition to such transfer. In addition, no transfer of any Class C Certificate shall be made if such transfer would cause the Supplemental Interest Trust to be beneficially owned by two or more persons for federal income tax purposes, or continue to be so treated, unless (i) each proposed transferee of such Class C Certificate complies with the foregoing conditions and (ii) the proposed majority holder of the Class C Certificates (or each holder, if there is or would be no majority holder) (A) provides, or causes to be provided, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, if applicable, to the Securities Administrator, the appropriate tax certification form that would be required from the Supplemental Interest Trust to eliminate any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable by the Swap Provider, pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, to the Swap Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust (i.e., IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto), together with any applicable attachments) and (B) agrees to update such form (x) upon expiration of any such form, (y) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (z) promptly upon learning that such form has become obsolete or incorrect. If, under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, such tax certification form may only be signed by a trustee acting on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, then the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall sign such certification form if so requested by a holder of the Class C Certificates. Upon receipt of any tax certification form pursuant to the preceding conditions from a holder of any Class C Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall forward such tax certification form to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall forward such tax certification form provided to it to the Swap Provider. Each holder of a Class C Certificate and each transferee thereof shall be deemed to have consented to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee forwarding to the Swap Provider any tax certification form it has provided and updated in accordance with these transfer restrictions. Any purported sales or transfers of any Class C Certificate to a transferee which does not comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall be deemed null and void under this Agreement.

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

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

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

Prior to the termination of the related Supplemental Interest Trust, no Transfer of a related Class A Certificate shall be made unless either (i) the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, or is deemed to represent in the case of a Global Certificate, that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (either a "Plan"), or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets a Plan, or (ii) the transferee provides a representation, or is deemed to represent in the case of the Global Certificate that (A) such plan is an accredited investor within the meaning of the Exemption and (B) the proposed transfer or holding of such Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under PTCE 84-14, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 95-60 or PTCE 96-23.

Each beneficial owner of a related Class M or Class B Certificate (other than a Class B-4 Certificate) or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with "Plan Assets" or (ii) (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 Section I of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer will be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Global Certificates. Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 7.02 shall be void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of any Certificate in violation of such provisions, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer as a result of such attempted or purported transfer. Neither the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for transfer of any such Global Certificates in or through book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan, all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Securities Administrator and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 7.03, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Securities Administrator under the terms of this Section 7.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.

Section 7.04 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

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

Section 7.06 Book-Entry Certificates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Private Certificates shall initially be held in fully registered certificated form. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates of one or more such Classes request that the Securities Administrator cause such Class to become Global Certificates, the Depositor (with the assistance of the Securities Administrator) will take such action as may be reasonably required to cause the Depository to accept such Class or Classes for trading if it may legally be so traded. If at anytime there are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered to the Depository by the Depositor or deposited with the Securities Administrator as custodian for the Depository.

All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.

Section 7.07 Notices to Depository.

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

Section 7.08 Definitive Certificates.

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

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

The Securities Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies located at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Corporate Trust Services - SACO 07-1, where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities Administrator initially designates its Corporate Trust Office, as the office for such purposes. The Securities Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

(a) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action (i) related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the affected Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and EMC written notice thereof promptly after such Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof; provided, however that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent the Master Servicer is prejudiced thereby. 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 Company agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons and to hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Indemnified Persons may sustain in any way related to (i) the failure of the Company to perform in any way its duties hereunder and service the EMC Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or (iii) incurred by reason of the Company’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

The Company agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Indemnified Persons unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Persons from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.03(b) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(c) EMC will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss, liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise paid or covered pursuant to subsection (b) above. Such indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.04 Limitations on Liability of the Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer and Others.

(a) Subject to the obligation of the Company and the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 8.03, neither the Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Company and the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

(d) None of the Depositor, the Company, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall 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 (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account as provided by Section 5.06.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to and delivered to, the Trustee.

If the Successor Master Servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such Successor Master Servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans.

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

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

(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Securities Administrator any amounts received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans and required to be remitted by it hereunder (other than any Advance), which failure shall continue unremedied for one Business Day after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or

(ii) other than with respect to clause (viii) below, any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement or any breach of a representation or warranty by the Master Servicer, which failure or breach shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or

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

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

(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi) the Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 8.05 or 8.07;

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

(viii) failure by the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18.

If an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates the Trustee shall in the case of any Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) and clause (viii) above, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Swap Provider, with a copy to each Rating Agency may, terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Trustee shall only terminate the Master Servicer for an Event of Default as described in clause (viii) above upon direction from the Depositor. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee, or any Successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 (a “Successor Master Servicer” and, if applicable, “Successor Securities Administrator”). Such Successor Master Servicer shall thereupon if such Successor Master Servicer is a successor to the Master Servicer, make any Advance required by Article IV, subject, in the case of the Trustee, to Section 9.02. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Master Servicer and, if applicable, the terminated Securities Administrator, as attorney- in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of any Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII or Article X. The Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the applicable Successor Master Servicer of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Distribution Account maintained pursuant to Section 5.06, or thereafter be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of the occurrence of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee. The Securities Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the occurrence of an Event of Default under clauses (i) or (vii) above.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 9.01 shall occur, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Depositor, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Holder of the Certificates or to reimbursement of monthly Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 9.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any monthly Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 9.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.

Section 9.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

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

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

Section 9.03 Notification to Certificateholders.

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

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

Section 9.04 Waiver of Defaults.

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

Section 9.05 Company Default.

