TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of FebruaryΒ 1, 2007 (the βAgreementβ), is by and

depositor (the βDepositorβ), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the
βTrusteeβ), AURORA LOAN SERVICES LLC, as master servicer (the βMaster
Servicerβ), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., as securities administrator (the βSecurities
Administratorβ), and XXXXXXX FIXED INCOME SERVICES INC., as credit risk manager
(the βCredit Risk Managerβ).
Β
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
Β
The
Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, and at the Closing
Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed
by
it to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund. On the Closing
Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust Fund, as
consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and
the
other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor has duly authorized
the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance
to
the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust
Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan
Sale
Agreement and by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
the
other property constituting the Trust Fund are for the benefit of the Holders
from time to time of the Certificates and, to the extent provided herein, any
NIMS Insurer, the Swap Counterparty and the Cap Counterparty. The Depositor,
the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Credit Risk
Manager are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the
Trust
Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.
Β
As
provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust Fund (exclusive of
(i)
the Swap Agreement, (ii) the Swap Account, (iii) the right to receive and the
obligation to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls, (iv)
the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (v) the Supplemental Interest Trust, (vi) the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (vii) the Interest Rate Cap Account, (viii) the
Collateral Account, (ix) the right to receive FPD Premiums and (x) the
obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls (collectively, the βExcluded Trust
Assetsβ)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four real
estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a
βREMICβ or, in the alternative βREMIC 1,β βREMIC 2,β βREMIC 3,β and βREMIC 4β
(REMIC 4 also being referred to as the βUpper Tier REMICβ)). Any inconsistencies
or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement
shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC
elections.
Β
Each
Certificate, other than the Class R and Class LT-R Certificates, represents
ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class
LT-R, Class X and Class P Certificates, represents (i) the right to receive
payments with respect to any Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk
Shortfalls and (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls. The Class LT-R
Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in
REMIC
1. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual
interest in each of REMIC 2, REMIC 3, and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes
of
the REMIC Provisions.
Β
The
Upper
Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests
in
REMIC 3, other than the Class LT3-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest
is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 3 for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions. REMIC 3 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier
Interests in REMIC 2, other than the Class LT2-R interest, and each such Lower
Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2. REMIC
2
shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1,
and
each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in
REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other
than the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 and the Excluded
Trust Assets.
Β
The
startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the
latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created
hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
Β
REMIC
1:Β Β
Β
REMIC
1
shall issue one uncertificated interest in respect of each Mortgage Loan held
by
the Trust Fund on the Closing Date, each of which is hereby designated as a
regular interest in REMIC 1 (the βREMIC 1 Regular Interestsβ). REMIC 1 shall
also issue the Class LT-R Certificate, which shall represent the sole class
of
residual interest in REMIC 1. Each REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall have an
initial principal balance equal to the Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan to which it relates and shall bear interest at a per annum rate
equal to the Net Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan. In the event a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for such Mortgage Loan (the βOriginal
Mortgage Loanβ), no amount of interest payable on such Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loan shall be distributed on such REMIC 1 Regular Interest at a rate
in
excess of the Net Mortgage Rate of the Original Mortgage Loan.
Β
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an expense of
REMICΒ 1 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date, other
than any expenses in respect of the Swap Agreement.
Β
On
each
Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance
Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect
to
each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 based on the above-described
interest rates.
Β
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal
Remittance Amount among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in accordance with
the amount of the Principal Remittance Amount attributable to the Mortgage
Loan
corresponding to each such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1. All losses on the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1
in
the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.
Β
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums
collected during the preceding Prepayment Period to the Lower Tier Interest
in
REMIC 1 corresponding to the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such amounts
were received.

For
any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest
rate
for each of these Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 3 is a per annum
rate
equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower
Tier
Interests in REMIC 2 for such Distribution Date, provided,
however, that
for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT3-IO Interest is entitled
to a portion of the interest accruals on a Lower Tier Interest in
REMIC 2
having an βFβ in its class designation, as described in footnote two
below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting
the
rate on such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 2 to a cap equal to Swap
LIBOR
for such Distribution Date.

The
Class LT3-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal
balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column
in
the table below, the Class LT3-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued
on
the Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 2 listed in the second column in
the
table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i)
the
interest rate for such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 2 for such
Distribution Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution
Date.

(each, a βMaterial Defectβ), the Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the
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 Trustee with an Officerβs Certificate
confirming that such cure has been effected). If the 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 Fund, 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 Fund 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 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
2.05.
The failure of the Trustee or the 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 Fund.
Β
(d)Β Within
180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the Custodian, shall
deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer
a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-3 (or
in
the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-3, as applicable)
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession or control,
with any exceptions noted thereto.
Β
(e)Β Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied
duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any
Mortgagor.
Β
67
(f)Β Each
of
the parties hereto acknowledges that the 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 Trustee, solely in
its
capacity as Trustee hereunder, is hereby authorized and directed by the
Depositor to appoint the Custodian and to execute and deliver the Custodial
Agreement.
Β
(g)Β Upon
execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to the Trustee
and
the Trustee acknowledges a receipt of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, each
Servicing Agreement and the Bulk PMI Policies. The Depositor hereby directs
the
Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, to execute and deliver,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Bulk
PMI
Policies and each Servicing Agreement to which the Trustee is a
party.

under
the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and to the Trustee by the Depositor hereunder

Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the 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

