This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective as of January 1, 2006, among ACE SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor, GMAC MORTGAGE CORPORATION as a Servicer and OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC as a Servicer, XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Master Servicer and Securities Administrator and HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest of the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of the Mortgage Loans, the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.

REMIC I

As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement (other than the Reserve Fund, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Swap Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I”. The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of a breach by the Sponsor of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Sponsor and the related Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Sponsor deliver such missing document, cure such defect or breach within sixty (60) days from the date the Sponsor was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Sponsor does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within ninety (90) days after the date on which the Sponsor was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Sponsor is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Collection Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from such Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause the applicable Custodian (upon receipt of a request for release in the form attached to respective the Custodial Agreement) to release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Sponsor shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Sponsor any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any breach of a representation or warranty contained in clauses (xxxiv), (xxxviii), (xxxix), (xl), (xli), (xlvi), (xlvii) and/or (lvi) of Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be automatically deemed to affect materially and adversely the interests of the Certificateholders.

In addition, promptly upon the earlier of discovery by a Servicer or receipt of notice by a Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the Sponsor set forth in Section 5(xii) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, such Servicer shall promptly notify the Sponsor and the Trustee of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remedy such breach to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(b) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement must be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Sponsor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Sponsor delivering to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2 of the related Custodial Agreement, as applicable, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, review such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the related Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, an initial certification pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the related Servicer a final certification pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the Sponsor. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Sponsor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the related Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included herein or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable P&I Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Sponsor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, upon receipt of a request for release in the form attached to the respective Custodial Agreement and certification by the related Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Sponsor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Sponsor, a Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two (2) Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Sponsor shall repurchase or substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within ninety (90) days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Sponsor if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage does not result from a breach of a representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Sponsor the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

(d) With respect to a breach of the representations made pursuant to Section 5(xii) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Sponsor shall be required to take the actions set forth in this Section 2.03 of this Agreement.

(e) Within ninety (90) days of the earlier of discovery by a Servicer or receipt of notice by a Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or Prepayment Charge, such Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(vii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by Ocwen of, or compliance by Ocwen with, this Agreement or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained prior to the Closing Date;

(viii) Ocwen has fully furnished and will continue to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors on a monthly basis;

(ix) Ocwen is a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS; and

(x) Ocwen will not waive any Prepayment Charge other than in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 3.01.

Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the related Servicer in respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust Fund.

It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive the resignation or termination of the parties hereto, the termination of this Agreement and the delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any such Person or the related Servicer of a breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge or the interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery) to the Trustee. Subject to Section 8.01, unless such breach shall not be susceptible of cure within 90 days, the obligation of the related Servicer set forth in Section 2.03(e) to cure breaches shall constitute the sole remedy against the related Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS; ACCOUNTS

SECTION 3.01. The Servicers to Act as Servicers.

The obligations of each of Ocwen and GMAC hereunder to service and administer the Mortgage Loans shall be limited to the Ocwen Mortgage Loans and the GMAC Mortgage Loans, respectively, and with respect to the duties and obligations of each Servicer, references herein to the related Mortgage Loans shall be limited to (i) the GMAC Mortgage Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and related REO Properties) in the case of GMAC and (ii) the Ocwen Mortgage Loans (and the related proceeds and related REO Properties) in the case of Ocwen, and in no event shall any Servicer have any responsibility or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loans serviced by the other Servicer hereunder.

On and after the Closing Date, the Servicers shall service and administer the related Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the related Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and all applicable law and regulations and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

(i) any relationship that the related Servicer or any Affiliate of the related Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the related Servicer or any Affiliate of such Servicer;

(iii) the related Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances; or

(iv) the related Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder;

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, each Servicer shall also seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver is related to a default or reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of such Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, (ii) such Prepayment Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection of such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable law or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” 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. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Charge payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note is less than the amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule or other information provided to the related Servicer, such Servicer shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to such difference, and in addition shall not have any liability or obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Prepayment Charge Schedule.

Subject only to the above-described servicing standards (the “Accepted Servicing Practices”) and the terms of this Agreement and of the related Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall have full power and authority, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable with the goal of maximizing proceeds of the Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Servicer in its own name is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the related Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, and upon written notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge or subordination, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall service and administer the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. Each Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.14, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of a Servicer, and furnish to such Servicer a power of attorney in the form of Exhibit D hereto and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder and furnished to the Trustee by such Servicer, and the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of such Servicer under such powers of attorney and shall be indemnified by such Servicer for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Servicer’s use or misuse of any such power of attorney.

Each Servicer further is hereby authorized and empowered in its own name or in the name of the Sub-Servicer, when such Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS® System, shall be reimbursable by the Trust Fund to such Servicer.

In accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, each Servicer shall make or cause to be made Servicing Advances as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties (to the extent such Servicer has been notified that such taxes or assessments have not been paid by the related Mortgagor, owner or servicer of the related First Mortgage Loan), which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the related Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement, and further as provided in Section 3.09 of this Agreement; provided, however, the related Servicer shall only make such Servicing Advance if the related Mortgagor has not made such payment and if the failure to make such Servicing Advance would result in the loss of the related Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or foreclosure as result of a tax lien; provided, however, that each Servicer shall be required to make such Servicing Advances only to the extent that such Servicing Advances, in the good faith judgment of such Servicer, will be recoverable by such Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, or otherwise out of the proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan. Any cost incurred by a Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.09 of this Agreement, and agree that no Servicing Advance shall be rejected or disallowed by any party unless it has been shown that such Servicing Advance was not made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties understand and agree that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (1) the Master Servicer shall not approve the reimbursement of any Servicing Advance made with respect to such Mortgage Loan prior to the Cut-off Date (each, a “Pre-Cut-off Date Advance”) unless and until it has received a Servicing Advance Schedule listing the amount of Pre-Cut-off Date Advances made in respect of such Mortgage Loan from (a) the related Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loans that were transferred to such Servicer prior to the Cut-off Date and/or (b) the Depositor with respect to any Mortgage Loans that were transferred to the related Servicer after the Cut-off Date, (2) the aggregate Pre-Cut-off Date Advances reimbursable hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not exceed the amount of Pre-Cut-off Date Advances for such Mortgage Loan shown on the Servicing Advance Schedule delivered to the Master Servicer, (3) the Depositor shall be deemed to have agreed with and approved the Pre-Cut-off Date Advances shown on any Servicing Advance Schedule furnished to the Master Servicer, and (4) the Master Servicer will have no liability to the Depositor, the related Servicer or any other Person, including any Certificateholder, for approving reimbursement of related Pre-Cut-off Date Advances so long as the aggregate amount of such advances reimbursed hereunder does not exceed of the amount of Pre-Cut-off Date Advances for such Mortgage Loan shown on the Servicing Advance Schedule.

Each Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of a First Mortgage Loan on a Mortgaged Property, provided that the following requirements are met:

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

(ii) the interest rate for the loan evidencing the refinanced First Mortgage Loan is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate on the loan evidencing the existing First Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and

(iii) the mortgage loan evidencing the refinanced First Mortgage Loan is not subject to negative amortization.

Each Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Properties related to Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer as often as deemed necessary by such Servicer in such Servicer’s sole discretion, to assure itself that the value of such Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, each Servicer shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each Servicer shall keep a written or electronic report of each such inspection.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Servicer may make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and no Servicer shall permit any modification with respect to any related Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such related Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement, the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any related Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.

In the event that the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to a Mortgage Loan contain provisions requiring the related Mortgagor to arbitrate disputes (at the option of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust), the Trustee hereby authorizes the related Servicer to waive the Trustee’s right or option to arbitrate disputes and to send written notice of such waiver to the Mortgagor, although the Mortgagor may still require arbitration at its option.

Each Servicer will fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors on a monthly basis.

SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between a Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

(a) Each Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Sub- Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided that such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder and the related Servicer shall cause any Sub-Servicer to comply with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, to provide the information required to be delivered under Sections 3.17, 3.18 and 3.19 hereof), to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicer were the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Sub-Servicer and delivering to the Master Servicer any annual statement of compliance, assessment of compliance, attestation report and Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx related certification as and when required to be delivered. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through such Servicer or otherwise, the related Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the related Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by a Servicer shall contain a provision giving the successor Servicer the option to terminate such agreement in the event a successor Servicer is appointed. All actions of each Sub-Servicer performed pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the related Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the related Servicer.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Servicer shall be entitled to outsource one or more separate servicing functions to a Person (each, a “Subcontractor”) that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Sub-Servicer, so long as such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of such Servicer’s obligation to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to such Subcontractor. The related Servicer shall promptly, upon request, provide to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor a written description (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the related Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to provide the information in clauses (i) or (ii) of this subsection until such time that the applicable assessment of compliance is due pursuant to Section 3.18 of this Agreement. The use by a Servicer of any such Subcontractor shall not release such Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and such Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of such Subcontractor as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of such Servicer, and such Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subcontractor from such Servicer’s own funds.

(c) As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the related Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.17, 3.18 and 3.19 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any Depositor any assessment of compliance, attestation report and Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx related certification required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 3.17, 3.18 and 3.19, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the related Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Sub-Servicer or a Subcontractor regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Sub-Servicer or a Subcontractor to the related Servicer.

SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that the related Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be terminated as soon as is reasonably possible by any successor to the related Servicer (which may be the Trustee or the Master Servicer) without fee or, in the event a termination fee exists, such fee shall be payable by the related Servicer from its own funds without reimbursement therefor, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the related Servicer (or any successor to the related Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans (including termination due to a Servicer Event of Default). Each Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Sub-Servicer and Subcontractor for indemnification of such Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable, by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

SECTION 3.04. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer, Subcontractor, Trustee or the Certificateholders.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer or an Subcontractor shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable, and the related Servicer alone and the Master Servicer, Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor except as set forth in Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.05. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by Successor Servicer.

In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of a Servicer hereunder by a successor Servicer (which may be the Trustee or the Master Servicer) pursuant to Section 8.02 of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that such Servicer’s rights and obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between such Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by such successor Servicer without act or deed on the part of such successor Servicer; provided, however, that any successor Servicer may terminate the Sub-Servicer.

Each Servicer shall, upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer, but at its own expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

The Servicing Fee payable to any such successor servicer shall be payable from payments received on the Mortgage Loans in the amount and in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.06. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

Each Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the related Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, each Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note related to a Mortgage Loan for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to this clause shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder and provided, further, that any such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence granted to a Mortgagor by a Servicer in connection with its servicing of the related First Mortgage Loan shall not be considered relevant to a determination of whether such Servicer has acted consistently with the terms and standards of this Agreement, so long as in such Servicer’s determination such action is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the related Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the related Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices may waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the related Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action). Each Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.

SECTION 3.07. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.

In connection with an Escrow Mortgage Loan or a Mortgage Loan that in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices becomes an Escrow Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The related Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event later than the second Business Day after the deposit of good funds into the clearing account, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made by the related Servicer only to (i) effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse itself out of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.11 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) for application to restore or repair the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 3.11; (v) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account or, only to the extent not required to be paid to the related Mortgagors, to pay itself interest on balances in the Servicing Account; or (vi) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the related Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article X. As part of its servicing duties, each Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Servicer shall be obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not require such payments but each Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated to make Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01 and Section 3.11. In the event a Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts, any provision to the contrary notwithstanding.

With respect to Escrow Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall ascertain and estimate Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the related Servicer (i) shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and the related Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being imposed, the related Servicer shall, promptly and to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property unless the related Servicer determines the advance to be nonrecoverable. Each Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments subject to its determination of recoverability.

SECTION 3.08. Collection Accounts and Distribution Account.

(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, each Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more “Collection Accounts”, held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, each Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after such Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the related Collection Account, in no event later than two Business Days after the deposit of good funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it on or subsequent to the Cut-off Date other than amounts attributable to a Due Date on or prior to the Cut-off Date:

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

(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee and any Prepayment Interest Excess) on each related Mortgage Loan;

(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property) and all Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgage Loans;

(iv) any amounts required to be deposited by the related Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the related Collection Account;

(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the related Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.11(a) of this Agreement in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;

(vi) any Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount delivered to the related Servicer and all proceeds (net of amounts payable or reimbursable to the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator) of Mortgage Loans purchased in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.13 or Section 10.01; and

(vii) any Prepayment Charges collected by the related Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans or amounts required to be deposited by the related Servicer in connection with a breach of its obligations under Section 2.05.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the related Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be deposited by the related Servicer in the related Collection Account and may be retained by the related Servicer as additional compensation. In the event a Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the related Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, each Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 noon New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the related Collection Account and the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected by the related Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the related Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advance Financing Person pursuant to Section 3.25 of this Agreement. If the balance on deposit in a Collection Account exceeds $100,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and such Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the related Servicer shall, on or before 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from such Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the related Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Sponsor pursuant to Section 3.09 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto or shall establish a separate Collection Account (which shall also be an Eligible Account) and withdraw from the existing Collection Account the amount on deposit therein in excess of $100,000 and deposit such excess in the newly created Collection Account.

With respect to any remittance received by the Securities Administrator on the Servicer Remittance Date on which such payment was due, the Securities Administrator shall send written notice thereof to the related Servicer. The related Servicer shall pay to the Securities Administrator interest on any such late payment by such Servicer at an annual rate equal to Prime Rate (as defined in The Wall Street Journal) plus one percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the related Servicer to the Securities Administrator on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Servicer Remittance Date and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by the related Servicer of any such interest, or the failure of the Securities Administrator to notify the related Servicer of such interest, shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the related Servicer.

(c) Funds in the Collection Accounts and funds in the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.10. Each Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Securities Administrator shall give notice to the Servicers and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

(d) Funds held in a Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the related Servicer in immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account. In the event a Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Securities Administrator withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In no event shall the Securities Administrator incur liability as a result of withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of a Servicer in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, each Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator no later than the Servicer Remittance Date the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) below:

(i) any P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 5.03 of this Agreement;

(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.21(d) or 3.21(f) of this Agreement in connection with any related REO Property;

(iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement; and

(iii) subject to Section 3.13(d) of this Agreement, to pay itself any unpaid Servicing Fees and reimburse itself any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such related Mortgage Loan or rental and other income from the related REO Property;

(iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee or portion thereof payable to the Servicer) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the related Collection Account;

(v) to pay to itself or the Sponsor, as the case may be, with respect to each related Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.13(c) of this Agreement all amounts received thereon not included in the Purchase Price or the Substitution Shortfall Amount;

(vi) to reimburse itself (including any successor to the related Servicer) for

(A) any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously made by it which the related Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.03 provided however, that no Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made prior to the Cut-off Date if such Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance constitutes a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance of this Agreement; or

(B) any unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent not recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan under clause (iii) of this Agreement;

(vii) to reimburse itself or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to itself or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 7.03 of this Agreement;

(viii) to reimburse itself or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the related Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation;

(ix) to pay, or to reimburse itself for advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.13(b) of this Agreement;

(xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Accounts pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement.

Each Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the related Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) above.

(b) The Securities Administrator shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:

(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 5.01 of this Agreement;

SECTION 3.10. Investment of Funds in the Investment Accounts.

(a) Each Servicer may direct, by means of written directions (which may be standing directions), any depository institution maintaining the related Collection Account to invest the funds in such Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.10, an “Investment Account”) in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is the obligor on such Permitted Investment. Amounts in the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments as directed in writing by the Master Servicer and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession over each such investment in the Distribution Account and, subject to subsection (b) below, the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in a Collection Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the party with investment discretion over such Investment Account shall:

(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon receipt by such party of written notice from the related Servicer that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in a Collection Account, shall be for the benefit of such Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.09. Each Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account maintained by it the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss. All earnings and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall remit from its own funds for deposit into the Distribution Account the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the Distribution Account.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 9.01 and Section 9.02(a)(v), shall, at the written direction of the related Servicer, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

(d) The Trustee, the Master Servicer or their respective Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee or the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or 3.10 or otherwise payable in respect of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses. Such additional compensation shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund.

SECTION 3.11. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance, Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage and Primary Mortgage Insurance.

(a) The terms of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood and hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies are not maintained, the related Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of the current principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the amount necessary to compensate fully for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. Each Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance on each REO Property with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related First Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. Each Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by a Servicer under any such policies remaining after application of any such amounts to any related First Mortgage Loan and application of amounts to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note shall be deposited in the related Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.21, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by a Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

In the event that the related Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide or otherwise acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac insuring against hazard losses on all of the related Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the Mortgaged Properties, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the related Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.11, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the related Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the related Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b) Each Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the related Mortgage Loans, unless the related Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Each Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the related Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Each Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of such Servicer, has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to such Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee.

(c) A Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Master Servicer prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, each Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds in excess of $10,000:

(i) such Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(ii) such Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens; and

(iii) pending repairs or restoration, such Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds in the related Escrow Account, if any.

If the Trustee is named as an additional loss payee, the related Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Trustee.

SECTION 3.12. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

Each Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance of any related Mortgaged Property by any related Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that no Servicer shall exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If a Servicer reasonably believes that it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, such Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Each Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the related Servicer for mortgage loans similar to the related Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or substitution, the related Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. No Servicer shall take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by a Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by such Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. Each Servicer shall notify the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, no Servicer shall be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the related Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.12, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

SECTION 3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) (i) Each Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.06. With respect to such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default, each Servicer will decide whether to (i) foreclose upon the Mortgaged Properties securing such Mortgage Loans, (ii) write off the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as bad debt, (iii) take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) accept a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or permit a short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate refinancing transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property), (v) arrange for a repayment plan, or (vi) agree to a modification in accordance with this Agreement. In connection with such decision, the related Servicer shall take such action as (i) such Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (ii) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (iii) such Servicer shall determine consistently with Accepted Servicing Practices to be in the best interest of the Trustee and Certificateholders, provided, that actions taken by a Servicer in connection with its servicing of the related First Mortgage Loan shall not be considered relevant to a determination of whether such Servicer has met the standard set forth in this clause (iii) so long as in such Servicer’s determination such action is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders and (iv) is consistent with the requirements of the insurer under any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement; provided, however, that such Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine in its sole discretion (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the related Collection Account). Each Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicers as contemplated in Sections 3.09 and 3.21. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the related Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is one hundred twenty (120) days delinquent, the related Servicer shall obtain a broker’s price opinion with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain a total indebtedness balance (including, but not limited to, unpaid principal, interest, escrows, taxes and expenses) for any related First Lien. The cost of obtaining any such broker’s price opinion shall be reimbursable to the related Servicer as a Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 3.09. After obtaining the related broker’s price opinion, the related Servicer will determine whether any Significant Subsequent Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property. If the related Servicer determines that (x) no Significant Subsequent Recovery is possible or (y) the potential Subsequent Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related Servicer in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is insufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, it may, at its discretion, charge off such delinquent Mortgage Loan in accordance with subsections (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) below.

