As of the Closing Date, in consideration of the Issuer's delivery of the Notes and the Residual Certificate to the Depositor or its designee, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse, subject to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 3.03 and 3.04, in trust, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans. Such conveyance includes, without limitation, the right to all payments of principal and interest received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on and after the Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on or before such date), and all such payments due after such date but received prior to such date and intended by the related Mortgagors to be applied after such date together with all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collection Account, the Note Account, the Certificate Account, any Custodial Account and any Escrow Account and all amounts from time to time credited to and the proceeds of the Collection Account, the Note Account, the Certificate Account, any Custodial Account and any Escrow Account, any REO Property, the Depositor’s rights under any Insurance Policies related to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor’s security interest in any collateral pledged to secure the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgaged Properties and any Additional Collateral, and any proceeds of the foregoing, to have and to hold, in trust; and the Indenture Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in Section 2.02, it has received and shall hold the Trust Estate, as Indenture Trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Securityholders and for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, concurrently with such receipt, the Issuer has issued and delivered the Securities to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Estate.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby assign to the Issuer all of its rights and interest under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and delegates its obligations thereunder. The Issuer hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor. Upon the issuance of the Securities, ownership in the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Issuer, subject to the lien created by the Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Securityholders. The Issuer hereby accepts such assignment and delegation, and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor.

It is agreed and understood by the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee (and the Depositor has so represented and recognized in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement) that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust Estate be either (i) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003 or (ii) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 20[__].

The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Indenture Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor hereby directs the Indenture Trustee, solely in its capacity as Indenture Trustee hereunder, to execute and deliver, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Cap Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to enter into any other interest rate cap agreement upon the expiration or termination of the Cap Agreement.

(b)

(vii)

with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the original mortgagee title insurance policy (or, in lieu thereof, a commitment to issue such title insurance policy, with an original or certified copy of such title insurance policy to follow as soon after the Closing Date as reasonable practicable) or attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title;

(viii)

the original primary mortgage insurance policy or certificate, or an electronic certification evidencing the existence of the primary mortgage insurance policy certificate, if private mortgage guaranty insurance is required;

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the form of endorsement attached hereto as Exhibit A-4 is intended to effect the transfer to the Indenture Trustee as pledgee of the Issuer, for the benefit of the Securityholders, of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages.

(c)

(i) Assignments of Mortgage with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan shall be recorded; provided, however, that such Assignments need not be recorded if, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor delivers an Opinion of Counsel (which must be Independent counsel) acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, to the effect that recording in such states is not required to protect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the related Non-MERS Mortgage Loans; provided, further, that notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to submit each Assignment of Mortgage for recording upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable recording office), the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause to be properly recorded by each Servicer in each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in subsection (b)(v) above with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan.

(ii)

With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor, to take such actions as are necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.

(d)

In instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee under clause (b)(vii) above and is not so delivered, the Depositor will provide a copy of such Title Insurance Policy to the Indenture Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, as promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, but in any case within 180 days of the Closing Date.

(e)

For Mortgage Loans (if any) that 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, herewith delivers to the Indenture Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.07(d) have been so deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall be held by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders.

Section 2.02

Acceptance of Trust Estate; Review of Documentation.

(a)

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, acknowledges receipt of the assets transferred by the Depositor of the assets included in the Trust Estate and has directed that the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or the Custodian) on its behalf.

The Indenture Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by the applicable Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Indenture Trustee, or by the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, under this Section 2.02. The Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-1 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit A-1, as applicable).

(b)

Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, will, for the benefit of Securityholders, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-2 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit A-2, as applicable) to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(c) are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall determine whether such documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any applicable Custodian shall have any responsibility for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.

(c)

If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, as applicable (each, a “Material Defect”), the Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, discovering such Material Defect shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification delivered to the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Within 90 days of its receipt of such notice, the Transferor, or if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Depositor shall provide the Indenture Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such cure has been effected). If the applicable Transferor or the Depositor, as applicable, does not so cure such Material Defect, the Transferor, or if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor shall, if a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan were not purchased from the Trust Estate, constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure such Material Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate at the Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon mutual agreement with the Indenture Trustee each acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. Within the two-year period following the Closing Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 3.04. The failure of the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian to give the notice contemplated herein within 45 days after the Closing Date shall not affect or relieve the Depositor of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Estate.

(d)

Within 180 days following the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian, shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A-3 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit A-3, as applicable) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.

(e)

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee, any Custodian or the Noteholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the applicable Custodian shall perform the applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof as provided in this Section 2.02 and the Custodial Agreement. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and directed by the Depositor to appoint each such Custodian and to execute and deliver each of the Custodial Agreements and to execute and deliver Transaction Addendum No. [___] to the Master Consulting Agreement with the Credit Risk Manager.

(g)

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee acknowledges a receipt of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, each Servicing Agreement and each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy.

Section 2.03

Grant Clause.