In case one or more of the following events of default by the Company (each, a “Company Default”) shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i) any failure by the Company to remit to the Securities Administrator any payment including any Advance required to be made under the terms of this Agreement on any Remittance Date; or

(ii) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement (other than Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18) on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of sixty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Master Servicer; or

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

(iv) the Company shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Company or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v) the Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi) the Company attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Company attempts to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein; or

(vii) the Company ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Company’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(viii) failure by the Company to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 3.16, Section 3.17 or Section 3.18;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Company Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, by notice in writing to the Company may, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders may have under Section 8.03 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to the EMC Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company for the same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice, all authority and power of Company under this Agreement, whether with respect to the EMC Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer after a transition period (not to exceed 90 days). Upon written request from the Master Servicer, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in the Master Servicer’s possession all Mortgage Files relating to the EMC Mortgage Loans, and 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 EMC Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company’s sole expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Company’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to its Protected Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the EMC Mortgage Loans or any related REO Property.

The costs and expenses of the Master Servicer in connection with the termination of the Company, appointment of a successor to the Company, and, if applicable, any transfer of servicing, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Master Servicer or other successor to the Company to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer or such successor to service the related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, to the extent not previously paid by the terminated Company, shall be payable to the Master Servicer or such successor pursuant to Section 5.07.

Section 9.06 Waiver of Company Defaults.

The Master Servicer, may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Company Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been 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 in writing.

Section 10.08 Resignation and Removal of Trustee and Securities Administrator.

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign (including, in the case of the Securities Administrator being affiliated with the Master Servicer, in connection with the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer) and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Swap Provider, the Seller, the Securities Administrator (or the Trustee, if the Securities Administrator resigns) and the Master Servicer, with a copy to each Rating Agency.

Any successor trustee or securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 10.08 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, to its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or securities administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or securities administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee or securities administrator herein.

Any corporation, state bank or national banking association into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation, state bank or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation, state bank or national banking association succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or of the business of the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 10.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 10.12 Tax Matters.

(e) the Securities Administrator shall provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) each of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall, to the extent under its control, conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC formed hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that could (i) cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC formed hereunder or (ii) 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); (h) the Securities Administrator shall pay, from the sources specified in this Section 10.12, the amount of any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any REMIC formed hereunder prior to the termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee, the Securities Administrator at the written request of the Trustee, or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) the Trustee shall sign or cause to be signed federal, state or local income tax or information returns or any other document prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 10.12 requiring a signature thereon by the Trustee; (j) the Securities Administrator shall maintain records relating to each REMIC formed hereunder including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each such REMIC and adjusted basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; (k) the Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on an accrual basis; (l) none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall enter into any arrangement not otherwise provided for in this Agreement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the REMICs to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code; and (l) as and when necessary and appropriate, the Securities Administrator, at the expense of the Trust Fund, shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC formed hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving any such REMIC.

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

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local tax or minimum tax imposed upon any of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV or REMIC V, and is not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid (i) by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, if any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Agreement, provided, however, in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates), (ii) by any party hereto (other than the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator) to the extent any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), first, with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders (pro rata), and second, with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Holders of the following other Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class B-4 Certificates, second, to the Class B-3 Certificates, third, to the Class B-2 Certificates, fourth, to the Class B-1 Certificates, fifth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, sixth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, seventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates, eighth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, ninth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, tenth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, and eleventh, to the Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that any taxes described in the preceding sentence are payable by the Holder of any such Certificates, the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized to retain on any Distribution Date from the Holders of the Class R Certificates (and, if necessary, second, from the Holders of the other relevant Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding sentence), funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay such taxes. The Securities Administrator shall include in its Monthly Statement amounts allocated to the relevant Certificates, taking into account the priorities described in the second preceding sentence. The Securities Administrator shall promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.

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

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

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that 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 Securities Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Securities Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall not be obligated to perform any tax preparing, filing or reporting in connection with the Class X Certificates.

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, none of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, the Swap Administrator, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for the entity-level tax filing or tax preparation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.

Section 10.13 REMIC-Related Covenants.

For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Seller, the Company, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In furtherance, but not in limitation, of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall (unless otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement) (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee and the Securities Administrator has received a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion; or (c) acquire any assets for any REMIC other than any REO Property after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.

The Swap Optional Termination Payment shall not be part of any REMIC and shall not be paid into any account which is part of any REMIC.

(vi) Upon receipt by the Custodian of notice from the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 11.01(iv) and the receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release therefor, the Custodian shall promptly release to the Master Servicer, as applicable the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents prepared and delivered to it which are necessary to transfer any REO Property.

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

Section 11.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.

(i) If on any Determination Date, (i) the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Distribution Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Securities Administrator to send a final distribution notice promptly to each Certificateholder or (ii) the Securities Administrator determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final distribution on such Class, the Securities Administrator shall notify the related Certificateholders within five (5) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made on the immediately following Distribution Date.

If within one year after the second notice all related Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the related Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto.

Section 11.03 Additional Termination Requirements.

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

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

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

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

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

(c) The Securities Administrator, as agent for each REMIC, hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements for a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder upon the written request of the Majority Class C Certificateholder and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 11.03(a)(1), and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Class C Certificateholder.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by parties hereto without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the expectations of investors), to comply with any changes in the Code, to revise any provisions to reflect the obligations of the parties to this Agreement as they relate to Regulation AB, to change the manner in which the Distribution Account maintained by the Securities Administrator or the Protected Account maintained by the Company is maintained or to make such other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as shall not be inconsistent with any other provisions herein if such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates.

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

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

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

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 12.01, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Company, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall enter into any amendment to Section 4.12 or Section 6.04(a)(4)(F) of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not enter into an amendment that has a materially adverse effect on the Swap Provider without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

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

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

Section 12.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Master Servicer shall effect such recordation at the Trust’s expense upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.