Repurchase,
Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
|
Β
(a)Β With
respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this
Agreement or by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement,
the
principal portion of the funds (including the FPD Purchase Price (excluding
any
FPD Premium) in the case of any First Payment Default Mortgage Loan) received
by
the Trustee in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered
a Principal Prepayment and the Purchase Price or FPD Purchase Price (excluding
any FPD Premium), as applicable, shall be deposited in the Certificate Account.
The Trustee (i) upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for
a
Deleted Mortgage Loan, (ii) upon receipt of 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) upon receipt of notification from the 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 or the Seller, 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, which instruments shall be prepared
by
the related Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with
respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Seller
indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, and NIMS Insurer and each
Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
any
other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, any NIMS
Insurer
and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of such
Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance
with
the terms of this Section 2.05 and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, to the
extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC Event.
Β
(b)Β With
respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee (or the Custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange
for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable,
must deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian) the Mortgage File for the
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in
Section 2.01(b) along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery
of such Mortgage File and containing granting language substantially comparable
to that set forth in the first paragraph of Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the
Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties made
by it
with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable
after
the delivery of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master
Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the
cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall (i)Β with respect to a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause
the
Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by the applicable Servicer if required
pursuant to Section 2.01(c), or (ii) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such actions
as
are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner
of each
such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if required pursuant to Section
2.01(c).
Β
70
(c)Β Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations
that
no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan shall be made unless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer has received an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party
seeking
to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will
not
cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section
2.06
|
Grant
Clause.
|
Β
(a)Β It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Depositorβs right, title and interest in and
to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a
grant
of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations
of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(2)
the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders
of the
Certificates a first priority security interest to secure repayment of an
obligation in an amount equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of
the
Certificates (or the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC
1
Uncertificated Regular Interests, if applicable) in all of the Depositorβs
right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, the Trust Fund, the Supplemental Interest Trust and all proceeds
of
any and all property constituting the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest
Trust to secure payment of the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated
Regular Interests, as applicable (such security interest being, to the extent
of
the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, pari
passu
with the
security interest as provided in clause (4) below); (3) this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law; and (4) the Swap
Counterparty shall be deemed, during the term of such agreement and while
such
agreement is the property of the Trustee, to have a security interest in
all of
the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, but only to the
extent of such Swap Counterpartyβs right to payment under the Swap Agreement
(such security interest being pari
passu
with the
security interest as provided in clause (2) above). If such conveyance is
deemed
to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates
prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate
or
Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, as applicable, the security
interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee
shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person,
and
all proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.
Β
(b)Β The
Depositor 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 described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall
be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor shall,
at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date
and
shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and 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 Trusteeβs security
interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, 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 Trustee, (2) any
change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller or the
Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor
in
any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable
laws. Neither the Seller nor the Depositor 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 Trustee.
Before effecting such change, the Seller or the Depositor 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 intermediate transferees,
including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and the
Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate transferee 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 paragraph (b).

Registration.
|
Β
The
Trustee is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as, Certificate
Registrar in respect of the Certificates (and, after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase
Event, the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests) and shall
maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates
(and,
after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated
Regular Interests) (the βCertificate Registerβ). The Trustee may appoint a bank
or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar. A registration book shall
be
maintained for the Certificates (and Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests, as the case may be) collectively. The Certificate Registrar may
resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in
accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06
and
6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the
Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee. The Certificate Registrar may
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders, any NIMS Insurer
and
the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under
such
conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided,
however,
that the
Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
Β
73
Upon
the
occurrence of a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee with written notice of the identity of any transferee
of the
Master Servicerβs interest in the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests, which notice shall contain a certification that such transferee
is a
permitted LTURI-holder hereunder. The Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests may only be transferred in whole and not in part to no more than
one
LTURI-holder at a time who is either (1) an affiliate of the Master Servicer
or
(2) a trustee of a privately placed securitization. The Trustee and the
Depositor shall treat the Person in whose name the Lower Tier REMIC 1
Uncertificated Regular Interests are registered on the books of the Certificate
Registrar as the LTURI-holder for all purposes hereunder.

Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
|
Β
(a)Β A
Certificate (other than a Book-Entry Certificate which shall be subject to
Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by
such
Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory
to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or
any
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one
or
more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate,
the
same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the
Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a
Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer of Certificates.
Β
(b)Β A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new
Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing
in the
aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as
the
Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged
at
the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly
authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the
same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the
Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder
for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be
imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
and the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver
the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled
to
receive.
Β
74
(c)Β By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or a Regulation S Global Security,
whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such
a
Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate
set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only
as
provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i) such
Person is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and was, at
the
time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii) such
Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under
the
Securities Act, and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution
compliance period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge
or other transfer of such Certificates or any interest therein shall be made
in
the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (each
as
defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell,
pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates, such Certificates may be
offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which
the
seller reasonably believes is a βqualified institutional buyerβ (a βQIBβ) as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, that is purchasing such
Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional
buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance
on
Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S)
in
compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance
with
the requirements of this Agreement; and it will notify such transferee of
the
transfer restrictions specified in this Section.
Β
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in
the form of a Definitive Certificate:
Β
(i)
Β The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined
in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to
a
βqualified institutional buyerβ (a βQIBβ) as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act by a transferor that has provided the Trustee with a certificate
in the form of Exhibit F hereto; and
Β
(ii)
Β The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is being made to an βaccredited investorβ under Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or to any Person all
of the
equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who
furnishes to the Trustee a letter of the transferee substantially in the
form of
Exhibit G hereto.
Β
(d)Β (i)
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive
Certificate shall be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received (A)
a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (or Exhibit D-1,
in
the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion
of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase and
holding
of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in prohibited transactions
under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, any Servicer,
any
NIMS Insurer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in the Agreement; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as
a
result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Trustee,
has
rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or
holding
such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result
in a
prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Each
Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit H.
The
preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above
shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer or the Depositor.
Β
75
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial
issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Trustee shall have no
obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are
ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of
such
Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Trustee shall
be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.03(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder
thereof
or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
of
this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in
accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled,
but
not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan any
payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such
time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered
by the Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not
such
a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
Β
(ii)
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate shall be made prior to
the
termination of the Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, unless
the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the transferee
of
such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H, to the
effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting
on
behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such
transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Trust
Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction
Class
Exemption (βPTCEβ) 84-14, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 95-60 or PTCE 96-23.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, prior to the termination
of the Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, any purported
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate on behalf of a Plan without
the delivery to the Trustee of a representation letter as described above
shall
be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate is a
Book-Entry Certificate, prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement and
the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the transferee will be deemed to have made a
representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as
applicable.
Β
If
any
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired
or held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that
Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in
violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to
the
extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer from and
against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such
parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
Β
76
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
of
transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section 3.03(d)(ii) or for making any payments due on such Certificate
to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered
by
the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
Β
(e)Β As
a
condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate,
the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided,
however,
that the
Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or
to
determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service
charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer
or
exchange of a Certificate.
Β
(f)Β Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be
owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person
unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person
that
holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the
Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service W-8ECI or successor form
at
the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not
covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a βNon-permitted
Foreign Holderβ).
Β
Prior
to
and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver
to
the Trustee or Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 representing and warranting, among other things,
that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or
nominee
acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-Permitted Foreign
Holder (any such transferee, a βPermitted Transfereeβ), and the proposed
transferor shall deliver to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the
form
attached hereto as Exhibit D-2. In addition, the Trustee may (but shall have
no
obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer,
the
delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer
and the Trustee satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositor, that
such
proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee,
the
proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee
thereof, or a Non-Permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration
in
the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a
Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee
thereof, or Non-Permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed
to
be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization,
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-Permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed
to
be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall
not
be under any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of
a
Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof
or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the maturity of any payments due on such
Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action
with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as
the
transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge at the time
of
such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee
is
a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder. The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover
from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization,
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it
became
a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent
or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such
Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses,
including but not limited to attorneysβ fees, incurred in connection therewith).
Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the
Trustee shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such
Residual Certificate.
Β
77
If
any
purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate
in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt
of
written notice to the Trustee or Certificate Registrar that the registration
of
transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section
3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all
rights
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer
of
such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person
for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
not
permitted by this Section 3.03(f), for making any payment due on such
Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action
with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as
the
transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding
paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).
Β
(g)Β Each
Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted
Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holderβs or
Ownerβs acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented
to the provisions of this section.
Β
(h)Β Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security representing
any Class B1 or Class B2 Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or
on
behalf of DTC, transfers of a Global Security representing any such
Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with
Section
3.01 and this Section 3.03(h).
Β
(A)Β Subject
to clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 3.03(h), transfers of a Global Security
representing any Class B1 or Class B2 Certificate shall be limited to transfers
of such Global Security, in whole or in part, to nominees of DTC or to a
successor of DTC or such successorβs nominee.

(B)Β Restricted
Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security deposited
with

Restricted Global Security for an interest in a Regulation S Global Security,
or
to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Security to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation
S
Global Security, such holder, provided such holder is not a U.S. person,
may,
subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or cause the exchange
of
such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, of (I)
instructions from DTC directing the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, to
be
credited a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security in an amount
equal to the beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Security to be
exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holderβs
Certificates held through a Regulation S Global Security, (II) a written
order
given in accordance with DTCβs procedures containing information regarding the
participant account of DTC and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and

M-1
hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange
or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer
restrictions applicable to the Global Securities, including that the holder
is
not a U.S. person, and pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the
Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of the
Restricted Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Regulation
S
Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest
in
the Restricted Global Security to be exchanged, and shall instruct Euroclear
or
Clearstream, as applicable, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or
cause
to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions
a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security equal to the reduction
in the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security.
Β
78
(C)Β Regulation
S Global Security to Restricted Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security deposited
with
or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such
Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof
in
the form of an interest in a Restricted Global Security, such holder may,
subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or cause the exchange
of
such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Restricted Global
Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, of (I)
instructions from DTC directing the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, to
cause
to be credited a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security in an
amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security
to
be exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such
holderβs Certificates held through a Restricted Global Security, to be
exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant
account with DTC to be credited with such increase, and (II) a certificate
in
the form of Exhibit M-2 hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest
and stating, among other things, that the Person transferring such interest
in
such Regulation S Global Security reasonably believes that the Person acquiring
such interest in a Restricted Global Security is a QIB, is obtaining such
beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A
under
the Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable securities laws
of any
State of the United States or any other jurisdiction, then the Trustee, as
Certificate Registrar, will reduce the principal amount of the Regulation
S
Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global
Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in
the
Regulation S Global Security to be transferred and the Trustee, as Certificate
Registrar, shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit
or
cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions
a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security equal to the reduction
in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security.

Exchanges.
In the
event that a Global Security is exchanged for Certificates in definitive
registered form without interest coupons, pursuant to Section 3.09(c) hereof,
such Certificates may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with
such
procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including
certification requirements intended to insure that such transfers comply

Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating not less
than
50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates
identified as such to the Trustee by an Officerβs Certificate from the Clearing
Agency advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the
Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners
of
a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Trustee shall notify any NIMS Insurer
and shall notify or cause the Certificate Registrar to notify the Clearing
Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing
Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither
the
Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying
on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency
shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent
applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee
shall
recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, upon the instruction
of
the Depositor, shall have the right to issue Definitive Certificates on the
Closing Date in connection with credit enhancement programs.