(a)

It is intended that the conveyance by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans, as provided for in Section 2.01 be construed as a sale by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate for the benefit of the Securityholders. Further, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Issuer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate, then it is intended that (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC (or the Relevant UCC if not the New York UCC); (b) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and (C) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all Liquidation Proceeds, all Insurance Proceeds, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account, the Certificate Account, the Note Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Issuer of any security interest in any and all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (C); (c) the possession by the Indenture Trustee or any other agent of the Issuer 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,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and any other Relevant UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); 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 Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

(b)

The Depositor and, at the Depositor’s direction, the Issuer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust Estate, 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 this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Issuer’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuer (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Owner Trustee, if occasioned by a change in the Owner Trustee’s name), (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor or (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan.

Neither the Depositor nor the Issuer shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee. Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuer proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Indenture Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture, each of the Depositor and the Issuer authorizes its immediate or intermediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee, to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this Section 2.03(b).

(c)

The Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the sale by the Depositor of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Estate and shall indicate or shall cause to be indicated in its records and records held on its behalf that ownership of each Mortgage Loan and the other property of the Issuer is held by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer. In addition, the Depositor shall respond to any inquiries from third parties with respect to ownership of a Mortgage Loan or any other property of the Trust Estate by stating that it is not the owner of such Mortgage Loan and that ownership of such Mortgage Loan or other property of the Trust Estate is held by the Issuer on behalf of the Securityholders.

the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date hereof;

(iv)

this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Credit Risk Manager, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally and (B) general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(v)

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

(vi)

immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, the Depositor was the sole owner of record and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and the Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer and sell each Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer free and clear, subject only to (1) liens of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges permitted by statute, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred to in the lender’s Title Insurance Policy or attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title delivered to the originator of such Mortgage Loan, and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

The representations and warranties of each Transferor with respect to the related Mortgage Loans in the applicable Transfer Agreement, which have been assigned to the Issuer hereunder, were made as of the date specified in the applicable Transfer Agreement (or underlying agreement, if such Transfer Agreement is in the form of an assignment of a prior agreement). To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the applicable Transferor under the applicable Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 1.04(b) (xiii), (xiv) and (xv) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement which shall be deemed to be made solely by the Seller), the only right or remedy of the Master Servicer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Securityholder hereunder shall be their rights to enforce the obligations of the applicable Transferor under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. Each of the Master Servicer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee acknowledges that, except as provided in the parenthetical in the immediately preceding sentence or as otherwise provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the Seller shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold by it if the fact, condition or event constituting such breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty made by the applicable Transferor in the applicable Transfer Agreement, without regard to whether such Transferor fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such representation or warranty. Each of the Master Servicer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section 3.01(a)(vi)) under any circumstances.

(c)

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties of the Depositor set forth in Sections 3.01(i) through (vi) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Depositor shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer and hold each of the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer harmless against any loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Depositor’s representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.01(a)(i) through (vi) hereof.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits).

Section 3.03

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) set forth in Section 3.01, (ii) of the Seller set forth in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Issuer by the Depositor hereunder and (iii) of each Transferor and of each Servicer assigned by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the Issuer by the Depositor hereunder, shall be pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of such representations and warranties that adversely and materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty given to the Issuer by the Depositor or given by any Transferor or the Seller and assigned to the Indenture Trustee, such Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Issuer at the Purchase Price (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which there is a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section [___] of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, at the purchase price therefor paid by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement) or (c) with respect to the Mortgage Loans, within the two-year period following the Closing Date, substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement or by the Transferor pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement, the principal portion of the funds received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and the Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account. The Indenture Trustee upon receipt of (i) the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, (ii) a written certification from the Master Servicer that it has received the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan and has deposited such amount in the Collection Account or (iii) notification from the related Custodian that it had received the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), shall release or cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement and the Indenture, which instruments shall be prepared by the related Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders, the Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of each Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any Servicing Agreement or any Credit Risk Management Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to enforce any Credit Risk Management Agreement or to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of any Servicer under its applicable Credit Risk Management Agreement with respect to any action taken or not taken by a Servicer at the direction of the Seller or pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager.

Section 4.02

Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. (a) The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and the Master Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and amount that would be consistent with coverage customarily maintained by master servicers of mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee. The Master Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, upon request, with a copy of such policy and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall (i) require each Servicer to maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Servicer Fidelity Bond in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) cause each Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer any notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond received by it, as and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of such policies and of the certificates and notices referred to in clause (ii) to the Indenture Trustee upon request.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Indenture Trustee any material changes that may occur in the Master Servicer’s Fidelity Bond or the Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee, on request, certificates evidencing that such bond and insurance policy are in full force and effect. The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Indenture Trustee all cases of embezzlement or fraud, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage Loans. The total losses, regardless of whether claims are filed with the applicable insurer or surety, shall be disclosed in such reports together with the amount of such losses covered by insurance. If a bond or insurance claim report is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Master Servicer shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to the Indenture Trustee. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the Master Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the applicable Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be remitted to the Master Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.03

Master Servicer’s Financial Statements and Related Information. For each year this Agreement is in effect, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor a copy of its annual unaudited financial statements on or prior to March 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 20[__]. Such financial statements shall include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of additional paid-in capital, statement of changes in financial position and all related notes and schedules and shall be in comparative form, certified by a nationally recognized firm of Independent Accountants to the effect that such statements were examined and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Section 4.04

Power to Act; Procedures. (a) The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and each Servicer shall have full power and authority (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the 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 Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Issuer or the Securityholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders under this Agreement and the Indenture. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Issuer and the Securityholders in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Servicer, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated to such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee when the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Securityholders, the Indenture Trustee 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 Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents as the Master Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, and to allow each Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (and the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee or that the Indenture Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Indenture. In no event shall the Master Servicer, without the Indenture Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Indenture Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Indenture Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer. 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 Indenture Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Indenture Trustee.