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

Section 12.03 Governing Law.

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

Section 12.04 Intention of Parties.

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

The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the assets of the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.

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

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate, a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate, hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate, such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as appropriate, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders.

MORTGAGE-BACKED CERTIFICATE

SERIES 2007-1

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class A Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional, closed-end, second lien, one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR XXXXXXX ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional, closed-end, second lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to BSABS X. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and as company, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue from and including the 25th day of the calendar month preceding the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs to and including the 24th day of the calendar month in which that Distribution Date occurs on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Last Scheduled Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month following the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement, by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator is liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Certificates evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights, or, if applicable, Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

Prior to the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the representations in Section 7.02(h) of the Agreement.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to a certain percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date as set forth in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

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

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class C Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional, closed-end, second lien, one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR XXXXXXX ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

This certifies that ______________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional, closed-end, second lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Xxxxxxx Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to BSABS X. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (in that capacity, the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as seller and as company, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate.

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

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

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

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

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

(i)	we understand that the Privately Offered Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;

(ii)	any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Privately Offered Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Privately Offered Certificates has been made available to us;

(iii)	we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Privately Offered Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor;

(iv)	we are acquiring Privately Offered Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Privately Offered Certificates;

(v)	we agree the Privately Offered Certificates must be held indefinitely by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available;

(vi)	we agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates unless:

	(A) (1) the sale is to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (2) if required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) a letter to substantially the same effect as either this letter or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined under Rule 144A of the Act, the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) (or such other documentation as may be acceptable to the Trustee) is executed promptly by the purchaser and delivered to the addressees hereof and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; and

CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS

Section 2.1. Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

Section 2.2. Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage that have not been recorded and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Loan or the Custodian has not received written instructions from the Seller or the Trustee that the related Mortgaged Properties are located in jurisdictions under the laws of which the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest therein, each such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Seller for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Seller, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.

Section 2.3. Review of Mortgage Files.

(a) The documents set forth in the definition “Mortgage File” herein shall be delivered and released to the Custodian relating to each of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on a Closing Date. The related Mortgage Loans shall be identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule in electronic format which shall be delivered to the Custodian by EMC at least two Business Days prior to each Closing Date. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to EMC, the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

(b) Within 90 days thereafter, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders to review each such document, and shall deliver to EMC, the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

(c) Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review, for the benefit of Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files and deliver to EMC, the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Custodian has received either an original or a copy thereof. If the Custodian finds any document missing, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the mortgage loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule or to appear defective on its face, the Custodian shall note such defect in the exception report attached to the Final Certification and shall promptly notify the Trustee.

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

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

Upon receipt of written request from EMC, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply such entity with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.

Section 2.4. Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice per Exhibit Four or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five from the Trustee that EMC has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a request for release (a “Request for Release”) confirming that the purchase price therefor has been paid as required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to EMC the related Mortgage File.

Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit Four attached hereto or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five, stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the Company or the related Servicer, the related Mortgage File. The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to review in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial Agreement the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan.

From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release per Exhibit Four or Electronic Release Request per Exhibit Five requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, and certifying as to the reason for such release. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable. All Mortgage Files so released to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall be held by it in trust for the Trustee for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated, or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

At any time that the Company, the Master Servicer or the related Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Company, the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Company, the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer or the Master Servicing Officer, as applicable, transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to EMC (unless such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan) and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee (unless such Mortgage Loans is registered on the MERS System) and be returned to EMC.

Section 2.5. Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the related Servicer, to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement or with respect to EMC as company, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.

ARTICLE III.

CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.4 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Seller, the Depositor, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Section 3.2. Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of interests in the Mortgage Loans with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.

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

Section 3.4. Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to the Custodian.

Section 3.7. Limitation on Liability. Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and believed (which belief may be based upon the opinion or advice of counsel selected by it in the exercise of reasonable care) by it or them to be within the purview of this Agreement, except for its or their own negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct. The Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Custodian may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

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

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

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

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

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

(c) will be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities as to the validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of any Mortgage Loans and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity, value or genuineness of the Mortgage Loans;

(d) shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with reasonable indemnity;

(e) may rely on and shall be protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document, or any security, delivered to it and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee;

(f) may rely on and shall be protected in acting upon the written instructions of the Master Servicer or the Trustee and such employees and representatives of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, may hereinafter designate in writing;

(g) may consult counsel satisfactory to it (including counsel for the Trustee or the Master Servicer) and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel (provided that the fees of such counsel in connection with such consultation and opinion shall be paid by the Custodian); and

(h) shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection therewith, except in the case of a breach of any of the Custodian’s obligations hereunder, negligence or willful misconduct.

The Custodian shall be held to the same standard of conduct, and shall be entitled to the same protections, privileges and immunities as other custodians acting in a custodial capacity are generally afforded.

No covenant or agreement contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenant or agreement of any member of the Board of Directors, or any director, officer, agent, employee or representative of the Trustee, Master Servicer, Securities Administrator or the Custodian in his or her individual capacity and none of such persons shall be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the execution of this Agreement, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise.

ARTICLE IV.

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

Section 4.1. Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article IV is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Custodian shall cooperate reasonably with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

Section 4.2. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Custodian.

(a) The Custodian shall be deemed to represent to the Depositor as of the date hereof and on each date on which information is provided to the Depositor under Section 4.3 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Depositor prior to such date: (i) there are no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by it of its Custodian obligations under this Agreement or any other Securitization Transaction as to which it is the custodian; (ii) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against it; and (iii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Custodian with respect to the Depositor or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer, originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other material transaction party (other than the master servicer and the securities administrator, which is the same entity as the Custodian) (as such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by the Depositor to the Custodian in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a “Transaction Party”).