(iii) With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if the related Servicer determines based on the broker’s price opinion obtained under paragraph (a)(ii) above and other relevant considerations that (x) no Significant Subsequent Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property or (y) the potential Subsequent Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related Servicer in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is insufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, it will be obligated to charge off the related Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days delinquent. Once a Mortgage Loan has been charged off, the related Servicer will discontinue making P&I Advances, the related Servicer will not be entitled to any additional servicing compensation (except as described in paragraphs(a)(ii) or (a)(iv) of this Section 3.13), the Charged Off Loan will give rise to a Realized Loss, and the related Servicer will follow the procedures described in paragraph (a)(iv) below. If the related Servicer determines that (x) a Significant Subsequent Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the Mortgaged Property and (y) the potential Subsequent Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related Servicer in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is sufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, such Servicer may continue to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances on the related Mortgage Loan that has become 180 days delinquent and will notify the Credit Risk Manager of that decision.

(iv) Any Mortgage Loan that becomes a Charged Off Loan may continue to be serviced by the related Servicer for the Certificateholders using Special Servicing Practices. The related Servicer will accrue, but not be entitled to any Servicing Fees and reimbursement of expenses in connection with such Charged Off Loans, except to the extent of funds available from the aggregate amount of recoveries on all Charged Off Loans. Such aggregate recovery amounts on Charged Off Loans shall be paid to the related Servicer first, as reimbursement of any outstanding and unpaid expenses, and second, as any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees. The Servicers will only be entitled to previously accrued Servicing Fees and expenses on any such Charged Off Loans. The Servicers will not be entitled to receive any future unaccrued Servicing Fees or expenses from collections on such Charged Off Loans. Any Charged Off Loan serviced using Special Servicing Practices shall be so serviced until the Mortgage Loan Release Date described below. Any amounts received on such Charged Off Loans received prior to the Mortgage Loan Release Date will be treated as Subsequent Recoveries and included in the Available Distribution Amount.

On the date (the “Mortgage Loan Release Date”) which is no more than six months after the date on which a Servicer begins servicing any Charged Off Loans using Special Servicing Practices, unless Subsequent Recoveries are anticipated by the related Servicer on a particular Charged Off Loan (in which case the Mortgage Loan Release Date will be delayed until all such anticipated Subsequent Recoveries are received), such Charged Off Loan will be released from the Trust Fund, will no longer be an asset of any Trust REMIC, and will be transferred to the Class CE-2 Certificateholders, without recourse, and thereafter (i) the Class CE-2 Certificateholders will be entitled to any amounts subsequently received in respect of any such Released Loans, (ii) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE-2 Certificates may designate any servicer to service any such Released Loan and (iii) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE-2 Certificates may sell any such Released Loan to a third party. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if at any time after a Mortgage Loan has been Charged Off and prior to six months after the date on which a Servicer begins servicing such Charged Off Loan using Special Servicing Practices, the related Servicer determines that there will not be any Subsequent Recoveries on such Charged Off Loan under any circumstances, such Servicer may release such Charged Off Loan to the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE-2 Certificates in accordance with the provisions set forth in the previous sentence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the procedures described above in this subsection 3.13(a)(iv) relating to the treatment of Charged Off Loans may be modified at any time at the discretion of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE-1 Certificates, with the consent of the related Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that in no event shall the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE-1 Certificates change the fee structure relating to Charged Off Loans in a manner that would cause fees to be paid to the related Servicer other than from recoveries on Charged Off Loans.

The Master Servicer shall track collections received by the Servicers on any Charged Off Loans based upon loan level data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers on the date on which the Servicer provides its Servicer Report pursuant to Section 5.03(a), identifying the Charged Off Loans as of the related Due Period that the related Servicer will continue to service until the related Mortgage Loan Release Date using Special Servicing Practices. On each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall verify, based on the recovery and expense information provided by the related Servicer (i) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees to be paid to such Servicer and expenses to be reimbursed to the related on such Charged Off Loans as of the related Due Period and (ii) the amount of Subsequent Recoveries on such Charged Off Loans for such Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely, without independent verification, on the loan level data provided by the Servicers that identifies the recovery amounts and the outstanding and unpaid expenses on any Charged Off Loan in order to verify the amount in clause (ii) of the previous sentence. The Master Servicer will be responsible for independently verifying the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence to be paid to the Servicers.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.13 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the related Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, such Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless such Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.13 shall be advanced by the related Servicer, subject to the related Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account as provided in Section 3.09(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the related Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

If the related Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the related Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the related Servicer, subject to the related Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account as provided in Sections 3.09(a)(iii) or 3.09(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the related Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

(c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the related Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the related Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the related Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iii). The portion of the recovery allocated to interest (net of unpaid Servicing Fees) and the portion of the recovery allocated to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the related Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing or P&I Advances in accordance with Section 3.09(a)(ii) and any other amounts reimbursable to the related Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09, and second, as part of the amounts to be transferred to the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(b). Excess proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the related Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.15.

SECTION 3.14. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the related Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the related Servicer will promptly furnish to the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a request for release substantially in the form attached to the respective Custodial Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the related Collection Account have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the related Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall within five (5) Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer and the applicable Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the related Servicer is authorized to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the related Collection Account, unless it shall represent a Servicing Advance.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the related Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of the related Servicer, and delivery to the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form attached to the respective Custodial Agreement (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release within five (5) Business Days the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the related Servicer. Such trust receipt shall obligate the related Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the related Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the related Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Principal Prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may request release of the related Mortgage File from the applicable Custodian, in accordance with the provisions of the respective Custodial Agreement, in the event the related Servicer fails to do so.

Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents prepared and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably acceptable to it and necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. So long as no Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the related Servicer shall have the right to execute any and all such court pleadings, requests and other documents as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of the Trustee.

SECTION 3.15. Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, each Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee (or, with respect to Ocwen, the Ocwen Servicing Fee and with respect to GMAC, the GMAC Servicing Fee) with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced by it payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.22. In addition, each Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.09(a)(iii), Section 3.09(a)(vi) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.21. The right to receive the Servicing Fee(or, with respect to Ocwen, the Ocwen Servicing Fee and with respect to GMAC, the GMAC Servicing Fee) may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of a Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the extent permitted herein.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the related Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the related Servicer. Each Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iv) to withdraw from the related Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.21(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.10. In addition, the related Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the related Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(x), any Prepayment Interest Excess with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by it as additional servicing compensation. Each Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

SECTION 3.16. Collection Account Statements.

Upon request, not later than fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date, each Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor a statement prepared by the institution at which the related Collection Account is maintained setting forth the status of the related Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the related Collection Account. Copies of such statement and any similar statements provided by each Servicer shall be provided by the Securities Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by each Servicer to the Securities Administrator.

SECTION 3.17. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a) Each Servicer shall deliver (and shall cause any Additional Servicer engaged by it to deliver) to the Master Servicer and the Depositor on or before March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such Servicer’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (B) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such Officer’s Certificate from a Servicer or any Additional Servicer engaged by a Servicer, the Depositor shall review such Officer’s Certificate and, if applicable, consult with each such party, as applicable, as to the nature of any failures by such party, in the fulfillment of any of such Servicer’s obligations hereunder or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, under such other applicable agreement.

(b) Failure of a Servicer to comply timely with this Section 3.17 shall be deemed a Servicer Event of Default as to such Servicer, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, and the Master Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of such Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating such Servicer for the same (other than the Servicer’s right to reimbursement of xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances and Servicing Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees in the manner provided in this Agreement). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

SECTION 3.18. Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.

(a) By March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, each Servicer, at its own expense, shall furnish, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to furnish, each at its own expense, to the Master Servicer, a report on an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains (A) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (B) a statement that such party used the Relevant Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (C) such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 5.06(d), including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Servicer nor any Servicing Function Participant engaged by a Servicer shall be required to deliver any assessments until April 15^th in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year.

(b) By March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, each Servicer, at its own expense, shall cause, and each Servicer shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to such Servicer or such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Master Servicer, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Servicer nor any Servicing Function Participant engaged by a Servicer shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of such reports until April 15^th in any given year so long as such Servicer has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding fiscal year.

(c) Failure of a Servicer to comply timely with this Section 3.18 shall be deemed a Servicer Event of Default as to such Servicer, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, and the Master Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of such Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating such Servicer for the same (other than the Servicer’s right to reimbursement of xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances and Servicing Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees in the manner provided for in this Agreement). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

SECTION 3.19. Annual Certification; Additional Information.

(a) Each Servicer shall and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to, provide to the Person who signs the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by March 15 of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act a certification (each, a “Back-Up Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. The officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. In the event a Servicer or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable Sub-Servicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 3.19 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, as the case may be.