(b)

In master servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall employ procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in master servicing and administering loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, and may permit any Servicer to, in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that the maturity of any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any extension described in clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make or cause such Servicer (if required by the applicable Servicing Agreement) to make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.09 on the basis of the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such extension.

Section 4.05

Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations. (a) Each Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer, respectively, to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Any fees and other amounts payable to a Servicer shall be deducted from amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by such Servicer (to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement) and shall not be an obligation of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action with respect to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan that the related Servicer is not required to take under the related Servicing Agreement and (ii) cause a Servicer to take any action or refrain from taking any action if the related Servicing Agreement does not require such Servicer to take such action or refrain from taking such action; in both cases notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement that requires the Master Servicer to take such action or cause such Servicer to take such action.

(c)

The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance therewith, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the other parties hereto to enter into a Servicing Agreement (and such parties hereby agree to execute and deliver any such successor Servicing Agreement), with a successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, and then, (iii) to the extent that such amounts are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of such enforcement, from the Collection Account.

(d)

The Master Servicer shall be entitled conclusively to rely on any certifications or other information provided by the Servicers under the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, in its preparation of any certifications, filings or reports, in accordance with the terms hereof or as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

Section 4.06

Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items. (a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which the Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments, water rates, standard hazard insurance policy premiums, Payaheads, if applicable, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer. The Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, Standard Hazard Insurance Policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to pay such items), provided that it or the applicable Servicer has determined that the funds so advanced are recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.08 or otherwise.

(b)

Costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the terms of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the payments to be made to Securityholders. Such costs, to the extent that they are unanticipated, extraordinary costs, and not ordinary or routine costs shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08.

Section 4.07

Collection Account. (a) On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open and shall thereafter maintain a segregated account held in trust in the name of the Securities Intermediary (the “Collection Account”), entitled “Collection Account, [__________________], as indenture trustee, in trust for Holders of the SASCO Mortgage Loan Trust 20[__]-[__], Mortgage Backed Notes, Series 20[__]-[__].” The Collection Account shall relate solely to the Securities issued by the Issuer, and funds in such Collection Account shall not be commingled with any other monies.

(b)

The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If an existing Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within 10 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Collection Account into such new Collection Account.

(c)

The Master Servicer shall give to the Indenture Trustee prior written notice of the name and address of the depository institution at which the Collection Account is maintained and the account number of such Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the depository institution holding the Collection Account to hold such account in the name of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. On each Deposit Date, the entire amount on deposit in the Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans (subject to permitted withdrawals set forth in Section 4.08), other than amounts not included in the Total Payment Amount for such Payment Date, shall be remitted to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account by wire transfer in immediately available funds. The Master Servicer, at its option, may choose to make daily remittances from the Collection Account to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account.

(d)

The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account, no later than the Business Day following the Closing Date, any amounts received with respect to the Mortgage Loans representing Scheduled Payments (or in the case of Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, representing scheduled interest payments and actual principal payments) on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date and unscheduled payments received on or after the Cut-off Date and on or before the Closing Date. Thereafter, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on the earlier of the applicable Deposit Date and one Business Day following receipt thereof, the following amounts received or payments made by it (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):

(vii)

the Purchase Price of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor, the Seller, a Transferor, the Master Servicer or any other Person and any Substitution Amount related to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan; and

(viii)

Prepayment Premiums.

The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds into the Collection Account (to the extent not already received from the related Servicer), without right of reimbursement, except from Net Simple Interest Excess, an amount equal to any Net Simple Interest Shortfall (to the extent not offset by Net Simple Interest Excess) for the related Collection Period.

(e)

Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments selected by and at the written direction of the Master Servicer, which shall mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next Deposit Date and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders. All income and gain realized from any Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time, subject to Section 5.10, hereof and shall not be part of the Trust Estate. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such Collection Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other incidental fees and charges relating to the Mortgage Loans need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Collection Account.