(b) If so requested by the Depositor on any date following the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party. Any such request from the Depositor shall not be given more than once each calendar quarter, unless the Depositor shall have a reasonable basis for a determination that any of the representations and warranties may not be accurate.

Section 4.3. Additional Information to Be Provided by the Custodian. For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, for the purpose of satisfying the Depositor 's reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of publicly offered Certificates, the Custodian shall (a) notify the Depositor and the Securities Administrator in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Custodian that would be material to Certificateholders, and (b) provide to the Depositor (and the Securities Administrator) unless the Custodian and the Securities Administrator are the same party a written description of such proceedings. Any notices and descriptions required under this Section 4.3 shall be given no later than five Business Days prior to the Determination Date following the month in which the Custodian has knowledge of the occurrence of the relevant event. As of the date the Depositor or the Securities Administrator files each Report on Form 10-D or Form 10-K with respect to the Certificates, the Custodian will be deemed to represent that any information previously provided under this Section 4.3, if any, is materially correct and does not have any material omissions unless the Custodian has provided an update to such information.

Section 4.4. Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation. On or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, the Custodian shall:

(a) deliver to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor a report regarding the Custodian’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB, must contain (i) a statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Custodian, (ii) a statement by such officer that the Custodian used the Servicing Criteria attached as Exhibit Six hereto, and which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Custodian, (iii) an assessment by such officer of the Custodian’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities the Custodian performs with respect to asset-based securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Custodian, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans, (iv) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Custodian’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, and (v) a statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Custodian, which statement shall be based on the activities the Custodian performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Custodian, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans. Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit Six hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Custodian; and

(b) deliver to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor an Attestation Report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Custodian, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered by the Custodian unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

Section 4.5. Indemnification; Remedies.

(a) The Custodian shall indemnify the Depositor, each affiliate of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of the Certificates or each Person who controls any of such parties (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon any failure by the Custodian to deliver any report on assessment of compliance or accountants’ attestation when and as required under this Article IV.

(b) In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of Section 4.5(a), the Custodian shall promptly reimburse the Depositor for all costs reasonably incurred by the Depositor in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Custodian.

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The assessment of compliance to be delivered by the Custodian shall address, at a minimum, the criteria identified below as “Applicable Servicing Criteria”:

Servicing Criteria		Applicable Servicing Criteria
Reference	Criteria
	General Servicing Considerations
1122(d)(1)(i)	Policies and procedures are instituted to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of default in accordance with the transaction agreements
1122(d)(1)(ii)	If any material servicing activities are outsourced to third parties, policies and procedures are instituted to monitor the third party’s performance and compliance with such servicing activities
1122(d)(1)(iii)	Any requirements in the transaction agreements to maintain a back-up servicer for the pool assets are maintained.
1122(d)(1)(iv)	A fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy is in effect on the party participating in the servicing function throughout the reporting period in the amount of coverage required by and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the transaction agreements.
	Cash Collection and Administration
1122(d)(2)(i)	Payments on pool assets are deposited into the appropriate custodial bank accounts and related bank clearing accounts no more than two business days following receipt, or such other number of days specified in the transaction agreements.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, 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 2.1. Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

Section 2.2. Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage that have not been recorded pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan or the related Mortgaged Properties are located in jurisdictions specifically excluded by the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Seller for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Seller, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.

Section 2.3. Review of Mortgage Files.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

(b) Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

(c) Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files.

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

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 missing from the Mortgage Files.

Section 2.4. Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the related Servicer and the Trustee.

Section 2.5. Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice from the Trustee that the Seller has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a request for release (a “Request for Release”) confirming that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File.

Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of a Servicer, stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the Servicer, the related Mortgage File. The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to review in accordance with the provisions of their Agreement the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan.

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

At any time that the Company or the related Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Seller (unless such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan) and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee (unless such Mortgage Loans is registered on the MERS System) and be returned to the Seller. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable.

Section 2.6. Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, shall cause the Company or the related Servicer, as applicable, to notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.

ARTICLE III.

CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

Section 3.1. Custodian 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 custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Company, the Depositor, any Servicer or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Section 3.2. Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian 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 3.3. 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 Depositor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.4. Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to Custodian. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.6 and shall be unaffiliated with the Servicers, the Company and the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.

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.

(c) Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form attached as Exhibit Two to the applicable Custodial Agreement to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The related 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.

(d) The Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf will review the Mortgage Files within 180 days of the Closing Date and will deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer, and if reviewed by the related Custodian, the Trustee, a final certification substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 to the applicable Custodial Agreement.

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 or a Servicing Officer 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.

(e) At the time of any substitution, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Replacement Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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 that is a MOM Loan or for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the 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 Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer or an assignment of the servicing as described in Section 8.07 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iv) with respect to any one assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall leave or cause to be left with the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. In the event that, within 180 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee has not been provided with an Opinion of Counsel as described above or received evidence of recording with respect to each Mortgage Loan delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof or as set forth above and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan, the failure to provide evidence of recording or such Opinion of Counsel shall be considered a Material Defect, and the provisions of Section 5(c) and (d) shall apply. All customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be borne by the 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 to continue to be property of the Mortgage Loan Seller, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee (or the related Custodian on its behalf) of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The 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.

(a) The Mortgage Loan Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Mortgage Loan Seller’s Information as identified in Exhibit 3, the omission to state in the Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the Mortgage Loan Seller and in which additional Mortgage Loan Seller’s Information is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with Mortgage Loan Seller’s Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser and each other indemnified party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Mortgage Loan Seller otherwise may have to the Purchaser or any other such indemnified party.