(b) Each Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and their respective officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by such Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section 3.19 or such Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or resignation of the parties hereto or the termination of this Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor, then the related Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of such Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.19.

(i) any Servicer Event of Default under the terms of this Agreement, any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of such Servicer, such Servicer’s engagement of any Sub-Servicer to perform or assist in the performance of any of such Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, any material litigation involving such Servicer that is material to the Certificateholders, and to the extent disclosure is required under Regulation AB, any affiliation or other significant relationship between such Servicer and the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Swap Provider, Baltimore American Mortgage Corporation, Pinnacle Financial Corporation, The New York Mortgage Company, LLC, First Financial Equities, Inc., NC Capital Corporation, Ameriquest Mortgage Company and Fremont Investment & Loan.

Each Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificate Owner, access to the documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the related Servicer designated by it. Nothing in this Section 3.20 shall limit the obligation of the related Servicer to comply with any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the related Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.20 shall require the related Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. No Servicer shall be required to make copies of or ship documents to any Person unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

SECTION 3.21. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The related Servicer, on behalf of REMIC I, shall either sell any REO Property by the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which REMIC I acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than sixty (60) days before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire an extension of the three-year grace period, unless the related Servicer had delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such REO Property subsequent to three (3) years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC created hereunder of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The related Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC created hereunder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

(b) Each Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. Each Servicer shall be permitted to allow the related Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to the maintenance of separate ledgers for each REO Property. Each Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the related REO Account.

(c) Each Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it as are consistent with the manner in which such Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by it or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as such Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, each Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one (1) Business Day after such Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, (i) with respect to any REO Property serviced by Ocwen, in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the deposit of good funds into the clearing account, (ii) and with respect to any REO Property serviced by GMAC, in no event later than the close of business on the related Determination Date, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the related Servicer shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the related Servicer would make such advances if the related Servicer owned the REO Property and if in the related Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the related Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall not:

(iv) enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(v) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

(vi) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(vii) allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;

unless, in any such case, the related Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided to the related Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by REMIC I, in which case the related Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

The related Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

(viii) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ix) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the related Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(x) none of the provisions of this Section 3.21(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the related Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(xi) the related Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

The related Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the related Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The related Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the related Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.15 is sufficient to pay such fees. Any such agreement shall include a provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by any successor servicer (including the Master Servicer) without fee, in the event the related shall for any reason, no longer be the Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans (including termination due to a Servicer Event of Default).

(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.21(c), the related Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the related Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.21(c) or this Section 3.21(d).

(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.21(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the related Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the related Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to the related Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

(g) The related Servicer shall file information returns (and shall provide a certification of a Servicing Officer to the Master Servicer that such filings have been made) with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

SECTION 3.22. Obligations of the Servicers in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

Each Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 noon New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls attributable to prepayments in full on the related Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from voluntary Principal Prepayments received by the related Servicer during the portion of the Prepayment Period occurring between the fifteenth day of the month preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs and ending on the last day of such month and (ii) the aggregate amount of the related Servicing Fees payable to related Servicer on such Distribution Date with respect to the related Mortgage Loans. No Servicer shall have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Securities Administrator in respect of this Section 3.22. No Servicer shall be obligated to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 3.22 with respect to shortfalls resulting from the application of the Relief Act.

SECTION 3.23. Reserved.

SECTION 3.24. Reserve Fund.

(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain a separate, segregated trust account entitled, “Reserve Fund, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the registered holders of ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-SL1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates.” On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Reserve Fund $1,000.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section 5.01(a)(5)(vi), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B-1 Certificates and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B-1 Certificates, in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 5.01(a). If no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts are payable on a Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit, into the Reserve Fund on behalf of the Class CE-1 Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders, an amount such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $1,000.

(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE-1 Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC III to the Holders of the Class CE-1 Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B-1 Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders or their designees. The Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B-1 Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

(d) By accepting a Class CE-1 Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder hereby agrees that the Securities Administrator will deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE-1 Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder further agrees that its agreement to such action by the Securities Administrator is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

(e) At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE-1 Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund. In no event shall the Securities Administrator be liable for any investments made pursuant to this clause (e). If the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE-1 Certificates fail to provide investment instructions, funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested by the Securities Administrator without liability for interest or compensation.

(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Class A Certificateholders, the Mezzanine Certificateholders and Class B-1 Certificateholders to receive payments from the Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of $10,000 with respect to the Certificates covered by the Swap Agreement.

SECTION 3.25. Advance Facility.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) each Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into an advance facility (“Advance Facility”) but no more than two Advance Facilities with respect to Ocwen, and no more than one Advance Facility, with respect to GMAC, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, under which (A) the related Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to an advancing person (an “Advance Financing Person”) its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (B) an Advance Financing Person agrees to finance some or all P&I Advances or Servicing Advances required to be made by the related Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Ocwen is hereby authorized to assign its rights to the Servicing Fee (which rights shall terminate upon the resignation, termination or removal of Ocwen pursuant to the terms of this Agreement); it being understood that neither the Trust Fund nor any party hereto shall have a right or claim (including without limitation any right of offset) to any amounts for reimbursement of P&I Advances or Servicing Advances so assigned or to the portion of the Servicing Fee so assigned. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 3.25(a), no consent of the Depositor, Trustee, Master Servicer, Certificateholders or any other party is required before a Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility, but such Servicer shall provide notice to the Depositor, Master Servicer and the Trustee of the existence of any such Advance Facility promptly upon the consummation thereof stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of any Person (“Servicer’s Assignee”) who has the right to receive amounts in reimbursement of previously xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances or Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an advancing person agrees to finance P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances on such Servicer’s behalf, such Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility.

(b) Reimbursement amounts (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgage Loans for which the related Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the related Servicer had made the related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).

(c) The related Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer (with, upon request, a copy to the Trustee) a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any advancing person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.

(d) Reimbursement amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to outstanding xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first out” (FIFO) basis. The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require the related Servicer to provide to the related advancing person or its designee loan-by-loan information with respect to each such reimbursement amount distributed to such advancing person or Advance Facility trustee on each Distribution Date, to enable the advancing person or Advance Facility trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each such reimbursement amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The related Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the advancing person or Advance Facility trustee for all P&I Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the related Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an advancing person.

(e) Any amendment to this Section 3.25 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.25, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Depositor, and the related Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, provided, that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is authorized hereunder and has no material adverse effect on the Certificateholders, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund; provided, further, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency (instead of obtaining an Opinion of Counsel to such effect) stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such rating letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the related Servicer shall notify the lender under such facility in writing that: (a) the P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to the lender are obligations owed to the related Servicer on a non-recourse basis payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and neither the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee nor the Trust are otherwise obligated or liable to repay any P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the lender; (b) the related Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the lender the applicable amounts collected by it as Servicing Fees and as reimbursement for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the lender, as applicable, subject to the restrictions and priorities created in this Agreement; and (c) neither the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility to calculate any amount payable under an Advance Facility or to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the related Servicer and the lender or the payment of any amount under an Advance Facility.

(f) The related Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust Fund for any cost, liability or expense relating to the Advance Facility including, without limitation, a claim, pending or threatened, by an Advance Financing Person.

SECTION 3.26. Indemnification.

Each Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, from, and hold the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by any such Person by reason of such Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of such Servicer’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of related Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator. Any payment hereunder made by the related Servicer to any such Person shall be from the related Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from REMIC I therefor.

SECTION 4.01. Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall, from and after the Closing Date supervise, monitor and oversee the obligations of the Servicers under this Agreement to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration.

Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicers as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers and shall cause the Servicers to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicers under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Servicers’ servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 5.03 and any other information and statements required to be provided by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms hereof based on information provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers.

The Trustee shall furnish the related Servicer and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to it necessary or appropriate to enable the related Servicer and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer, the related Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Person’s misuse of any such power of attorney.

The Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, none of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator shall be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s, the Custodians’ or the Securities Administrator’s actual costs.

In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel stating that such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined in Section 11.01(f).

SECTION 4.03. Monitoring of Servicers.

(a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Servicers with their respective duties under this Agreement. In the review of the related Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the related Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the related Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute a Servicer Event of Default, or an event of default, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Servicer, the Sponsor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicers under this Agreement and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, subject to this Section and Article VIII, the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims 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, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the related Servicer (or from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account if the related Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master Servicer, from the Servicer immediately preceding the Master Servicer), including without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party 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 related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

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

(e) If the Master Servicer acts as successor to a Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the terminated Servicer.

SECTION 4.04. Fidelity Bond.

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

SECTION 4.05. Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article XI, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 4.03, shall not permit the related Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as the case may be. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney prepared and delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it by empowering the Master Servicer or the related 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 this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents prepared and delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it, as the Master Servicer or the related Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Person’s use or misuse of any such power of attorney). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.10. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

SECTION 4.06. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

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

SECTION 4.07. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or the Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall, and, subject to Section 3.20 of this Agreement shall cause the related Servicer to provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account.

SECTION 4.08. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer under this Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.11 of the Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

SECTION 4.09. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Master Servicer shall enforce each Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement to prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under any insurance policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable insurance policy need not be so or remitted.

SECTION 4.10. Reserved.

SECTION 4.11. Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.

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

SECTION 4.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 4.13. Compensation for the Master Servicer.

As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and the income from investment of or earnings on the funds from time to time in the Distribution Account, as provided in Section 3.10. The compensation payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced in accordance with Section 4.18. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 4.14. REO Property.

(a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to sell, any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Further, the Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to sell any REO Property prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by REMIC I unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied by the related Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the related Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable extension period. The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by this Agreement in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

(b) The Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the REO Account.

SECTION 4.15. Master Servicer Annual Statement of Compliance.

(a) The Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall deliver (and the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator shall cause any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant (other than any Subcontractors) engaged by it to deliver) to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator, and in the case of the Master Servicer, to the Trustee, on or before March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such party’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (B) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such Officer’s Certificate, the Depositor shall review such Officer’s Certificate and, if applicable, consult with each such party, as applicable, as to the nature of any failures by such party, in the fulfillment of any of such party’s obligations hereunder or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, under such other applicable agreement.

(b) Failure of the Master Servicer to comply timely with this Section 4.15 shall be deemed a Master Servicer Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same.

(c) Copies of such Master Servicer annual statements of compliance shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the Master Servicer’s expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such statement).

SECTION 4.16. Master Servicer Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.

(a) By March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, each at its own expense, shall furnish, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to furnish, each at its own expense, to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, a report on an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains (A) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (B) a statement that such party used the Relevant Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (C) such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 5.06(d), including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period.

(b) No later than the end of each fiscal year for the Trust for which a 10-K is required to be filed, the Master Servicer shall forward to the Securities Administrator the name of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant. When the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator (or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by them) submit their assessments to the Securities Administrator, such parties will also at such time include the assessment (and attestation pursuant to Section 4.17) of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it.

This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

(e) Delivery under this Section 4.16 of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Master Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).

SECTION 4.17. Master Servicer Attestation Reports.

(a) By March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, each at its own expense, shall cause, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, or such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language.

None of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of such reports until April 15 in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding fiscal year.

(c) Failure of the Master Servicer to comply timely with this Section 4.17 shall be deemed a Master Servicer Event of Default, automatically, without notice and without any cure period, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

SECTION 4.18. Annual Certification.

Each Form 10-K required to be filed for the Trust pursuant to Section 5.06 shall include a certification (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification”) required to be included therewith pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. Each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall provide, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to, provide to the Person who signs the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by March 15 of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and otherwise within a reasonable period of time upon request, a certification (each, a “Back-Up Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. The officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. In the event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by parties is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 4.18 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, as the case may be.

In the event of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Distribution Account not later than the related Distribution Date an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the related Servicer with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls attributable to Principal Prepayments in full on the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date, and not so paid by the related Servicer and (ii) the aggregate amount of the compensation payable to the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.13, without reimbursement therefor.

SECTION 4.20. Prepayment Penalty Verification.

On or prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, each Servicer shall provide in an electronic format acceptable to the Master Servicer the data necessary for the Master Servicer to perform its verification duties set forth in this Section 4.19. The Master Servicer or a third party reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Depositor (the “Verification Agent”) will perform such verification duties and will use its best efforts to issue its findings in a report (the “Verification Report”) delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days following the related Distribution Date; provided, however, that if the Verification Agent is unable to issue the Verification Report within ten (10) Business Days following the Distribution Date, the Verification Agent may issue and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor the Verification Report upon the completion of its verification duties. The Master Servicer shall forward the Verification Report to the related Servicer and shall notify the related Servicer if the Master Servicer has determined that the related Servicer did not deliver the appropriate Prepayment Charge to the Securities Administrator in accordance with this Agreement. Such written notification from the Master Servicer shall include the loan number, prepayment penalty code and prepayment penalty amount as calculated by the Master Servicer or the Verification Agent, as applicable, of each Mortgage Loan for which there is a discrepancy. If the related Servicer agrees with the verified amounts, the related Servicer shall adjust the immediately succeeding Servicer Report and the amount remitted to the Securities Administrator with respect to prepayments accordingly. If the related Servicer disagrees with the determination of the Master Servicer, the related Servicer shall, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Verification Report, notify the Master Servicer of such disagreement and provide the Master Servicer with detailed information to support its position. The related Servicer and the Master Servicer shall cooperate to resolve any discrepancy on or prior to the immediately succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, and the related Servicer will indicate the effect of such resolution on the related Servicer Report and shall adjust the amount remitted with respect to prepayments on such Servicer Remittance Date accordingly.

During such time as the related Servicer and the Master Servicer are resolving discrepancies with respect to the Prepayment Charges, no payments in respect of any disputed Prepayment Charges will be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to deposit such payments, unless otherwise required pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof. In connection with such duties, the Master Servicer shall be able to rely solely on the information provided to it by the related Servicer in accordance with this Section. The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for verifying the accuracy of any of the information provided to it by the related Servicer.

(c) As described in Section 5.01(a)(3), (4), (5) and (6) above, Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments (other than Swap Termination Payments resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) payable by the Supplemental Interest Trust to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement shall be deducted from the Interest Remittance Amount, and to the extent of any such remaining amounts due, from the Principal Remittance Amount, prior to any distributions to the Certificateholders. On each Distribution Date, such amounts will be remitted to the Supplemental Interest Trust, first to make any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such Distribution Date, and second to make any Swap Termination Payment (not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement for such Distribution Date.

If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 5.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.

(b) The amount of P&I Advances to be made by the related Servicer on any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 5.03(d), (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fees), due during the related Due Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment Period and as to which an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property deposited in the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.21 of this Agreement for distribution on such Distribution Date; provided, however, the Servicers shall not be required to make P&I Advances with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls, or with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in excess of its obligations under Section 3.22. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the related Servicer if such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. In addition, the Servicers shall not be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is 120 days delinquent. The determination by the related Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a certification of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Master Servicer.

SECTION 5.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.

(a) Prior to the Determination Date, each Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer and any related REO Property and include in the monthly remittance report provided to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator (substantially in the form of Schedule 4 hereto) such information as is reasonably available to the Servicers as the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator may reasonably require so as to enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans and oversee the servicing by the Servicers and the Securities Administrator to fulfill its obligations hereunder with respect to securities and tax reporting, which shall include, but not be limited to: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, each Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period.

(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to Section 5.04(c) on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow, second, to the Class CE-1 Certificates, third, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-1 Certificates has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class M-9 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-9 Certificates has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the Class M-8 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-8 Certificates has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-7 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-7 Certificates has been reduced to zero, seventh, to the Class M-6 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-6 Certificates has been reduced to zero, eighth, to the Class M-5 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-5 Certificates has been reduced to zero, ninth, to the Class M-4 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-4 Certificates has been reduced to zero, tenth, to the Class M-3 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-3 Certificates has been reduced to zero, eleventh, to the Class M-2 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-2 Certificates has been reduced to zero and twelfth, to the Class M-1A Certificates and Class M-1B Certificates, on a pro rata basis based on the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such class has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date.

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate or Class B-1 Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE-1 Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(6). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or Class P Certificates.

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

In addition, in the event that a Servicer receives any Subsequent Recoveries with respect to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it, the related Servicer shall deposit such funds into the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08. If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04 and not previously reimbursed to such Class of Subordinate Certificates with Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(5). The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to sequentially increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04 and not previously reimbursed to such Class of Subordinate Certificates with Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(5). Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

(c) (i) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date, first to REMIC I Regular Interest A-I and, second, to REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest I-63-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests.

(ii) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee, based solely on the instructions of the Securities Administrator, on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC II Regular Interest AA and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest AA and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest B-1 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest B-1 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-9 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-9 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-8 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-8 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-7 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-7 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-6 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-6 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-5 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-5 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-4 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-4 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-3 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-3 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-2 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-2 has been reduced to zero; and twelfth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, 98.00% REMIC II Regular Interest M-1A and REMIC II Regular Interest M-1B, 1% and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ 1.00%, until the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest M-1A and REMIC II Regular Interest M-1B have been reduced to zero.

If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 5.06(c)(ii).

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c) (i) On or prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust under the Exchange Act.

(ii) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor.

(ii) As set forth on Exhibit G hereto, no later than March 15 of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, (i) the parties to the ACE Securities Corp., Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-SL1 transaction shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.

If the Form 10-K contains additional reporting items, the Form 10-K will be sent to the Depositor for review and approval prior to execution by the Master Servicer. No later than the Business Day prior to the date specified in the next sentence, the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall notify the Securities Administrator of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K. No later than 12:00 noon New York time on the 4^th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing deadline, a senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 5.06(c)(ii). Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of their respective duties under this Section 5.06(d) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant (other than any Subcontractor)) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 5.06(d), Section 3.17, Section 3.18, Section 3.19, Section 4.16, Section 4.17 and Section 4.18. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(e) The Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 5.06 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.01, this Section 5.06 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.

SECTION 5.07. Supplemental Interest Trust.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee a separate account for the benefit of the holders of the Offered Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”). The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other monies, including, without limitation, other monies of the Trustee or of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw all amounts which were deposited in the Supplemental Interest Trust as specifically described in this Agreement and the Swap Agreement and distribute such amounts in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01 of this Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute any such amounts to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement, first to pay any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider for such Distribution Date, and second to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event.

(c) The Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class CE-1 Certificates shall be the beneficial owner of the Supplemental Interest Trust, subject to the power of the Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under this Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Securities Administrator shall, at the written direction of the majority of the Class CE-1 Certificateholders, invest amounts on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust in Permitted Investments. In the absence of written direction to the Securities Administrator from the majority of the Class CE-1 Certificateholders, all funds in the Supplemental Interest Trust shall remain uninvested. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute, not in respect of any REMIC, any interest earned on the Supplemental Interest Trust to the Holders of the Class CE-1Certificates.

(d) For federal income tax purposes, amounts paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(3), (4) and (5) shall first be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class IO Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount. For federal income tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust will be a disregarded entity.

(e) The Securities Administrator shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE-1, Class CE-2 and Residual Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE-1 Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE-1, Class CE-2 and Residual Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the Regular Interest ownership of which is represented by such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of such Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE-1, Class CE-2, Class P and Residual Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to such Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE-1, Class CE-2, Class P and Residual Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of the Regular Interest ownership of which is represented by such Certificates, and as having been paid by such Holders to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of a Regular Interest in REMIC III, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.

(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the holders of the Offered Certificates to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be assigned a value of $10,000.

(g) In the event that the Swap Agreement is terminated prior to the Distribution Date in April 2011, the Sponsor shall use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor swap provider using any Swap Termination Payments paid by the Swap Provider. If the Sponsor is unable to locate a qualified successor swap provider, any such Swap Termination Payments will be remitted to the Securities Administrator for payment to the holders of the Offered Certificates in accordance with Section 5.01.

SECTION 5.08. Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.

For federal income tax purposes, each holder of an Offered Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts or the obligation to make payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will account for payments to each Offered Certificate and Class B-1 Certificate as follows: each Offered Certificate and Class B-1 Certificate will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’s obligation under the Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Net Swap Payment), will be made by one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Offered Certificate or Class B-1 Certificate. Resecuritization of any Offered Certificate or Class B-1 Certificate in a REMIC will be permissible only if the Securities Administrator hereunder is the trustee/securities administrator in such resecuritization.

The REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to an Offered Certificate or Class B-1 Certificate will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the Swap Notional Amount of the Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable solely from amounts otherwise payable to the Class CE-1 Certificates. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to an Offered Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Offered Certificate.

ARTICLE VI

THE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 6.01. The Certificates.

(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III.

The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-6. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and authenticated by the Securities Administrator and delivered by the Trustee to and upon the written order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust by the Securities Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Securities Administrator shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Securities Administrator is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicers and, if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Securities Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Securities Administrator or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.

(c) The Class B-1, Class CE-1 and Class CE-2 Certificates initially offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form of a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form (each, a “Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the Securities Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream. Beneficial interests in each Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream; provided, however, that such interests may be exchanged for interests in a Definitive Certificate in accordance with the requirements described in Section 6.02. After the expiration of the Release Date, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in the related permanent global certificate of the same Class (each, a “Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.02. Each Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate shall be deposited with the Securities Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository.

The Class B-1 Certificates offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”) in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or institutional investors that are accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“Institutional Accredited Investors”) will be issued in the form of Book-Entry Certificates.

(d) The Class CE-1 Certificates, Class CE-2 Certificates and Class P Certificates offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A will be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates.

(e) The Trustee, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Securities Administrator may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Securities Administrator in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Securities Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. With respect to a Global Certificate, the related Certificate Owner (other than a Holder of a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate) may request that its interest in a Global Certificate be exchanged for a Definitive Certificate. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, or the Global Certificates by the Depository accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Securities Administrator shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000 except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate, or a Global Certificate, as applicable in an amount less than $10,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the 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 Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

SECTION 6.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

(b) No transfer of any Class B-1 Certificate, Class CE-1 Certificate, Class CE-2 Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Class B-1 Certificate, Class CE-1 Certificate, Class CE-2 Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor), the Securities Administrator shall require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1; (ii) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2; (iii) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance on Regulation S, a written certification from the prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and (iv) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Servicers), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. Neither of the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Servicers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

A holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate must provide Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, with a certificate in the form of Annex A to Exhibit B-1 hereto certifying that the beneficial owner of the interest in such Global Certificate is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S), and Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, must provide to the Trustee and Securities Administrator a certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto prior to (i) the payment of interest or principal with respect to such holder’s beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate and (ii) any exchange of such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate.

(c) No transfer of a Class CE-1 Certificate, Class CE-2 Certificate, Class P Certificate or a Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”) unless the Securities Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Servicers may rely, which establishes to the satisfaction of the Securities Administrator that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trust Fund. An Opinion of Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Securities Administrator, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

For so long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence, each beneficial owner of a Offered Certificate or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of the Offered Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii)(A) it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41, as amended from time to time (the “Exemption”) and (B) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate and the separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust are eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 (for transactions by independent “qualified professional asset managers”), 91-38 (for transactions by bank collective investment funds), 90-1 (for transactions by insurance company pooled separate accounts), 95-60 (for transactions by insurance company general accounts) or 96-23 (for transactions effected by “in-house asset managers”) in the case of a Mezzanine Certificate or PTCE 95-60 in the case of a Class B Certificate.

Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate, a Class B Certificate or any interest therein that is acquired after the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) in the case of a Mezzanine Certificate, it has acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 94-84 or FAN 97-03E, as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the “Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an “insurance company general account” (as defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the conditions described in this Section 6.02(c), 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 any certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the conditions described in this Section 6.02(c) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

(d) vi) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Securities Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 6.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.

(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if an authorized officer of the Securities Administrator who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2) to the Securities Administrator stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Securities Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”

(ii) The Securities Administrator will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Securities Administrator as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

(iii) (1)If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator 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 6.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Securities Administrator on such terms as the Securities Administrator may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Securities Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Securities Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Securities Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Securities Administrator or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(iv) The Securities Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be charged or collected by the Securities Administrator.

(v) The provisions of this Section 6.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:

(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and

(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause any Trust REMIC, as the case may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or a Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two separate certificates, each representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged.

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

(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its customary procedures.

SECTION 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof, and (ii) there is delivered to Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities Administrator, shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

The Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 6.05. Certain Available Information.

On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Class B-1 Certificate, Class CE-1 Certificate, Class CE-2 Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of such Certificate. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery thereof to the Securities Administrator, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Securities Administrator of such event and shall deliver to the Securities Administrator ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Securities Administrator shall maintain at its office as set forth in Section 12.05 hereof and shall make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate or any Person identified to the Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a Holder or prospective transferee of a Class B-1 Certificate, Class CE-1 Certificate, Class CE-2 Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate, the related private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form most recently provided to the Securities Administrator; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 5.02 since the Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date and (C) any copies of all Officers’ Certificates of the Servicers since the Closing Date delivered to the Master Servicer to evidence such Person’s determination that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Securities Administrator upon request at the expense of the Person requesting the same.

The Depositor, any Servicer or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, a Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, such Servicer or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, such Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that any successor to a Servicer or the Master Servicer shall meet the eligibility requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (iii) of the last paragraph of Section 8.02(a) or Section 7.06, as applicable.

SECTION 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer and Others.

None of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, a Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein or against any specific liability imposed on any such Person pursuant hereto or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, with respect to GMAC or gross negligence with respect to each party other than GMAC, in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any Credit Risk Management Agreement or any loss, liability or expense incurred other than by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the related Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account or the Distribution Account as and to the extent provided in Article III and Article IV, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the related Collection Account and the Distribution Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Servicer shall be liable for any actions or inactions prior to the Cut-off Date of any prior servicer of the related Mortgage Loans and the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any action or inaction of any Servicer, except to the extent expressly provided herein, or the Credit Risk Management Agreement.

SECTION 7.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Servicers.

(a) Except as expressly provided herein, no Servicer shall neither assign all or substantially all of its rights under this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate all or substantially all of its duties hereunder nor sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in each case, there must be delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing or sale or disposition of assets will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Servicer, without the consent of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, may retain third-party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without limitation hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration, collection services and similar functions, provided, however, that the retention of such contractors by a Servicer shall not limit the obligation of such Servicer to service the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, or (ii) upon the related Servicer’s written proposal of a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to each of the Sponsor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. No such resignation under clause (i) above shall become effective unless evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of such Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No such resignation of a Servicer under clause (ii) shall be effective unless:

(i) the proposed successor Servicer is (1) an affiliate of the Master Servicer that services mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans in the jurisdictions in which the related Mortgaged Properties are located or (2) the proposed successor Servicer has a rating of at least “Above Average” by S&P and either a rating of at least “RPS2” by Fitch or a rating of at least “SQ2” by Xxxxx’x;

(iii) the proposed successor Servicer has a net worth of at least $25,000,000.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no resignation of a Servicer shall become effective until the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer shall have assumed such Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, no Servicer shall assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by such Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit a Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to such Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.02, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.05. Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer meeting the criteria specified in Section 7.06 shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.06. Assignment of Master Servicing.

The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accept in writing such assignment and delegation and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder (a) shall have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (b) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (c) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Independent counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising out of acts or omissions prior to the effective date thereof.

SECTION 7.07. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Servicers and the Master Servicer.

Each of the Master Servicer and the Servicers shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing or Subcontracting Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable shall afford) the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable) in respect of the related Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer or the related Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable) responsible for such obligations, and the Master Servicer shall have access to all such records maintained by the related Servicer and any Sub-Servicers or Subcontractors. Upon request, each of the Master Servicer and such Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s or Subcontractor’s) most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Master Servicer’s or such Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor possesses). To the extent the Depositor and the Trustee are made aware by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer that such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer’s or the related Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) to its legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies and the Certificateholders, (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Trustee from sources other than the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, (iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any and all information (A) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to comply with any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the related Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 7.07 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall require the related Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. No Servicer shall be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer and the Servicers under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 7.08. Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.

For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicers and/or Master Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof to the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager. The Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into any Credit Risk Management Agreement necessary to effect the foregoing.

SECTION 7.09. Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.

Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by the Servicer under the related Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith in its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the related Servicer pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.

SECTION 7.10. Removal of the Credit Risk Manager.

The Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager by Certificateholders holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights in the Trust Fund, in the exercise of its or their sole discretion. The Certificateholders shall provide written notice of the Credit Risk Manager’s removal to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk Manager, with a copy to the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer.

SECTION 7.11. Transfer of Servicing by Sponsor.

The Sponsor may, at its option, transfer the servicing responsibilities of Ocwen and/or GMAC as a Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans at any time without cause. No such transfer shall become effective unless and until a successor to Ocwen or GMAC, as applicable, shall have been appointed to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No appointment shall be effective unless (i) such successor meets the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 7.04 and (ii) all amounts reimbursable to Ocwen or GMAC, as applicable, under this Agreement shall have been paid by the successor appointed pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.11 or by the Sponsor including without limitation, all xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances and Servicing Advances made by Ocwen or GMAC, as applicable, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and all out-of-pocket expenses of the related Servicer incurred in connection with the transfer of servicing to such successor. The Sponsor shall provide a copy of the written confirmation of the Rating Agencies to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Sponsor 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 by Ocwen or GMAC, as applicable, hereunder. The Sponsor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(ii) any failure on the part of a Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of such Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the material breach by a Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.05 of the Agreement, which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to such Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that in the case of a failure that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the cure period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days if such Servicer can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee that the Servicer is diligently pursuing remedial action; or

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against a Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of (i) ninety (90) days with respect to Ocwen or (ii) 60 days with respect to GMAC; or

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

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

(vi) failure by a Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 3.17, 3.18 or 3.19; or

(vii) any failure of a Servicer to make any P&I Advance on any Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 5.03 which continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer Remittance Date; or

(viii) failure of the Servicer to maintain at least an “average” rating from the Rating Agencies.

If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) or (viii) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the defaulting Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the defaulting Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the defaulting Servicer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the defaulting Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. Subject to Section 8.02 of this Agreement, on or after the receipt by the defaulting Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the defaulting Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the defaulting Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The defaulting Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Master Servicer with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the defaulting Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the defaulting Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one (1) Business Day to the Master Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the defaulting Servicer to the related Collection Account held by or on behalf of the defaulting Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or any related REO Property (provided, however, that the defaulting Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of P&I Advances, Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03 of this Agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). Reimbursement of xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances, Servicing Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees shall be made on a first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis no later than the Servicer Remittance Date. For purposes of this Section 8.01(a), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the defaulting Servicer (or from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account if the defaulting Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the defaulting Servicer, including without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party 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 related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

(b) “Master Servicer Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(i) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.04, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

(ii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

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

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

(v) failure by the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 8.01(b), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, 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 $25,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer.

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

Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

SECTION 8.02. Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of such Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03 of this Agreement and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.10(b) of this Agreement) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, such Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03 of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03 of this Agreement; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by such Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 8.01 shall not be considered a default by the Master Servicer as successor to such Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that (1) it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 120 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to the Master Servicer or any successor Servicer appointed in accordance with the following provisions and (2) any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by such Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 8.01 of this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Master Servicer as successor to such Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the related Mortgage Loans to which the terminated Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Person that satisfies the eligibility criteria set forth below as the successor to the terminated Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee or the Master Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

Any successor Servicer appointed under this Agreement must (i) be an established mortgage loan servicing institution that is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such successor Servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the related Servicer (other than liabilities of the related Servicer hereunder incurred prior to termination of the related Servicer under Section 8.01 herein) under this Agreement as if originally named as a party to this Agreement.

(b) (1) All servicing transfer costs (including, without limitation, servicing transfer costs of the type described in Section 8.02(a) of this Agreement and incurred by the Trustee, the Master Servicer and any successor Servicer under paragraph (b)(2) below) in connection with the termination of a Servicer shall be paid by the terminated Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, the successor Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust Fund.

(2) No appointment of a successor to a Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of such Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the related Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the related Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

SECTION 8.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination of a Servicer or the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (b) or any appointment of a successor to a Servicer or the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02 of this Agreement, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b) Not later than the later of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of Default or a Master Servicer Event of Default or five (5) days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

SECTION 8.04. Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.

The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 8.01(a) of this Agreement may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE IX

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR

SECTION 9.01. Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively. During the continuance of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the Securities Administrator will provide notice to the Trustee thereof and the Trustee will provide notice to the Certificateholders.

The Trustee shall promptly remit to the related Servicer any complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (collectively, the “Notices”) delivered to the Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder and relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided than any such notice (i) is delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, (ii) contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless such Notice is delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and such Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

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 misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.02. Certain Matters Affecting Trustee and Securities Administrator.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 of this Agreement:

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

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

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator by such Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such action;

(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

(viii) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default, Master Servicer Event of Default or Servicer 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Certificates and this Agreement; and

(ix) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute the Swap Agreement on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust in the form presented to it by the Depositor and shall have no responsibility for the contents of the Swap Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties contained therein. Any funds payable by the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement shall be paid from funds of the Supplemental Interest Trust in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Swap Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Swap Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required to make any payments to the counterparty under the Swap Agreement.

(h) The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit either REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

SECTION 12.10. Survival of Indemnification.

Any and all indemnities to be provided by any party to this Agreement shall survive the termination and resignation of any party hereto and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.11. Intention of the Parties and Interpretation. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.17, 3.18, 3.19, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 5.06 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff of the SEC from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests made by the Sponsor or the Depositor for delivery of additional or different information as the Sponsor or the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB.

Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the calculation of interest payable with respect to this Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) One-Month LIBOR plus [_____]%, in the case of each Distribution Date through and including the Distribution Date on which the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, or One-Month LIBOR plus [_____]%, in the case of any Distribution Date thereafter and (ii) the applicable Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date.

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

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Servicers with the consent of the Swap Provider and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Prior to the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, any transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to make the representations in Section 6.02(c) of the Agreement.

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

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

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

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

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

ACE SECURITIES CORP.

This certifies that ________________ is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE-1 Certificates as of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class CE-1 Certificates in REMIC III created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among ACE Securities Corp., as depositor (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), GMAC Mortgage Corporation as a servicer (“GMAC”), Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC as a servicer (“Ocwen,” together with GMAC, each a “Servicer” and together the “Servicers”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Notional Balance hereof at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Pass-Through Rate as set forth in the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25^th day of each month or, if such 25^th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25^th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class CE-1Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class CE-1 Certificates the aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is in excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE-1 Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

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

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (and the properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

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

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class R Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Securities Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as representing the beneficial ownership of the residual interests in each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 6.02 of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion of the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

1. As indicated below, the undersigned is the President, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President or other executive officer of the entity purchasing the Certificates (the “Transferee”).

2. In connection with purchases by the Transferee, the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144A”) because (i) the Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $________________¹ in securities (except for the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the Transferee satisfies the criteria in the category marked below.

___	Corporation, etc. The Transferee is a corporation (other than a bank, savings and loan association or similar institution), Massachusetts or similar business trust, partnership, or any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

___	Bank. The Transferee (a) is a national bank or banking institution organized under the laws of any State, territory or the District of Columbia, the business of which is substantially confined to banking and is supervised by the State or territorial banking commission or similar official or is a foreign bank or equivalent institution, and (b) has an audited net worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto.

___	Savings and Loan. The Transferee (a) is a savings and loan association, building and loan association, cooperative bank, homestead association or similar institution, which is supervised and examined by a State or Federal authority having supervision over any such institutions or is a foreign savings and loan association or equivalent institution and (b) has an audited net worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto.

___	Insurance Company. The Transferee is an insurance company whose primary and predominant business activity is the writing of insurance or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance companies and which is subject to supervision by the insurance commissioner or a similar official or agency of a State, territory or the District of Columbia.

___	State or Local Plan. The Transferee is a plan established and maintained by a State, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of the State or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees.

___	ERISA Plan. The Transferee is an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

___	Investment Advisor The Transferee is an investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

¹	Transferee must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least $100,000,000 in securities unless Transferee is a dealer, and, in that case, Transferee must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least $10,000,000 in securities.

3. The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iv) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (v) loan participations, (vi) repurchase agreements, (vii) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (viii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

5. The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

___	___	Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates
Yes	No	only for the Transferee’s own account?

6. If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, the Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.

7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

STATE OF NEW YORK	)
	)	ss.:
COUNTY OF NEW YORK	)

___________________________ being duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants as follows:

I am a _____________________ of _______________________________ (the “Owner”) a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of _________________________, the record owner of ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-SL1 Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Class R Certificates (the “Class R Certificates”), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Class R Certificates were issued.

The Owner (i) is and will be a “Permitted Transferee” as of ____________________. ____ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A “Permitted Transferee” is any person other than a “disqualified organization” or a possession of the United States. For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any real electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income.

The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R Certificates after April 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the transferor of a “noneconomic residual interest” will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Class R Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)

The Owner is aware that the Securities Administrator will not register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to the Securities Administrator, among other things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.

The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.

The Owner’s taxpayer identification number is ________________.

The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 6.02(d) which authorize the Securities Administrator to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Securities Administrator in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section 6.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.

The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

10.

The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificates.

11.

The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Class R Certificates.

12.

The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding.

13.

The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with the intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.

14.

The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations required by Section 6.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such representations are false.

15.

The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Securities Administrator an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class R Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a “Permitted Transferee”.

16.

The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

17.

The Owner of the Class R Certificate, hereby agrees that in the event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and transfer to the Holders of the Class CE-1, Class CE-2 and the Class P Certificates any amounts in excess of par received in connection with such termination. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class CE-1, Class CE-2 and the Class P Certificates. This agreement shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the undersigned in the Class R Certificate. In connection with any transfer of the Class R Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement substantially similar to this clause from any subsequent owner.

This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated January 27, 2006, between DB Structured Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”) and ACE Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”).

Preliminary Statement

The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter identified) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced by a single series of mortgage pass-through certificates designated as ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-SL1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”). The Certificates will consist of sixteen classes of certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement for ACE Securities Corp.

The Purchaser will sell the Class A, Class M-1A, Class M-1B, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8 and Class M-9 Certificates (collectively, the “Mezzanine Certificates”) to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

The Purchaser will sell the Class B-1 Certificates to DBSI pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated as of January 26, 2006 between Purchaser and DBSI. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase. The Seller hereby sells, and the Purchaser hereby purchases, on January 27, 2006 (the “Closing Date”), certain conventional, one- to four-family, fixed-rate, second lien, residential mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on January 1, 2006 (the “Cut-off Date”) of approximately $421,957,378 (the “Closing Balance”), after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received, including the right to any Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans.

SECTION 2. Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) that shall describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement, including the Prepayment Charges.

All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller.

(c) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

* Please contact the Mortgage Loan Seller for this information.

SECTION 4. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.

(a) Possession of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell to the Purchaser, without recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, including the related Prepayment Charges. The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the Purchaser.

(b) Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Seller will, on or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following documents for each Mortgage Loan:

(i) the original Mortgage Note, including any riders thereto, endorsed in blank, with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee;

(ii) the original Mortgage or a certified copy thereof, including any riders thereto, with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon, and in the case of each MOM Loan, the original Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Loan and either language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination, the original Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS®, with evidence of recording indicated thereon;

(iii) an original Assignment of Mortgage executed in blank;

(iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage, or a certified copy or copies thereof, showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the last Person assigning the Mortgage;

(v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if any;

(vi) the original lender’s title insurance policy, together with all endorsements or riders that were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a second lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor;

(vii) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage Note, if any; and

(viii) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage, if any.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, with respect to a maximum of approximately 1.00% of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 4(b)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser within three (3) Business Days; and if any document referred to in Section 4(b)(ii) or 4(b)(iv) above has been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Seller hereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof by or on behalf of the Seller of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original.

In the event that the original lender’s title insurance policy has not yet been issued, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company. The Seller shall deliver such original title insurance policy to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser promptly upon receipt by the Seller, if any.

Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee, transferee or designee.

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

(c) Acceptance of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered after the Closing Date, within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all required documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Closing Schedule.

(d) Transfer of Interest in Agreements. The Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, and the assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller.

(e) Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination the Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller during normal business hours before the Closing Date and within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the requirements of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, and covenants, that:

(i) The Seller is a Delaware corporation with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted by it to the extent material to the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein. The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller.

SECTION 18. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 19. Third Party Beneficiary. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that DBSI and each of its respective successors and assigns shall have all the rights of a third-party beneficiary in respect of Section 12 of this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly enforce the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement.

(2) Evaluation and Understanding.

(i) DBAG is acting for its own account and HSBC Bank USA, National Association is acting as trustee for the Supplemental Interest Trust created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and not for its own account. Each party has the capacity to evaluate (internally or through independent professional advice) the Transaction and has made its own decision to enter into the Transaction;

(ii) It understands the terms, conditions and risks of the Transaction and is willing and able to accept those terms and conditions and to assume those risks, financially and otherwise; and

(3) Purpose. It is an “eligible swap participant” as such term is defined in Section 35.1(b)(2) of the regulations (17 C.F.R 35) promulgated under, and an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section 1(a)(12) of, the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and it is entering into the Transaction for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments, hedging its underlying assets or liabilities or in connection with a line of business.

(4) Status of Parties. The other party is not acting as an agent, fiduciary or advisor for it in respect of the Transaction.”

9) Set-off. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other existing or future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment or performance of any obligation between it and the other party hereunder against any obligation between it and the other party under any other agreements. The provisions for Set-off set forth in Section 6(e) of the Agreement shall not apply for purposes of this Transaction.

10) Transfer, Amendment and Assignment. No transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement, assignment or other modification of this Transaction shall be permitted by either party unless each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) and Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) has been provided notice of the same and confirms in writing (including by facsimile transmission) that it will not downgrade, qualify, withdraw or otherwise modify its then-current rating of the Certificates.

11) Additional Termination Events. The following Additional Termination Events will apply, in each case with respect Counterparty as the sole Affected Party (unless otherwise provided below):

(i)

DBAG fails to comply with the Rating Agency Downgrade provisions as set forth in Section 12 below. For all purposes of this Agreement, DBAG shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to the occurrence of a Termination Event described in this Section 11(i).

(ii)

(iv)

If, at any time, the Master Servicer purchases the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred and Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect thereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding Section 6(b)(iv) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, only Counterparty shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination Event.

(v)

If, upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event (as defined in Part 13 below) DBAG has not, within 15 days after such Swap Disclosure Event complied with any of the provisions set forth in Part 13(iii) below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to DBAG and DBAG shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.

12) Rating Agency Downgrade. In the event that DBAG’s short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “A-1” by S&P or, if DBAG has both a long-term credit rating and a short-term credit rating from Moody’s (and together with S&P, the “Swap Rating Agencies”), and either its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “A2” by Moody’s or its short-term credit rating is withdrawn or reduced below “P-1” by Moody’s (and together with S&P, the “Swap Rating Agencies”, and such rating thresholds, “Approved Rating Thresholds”), then within 30 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade, DBAG shall, subject to the Rating Agency Condition and at its own expense, either (i) cause another entity to replace DBAG as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, DBAG’s obligations under this Agreement, (iii) post collateral which will be sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates, or (iv) establish any other arrangement satisfactory to the Swap Rating Agencies, which will be sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event that DBAG’s long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below “BBB-” or its short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below “A-3” or is withdrawn by S&P, then within 10 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade, DBAG shall, subject to the Rating Agency Condition and at its own expense, either (i) cause another entity to replace DBAG as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement or (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, DBAG’s obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of this provision, “Rating Agency Condition” means, with respect to any particular proposed act or omission to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must consult with each of the Swap Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and receive from each of the Swap Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Certificates.

13) Compliance with Regulation AB.

(i)

(“ACE”) is required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (“Regulation AB”), to disclose certain financial information regarding DBAG or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate “significant percentage” of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts between DBAG or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

(ii)

It shall be a swap disclosure event (“Swap Disclosure Event”) if, on any Business Day after the date hereof, ACE requests from DBAG the applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation AB (such request to be based on a reasonable determination by ACE, in good faith, that such information is required under Regulation AB) (the “Swap Financial Disclosure”).

(iii)

Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event, DBAG, at its own expense, shall (a) provide to ACE the Swap Financial Disclosure, (b) secure another entity to replace DBAG as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement which entity (or a guarantor therefore) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds and which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition and which entity is able to comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (c) obtain a guaranty of the DBAG’s obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of the DBAG, subject to the Rating Agency Condition, that is able to comply with the financial information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB, such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to the Swap Provider, and cause such affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(iv)

DBAG agrees that, in the event that DBAG provides Swap Financial Disclosure to ACE in accordance with Part 13(iii)(a) or causes its affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure to ACE in accordance with Part 13(iii)(c), it will indemnify and hold harmless ACE, its respective directors or officers and any person controlling ACE, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Swap Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state in such Swap Financial Disclosure a material fact, when considered in conjunction with any other information regarding Party A or the derivative instrument being written by Party A in the final prospectus for ACE-2006-SL1, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