Section 4.08

Application of Funds in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(i)

to reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances or Servicing Advances made by it or by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.09 or the applicable Servicing Agreement; such right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) is limited to amounts received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage) which represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which any such Advance was made, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders;

(ii)

to reimburse itself or any Servicer, following a final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan (except as otherwise provided in the related Servicing Agreement) for any previously unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances made by it or by such Servicer (A) that it determines in good faith will not be recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of payments of principal or interest respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Advance or Servicing Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan and/or (B) to the extent that such unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances exceed the related Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, it being understood, in the case of each such reimbursement, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders;

(iii)

to reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Section 4.23(a) or the applicable Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee Rate for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess the amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan and to retain any excess remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders;

(v)

to reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it or any Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.04, 4.05(b), 4.10(a) or 4.39; provided, however, that any amounts in excess of the annual cap described in clause (b) of the definition of “Interest Remittance Amount” in any Anniversary Year, other than costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10(a), in connection with any transfer of servicing, shall be included in the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to clause (viii) below and the Master Servicer’s reimbursement for such excess amounts shall be made pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof;

(vi)

to pay to the Depositor, the Seller or any Transferor, as applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not distributed on the date on which the related repurchase was effected, and to pay to the applicable Person any Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent specified in the definition of Purchase Price;

(vii)

to the extent not paid by a Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, to pay any LPMI Insurance Premium;

(viii)

subject to Section 5.10, to pay to itself income earned on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account;

(ix)

on each Deposit Date, to make payment to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.07(c) for the related Payment Date (to the extent collected by the Servicers or the Master Servicer);

(x)

on each Deposit Date, to make payment to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account, all Prepayment Premiums received during the immediately preceding Prepayment Period;

(xi)

(xv)

to reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to such Servicer, to the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement.

In connection with withdrawals made pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv), (vi) and (vii) above, the Master Servicer’s, any Servicer’s or such other Person’s entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan it master services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal made from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to such subclause (i), (iii), (iv), (vi) and (vii).

The Indenture Trustee’s website can be accessed at xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/xxx. Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Indenture Trustee’s customer service desk at [____________]. Such parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by notifying the Indenture Trustee at [_________________], Attention: Structured Finance—SASCO 20[__]-[__], and indicating such. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Indenture Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes.

The foregoing information and reports shall be prepared and determined by the Indenture Trustee based solely on Mortgage Loan data provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Master Servicer (in a format agreed to by the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer) no later than 12:00 p.m.(noon) Eastern Standard Time four Business Days prior to the Payment Date. In preparing or furnishing the foregoing information to the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the information or data regarding the Mortgage Loans and the related REO Property that has been provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to verify, recompute, reconcile or recalculate any such information or data. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Mortgage Loan data provided by the Master Servicer and shall have no liability for any errors in such Mortgage Loan data.

(b)

Upon the reasonable advance written request of any Securityholder that is a savings and loan, bank or insurance company, which request, if received by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall provide, or cause to be provided (or, to the extent that such information or documentation is not required to be provided by a Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such information and documentation from such Servicer, and provide), to such Securityholder such reports and access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans as such Securityholder may reasonably deem necessary to comply with applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or its successor or other regulatory authorities with respect to an investment in the Securities; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Securityholder for the Indenture Trustee actual expenses incurred in providing such reports and access.

(c)

Within 90 days, or such shorter period as may be required by statute or regulation, after the end of each calendar year, the Indenture Trustee shall have prepared and shall make available to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Securityholder of record, and make available to Security Owners (identified as such by the Clearing Agency) in accordance with applicable regulations, a report summarizing the items provided to the Securityholders pursuant to Section 4.09(a) on an annual basis as may be required to enable such Holders to prepare their federal income tax returns; provided, however, that this Section 4.09(c) shall not be applicable where relevant reports or summaries are required elsewhere in this Agreement. Such information shall include the amount of original issue discount accrued on each Class of Securities and information regarding the expenses of the Issuer furnished by the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee. The Master Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee with such information as is necessary for the Indenture Trustee to prepare such reports (and the Indenture Trustee may rely solely upon such information).

(d)

The Indenture Trustee shall furnish any other information that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available to Securityholders. The Master Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee with such information as is necessary for the Indenture Trustee to prepare such reports (and the Indenture Trustee may rely solely upon such information).

Section 4.10

Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers. (a) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

The parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Estate, if a Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer or all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

(b)

If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of a Servicer, if any, that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.

(c)

If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have the same obligations to make Advances as the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement and to reimburse the successor Servicer for unreimbursed Advances if required by the Servicing Agreement but will have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable. To the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a successor Servicer that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans for the Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the Servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable, the applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor Servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.

Section 4.11

Master Servicer Liable for Enforcement. Notwithstanding any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Servicing Agreements. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of each Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Securityholders. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Master Servicer shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of any Servicer in the performance by such Servicer of its obligations under the related Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.12

No Contractual Relationship Between Any Servicer and Indenture Trustee or Depositor. Any Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving any Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between such Servicer and the other parties thereto and the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Servicer except as set forth in Section 4.13 hereof, but shall have rights thereunder as third party beneficiaries. It is furthermore understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the obligations of any Servicer are set forth in their entirety in such Servicer’s related Servicing Agreement and such Servicer has no obligations under and is not otherwise bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 4.13

Assumption of Servicing Agreement by Indenture Trustee. (a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Indenture Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and therein to the same extent as if each Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under such Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Indenture Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indenture Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Indenture Trustee’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Indenture Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.