(b) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Mortgage Loan Seller and its respective directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Purchaser’s Information as identified in Exhibit 4, the omission to state in the Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the Purchaser and in which additional Purchaser’s Information is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with the Purchaser’s Information, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Mortgage Loan Seller and each other indemnified party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Purchaser otherwise may have to the Mortgage Loan Seller or any other such indemnified party.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 13 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have otherwise). 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and the indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that the interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties (provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses of one counsel in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction involved. 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.

(d) 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.

(e) The parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified party on any publicly available information or any information or directions furnished by an indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by such indemnified party.

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).

This Agreement may be terminated (a) by the mutual consent of the parties hereto prior to the Closing Date, (b) by the Purchaser, if the conditions to the Purchaser’s obligation to close set forth under Section 10(a) hereof are not fulfilled as and when required to be fulfilled or (c) by the Mortgage Loan Seller, if the conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligation to close set forth under Section 10(b) hereof are not fulfilled as and when required to be fulfilled.

“Market Quotation” means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions, and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of one or more Firm Offers from Reference Market-makers that are Eligible Replacements. Each Firm Offer will be (1) for an amount that would be paid to Party B (expressed as a negative number) or by Party B (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between Party B and such Reference Market-maker to enter into a Replacement Transaction, and (2) made on the basis that Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date are to be included. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker that is an Eligible Replacement to provide its Firm Offer to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the designation of the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which those Firm Offers are to be provided (the “bid time”) will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If at least one Firm Offer from an Approved Replacement (which, if accepted, would determine the Market Quotation) is provided at the bid time, the Market Quotation will be the Firm Offer (among such Firm Offers as specified in clause (C) below) actually accepted by Party B no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Early Termination Date. If no Firm Offer from an Approved Replacement (which, if accepted, would determine the Market Quotation) is provided at the bid time, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions cannot be determined.

(C)

If more than one Firm Offer from an Approved Replacement (which, if accepted, would determine the Market Quotation) is provided at the bid time, Party B shall use best efforts to accept the Firm Offer (among such Firm Offers) which would require either (x) the lowest payment by Party B to the Reference Market-maker, to the extent Party B would be required to make a payment to the Reference Market-maker or (y) the highest payment from the Reference Market-maker to Party B, to the extent the Reference Market-maker would be required to make a payment to Party B. If only one Firm Offer from an Approved Replacement (which, if accepted, would determine the Market Quotation) is provided at the bid time, Party B shall use best efforts to accept such Firm Offer.

(D)

If Party B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations, Party A shall use its reasonable efforts to do so.

(E)

If the Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, (I) Party B shall pay to Party A an amount equal to the absolute value of the Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, (II) Party B shall pay to Party A the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (III) Party A shall pay to Party B the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party B; provided, however, that (x) the amounts payable under the immediately preceding clauses (II) and (III) shall be subject to netting in accordance with Section 2(c) of this Agreement and (y) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any amount payable by Party A under the immediately preceding clause (III) shall not be netted-off against any amount payable by Party B under the immediately preceding clause (I).”

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Definitions

Primary Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact

Master Servicer - aggregator of pool assets

Securities Administrator - waterfall calculator

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

Custodian - safe keeper of pool assets

Trustee - fiduciary of the transaction

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

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

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices (giving due consideration to the Owner's reliance on the Servicer), and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and shall exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in compliance with the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide, which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, and title insurance, management of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Loan Documents, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Mae Guide, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Owner and the Servicer. The Owner shall, upon reasonable request, deliver powers-of-attorney to the Servicer sufficient to allow the Servicer as servicer to execute all documentation requiring execution on behalf of Owner with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including satisfactions, partial releases, modifications and foreclosure documentation or, in the alternative, shall as promptly as reasonably possible, execute and return such documentation to the Servicer.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Owner, provided, however, that unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the Owner and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04 and Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

The Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may, with the Owner's prior written approval, cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. Any such subservicer that the Owner shall be requested to consent to must be a Xxxxxx Xxx approved seller/servicer or a Xxxxxxx Mac seller/servicer in good standing and no event shall have occurred, including but not limited to, a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx or for seller/servicers by Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would require notification to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.

At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange, with the Owner's prior written approval, for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01, and if requested to do so by the Owner, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each subservicer from the Servicer's own funds without reimbursement from the Owner.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Owner and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Owner shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Owner to pay such subservicer's fees and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.

Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the Effective Date until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed with reasonable diligence to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take reasonable care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account and the requirements of the Xxxxxx Mae Guide, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Owner, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Servicer shall notify the Owner in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions as Servicing Advances; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in a Custodial Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Owner (with any income earned thereon for the benefit of the Servicer). Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account, as appropriate, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.

The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Custodial Account or Accounts no later than the second Business Day after receipt of funds and retain therein the following payments and collections:

(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-off Date;

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate received after the Cut-off Date;

(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds and REO Disposition Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date;

(iv) any net amounts received by the Servicer after the Cut-off Date in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13;

(v) all Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08 and 4.10, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vi) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property received after the Cut-off Date other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vii) any Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;

(viii) any amounts received after the Cut-off Date and required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to 6.02; and

(ix) with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment received after the Cut-off date, any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Servicer’s aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Due Period.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the Qualified Depository shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv).

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unreimbursed Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date related to such Mortgage Loan;

(iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date) and (b) any payable Servicing Fee;

(v) to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances:

(vi) to transfer funds to another Qualified Depository in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof;

(vii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account in error by the Servicer; and

(viii) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. Each Escrow Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in an Escrow Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in an Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Escrow Account, as appropriate, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement therefor.

The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and in the Escrow Account or Accounts no later than the second Business Day after receipt of funds and retain therein:

(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any items as are required under the terms of this Agreement;

(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and

(iii) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements.