Advances
by Master Servicer, Servicers and Securities Administrator.
|
Β
(a)Β Subject
to Section 9.07, Advances shall be made in respect of each Master Servicer
Remittance 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 Master
Servicer Remittance Date immediately following such Determination Date. If
the
Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date immediately following such Determination Date either
(i) remit to the Securities Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced
by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the Securities Administration
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 5.04, used by the Master Servicer to make such
Advance, and remit such immediately available funds to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Securities Administration 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 distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by
the
Master Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the Securities Administrator
for deposit in the Securities Administration Account on or before any future
Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate
Account on such Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be less than payments
to
Certificateholders required to be made on the related Distribution Date.
The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any determination by
the
Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would constitute a non-recoverable
advance. 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 4.02. 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.
Β
(b)Β In
the
event that the Master Servicer or any Servicer fails for any reason to make
an
Advance required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.04 on or before the
Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Securities Administrator, solely in
its
capacity as successor master servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, shall, on
or
before the related Distribution Date, deposit in the Certificate 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 Certificate
Account over (b) the amount of any Advance made by the Master Servicer or
any
Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date; provided,
however,
that the
Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from
the Collection Account and/or the Certificate Account for Advances made by
it
pursuant to this Section 5.04 as if it were the Master Servicer.

6.01
|
Duties
of Trustee and Securities Administrator.
|
Β
(a)Β The
Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge, and the
Securities Administrator, undertake to perform such duties and only such
duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right of
the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator provided for in this Agreement shall
not
be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator. If
an
Event of Default has occurred and has not otherwise been cured or waived,
the
Trustee (upon receipt of actual knowledge thereof by a Responsible Officer
of
the Trustee) or the Securities Administrator shall exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care
and
skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such Personβs own affairs, unless, with respect
to the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator is acting as
Master Servicer, in which case it shall use the same degree of care and skill
as
the Master Servicer hereunder.
Β
116
(b)Β Each
of
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
are on
their face in the form required by this Agreement; provided,
however,
that
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible
for
the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion,
report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer,
any Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty or the Credit Risk
Manager to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical
information furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant
to
this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if any such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument is found not to conform on its face to the form required by this
Agreement in a material manner the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as
applicable, shall notify the Person providing such resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports or other documents of the non-conformity, and
if
the instrument is not corrected to the Trusteeβs or Securities Administratorβs,
as applicable, satisfaction, the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as
applicable, will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and any
NIMS
Insurer and will, at the expense of the Trust Fund, which expense shall be
reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take such further
action as directed by the Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer.
Β
(c)Β Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its negligence or
willful misconduct. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to
relieve
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct;
provided,
however,
that:
Β
(i)
Β Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect
to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the Holders as provided in Section 6.18
hereof;
Β
(ii)
Β For
all
purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice
of
any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a
default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such
notice references the Holders of the Certificates and this
Agreement;
Β
117
(iii)
Β For
all
purposes under this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall not be
deemed
to have notice of any Event of Default (other than resulting from a failure
by
the Master Servicer to furnish information to the Securities Administrator
when
required to do so) unless a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator
has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which
is in
fact such a default is received by the Securities Administrator at the address
provided in Section 11.07, and such notice references the Holders of the
Certificates and this Agreement;
Β
(iv)
Β No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of
performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement;
Β
(v)
Β Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for any
act or
omission of the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Credit Risk Manager, the

be
responsible for any act or omission of the other.

Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged to

however,
that the
Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer upon receipt any such
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered
to the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and makes reference to this series
of
Certificate or this Agreement, (ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual
knowledge, and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit the
Trustee
to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates
is
a Mortgaged Property.
Β
(e)Β Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith
in accordance with the direction of any NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders
of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time, method and place
of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, under this
Agreement.
Β
(f)Β Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to perform
services under this Agreement, or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder
or
the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground
for
believing that the timely payment of its fees and expenses or the repayment
of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of,
any
of the obligations of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement

Administrator shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties,
powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms
of
this Agreement.

thereon).
Β
(h)Β The
Trustee shall not and, except as otherwise provided herein, the Securities
Administrator shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing,
or
depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest,
or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or
to
any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
insurance or claim under any Insurance Policy, and (C) to see to the payment

any
part of the Trust Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust other than from
funds
available in the Collection Account, the Securities Administration Account

the Certificate Account, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided herein,
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any dutyΒ to
confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master
Servicer, any Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty or the
Credit Risk Manager delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper party or parties.
Β
(i)Β Neither
the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable in its individual
capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer

other officers of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as
applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
Β
(j)Β Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Securities
Administrator, any Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for special,
indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including,

the
Paying Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action, provided,
however,
that
this Subsection 6.01(j) shall not apply in connection with any failure by

the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be responsible for the
acts
or omissions of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall
not be
construed to render them agents of one another, or of the Master Servicer
or any
Servicer.

long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for
the
BNC Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-1 transaction, the Securities Administrator

this
Agreement.
Β
(c)Β Any

have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively

of this
Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of

written notice of resignation to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any

taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall
be

reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to withdraw
such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant

no
responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the
issuance of any notice of termination and within a period of time not to
exceed
90 days after the Securities Administrator receives written notice from the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or Section 9.28, as applicable. The
Securities Administrator shall have no liability relating to the representations
and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.14. In the
Securities Administratorβs capacity as such successor, the Securities
Administrator shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted
to the
Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Securities Administrator shall
be
entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under
this
Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee.
Β
133
(c)Β Notwithstanding
the above, the Securities Administrator may, if it shall be unwilling to
continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, request the Trustee
to
appoint, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint
on
its own behalf 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 the Master Servicer hereunder. Such successor master servicer
shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer
prior to such successorβs assumption of the Master Servicerβs rights and
obligations hereunder and such successor master servicer shall also have
no
liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer
set forth in Section 9.14. Any entity designated by the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator as a successor master servicer may be an Affiliate
of
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator; provided,
however,
that,
unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards
set
forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such
designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliateβs
actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments
on
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 Trustee, the Securities Administrator 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 Trustee, the Securities Administrator
and any successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicerβs responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation,
notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the master servicing functions
and
providing the Trustee, the Securities Administrator 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 Servicerβs
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts
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 Certificates or the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests
or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor any other successor master servicer
shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make,
or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof 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 Securities Administrator
as
required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. Neither the Securities
Administrator nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to
be in
default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making,
any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of
the
Trustee to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records
to it,
or (ii) the failure of Trustee to cooperate as required by this Agreement.

terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of
the
last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all
REO
Property, (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance
with Section 7.01(b) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (each, a

however,
that in
no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration
of
21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx

Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Jamesβs,
living on the date hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Trust Fund Termination
Event, each REMIC shall be terminated in a manner that shall qualify as a
βqualified liquidationβ under the REMIC Provisions.
Β
(b)Β On
any
Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination
Date,
the Master Servicer or LTURI-holder, as applicable, with the prior written
consent of any NIMS Insurer and the Seller, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, has the option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a
plan of
complete liquidation pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(i) hereof to sell all of
its
property (each such option, a βCall Optionβ); provided,
however,
that
any purchase of the Trust Fundβs property on or before the Distribution Date
that is one year after the Initial Optional Termination Date shall be made
by
the Bid Holder pursuant to Section 7.01(d) below. Upon exercise of such option,
the property of the Trust Fund shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a
price
(the βTermination Priceβ) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal
balance of each Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus interest accrued
thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan
to the
Due Date in the Collection Period immediately preceding the related Distribution
Date to the date of such repurchase, (ii) the fair market value of any REO
Property and any other property held by any REMIC, such fair market value
to be
determined by an independent appraiser or appraisers mutually agreed upon
by the
Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee (reduced, in the case of
REO
Property, by (1) reasonably anticipated disposition costs and (2) any amount
by
which the fair market value as so reduced exceeds the outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus interest accrued thereon at the
applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the date of such purchase), (iii) any
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and (iv) any Swap Termination Payment payable
to
the Swap Counterparty as a result of a termination pursuant to this Section
7.01; provided,
however, if
there
are any NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer may only exercise
its
option after receiving the prior written consent of the holders of such NIM
Securities and, if such consent is given, the Termination Price shall also
include an amount equal to the sum of (1) any accrued interest on the NIM
Securities, (2) the unpaid principal balance of any such NIM Securities and
(3)
any other reimbursable expenses owed by the issuer of the NIM Securities
(the
βNIM Redemption Amountβ). The Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the
Termination Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property for any Advances
made or other amounts advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are
reimbursable to any such entity under this Agreement, the applicable Servicing
Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid
compensation and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee hereunder or the Servicers or the Custodian.
If the
NIMS Insurer directs the Master Servicer to exercise its right to cause the
Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as described above, then
(i)
the Master Servicer shall cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete
liquidation as described above, (ii) the NIMS Insurer shall remit the
Termination Price in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer at
least
three Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date and, upon receipt
of such funds from the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer shall promptly deposit
such funds in the Collection Account and (iii) upon termination of the Trust
Fund, the Trustee will transfer the property of the Trust Fund to the NIMS
Insurer. The NIMS Insurer shall be obligated to reimburse the Master Servicer
and the Trustee for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with its termination of the Trust Fund at the direction of the NIMS Insurer
and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and the Trustee for
any
losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any claims arising out of
or
relating to the Master Servicerβs termination of the Trust Fund at the direction
of the NIMS Insurer, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses
arise out of or result from the Master Servicerβs negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.
Β
145
(c)Β On
any
Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination
Date
and provided there are no NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer,
with
the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, has the option (the βRegular Interest Purchase Optionβ) to purchase
all of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests. Upon exercise
of
such option, the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests shall
be
sold to the Master Servicer at a price (the βLower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated
Regular Interests Purchase Priceβ) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid
principal balance of each Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus
interest accrued thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to
any
Mortgage Loan to the Due Date in the Collection Period immediately preceding
the
related Distribution Date to the date of such repurchase and (ii) the fair
market value of any REO Property and any other property held by any REMIC,
such
fair market value to be determined by an independent appraiser or appraisers
mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee
(reduced, in the case of REO Property, by (1) reasonably anticipated disposition
costs and (2) any amount by which the fair market value as so reduced exceeds
the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus interest
accrued thereon at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the date of such
purchase). If the Master Servicer elects to exercise such option, each REMIC
created pursuant to this Agreement (other than REMIC 1) shall be terminated
in
such a manner so that the termination of each such REMIC shall qualify as
a
βqualified liquidationβ under the REMIC Provisions and the Lower Tier REMIC 1
Uncertificated Regular Interests and the Class LT-R Certificates will evidence
the entire beneficial interest in the property of the Trust Fund. Following
a
purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant
to
this subsection, the Trust Fund (and REMIC 1) will remain outstanding and
final
payment on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates) will
be
made in accordance with Sections 7.03(a)(iii) and 5.02. The Trust Fund will
terminate upon the occurrence of a Trust Fund Termination Event, in accordance
with Section 7.01(a).

Price for the related Distribution Date.
Β
(iii)
Β Not
later
than the 15th day (or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately
succeeding Business Day) of each Bid Month (the βBid Due Dateβ), if any Call
Option Holder desires that the Master Servicer exercise the option to purchase
the Mortgage Loans and certain other property of the Trust Fund, such Call
Option Holder shall give written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
Z
(the βPurchaser Call Option Noticeβ) to the Master Servicer, requesting that the
Master Servicer exercise such option on behalf of such Call Option Holder.
The
Purchaser Call Option Notice shall include the amount to be paid by a Call
Option Holder with respect to the proceeds or assets to be received by the
Master Servicer for the Mortgage Loans and certain other property of the
Trust
Fund (the βBid Priceβ); provided,
that
the Bid Price must be equal to or greater than the Termination
Price.
Β
(iv)
Β One
(1)
Business Day after the related Bid Due Date, the Master Servicer shall notify
the Call Option Holder, if any, that has submitted the highest Bid Price
(the
βBid Holderβ) that such Bid Holder has the right to direct the Master Servicer
to exercise the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and certain other property
of the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall thereafter notify any Call Option
Holder that did not submit the highest Bid Price (or did not submit a Purchaser
Call Option Notice) of the amount of the highest Bid Price. If two or more
Call
Option Holder shall have bid the same Bid Price, the Bid Holder shall be
the
Call Option Holder with the greater Percentage Interest in the NIM Residual
Securities or Class X Certificates, as applicable. If the Master Servicer
does
not receive any Purchaser Call Option Notices by such Bid Due Date, or if
no
Purchaser Call Option Notice specifies a Bid Price equal to or greater than
the
Termination Price, then the Master Servicer shall not exercise the option
to
purchase the Mortgage Loans and certain other property of the Trust Fund
on such
Distribution Date (other than in accordance with clause (vii)
below).
Β
147
(v)
Β Not
later
than three (3) Business Days immediately preceding the Distribution Date
in the
related Bid Month, the Bid Holder shall remit the Bid Price as specified
in the
Purchaser Call Option Notice to the Master Servicer, in immediately available
funds. Upon receipt of such funds from the Bid Holder, the Master Servicer
shall
promptly deposit the Termination Price in the Collection Account for subsequent
deposit in the Certificate Account in accordance with this Agreement. Any
amounts received by the Master Servicer from the Bid Holder in excess of
the
Termination Price shall be remitted to the Trustee for distribution to the
Call
Option Holders. In no event shall any such excess be treated as being paid
by
any REMIC created hereby.
Β
(vi)
Β If
the
Bid Holder directs the Master Servicer to exercise the option to purchase
the
Mortgage Loans and certain other property of the Trust Fund, then the Master
Servicer shall (i) cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation
pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(i) hereof to sell all of its property and (ii)
instruct the Trustee upon termination of the Trust Fund to transfer the property
of the Trust Fund to the Bid Holder. The Bid Holder shall be obligated to
reimburse the Master Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with its exercise of the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans
and
certain other property of the Trust Fund and to indemnify and hold harmless
the
Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any
claims directly resulting from or relating to the Master Servicerβs exercise of
such option, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise
out
of or result from the Master Servicerβs negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. The terms of such expense reimbursement and the extent of such
indemnity may be amended accordant to an agreement between the Master Servicer
and the Bid Holder.
Β
(vii)
Β Commencing
on the Distribution Date of the one year anniversary of the Initial Optional
Termination Date, and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the Master Servicer
shall have the right to exercise the Call Option or the Regular Interests
Purchase Option. If the Master Servicer desires to exercise the Call Option
or
the Regular Interests Purchase Option, the Master Servicer shall notify the
Call
Option Holders pursuant to a Call Option Notice that it desires to exercise
such
Call Option or such Regular Interest Purchase Option, as applicable, on the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date. If one or more Call Option Holders
submit a Purchaser Call Option Notice on or before the immediately succeeding
Bid Due Date, then, the Master Servicer shall follow the procedures set forth
in
clauses (iv) through (vi) above. However, if no Call Option Holder submits
a
Purchaser Call Option Notice on or before the immediately succeeding Bid
Due
Date, then, on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, the Master Servicer

of
the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the Lower Tier REMIC 1
Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant to Section 7.01(c).

the
sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b)
or (2)
the purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant

Fund Termination Event, the Trustee shall also give notice to the Master
Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty, the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar at the time notice is given to
Holders.
Β
148
In
the
case of a Trust Fund Termination Event, such notice shall specify (A) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates or Lower
Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests of all amounts required to

is
not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender
of
the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
Upon
any such Trust Fund Termination Event, the duties of the Certificate Registrar
with respect to the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests shall terminate and the Trustee shall terminate or request the

Servicer to terminate, the Collection Account it maintains, the Certificate
Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the
Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, subject

that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the

with
respect to the Certificates other than the Class LT-R Certificate shall
terminate but the Trustee shall not terminate or request the Master Servicer
to

149
(b)Β In
the
event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the
second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the
Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be
paid
out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after
the
second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Trustee shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment,
hold
all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders.
No
interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed
to a
Certificateholder due to such Certificateholderβs failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance
with
this Section.

action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate
Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced
by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders
in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise

or
deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by
an
officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of
any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing
the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.

(a)Β 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 Servicerβs behalf, and covering errors and
omissions in the performance of the Master Servicerβs obligations hereunder. The

coverage customarily maintained by master servicers of mortgage loans similar
to
the Mortgage Loans and the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and

NIMS Insurer 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

bond
and insurance policy are in full force and effect. The Master Servicer shall
promptly report to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer 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 Trustee and any NIMS Insurer. 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 Trustee

(a)Β The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article X hereof, 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 Certificateholders
and
the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of
the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion
of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in
each
case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the 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 Trust Fund or the Certificateholders
in
any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee,
the
Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent
and
protect the interests of the Trust Fund 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 and shall not make or knowingly permit
any
Servicer to make any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any
Mortgage Loan that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event. 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 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 Certificateholders, the 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 Trustee
shall furnish to 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 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 Trustee
shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the
Master
Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been
advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to
be
taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the
Trustee would be adversely affected under the βdoing businessβ or tax laws of
such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request of the
Trustee
the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a
co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof. In no event shall the Master
Servicer, without the Trusteeβs written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit
or proceeding solely under the Trusteeβs name without indicating the Master
Servicer in its applicable, representative capacity, so long as the
jurisdictional and procedural rules will allow for this insertion to occur,
(ii)
initiate any action, suit or proceeding not directly relating to the servicing
of a Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to actions, suits or proceedings
against Certificateholders, or against the Depositor or the Transferor for
breaches of representations and warranties) solely under the Trusteeβs name,
(iii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee in any action, suit or proceeding
not directly relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan (including but
not
limited to actions, suits or proceedings against Certificateholders, or against
the Depositor or the Transferor for breaches of representations and warranties),
or (iv) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits,
registrations or other documents or take any action with the intent to cause,
and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in
any
state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all costs,
liabilities and expenses incurred by the 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 Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund, be
deemed
to be the agent of the Trustee.
Β
156
(b)Β 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 (but not any Prepayment Premium, except as set forth below)
and
(ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note; 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 5.04 on the basis of the amortization schedule
of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such extension.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall not make or knowingly permit any modification, waiver or amendment
of any
material term of any Mortgage Loan, unless: (1) such Mortgage Loan is in
default
or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the
Master
Servicer or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, (2) in the case
of a
waiver of a Prepayment Premium, (a) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default
by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer
or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable and such waiver would maximize
recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment
Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if the prepayment is not the
result
of a refinance by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and (i) such Mortgage
Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable
judgment of the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable
and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account
the value of such Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii)
the
collection of the Prepayment Premium would be in violation of applicable
law or
(iii) the collection of such Prepayment Premium would be considered βpredatoryβ
pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal,
state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having
jurisdiction over such matters and (3) the Master Servicer shall have provided
or caused to be provided to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the
Trustee (which opinion shall, if provided by the Master Servicer, be an expense
reimbursed from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02(v)) to the
effect that such modification, waiver or amendment would not result in an
Adverse REMIC Event; provided, in no event shall an Opinion of Counsel be
required for the waiver of a Prepayment Premium under clause (2)
above.
Β
(c)Β As
an
alternative permitting a modification or effectuating a foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of a Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer
may, at
its option, purchase any Mortgage Loan that has become one hundred and twenty
(120) days or more delinquent in payment (including, for the avoidance of
doubt,
any Mortgage Loan with respect to which the related borrower is in Bankruptcy);
provided, however, that (i) the Master Servicer promptly notifies the related
Servicer of its intention to purchase any such delinquent Mortgage Loan prior
to
its purchase and (ii) that the Master Servicer shall exercise any such option
to
purchase a Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days after any such Mortgage Loan
has
become one hundred and twenty (120) days delinquent. The price at which the
Master Servicer shall purchase any such delinquent Mortgage Loan shall equal
the
Purchase Price and such amount shall be deposited into the Collection Account
on
the date of purchase pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(viii). Upon receipt by the
Trustee of a written certification from the Master Servicer that the Master
Servicer has exercised such option and deposited the full amount of the Purchase
Price of the related Mortgage Loan in the Collection Account and delivery
of a
Request for Release of Documents (on the form attached hereto as Exhibit
C or in
the form attached to the Custodial Agreement), the Custodian shall release
the
related Mortgage File to or upon the order of the Master Servicer, and at
the
written requirement of the Master Servicer the Trustee shall execute and
deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title to such Mortgage
Loan in the Master Servicer or its designee, which instruments shall be prepared
by the Master Servicer.

Enforcement
of Servicerβs and Master Servicerβs Obligations.

Β
(a)Β 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 Trust
Fund, the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
Β
(b)Β 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.
Β
(c)Β The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under
the
related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails
to
perform its obligations in accordance 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 attorneysβ 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)Β The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively 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.

Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.
|
Β
(a)Β 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 βEscrow Accountβ) 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 4.02 or otherwise.
Β
(b)Β 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 distributions to be made to Certificateholders. 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 4.02.

Termination
of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers.

Β
(a)Β 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.
Β
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 Fund, if the applicable 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 of
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.
Β
159
(b)Β 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 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.
Β
(c)Β 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 itself 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

judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities Administrator shall
pay
any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including
but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or
any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve
the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent
that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses
of a
routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii));
or
(ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are
attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities
Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as
tax
return preparer). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from
the
Securities Administration Account, provided,
however,
the
Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports
as
required by Section 6.20 and this Section.
Β
(d)Β The
Securities Administrator shall prepare, the Trustee shall sign and the
Securities Administrator shall file, all of each REMICβs federal and appropriate
state tax and information returns as such REMICβs direct representative. The
expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities
Administrator.
Β
(e)Β The
Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of each
REMIC
all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility
of
such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.
Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or
other
such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to the Treasury
or
other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate
to any
disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation
1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code
and
(ii) to the Trustee such information as is necessary for the Trustee to provide
to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by
the
Code or REMIC Provisions.
Β
179
The
Securities Administrator shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation
from the Trust for the performance of its duties under this subsection (e);
provided,
however,
that
such compensation shall not exceed $5,000 per year.
Β
(f)Β The
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders
of
Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action
necessary to create or maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under
the
REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain
such status. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take
any
action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause
to
be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee,
the
Securities Administrator, any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer have received
an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will
not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action
with
respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take
any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement,
any
Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer or their respective
designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person
shall
take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which
the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any NIMS Insurer
has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
Β
(g)Β Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent
that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee,
at
the direction of the Securities Administrator, shall pay any remaining REMIC
taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder
of
the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available,
out of other amounts held in the Certificate Account, and shall reduce amounts
otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the
case
may be.
Β
(h)Β The
Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain
books
and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
Β
(i)Β No
additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement.
Β
(j)Β Neither
the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services.
Β
(k)Β On
or
before October 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the Securities
Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer an Officerβs
Certificate stating, without regard to any actions taken by any party other
than
the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administratorβs compliance with
provisions of this Section 10.01.
Β
180
(l)Β The
Securities Administrator shall treat each of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund
and the
Supplemental Interest Trust (exclusive of the Collateral Account) as an outside
reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h)
that
is owned by the Holders of the Class X Certificates and that is not an asset
of
any REMIC and all amounts deposited into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund or the
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be treated as amounts distributed to the
Class
X Certificateholders. The Securities Administrator shall treat the Collateral
Account as an outside reserve fund that is owned by the Swap Counterparty
and
the Cap Counterparty.
Β
(m)Β For
federal income tax purposes, upon any sale of the property held by the Trust
Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b), any NIM Redemption Amount paid by the Master
Servicer shall not be treated as a portion of the purchase price paid for
such
property but shall instead be treated as an amount paid by the Master Servicer
to the Holder of the Class X Certificates in exchange for an interest in
the
Class X Certificates immediately before the purchase of the property held
by the
Trust Fund.
Β
(n)Β The
Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates
(other than the Class P, Class X, Class LT-R and Class R Certificates) as
having
entered into a notional principal contract with the beneficial owners of
the
Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract,
all
beneficial owners of LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as having agreed
to
pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X
Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount
payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Upper Tier REMIC
corresponding to such Class of Certificates over
(ii)
the
amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such
excess, a βClass I Shortfallβ). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest
collections shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent
that
interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the Certificate
Interest Rate for a Class, computed by substituting βREMIC 3 Net Funds Capβ for
the applicable βNet Funds Capβ in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of
interest accrued for the related Accrual Period based on the applicable Net
Funds Cap, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall
be
allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding
principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to
such
notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates
shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid
Basis
Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the LIBOR Certificates in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the
foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a βregular interestβ in a REMIC
within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from
the
Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as
having
been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of
their
Interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial
owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal
contract.Β Thus,
each Certificate (other than a Class P, Class R and Class LT-R Certificates)
shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests
in the
Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with
respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional
principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates
entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls
of
$48,853.75 as of the Closing Date.
Β
181
(o)Β Notwithstanding
the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article V hereof or otherwise,
the Securities Administrator shall account for all distributions on the
Certificates as set forth in this Section 10.01. In no event shall any payments
of Basis Risk Shortfalls or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in
this
Section 10.01 be treated as payments with respect to a βregular interestβ in a
REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

to
(i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust
Fund,
(iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement,
(iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase
of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any
assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing
Date, unless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer has received an Opinion of
Counsel
addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party causing such sale,
disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution,
or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in
the

pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

Indemnification
with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
|
Β
Upon
the
occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by
the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as
applicable, shall indemnify any NIMS Insurer, the Holder of the related Residual
Certificate or the Trust Fund, as applicable, against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (βLossesβ) resulting from such
negligence; provided,
however,
that
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for
any
such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer,
the
Depositor, the Class X Certificateholders, the Holder of such Residual
Certificate or the Securities Administrator (with regard to the Trustee),
as
applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided
by
the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Securities Administrator
has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights
and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in
no
event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, have
any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with
and in
compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by
the
terms of, this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, (2) for any Losses other
than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in
addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates); provided,
however,
that
this sentence shall not apply in connection with any failure by the Securities
Administrator to comply with the provisions of Subsections 6.01(l) hereof
and
Subsections 9.25(a) or (b) hereof. In addition, neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall have any liability for the actions or failure
to
act of any other party hereto.

REO
Property.
|
Β
(a)Β Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf
of
the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit any Servicer to, rent, lease,
or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property
which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master Servicer has advised,
or has caused the applicable Servicer to advise, the Trustee and any NIMS
Insurer in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action
would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
Β
(b)Β The
Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided
in
its Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property
for
its fair market value. In any event, however, the Master Servicer shall,
or
shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in its Servicing
Agreement) to, dispose of any REO Property within three years of its acquisition
by the Trust Fund unless the Master Servicer has received a grant of extension
from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC
Provisions, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing
an Adverse REMIC Event. If the Master Servicer has received such an extension,
then the Trustee, or the Master Servicer, acting on its behalf hereunder,
shall,
or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the
REO
Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years
as
such extension permits (the βExtended Periodβ). If the Trustee has not received
such an extension and the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, acting
on
behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within
33
months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Master Servicer
has
received such an extension, and the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer
is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months
before
the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable
Servicer, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period,
as
applicable, to (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO
Propertyβs fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest
bidder (which may be the applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed
to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period
or the
Extended Period, as the case may be.

of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of

expense
of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse
REMIC Event and is permitted hereunder; and provided further, that no such
amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed
on any
Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required
to
consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100%
of the
Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates
affected thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to βHolderβ or

Cap
Agreement or the Swap Agreement, respectively, or the ability of the Trustee

and timely its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Swap
Agreement, as applicable, is adversely affected, in which case prior written
consent of the Credit Risk Manager, the Cap Counterparty or the Swap
Counterparty, as applicable, is required). Prior to entering into any amendment
pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee and the Swap Counterparty shall be
provided with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer
and the Swap Counterparty (at the expense of the party requesting such
amendment) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this Section

shall
not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 11.03 to approve