(b)

The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

Section 4.14

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

Section 4.15

Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon (i) becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will, or will cause the related Servicer to, promptly notify the Indenture Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) by a certification (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 Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.07 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request (on the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or on the form attached to the related Custodial Agreement) the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, to deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian (with the consent, and at the direction of the Indenture Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Master Servicer is authorized, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is provided for under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is authorized, to give, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

(b)

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Master Servicer, or by a Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, or of a Servicer, and delivery to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, of a request for release of documents and a receipt signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit B, release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer). Such receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer or Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Master Servicer or Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, as applicable, to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer).

Section 4.16

Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Indenture Trustee. (a) The Master Servicer shall transmit, or cause the applicable Servicer to transmit, to the Indenture Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof or of the applicable Servicing Agreement to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw amounts provided in this Agreement and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Indenture Trustee, their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Securityholders 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, or any 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, or by any Servicer, for and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee as the Indenture Trustee's agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Indenture Trustee's security interest therein as provided by relevant Uniform Commercial Code or laws; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall be authorized to remit such funds to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with this Agreement.

(c)

The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Indenture Trustee shall have a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files representing such Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now or hereafter held by, or under the control of, a Servicer or the Master Servicer that are collected by any Servicer or the Master Servicer in connection with the Mortgage Loans, whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest or as full or partial prepayments of principal or interest or as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or other amounts to which a Servicer is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreement, or the Master Servicer or the Depositor is entitled to hereunder); and the Master Servicer agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by the Indenture Trustee or any Custodian, all documents or instruments constituting part of the Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master Servicer or any Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer or such Servicer for and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee as the Indenture Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Indenture Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.

(d)

The Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize any Servicer to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited in any Custodial Account, Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Indenture Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.

Section 4.17

Opinion. On or before the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and Issuer one or more Opinions of Counsel, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and Xxxxxx Brothers Inc., as to the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and the enforceability thereof.

Section 4.18

Standard Hazard and Flood Insurance Policies. For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain, or cause to be maintained by each Servicer, standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable 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.

Pursuant to Section 4.07, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.18 or any Servicing Agreement (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 the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.08. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the payments to be made to Securityholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08.

Section 4.19

Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to, prepare and present on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders all claims under the Insurance Policies with respect to the 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 policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies or bonds shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account or the Custodial Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition requisite to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 4.20

Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies. (a) (a)

The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to remit, or shall remit on behalf of each Servicer, to the PMI Insurer, the applicable LPMI Insurance Premiums. The Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer (consistent with the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable primary mortgage insurance policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or such Servicer, would have been covered thereunder.

The Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby appoint [______________] as Securities Intermediary with respect to the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Account, and the Issuer has, pursuant to the Indenture, granted to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Securityholders, a security interest to secure all amounts due Securityholders hereunder in and to the Trust Accounts and the Security Entitlements to all Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts, including without limitation all amounts, securities, investments, Financial Assets, investment property and other property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Trust Accounts and all proceeds thereof, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Issuer, as collateral agent for the benefit of Certificateholders, a security interest to secure all amounts due Certificateholders hereunder in and to the Certificate Account and the Security Entitlements and all Financial Assets credited to the Certificate Account, including without limitation all amounts, securities, investments, Financial Assets, investment property and other property from time to time deposited in or credited to such account and all proceeds thereof. Amounts held from time to time in the Trust Accounts will continue to be held by the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, for the benefit of the Securityholders, and amounts held from time to time in the Certificate Account will continue to be held by the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of the Issuer, as collateral agent, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Upon the termination of the Issuer or the discharge of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall inform the Securities Intermediary of such termination. By acceptance of their Securities or interests therein, the Securityholders shall be deemed to have appointed [___________________] as Securities Intermediary. [__________________] hereby accepts such appointment as Securities Intermediary.

(b)

With respect to the Trust Account Property credited to the Trust Accounts, or the Certificate Account, the Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(ii)

the sole assets permitted in the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Account shall be those as the Securities Intermediary agrees to treat as Financial Assets; and

(iii)

any such Trust Account Property that is, or is treated as, a Financial Asset shall be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or other eligible institution maintaining any Trust Account or the Certificate Account in accordance with the Securities Intermediary’s customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary or such other institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee (or the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account) with respect thereto over which the Securities Intermediary or such other institution has Control;

(c)

The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) each Trust Account and the Certificate Account is an account to which Financial Assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to any Trust Account, and the Issuer, as collateral agent, as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to the Certificate Account, (B) all Trust Account Property in respect of any Trust Account or the Certificate Account will be promptly credited by the Securities Intermediary to such account, and (C) all securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Trust Account or the Certificate Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case (x) will any Financial Asset credited to any Trust Account be registered in the name of the Depositor or the Issuer, payable to the order of the Depositor or the Issuer or specially endorsed to the Depositor or the Issuer, or (y) will any Financial Asset credited to the Certificate Account be registered in the name of the Depositor, payable to the order of the Depositor or specially endorsed to the Depositor, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank;

(d)

The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to any Trust Account or the Certificate Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;

(e)

If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement Order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Depositor, the Issuer or any other Person. If at any time the Indenture Trustee notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that the Issuer has been terminated or the Indenture discharged in accordance herewith and with the Trust Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable, and the security interest granted pursuant to the Indenture has been released, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Depositor or the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Indenture Trustee or any other Person;

If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement Order from the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Certificate Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Depositor or any other Person. If at any time the Issuer notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that the Issuer has been terminated in accordance herewith and with the Trust Agreement and the security interest granted above has been released, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Depositor directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Certificate Depositor Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Issuer or any other Person;

(f)

In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Trust Account or the Certificate Account or any Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee, in the case of the Trust Accounts, or of the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Account. The Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts, or the Certificate Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee in the case of the Trust Accounts, or of the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Account (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (i) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Trust Accounts, and the Certificate Account, and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Trust Account or the Certificate Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds);

(g)

There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary in such capacity and the Depositor or the Issuer with respect to any Trust Account, or the Depositor with respect to the Certificate Account. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any provision of this Agreement) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail;

(h)

The rights and powers granted under the Indenture and herein to (x) the Indenture Trustee have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in the Trust Accounts and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and (y) the Issuer have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in the Certificate Account and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of the Depositor or the Issuer nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Accounts or of the Issuer in the Certificate Account, and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing; and

(i)

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Depositor and the Issuer agree that the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Account will be established only with the Securities Intermediary or another institution meeting the requirements of this Section, which by acceptance of its appointment as Securities Intermediary agrees substantially as follows: (1) it will comply with Entitlement Orders related to the Trust Accounts issued by the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, without further consent by the Depositor or the Issuer, and with Entitlement Orders related to the Certificate Account issued by the Issuer, as collateral agent, without further consent by the Depositor; (2) until termination of the Issuer or discharge of the Indenture, it will not enter into any other agreement related to such accounts pursuant to which it agrees to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent with respect to the Trust Accounts or the Issuer, as collateral agent with respect to the Certificate Account; and (3) all assets delivered or credited to it in connection with such accounts and all investments thereof will be promptly credited to the applicable account.

(j)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer to make withdrawals and distributions from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Master Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

(k)

Each of the Depositor and the Issuer agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments (including, without limitation, any financing statements under the Relevant UCC or this Agreement) as may be necessary to perfect the interests created by this Section in favor of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and otherwise fully to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section. The Depositor shall:

(i)

promptly execute, deliver and file any financing statements, amendments, continuation statements, assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to such interests and perform all such other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the perfection of the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Account Property; and

(ii)

make the necessary filings of financing statements or amendments thereto within five days after the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any change in its corporate name or any trade name or its jurisdiction of organization; (2) any change in the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business; and (3) any merger or consolidation or other change in its identity or corporate structure and promptly notify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any such filings.

(iii)

Neither the Depositor nor the Issuer shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee. Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuer proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Indenture Trustee, in the Trust Account Property. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements relating to the Trust Account Property, each of the Depositor and the Issuer authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee, to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this Section 5.10.

None of the Securities Intermediary or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary shall be under any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Securities Intermediary against any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders which would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Securities Intermediary’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder. The Securities Intermediary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of such document. The Issuer shall indemnify the Securities Intermediary for and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability, except in those cases where the Securities Intermediary has been guilty of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Securities Intermediary.

Section 5.09

Advances by Master Servicer and Servicers.

(a)

Subject to Section 4.10, Advances shall be made in respect of each Deposit Date as provided herein. If, on any Determination Date, any Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payments (or in the case of Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, the amount of any scheduled interest payments) due during the related Collection Period (other than Balloon Payments) have not been received, such Servicer shall advance such amount to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. If any Servicer fails to remit Advances required to be made under the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Advance on the Deposit Date immediately following such Determination Date. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Deposit Date immediately following such Determination Date either (i) remit to the Indenture Trustee from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the Note Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.09, used by the Master Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately available funds to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Account or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection Account for future payment to Securityholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Account on or before any future Deposit Date to the extent that funds in the Note Account on such Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Securityholders required to be made on the related Payment Date. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances made by it as provided in Section 4.08. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such Advance.

(b)

In the event that the Master Servicer or Servicer fails for any reason to make an Advance required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.09 on or before the Deposit Date, the Securities Administrator, as successor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.01, shall, on or before the related Payment Date, deposit in the Note Account an amount equal to the excess of (a) Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer or the Servicers that would have been deposited in such Note Account over (b) the amount of any Advance made by the Master Servicer or any Servicer with respect to such Payment Date; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall be required to make such Advance only if it is not prohibited by law from doing so and it has determined that such Advance would be recoverable from amounts to be received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Note Account for Advances made by it pursuant to this Section 5.09 as if it were the Master Servicer.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this Section 6.01 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority Securityholders, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.

On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under the terms of this Agreement; and the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying the Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the Indenture Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the Indenture Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Collection Account maintained by such defaulting Master Servicer and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Securities or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being terminated (or the Trust, if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) as a result of an Event of Default shall bear all costs of a master servicing transfer, including but not limited to those of the Indenture Trustee reasonably allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary.