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from an Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth in and in accordance with Section 4.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account by the Qualified Depository other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer only:

(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items;

(ii) to reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;

(iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in connection with an acquisition of REO Property;

(v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;

(vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;

(vii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06;

(viii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in an Escrow Account in error by the Servicer; and

(ix) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in an Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be maintained until the ratio of the current outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property, based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a Qualified Appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the Servicing File, is reduced to 80.00% or less. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. The Servicer shall notify the Owner of any such transfer within 15 Business Days of transfer.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans, other than pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating in Best's Key Rating Guide currently acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section 4.11 Adjustments to Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment.

On each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate shall be adjusted, in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note, to equal the sum of the Index plus the Margin (rounded in accordance with the related Mortgage Note) subject to the applicable Periodic Rate Cap and Lifetime Rate Cap, as set forth in the Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and applicable laws and regulations regarding interest rate adjustments.

Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide. The Servicer shall, upon request of Owner, deliver to the Owner a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Owner. The Servicer shall notify the Owner within five Business Days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Owner and its successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.

Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Owner or its designee. Any such Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Owner.

The Servicer shall notify the Owner in accordance with prudent servicing practices of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Owner relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The REO Property must be sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date of acquisition, unless a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held and (i) the Owner shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the related trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer’s expense) or the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable period. If a period longer than three years is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Owner, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Servicer as mortgagee, and such purchase money mortgage shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement, but instead a separate participation agreement between the Servicer and Owner shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage.

The Servicer shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Servicer shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a 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.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no Mortgaged Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the related trust or sold in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as “foreclosure property” within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject the related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income taxes on “net income from foreclosure property” with respect to such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, or (iii) cause the sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in the receipt by the related trust or any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a) (2)(B) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the related trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner. The REO Disposition Proceeds from the sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related Servicing Advances, or Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 5.03.

The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as may be required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause the inspector to make a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Owner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.13, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Owner, at its option, shall be entitled to manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for its own benefit (such option, an "REO Option"). In connection with the exercise of an REO Option, the prior two paragraphs and the related provisions of Section 4.03 and Section 4.04(iii) (such provisions, the “REO Marketing Provisions”) shall be revised as follows. Following the acquisition of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall submit a detailed invoice to the Owner for all related Servicing Advances and, upon exercising the REO Option, the Owner shall promptly reimburse the Servicer for such amounts. In the event the REO Option is exercised with respect to an REO Property, Section 4.04 (iii) shall not be applicable thereto. References made in Section 4.03 with respect to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall, for purposes of such REO Property, be deemed to be covered by this paragraph. The Owner acknowledges that, in the event it exercises an REO Option, with respect to the related REO Property, there shall be no breach by the Servicer based upon or arising out of the Servicer's failure to comply with the REO Marketing Provisions.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENTS TO THE OWNER

Section 5.01 Remittances.

On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the related preceding Determination Date, except (a) Partial Principal Prepayments received on or after the first day of the month in which the Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the next following Remittance Date, (b) Full Principal Prepayments received on or before the 15^th day of the month in which a Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the Remittance Date of such month, and (c) Full Principal Prepayments received after the 15^th day of the month shall be remitted to the Owner on the next following Remittance Date, each net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, plus, to the extent not already deposited in the Custodial Account, the sum of (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03 and (iii) all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls the Servicer is required to make up pursuant to Section 4.04, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected after the Cut-off Date but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the last day of the related Due Period, which amounts shall be remitted on the related Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.

With respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding related Remittance Date. 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.

Section 5.02 Statements to the Owner.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner an individual Mortgage Loan accounting report (a “Report”), as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Servicer's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, such Report shall be received by the Owner (i) no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month of the related Remittance Date on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format, in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both the Owner and the Servicer, and (ii) no later than the tenth Business Day of the following month of the related Remittance Date in hard copy, which Report shall contain the following:

(i)	with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest

(ii)	the amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicer during the prior distribution period;

(iii)

the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans;

(iv)	the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent (1) 30 to 59 days, (2) 60 to 89 days, (3) 90 days or more; (b) as to which foreclosure has commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been acquired; and

(v)	such other reports as may reasonably be required by the Owner.

The Servicer shall also provide a trial balance, sorted in the Owner's assigned loan number order, and such other loan level scheduled-scheduled remittance information as described on Exhibit E, in electronic tape form, with each such Report.

The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Owner pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Owner to prepare its federal income tax return as the Owner may reasonably request from time to time.

In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was an Owner at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances of principal and interest for the applicable portion of such year.

Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by the Servicer.

Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the amount of any such deposit may be reduced by (i) the Amount Held for Future Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account, plus (ii) with respect to the initial Remittance Date, the Non-held Early Pay Amount (as defined below). Any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit into the Custodial Account on any future Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Owner on such Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the Owner on such Remittance Date.

The “Amount Held for Future Distribution” as to any Remittance Date shall be the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the close of business on the preceding Determination Date which were received after the Cut-off Date on account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and Partial Principal Prepayments received or made in the month of such Remittance Date, (ii) Full Principal Payments received after the 15^th day of the month in the month of such Remittance Date, and (iii) payments which represent early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent to the related Due Date. The "Non-held Early Pay Amount" shall be the total of the amounts on account of payments which represent early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest received on or prior to the Cut-off Date.

The Servicer's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. In such latter event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Servicing File and has obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.

Section 5.04 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Owner pursuant to a deed-in--lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Owner a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in such form as the Servicer and the Owner shall agree. The Servicer shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Owner may reasonably require.

The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of a Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of, sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicer, with the approval of the Owner (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Xxxxxx Mae Guide. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the Monthly Payment may not be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such related mortgage file to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 6.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian with a certification and request for release by a Servicing Officer, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been so deposited, and a request for delivery to the Servicer of the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian, and unless the related Mortgage Loans are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, such request is to be acknowledged by the Owner. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Owner shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer and the Servicer shall prepare and deliver for execution by the Owner or at the Owner's option execute under the authority of a power of attorney delivered to the Servicer by the Owner any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within two Business Days to the Owner the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer (and unless the related Mortgage Loans are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, acknowledged by the Owner), the Custodian shall release the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to promptly return the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or such documents have 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 Servicer has promptly delivered to the Owner or the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable, to the Servicer.

Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Servicer's Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges and other ancillary fees shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer will deliver to the Owner not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this 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 officers and the nature and status thereof except for such defaults as such Officers in their good faith judgment believe to be immaterial.

Section 6.05 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

Not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, 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 Owner to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Servicer's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in accordance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer's servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, 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.

Section 6.06 Owner's Right to Examine Servicer Records.

The Owner shall have the right to examine and audit, at its expense, upon reasonable notice to the Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relate to the performance or observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall provide to the Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Owner, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer, and in accordance with the applicable federal government agency, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations.

Section 6.07 Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) 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 “contribution” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such actions) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

Section 6.08 Non-solicitation.

The Servicer shall not knowingly conduct any solicitation exclusively targeted to the Mortgagors for the purpose of inducing or encouraging the early prepayment or refinancing of the related Mortgage Loans. It is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any agent or affiliate of the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this section. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Servicer from (i) distributing to Mortgagors any general advertising including information brochures, coupon books, or other similar documentation which indicates services the Seller offers, including refinances or (ii) providing financing of home equity loans to Mortgagors at the Mortgagor’s request.

ARTICLE VII

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER

Section 7.01 Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner upon request, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement. The Servicer may negotiate with the Owner for a reasonable fee for providing such report or information, unless (i) the Servicer is required to supply such report or information pursuant to any other section of this Agreement, or (ii) the report or information has been requested in connection with Internal Revenue Service, OTS, FDIC or other regulatory agency requirements. All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions given by the Owner. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Owner, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

THE SERVICER

Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Owner and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Owner may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform in any way its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for breach of any representation or warranty of the Servicer contained herein. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Owner if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Owner and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Owner) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Owner in respect of such claim but failure to so notify the Owner shall not limit its obligations hereunder. The Servicer agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Owner unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Owner from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement. In no event will either Purchaser or Seller be liable to the other party to this Agreement for incidental or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profit or loss of business or business opportunity, regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort or otherwise.

Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

The Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, SAIF and/or BIF, or which is a HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and (iii) which is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.

Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Owner for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform in any way its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Owner respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Owner will be liable, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Owner upon written demand.

Section 8.04 Servicer Not to Resign.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

Section 8.05 No Transfer of Servicing.

With respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Owner has acted in reliance upon the Servicer's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Servicer may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of Owner to an affiliate of the Servicer to which all servicing of the Servicer is assigned so long as (i) such affiliate is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved servicer and (ii) if it is intended that such affiliate be spun off to the shareholders of the Servicer, such affiliate have a GAAP net worth of at least $10,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Owner a certification pursuant to which such affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall certify that such affiliate is a Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac approved servicer in good standing.

ARTICLE IX

DEFAULT

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of three (3) Business Days after written notice thereof (it being understood that this subparagraph shall not affect Servicer's obligation pursuant to Section 5.01 to pay default interest on any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which such payment was due); or

(ii) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of sixty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner; or

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

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

(v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi) the Servicer ceases to be approved by either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac (to the extent such entities are then operating in a capacity similar to that in which they operate on the Closing Date) as a mortgage loan servicer for more than thirty days to the extent such entities perform similar functions; or

(vii) the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and 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, at the Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Owner may waive only by written notice any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been 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 in writing.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

Section 10.01 Termination.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer shall terminate upon: (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all REO Property and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner in writing; or (iii) termination by the Owner pursuant to Section 9.01. Simultaneously with any such termination and the transfer of servicing hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any outstanding Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances.

Section 10.02 Removal of Mortgage Loans from Inclusion under this Agreement upon a Whole Loan Transfer or a Pass-Through Transfer.

The Servicer acknowledges and the Owner agrees that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, the Owner may effect either (1) one or more Whole Loan Transfers, or (2) one or more Pass-Through Transfers.

The Servicer shall cooperate with the Owner in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer contemplated by the Owner pursuant to this Section. In connection therewith, and without limitation, the Owner shall deliver any reconstitution agreement or other document related to the Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer to the Servicer at least 15 days prior to such transfer (or 30 days if such transfer is to take place in March, June, September or December) and the Servicer shall execute any such reconstitution agreement which contains provisions substantially similar to those herein or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Owner and the Servicer and which restates the representations and warranties contained in Article III as of the date of transfer (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is not accurate on such date).

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer or Pass--Through Transfer, as the case may be, effected by the Owner, Owner (i) shall reimburse Servicer for all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses related thereto and (ii) shall pay Servicer a reasonable amount representing time and effort expended by Servicer related thereto (which amount shall be reasonably agreed upon by Servicer and Owner prior to the expenditure of such time and effort); provided, however, that for each Whole Loan Transfer and/or Pass--Through Transfer, the sum of such amounts described in subsections (i) and (ii) above shall in no event exceed $5,000. For purposes of this paragraph, all Whole Loan Transfers and/or Pass--Through Transfers made to the same entity within the same accounting cycle shall be considered one Whole Loan Transfer or Pass--Through Transfer.