The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Estate, if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or 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 Indenture Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Indenture Trustee to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. If the terminated Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefore, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust Estate and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Note Account pursuant to Section 5.02(b); provided that the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust Estate for any such expense incurred by the Trust Estate; and provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee shall decide whether and to what extent it is in the best interest of the Securityholders to pursue any remedy against any party obligated to make such reimbursement.

Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided in Section 4.08 to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer’s termination.

If any Event of Default shall occur, of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Indenture Trustee shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remit funds on the Deposit Date.

(b)

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or the Indenture Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 4.29, the Indenture Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination and shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 3.02. In the Indenture Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Indenture Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

(c)

Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Such successor Master Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing functions and providing the Indenture Trustee and successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts or investment property which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Securities or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Indenture 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 payment hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Indenture Trustee as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer.

Section 6.02

Additional Remedies of Indenture Trustee Upon Event of Default.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Indenture Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 6.01, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Securityholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

Section 6.03

Waiver of Defaults.

The Majority Securityholders may, on behalf of all Securityholders, waive any default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the Note Account or the Certificate Account that would result in a failure of the Indenture Trustee to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Securities may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Securityholders. 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.

Section 6.04

Notification to Holders.

Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Security holders at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register. The Indenture Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Indenture Trustee, give written notice thereof to Securityholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.

Section 6.05

Directions by Securityholders and Duties of Indenture Trustee During Event of Default.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Majority Securityholders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties as master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Securityholders.

Section 6.06

Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon Event of Default.

In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer that would become an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remedy the same after notice, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer.

Prior to January 30 in the first year as to which it has received prior instructions from the Depositor to do so, the Indenture Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards, prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, if applicable.

Prior to March 30, 20[__] and, unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notification shall have been filed, on or prior to March 30 of each year thereafter, the Indenture Trustee shall file (but will not execute) a Form 10-K, and the Master Servicer shall sign, in substance conforming to industry standards and complying with the Rules, with respect to the Trust.

The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any delay in filing the Form 10-D, Form 10-K or Form 10-K Certification due to the failure of any party to sign such Form 10-D, Form 10-K or Form 10-K Certification. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Indenture Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission.

ARTICLE VII

TAX ADMINISTRATION

Section 7.01

Tax Treatment.

(a)

It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Trust shall not be treated as (i) an association subject separately to taxation as a corporation, (ii) a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1 promulgated under the Code or (iii) subject separately to taxation as a corporation under Section 7701(i)(1) of the Code. It is also the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the Notes qualify under applicable tax laws as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and (ii) the Trust formed hereby be disregarded as an entity separate from the holder of the Residual Certificate unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Residual Certificateholder or (b) any series of Notes is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Trust for federal income tax purposes. In such event, the Trust is intended to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, and any holder of an Residual Certificate agree to report the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the above stated intentions unless and until determined to the contrary by an applicable taxing authority, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted to further the above stated intentions.

(b)

No offer, sale, transfer or other disposition (including any pledge or sale under a repurchase transaction) of any Residual Certificate shall be made to any transferee unless, prior to such disposition, the proposed transferor delivers to the Certificate Registrar and the Trust an Opinion of Counsel, rendered by a law firm generally recognized to be qualified to opine concerning the tax aspects of asset securitization, to the effect that such transfer (including any disposition permitted following any default under any pledge or repurchase transaction) will not cause the Trust to be (i) treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, (ii) taxable as a taxable mortgage pool as defined in Section 7701(i) of the Code or (iii) taxable as a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1 promulgated under the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the initial registration and transfer of the Residual Certificate to the Initial Holder.

(c)

The Indenture Trustee shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on a calendar year basis using the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Securityholder as may be required by the Code and applicable regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury Regulations”), such information as may be required to enable each Securityholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns, (c) prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed such tax returns relating to the Trust as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (making such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statutes, rules or regulations) and (d) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with this Agreement with respect to income or distributions to Securityholders and prepare or cause to be prepared the appropriate forms relating thereto; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to compute the Trust’s gross income and provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax returns on behalf of the Trust unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be at the Indenture Trustee’s expense, but shall be an expense of the Trust or other party furnishing such opinion) as to the necessity of such filings and reasonable compensation from the Trust not to exceed $5,000 per year. The Indenture Trustee shall sign all tax and information returns prepared or caused to be prepared pursuant to this Article VII, and in doing so shall rely entirely upon, and shall have no liability for information or calculations provided by, [ ], or any other Person. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any errors or omissions in preparing or filing the tax returns or errors or omissions in maintaining the books of the Trust if such errors or omissions were due to errors or omissions in the information contained in the servicer's report. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any errors or omissions in the preparing or filing of any tax returns or in maintaining the books of the Trust unless such error or omissions are due to the Indenture Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct in so preparing, filing or maintaining.

(d)

If the Trust is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Trust to maintain capital accounts and make partnership allocations in accordance with Section 704 of the Code. The holder of the Residual Certificates evidencing the largest Percentage Interest shall be designated as the “tax matters partner” of the Trust.

(e)

The Depositor and each Certificateholder, by acceptance of an Residual Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Residual Certificates for federal, state and local income tax purposes as an equity interest in the Trust. The Depositor and each Securityholder and each holder of a beneficial interest in a Note, by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for federal, state and local income tax purposes as indebtedness.

(f)

If any federal withholding tax is imposed on any payment to a Securityholder, such withholding tax shall reduce the amount otherwise payable to such Securityholder in accordance with this Article. The Indenture Trustee agrees, to the extent required by the Code, to withhold from each payment due hereunder, United States withholding taxes at the appropriate rate, and, on a timely basis, to deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such returns, filings and other reports in connection therewith as are required by the Code. Any Securityholder organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date such Securityholder becomes a Securityholder, (a) so notify the Indenture Trustee and (b)(i) provide the Indenture Trustee with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or similar forms), or (ii) notify the Indenture Trustee that it is not entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or a reduction in the rate thereof on payments of interest. Any such Securityholder agrees by its acceptance of a Security, on an ongoing basis, to provide like certification for each taxable year and to notify the Indenture Trustee should subsequent circumstances arise affecting the information provided to the Indenture Trustee in clauses (a) and (b) above. The Indenture Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon, and each Securityholder by its acceptance of a Security agrees to indemnify and hold the Indenture Trustee harmless against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or related to the Indenture Trustee’s reliance upon, any documents, forms or information provided by any Securityholder to the Indenture Trustee. In addition, if the Indenture Trustee has not withheld taxes on any payment made to any Securityholder, and the Indenture Trustee is subsequently required to remit to any taxing authority any such amount not withheld, such Securityholder shall return such amount to the Indenture Trustee upon written demand by the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall be liable only for direct (but not consequential) damages to any Securityholder due to the Indenture Trustee’s violation of the Code and only to the extent such liability is caused by the Indenture Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The amount of any withholding tax imposed on any payments to a Securityholder shall be treated as cash distributed to the Securityholder at the time it is so withheld and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If withholding tax might be payable on a payment to a Non-U.S. Person, the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold an appropriate amount to cover such possibility.

ARTICLE VIII

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Issuer, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Note Principal Amount of the Notes and of the Holder of the Residual Certificate 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; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Indenture Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments which are required to be distributed on any Class of Notes, without the consent of the Noteholders of such Class or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Note Principal Amount of Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Note Principal Amount of the Notes. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, the related Note Owners.

(c)

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor and to each Rating Agency.

(d)

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 9.03 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 Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

(e)

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Indenture Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Estate), satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to consent to any amendment that it reasonably believes will materially and adversely affect its rights or immunities under this Agreement.

Section 9.04

Acts of Securityholders. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever Securityholder action, consent or approval is required under this Agreement, such action, consent or approval shall be deemed to have been taken or given on behalf of, and shall be binding upon, all Securityholders if the Majority Securityholders agree to take such action or give such consent or approval.

Section 9.05

Recordation of Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement, or a memorandum thereof if permitted under applicable law, 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 properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Depositor on direction and at the expense of Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes and of the Holder of the Residual Certificate requesting such recordation, but only when accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Securityholders, or is necessary for the administration or servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

Section 9.16

Transfer of Servicing.

Each Seller agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the Master Servicer thirty days prior to any transfer or assignment by such Seller of its rights under any Servicing Agreement or of the servicing thereunder or delegation of its rights or duties thereunder or any portion thereof to any Person other than the initial Servicer under such Servicing Agreement; provided, that (i) each Seller shall not be required to provide prior notice of any transfer of servicing that occurs within three months following the Closing Date to an entity that is a Servicer on the Closing Date or (ii) Xxxxxx Holdings shall be required to provide notice of any transfer of servicing rights by either of them to the other.

(i)

Such successor servicer must be qualified to service loans for FNMA or FHLMC;

Such successor servicer must execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, that contains an assumption by such successor servicer of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the applicable Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement or, in the case of a transfer of servicing to a party that is already a Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, an agreement to add the related Mortgage Loans to the Servicing Agreement already in effect with such Servicer;

(iv)

If the successor servicer is not a Servicer of Mortgage Loans at the time of transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Notes;

(v)

The related Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the terminated Servicer to take such steps, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to such successor servicer, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) to the extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans and by applicable federal and state laws and regulations, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to timely mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required notices or disclosures describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the successor servicer; (B) prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transmit to any related insurer notification of such transfer of servicing; (C) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to deliver to the successor servicer all Mortgage Loan Documents and any related records or materials; (D) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the successor servicer, or, if such transfer occurs after a Remittance Date but before the next succeeding Deposit Date, to the Master Servicer, all funds held by the applicable Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (E) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to forward to such successor servicer, within one Business Day of receipt, the amount of any payments or other recoveries received by the prior Servicer, and to notify the successor servicer of the source and proper application of each such payment or recovery; and (F) the related Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to cooperate with the successor servicer to facilitate such transfer in such manner and to such extent as the successor servicer may reasonably request.