All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer or Pass-Through Transfer shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01 Successor to the Servicer.

Prior to termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01(ii), the Owner shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Owner and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Article III and the remedies available to the Owner under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Article III and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Servicing Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds. The Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. The successor shall make such arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Servicer for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the Owner of such appointment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and the Owner by written agreement signed by the Servicer and the Owner.

In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was an Owner at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year.

10. Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting Section 6.04 in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance; Annual Certification.

(a) The Servicer will deliver to the Owner and any Master Servicer, using its best efforts to deliver on March 1, but in no event later than March 15, of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate acceptable to the Owner (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use.

(b) With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, using its best efforts to deliver on March 1, but in no event later than March 15, of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Certification”) to the Owner, any Master Servicer and any related Depositor for the benefit of each such entity and such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such entity and such entity’s affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

In the event that the Servicer fails to timely comply with this Section 6.04 after the cure period set forth herein, commencing on March 15th of the related year, the Owner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written or verbal statements or assurances from the Commission, by March 30th of the related year (or such extension of time granted by the Commission so that it can review the facts surrounding any requests made by the Owner) that such failure to provide the required Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report on a timely basis, and a one time additional failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 6.04, will not result in any adverse effect on the Owner or its affiliates with respect to any Shelf Registration on Form S-3 of the Owner or any of its affiliates. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Owner in obtaining such statement or assurances from the Commission shall be reimbursed to the Owner by the Servicer. In the event that the Owner is unable to receive any such assurances from the Commission after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts by March 30th (or any extension period granted by the Commission) of the related year, such failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 6.04 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically at such time, without notice and without any cure period, and Owner may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01 . Such termination shall be considered with cause pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Failure to provide the Annual Statement of Compliance or Annual Certification will be treated as a failure of the Servicer to perform its duties under the Agreement and will be subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, of the Agreement. This indemnification is understood by the parties hereto to cover any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection with its performance hereunder. For any indemnification from the Servicer to any Master Servicer, the Servicer in no event will be liable for punitive or consequential damages, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise.

If the indemnification provided for therein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Owner, each affiliate of the Owner, and each of the following parties participating in a Pass-Through Transfer: each sponsor and issuing entity; each Person (including, but not limited to, any Master Servicer, if applicable) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified Party”), then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.

In the case of any failure of performance described above, the Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

11. Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting Section 6.05 in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Section 6.05 [Reserved].

12. Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following new Section 6.09:

Section 6.09 Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria.

On and after January 1, 2006, the Servicer shall service and administer, and shall cause each subservicer to servicer or administer, the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria.

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to deliver to the Owner or its designee, any Master Servicer and any Depositor on March 1, but in no event later than March 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2007 a report (an “Assessment of Compliance”) reasonably satisfactory to the Owner, any Master Servicer and any Depositor regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer. Such report shall be addressed to the Owner and such Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto delivered to the Owner concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.

With respect to any Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to deliver to the Owner or its designee, any Master Servicer and any Depositor on March 1, but in no event later than March 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2007 a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB or as otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Servicer Accounting Oversight Board.

The Servicer shall cause each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer pursuant to Section 11.19 to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Owner, any Master Servicer and any Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in Sections 6.09. Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto delivered to the Owner concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or, in the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such appointment.

In the event that the Servicer fails to timely comply with this Section 6.09 after the cure period set forth herein, commencing on March 15th of the related year, the Owner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written or verbal statements or assurances from the Commission, by March 30th of the related year (or such extension of time granted by the Commission so that it can review the facts surrounding any requests made by the Owner) that such failure to provide the required Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report on a timely basis, and a one time additional failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 6.09, will not result in any adverse effect on the Owner or its affiliates with respect to any Shelf Registration on Form S-3 of the Owner or any of its affiliates. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Owner in obtaining such statement or assurances from the Commission shall be reimbursed to the Owner by the Servicer. In the event that the Owner is unable to receive any such assurances from the Commission after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts by March 30th (or any extension period granted by the Commission) of the related year, such failure by the Servicer to comply with this Section 6.09 shall be deemed an Event of Default, automatically at such time, without notice and without any cure period, and Owner may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same, as provided in Section 9.01 . Such termination shall be considered with cause pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Failure to provide the Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report will be treated as a failure of the Servicer to perform its duties under the Agreement and will be subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, of the Agreement. This indemnification is understood by the parties hereto to cover any gross negligence bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection with its performance hereunder. For any indemnification from the Servicer to any Master Servicer, the Servicer in no event will be liable for punitive or consequential damages, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

13. Article VI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following new Section 6.10:

Section 6.10 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Owner and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that a purpose of Section 3.01(m), 4.14, Sections 5.02, 6.04, 6.09 and 10.02 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. None of the Owner, any Master Servicer or any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Owner or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to provide information that the Owner deems required under Regulation AB if (i) the Servicer does not reasonably believe that such information is required under Regulation AB and (ii) the Servicer is not providing such information for its own securitizations unless the Owner pays all reasonable costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with the preparation and delivery of such information and the Servicer is given reasonable time to establish the necessary systems and procedures to produce such information; provided, however, that the costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with establishing the necessary systems and procedures will be split pro rata with any other purchaser that makes a request for similar information.

14. Article IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by deleting the first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 9.01 and replacing it with the following (new text underlined):

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer (or as otherwise stated herein, in which case, automatically and without notice) may, in addition to whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01, subject to the limitation expressed therein, and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and 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, at the Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

15. Article IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by adding the following at the end of the last paragraph of Section 9.01:

The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner, such as a Master Servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Owner or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

16. Article X of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by restating Section 10.02 in its entirety as follows:
