(2)

The Class X/N Certificates will receive 100% of amounts received in respect of the Class X/N Interest.

In addition to the above Certificates, the Trust Fund shall issue two additional Classes of Certificates, designated as the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates. For federal income tax purposes, in the event that the beneficial ownership of the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates is held by separate persons for tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the Class N Certificates as debt of the Class X Certificateholders for federal income tax purposes and shall not treat such Class of Certificates as an interest in any REMIC created hereunder. In the event that the beneficial ownership of the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates is held by the same person, the Trustee shall treat the Class N Certificates as not having been issued for federal income tax purposes so that the entire economic entitlement of the Class N Certificates and Class X Certificates (excluding the Class X Certificates right to receive amounts from the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account and Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account) will represent a “regular interest” in REMIC 5. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Pass-Through Rate, the Notional Amount for the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates. The Class N Certificates shall not be transferred to a non-United States Person unless the non-United States Person holds a proportionate amount of the Class X Certificates at the time of transfer. A non-United States Person that holds the Class X Certificates shall not transfer the Class X Certificates unless immediately after such transfer such non-United States Person holds no Class N Certificates. The transfer restrictions contained in the two immediately preceding sentences shall cease to be in effect upon the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trust) to the effect that such transfers would not cause the Trust to be liable for withholding taxes under Code Section 1441 on amounts due the Class N Certificates. The Class X Certificates shall not be pledged or used to support debt separate from 100% of the Class N Certificates unless either payments on the Class X Certificate do not bear a relationship to payments on such debt within the meaning of Code Section 7701(i) or the debt has the same maturity as the Class N Certificates within the meaning of Code Section 7701(i).

As to any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee, for such Eligible 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 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer and the Guarantor, with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to deliver) to the Servicer and the Guarantor a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan in the Collection Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan. With respect to Group I Mortgage Loans only, the Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Guarantor not less than 10 Business Days prior to the related Determination Date of its intention to effect such substitution, and if such notice from the Seller to the Guarantor shall contain all information that the Guarantor may require to conduct its due diligence evaluation of each mortgage loan proposed to be substituted (including the complete and final data file of each such mortgage loan), then the Guarantor shall grant or withhold its approval of the mortgage loans proposed to be substituted not less than 3 Business Days prior to such Determination Date. The Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders and the Guarantor that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04, in each case as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate net of the Servicing Fee Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

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

(e)

Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, the Guarantor 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 Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. In addition, upon discovery that a Mortgage Loan is defective in a manner that would cause it to be a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Treasury regulations relating to REMICs, the Seller shall cure the defect or make the required purchase or substitution no later than 90 days after the discovery of the defect. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a), if made by the Seller. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 and preparation and delivery of the certifications in the form of Exhibit F-1, Exhibit F-2 and Exhibit F-3 shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be paid by the Servicer.

Section 2.04

With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 that are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trustee or the Custodian that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the Guarantor then, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Section that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the Guarantor, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and the Guarantor, and in no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery. Within ninety days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing or materially defective documentation or any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall promptly deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects, or in the event such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute for it one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, in either case, in accordance with Section 2.03.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Guarantor and the Depositor notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(a) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitute the sole remedies available to the Depositor, the Guarantor and to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.04.

Servicer to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement including, in the case of FHA Loans and VA Loans, taking all actions that a mortgagee is permitted or required to take by the FHA or the VA, as the case may be (the “Servicing Standards”).

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Certificateholders or the Guarantor; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make future advances and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, and the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Guarantor), (ii) in the case of FHA Loans and VA Loans, affect the FHA Insurance Contract or VA Guaranty Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) affect adversely the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (iv) cause any REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations and (y) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances, and other necessary advances, and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Applicable Regulations, and shall provide to the Mortgagor any reports required to be provided to them thereby. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any misuse of such power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection therewith.

If the PMI Insurer fails to make a payment under the PMI Policy as a result of a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer shall, at its sole option, either (i) deposit an amount into the Collection Account equal to the portion of the claim not paid by the PMI Insurer from the Servicer’s own funds without any right of reimbursement or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. Similarly, if, as a result of a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, a Mortgage Loan should lose the benefit on FHA Insurance Contract or VA Guaranty, the Servicer shall, at its sole option, either (i) deposit an amount into the Collection Account equal to the portion that would have been paid under such contract or guaranty or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price.

In servicing and administering FHA Loans and VA Loans, the Servicer shall comply strictly with the National Housing Act, the FHA Regulations, the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act and the VA Regulations and administrative guidelines issued thereunder or pursuant thereto (insofar as the same apply to any Mortgage Loan) and, to the extent permitted hereunder, promptly discharge all of the obligations of the mortgagee thereunder and under each Mortgage including the timely giving of notices, the essence hereof being that the full benefits of each FHA Insurance Contract and VA Guaranty Agreement inure to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions, the FHA Insurance Contracts and the VA Guaranty Agreements, where applicable, and the Certificateholders’ and the Guarantor’s reliance on the Servicer.

The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Guarantor and the Trustee of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge, to (i) assert a claim against the Trust Fund or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may not waive any prepayment penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Servicer determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such prepayment penalty, or (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law. In the event of a Principal Prepayment in full with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Guarantor and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit Q no later than the date on which the Servicer delivers the Remittance Report to the Trustee and the Trustee will make such Officer’s Certificate available on its website to the Class X Certificateholders. If the Servicer has waived or does not collect all or a portion of a prepayment penalty relating to a Principal Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of the Servicer, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall, within 90 days of the date on which the Principal Prepayment in full is remitted to the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee the amount of such prepayment penalty (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Distribution Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Trustee shall make available on its website to the Guarantor and the Depositor and the owner of the Class N and Class X Certificates, on a monthly basis, a statement setting forth the amounts received with respect to prepayment penalties.

Section 3.02

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

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

Section 3.03

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

In the event that any payment due under any Conventional Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders. In the event that any payment due under any FHA Loan becomes delinquent, the Servicer shall take all such actions as are in the best interests of the Certificateholders and permitted under any applicable FHA loss mitigation proceedings, including, but not limited to, requesting the FHA to accept an assignment of such FHA Loan, and, upon the Servicer’s determination that foreclosure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders, commencing foreclosure proceedings. With respect to each VA Loan, the Servicer shall diligently seek to mitigate losses by utilizing all remedies available in the VA Regulations. With respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall have the right to review the status of the related forbearance plan and, subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.01, may modify such forbearance plan; including, extending the Mortgage Loan repayment date for a period of one year or reducing the Mortgage Interest Rate up to 50 basis points.

In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as prudent mortgage servicers would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and consistent with Applicable Regulations and the servicing standards set forth in the Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer Guide, including, without limitation, advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance premiums with respect to first lien Mortgage Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not 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 Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or the Guarantor 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 the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards (who shall be acceptable to the Guarantor with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans), that:

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

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 Certificateholders and the Guarantor to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(ii).

If the Servicer determines as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor 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 Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor; provided that such determination shall be made with the Guarantor’s consent in the case of Group I Mortgage Loans. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(ii).

Section 3.04

Collection Account and Distribution Account.

(a)

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts and a Payment Clearing Account, held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders. Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. All funds collected or received by the Servicer shall be deposited initially into a Payment Clearing Account within one Business Day of receipt.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis within one Business Day of deposit in the Payment Clearing Account, and retain therein, the following payments and collections received or made by it after the Cut-off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans:

The foregoing requirements for deposit from the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, prepayment charges that are not prepayment penalties, and assumption fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account.

(b)

On behalf of the Trust Fund and the Trustee, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account by the close of business New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be deposited to the Distribution Account from a different source as provided herein) then on deposit in the Collection Account.

(c)

Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.25. The Servicer shall give notice to the Guarantor and the Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer, the Guarantor and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

(d)

In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to the Servicer any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account in respect of REMIC 1:

any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.07;

(ii)

Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of such receipt and deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as permitted hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.25 in connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Distribution Account.

Section 3.05

Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account and the Distribution Account.

(a) The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(i)

(ii)

to reimburse itself for Advances and Servicing Advances; the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent payments of (a) principal and/or interest respecting which any such Advance was made or (b) Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds respecting which any such Servicing Advance was made;

(iii)

to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Advances to the extent that such amounts are deemed to be Nonrecoverable Advances, and to reimburse itself for such amounts to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable and unreimbursed from the disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.13 hereof;

(iv)

to reimburse itself for any amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);

(v)

Section 3.06

Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Trustee upon request. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis within one Business Day of deposit in the Payment Clearing Account, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Section 3.07

Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire, flood and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement, (viii) to transfer to the Collection Account any insurance proceeds, or (ix) in the case of FHA Loans and VA Loans, for transfer to the Collection Account, fire and hazard insurance proceeds and Escrow Payments with respect to any Mortgage Loan where the FHA or VA, as the case may be, has directed application of such funds as a credit against the proceeds of the FHA Insurance Contract or the VA Guaranty Agreement. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.

In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 3.08

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder.

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

The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as mortgagee, will maintain in full force and effect (to the extent a Mortgage Loan has a Primary Insurance Policy) a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage will be maintained until the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or less. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such cancelled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 3.14, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 3.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.

Section 3.09

Transfer of Accounts.

The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Upon such transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Depositor, a certification or letter agreement, as the case may be, as required pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.06.

Section 3.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each first lien Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, (ii) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer or (iii) the amount required under applicable HUD/FHA regulations. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain on the REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantors, (x) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such property, (y) public liability insurance and, (z) to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is required to be maintained by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section 3.11

Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 3.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 3.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, which amount shall not be reimbursable to the Servicer from the Trust Fund. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Trustee or the Guarantor, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee and the Guarantor a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee and the Guarantor.

Section 3.12

Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer Guide. Upon request of the Trustee or the Guarantor, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the requesting party a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Guarantor.

Section 3.13

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a)

In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken (pursuant to a limited power of attorney to be provided by the Trustee to the Servicer) in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor, or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Trustee.

(b)

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property as soon as practicable, but no later than before the end of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request from the Internal Revenue Service, more than 60 days before the day on which the above-mentioned grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the above-mentioned grace period (the “Extended Period”), unless the Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not: (i) result in the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code; or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting any part of the Trust Fund 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 REO Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.05.

If the Servicer has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the 60-day period referred to in the preceding paragraph or if the Servicer has received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the 60-day period referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be. The Trustee shall sign any document or take any other action reasonably requested by the Servicer which would enable the Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of extension.

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders, the Guarantor and the Trust Fund 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 the related REMIC 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. The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Trustee and the Guarantor upon request. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, the Guarantor and the Trust Fund.

With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall account separately for each REO Property with respect to all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of such REO Property.

The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, on a daily basis, within one Business Day of deposit into the Payment Clearing Account, all revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the related REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Guarantor, on each Servicer Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Trustee or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall reasonably request.

The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the Certificateholders’ interests.

Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Servicer, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for distribution on the succeeding Servicer Remittance Date in accordance with Section 4.01.

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 and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Servicer to the effect that such sale shall not cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC).

The Holders of the Class R Certificates shall be deemed to have purchased the ownership interest held by the Holders of the Regular Certificates in any Liquidated Mortgage Loan. After such repurchase, the Servicer, if requested by such Certificateholders and if offered suitable indemnification and reimbursement for expenses may seek a deficiency judgment to the extent permitted by law against the Mortgagor under such Liquidated Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Holders of the Class R Certificates to the extent of any Realized Loss.

Section 3.14

Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements.

When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law or in the best interest of the Trust. An Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Servicer (which expense shall constitute a Servicing Advance) delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor to the foregoing effect shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief. In such event, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is 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 Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note; provided, that no such substitution should be permitted unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the related Mortgage File and which 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. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Monthly Payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

Section 3.15

Notification of Adjustments.

On each Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Rate Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and Applicable Regulations regarding Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Trustee and the Guarantor of all applicable data and information regarding such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments and the Servicer’s methods of implementing such Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer, the Guarantor or the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to adjust or has incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however, the Servicer shall be held harmless with respect to any Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments made by any servicer prior to the Servicer.

Section 3.16

Optional Purchases of Mortgage Loans by Servicer.

The Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) may, at its option, repurchase a Mortgage Loan or REO Property which becomes 120 or more days Delinquent or for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure, during the period commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter succeeding the calendar quarter in which the Initial Delinquency Date occurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan and ending on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter. If the Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) does not exercise its purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period specified in the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 120 days or more Delinquent and thereafter becomes 120 days Delinquent again. The “Initial Delinquency Date” of a Mortgage Loan shall mean the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 120 days Delinquent or, in the event such loan is a Re-Performing Mortgage Loan which was Delinquent 120 days or more as of the Cut-off Date, the date on which such Re-Performing Mortgage Loan first becomes an additional 30 days or more Delinquent. Prior to repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Servicer shall be required to continue to make monthly advances pursuant to Section 4.07. The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders or the Guarantor. The Servicer shall purchase such (i) delinquent Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price or (ii) the lesser of (a) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by an appraisal completed by an independent appraiser selected by the Servicer at the expense of the Servicer and (b) the unpaid Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate. Any such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall be accomplished by delivery to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account of the amount of the purchase price. The Trustee shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO Property to the Servicer to the extent necessary, including the prompt delivery of all documentation to the Servicer.

Section 3.17

Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.

(a)

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including any liquidation of such Mortgage Loan through foreclosure or otherwise, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian as the case may be) two executed copies of a completed “Request for Release” in the form of Exhibit E. Upon receipt of such Request for Release of Documents, the Trustee (or the Custodian as the case may be) shall promptly release the related Mortgage File, in trust to (i) the Servicer, or (ii) such other party identified in the related Request for Release. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Guarantor and the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to execute an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such 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 payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account. In lieu of executing any such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, the Servicer may prepare and submit to the Trustee a satisfaction (or assignment without recourse, if requested by the Person or Persons entitled thereto) in form for execution by the Trustee with all requisite information completed by the Servicer; in such event, the Trustee shall execute and acknowledge such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, and deliver the same with the related Mortgage File, as aforesaid.

(b)

From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable conversion of a Mortgage Loan or collection under any insurance policy relating to a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment or liquidation pursuant to which the related Mortgage File is released to an escrow agent or an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon written request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) of two executed copies of a “Request for Release” in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings, including, without limitation, an assignment without recourse, representation or warranty of the related Mortgage to the Servicer. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a Request for Release evidencing such liquidation, the receipt shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the Servicer.

(c)

Subject to Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the right to accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties subject to Mortgages and (iv) second mortgage subordination agreements. No application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless: (w) it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Guarantor (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions; (x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any release does not exceed the maximum Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio established in accordance with the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans; and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Servicing Officer’s certificate setting forth the action proposed to be taken in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested by the Servicer. A proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Servicing Officer’s certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 3.18

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including REO Properties). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain additional servicing compensation in the form of release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, modification or extension fees, late payment charges, or any other service-related fees, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Collection Account and similar items, to the extent collected from Mortgagors. Additionally, the Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fee, payable in accordance with Section 4.02.

Section 3.19

Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a)

The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Depositor, not later than 90 days following the end of the fiscal year of the Servicer which as of the Startup Day ends on the last day of December, commencing in 2002, a Servicing Officer’s certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such preceding fiscal year (or such shorter period in the case of the first such report) and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including the steps being taken by the Servicer to remedy such default.

(b)

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and their receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable, from information contained therein, including the Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 3.20

Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Reports.

(a)

Not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer commencing in 2003, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in either the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced by Xxxxxxx Mac, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the Guarantor, the Depositor and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer’s expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

(b)

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable, from information contained therein, including the Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(c)

The Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any and all reports, statements and information respecting the Trust which the Depositor determines are required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each such report, statement and information to be filed on or prior to the required filing date for such report, statement or information. Upon the request of the Trustee, each of the Seller, the Servicer, the Guarantor and the Depositor shall cooperate with the Trustee in the preparation of any such report and shall provide to the Trustee in a timely manner all such information or documentation as the Trustee may reasonably request in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under this Section.

Section 3.21

Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.

(a)

The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Guarantor, Certificateholders that are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the foregoing (which, in the case of supervisory agents and examiners, may be required by applicable state and federal regulations) access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.

(b)

If any Mortgage Loan (i) is in foreclosure, (ii) defaults on its first Monthly Payment following the Closing Date and remains delinquent for 60 days or more or (iii) becomes delinquent during the first six months of the term thereof and remains delinquent for 60 days or more or with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will forward to the Guarantor, upon reasonable request, copies of the contents of the related Mortgage File and all underwriting documentation with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)

The Guarantor will be permitted, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, at the office of the Servicer, to review copies of the contents of the Mortgage Files and the underwriting documentation that is required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant hereto with respect to 300 of the Mortgage Files (a “Mortgage Loan Sample”), in order to ascertain whether each such Mortgage Loan was purchased generally in accordance with the Seller’s underwriting criteria as set forth in the Information Circular. If, as a result of such investigation, the Guarantor determines (after the appeals process set forth in the Xxxxxxx Mac Single Family Seller/Servicer Guide) that more than 20% (by number) of the Mortgage Loans in such Mortgage Loan Sample were not so underwritten, the Servicer will permit the Guarantor to review an additional Mortgage Loan Sample in accordance with the same procedures until the Guarantor has reviewed a Mortgage Loan Sample that contains fewer than 20% (by number) of Mortgage Loans that were not purchased generally in accordance with the Seller’s underwriting criteria set forth in the Information Circular. Any out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Servicer related to such review shall be reimbursed by the Seller.

(d)

For a period of two years from the Closing Date, the Guarantor may contact the Seller to confirm that the Seller continues to actively engage in a program to purchase mortgage loans originated to low-income families and to obtain other non-proprietary information about the Seller’s activities that may assist the Guarantor in completing its own regulatory requirements. The Seller shall use its best efforts to provide such information to the Guarantor.

(e)

The Guarantor shall be entitled to access to the Mortgage Files within 90 days of any request therefore in order to compile the loan level data for HUD reporting.

Section 3.22

Maintenance of the PMI Policy.

The Servicer shall maintain the PMI Policy with respect to the MGIC Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the PMI Insurer Fee on a monthly basis from payments on account of interest on the MGIC Mortgage Loans.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims to the PMI Insurer under the PMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under such policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan that is a MGIC Mortgage Loan. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under the PMI Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account.

Section 3.23

Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Compensating Interest.

Not later than the close of business on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount (“Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date resulting from Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans during the related Prepayment Period and (B) 50% of its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Collection Period. Compensating Interest shall be applied to offset any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

Section 3.24

Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Interest Rates and Monthly Payments.

In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Interest Rates, Monthly Payments or Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Guarantor, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.

Section 3.25

Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account.

(a)

The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account and the Trustee may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.25, each, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such 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 Trustee 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 Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account) over each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee 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 an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall at the direction of the Servicer:

(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 determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee 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 in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as additional compensation for its duties as servicer. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account 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 income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee as additional compensation for its duties as trustee. The Trustee shall deposit in 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 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Guarantor or the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon).

Section 3.26

Liability of Servicer; Indemnification.

(a)

Subject to clause (b) below and Section 6.03, the Servicer (except the Trustee if it is required to succeed the Servicer hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the Guarantor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor and any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the Servicing Standards and this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor and each Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor and/or Certificateholder in respect of such claim. The provisions of this Section 3.26 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

(b)

None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Guarantor, or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Guarantor 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, the Seller, the Servicer, the Guarantor or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer for a breach of the Servicing Standard, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reasons of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Guarantor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Guarantor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person with respect to any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Guarantor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Guarantor 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 or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of its respective misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence, a breach of a representation or warranty hereunder or (in the case of the Servicer) a breach of the Servicing Standard in the performance of its respective duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Guarantor 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 expose it to any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Guarantor may in its discretion undertake any action related to its obligations hereunder 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 and the Guarantor hereunder.

Section 3.27

Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged Properties.

On or before the last day of February of each year beginning in 2003, the Servicer shall file the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of any Mortgaged Property required by Section 6050J of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service and provide an Officer’s Certificate certifying its compliance with this Section 3.27 to the Trustee. The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J.

Section 3.28

Protection of Assets.

(a)

Except for transactions and activities entered into in connection with the securitization that is the subject of this Agreement, the Trust is not authorized and has no power to:

(1)

borrow money or issue debt;

(2)

merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell assets; or

(3)

engage in any business or activities.

Section 3.29

LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account.

(a)

No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of 2002-CB4 Trust, C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2002-CB4.” On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account $1,000.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee has been directed by the Class X/N Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account (i) the amounts described in Section 4.02(b)(xx) plus (ii) the excess, if any of (a) the amount payable on the REMIC 3 Regular Certificate corresponding to the Class X/N Certificates on such Distribution Date over (b) the amount payable on the Class X/N Certificates on such Distribution Date, rather than distributing such amounts to the Class X/N Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Offered Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Offered Certificates and/or the Class B-3 Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.02(b). If no LIBOR Carryover Amounts are payable on a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account on behalf of the Class X/N Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class X/N Certificateholders, an amount such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $1,000. In addition to the foregoing, the amount on deposit in the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account will be increased by any payments received by the Trustee under the Cap Contract and deposited into the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account.

With respect to any Distribution Date on which a payment is to be made under the Cap Contract, if the notional amount set forth on the schedule to the Cap Contract for such Distribution Date exceeds the Certificate Principal Balance of the Offered Certificates for such Distribution Date (prior to any distributions of principal on the Offered Certificates on such Distribution Date), the amount of the payment under the Cap Contract which shall be deposited into the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account shall be an amount equal to the difference between the Cap Rate (as defined in the Cap Contract) and USD-LIBOR-BBA (as defined in the Cap Contract) multiplied by the Certificate Principal Balance of the Offered Certificates for such Distribution Date (prior to any distributions of principal on the Offered Certificates on such Distribution Date). Any amounts in excess of the amount calculated as described in the preceding sentence shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Seller.

The parties hereto hereby instruct the Trustee to enter into the Cap Contract and perform its duties and satisfy its obligations thereunder. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution of the Cap Contract, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class X/N Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 3.29(a) (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 5 to the Holders of the Class X/N Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Offered Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class X/N Certificateholders or their designees. The LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Offered Certificates or the Class B-3 Certificates of LIBOR 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).

By accepting a Class X/N Certificate, each Class X/N Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts to the Class X/N Certificateholders. By accepting a Class X/N Certificate, each Class X/N Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class X/N Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository institution maintaining the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account 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 Trustee 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 Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class X/N Certificates with respect to the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in such account in Permitted Investments managed by the Trustee or an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Offered Certificateholders and the Class B-3 Certificateholders to receive payments from the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any LIBOR Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

(b)

In addition, the Trustee shall treat the holders of the Class AF-1, Class AF-2, Class AF-3, Class AF-4, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, and Class A-IO Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to each holder of a Class AV-1 Certificate. Pursuant to such notional principal contract, holders of a Class AF-1, Class AF-2, Class AF-3, Class AF-4, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, or Class A-IO Certificates will be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the holders of the Class AV-1 Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 3 Regular Certificate corresponding to such Class AF-1, Class AF-2, Class AF-3, Class AF-4, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, or Class A-IO Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on such Class AF-1, Class AF-2, Class AF-3, Class AF-4, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, or Class A-IO Certificates.

(c)

As a result of the rights of the holder of a Class AF-1, Class AF-2, Class AF-3, Class AF-4, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, or Class A-IO Certificate to receive any payments described in Section 3.29(a) hereof and the obligations of such a holder to make any payment described in Section 3.29(b) hereof, the Trustee shall treat each such holder as having entered into a “notional principal contract” as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.446-3 for federal and state income tax purposes. No such notional principal contract will be part of any REMIC, and no payments to the holders of the Certificates of any amounts with respect to such notional principal contracts will be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). Thus, notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Section 4.02 hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this section. For federal tax return and information reporting, each such notional principal contract shall be assigned a value of zero.

(d)

In addition, the Trustee shall treat the holders of the Class X Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to each holder of a Class A-IO Certificate. Pursuant to such notional principal contract, each holder of a Class X Certificate will be treated as having agreed to pay to the holders of the Class A-IO Certificates, on each Distribution Date, from amounts in the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account in respect of distributions on the REMIC 3 Regular Certificate corresponding to the Class X Certificates, an aggregate amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the Class A-IO Certificate over (ii) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 3 Regular Certificate corresponding to the Class A-IO Certificates. Such notional principal contract will not be part of any REMIC, and no payments to the holders of the Class A-IO Certificates of any amounts with respect to such notional principal contract will be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). Thus, notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Section 4.02 hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Class A-IO Certificates as set forth in this section. For federal tax return and information reporting, such notional principal contract shall be assigned a value of zero.

Section 3.30

PMI Policy; Claims Under the PMI Policy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Section 3.30, the Servicer shall not agree to any modification or assumption of a PMI Mortgage Loan or take any other action with respect to a PMI Mortgage Loan that could result in denial of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Servicer shall notify the PMI Insurer that the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, is the Insured, as the term is defined in the PMI Policy, of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust, prepare and file on a timely basis with the PMI Insurer, all claims which may be made under the PMI Policy with respect to the PMI Mortgage Loans. Consistent with all rights and obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall service each PMI Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the PMI Policy, including, but not limited to taking all actions required under the PMI Policy as a condition to the payment of any such claim. Any amount received from the PMI Insurer with respect to any such PMI Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account, no later than one Business Day following deposit thereof in the Payment Clearing Account. Furthermore, upon the receipt of written direction from the Guarantor, the Servicer shall replace the PMI Insurer with the insurer included in such written direction, in the event that (i) both S&P or Xxxxx’x downgrade the claims paying ability of the PMI Insurer below “BBB-,” in the case of S&P and “Baa3,” in the case of Xxxxx’x, (ii) (A) S&P downgrades the claims paying ability of the PMI Insurer below “BBB-,” and Xxxxx’x downgrades the claims paying ability of the PMI Insurer below “A3” or (B) Xxxxx’x downgrades the claims paying ability of the PMI Insurer below “Baa3” and S&P downgrades the claims paying ability of the PMI Insurer below “A-“ or (iii) the PMI Insurer assigns its obligations under the PMI Policy to any insurer not on the Guarantor’s approved mortgage insurer list as published in the Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer Guide, as amended from time to time. Upon such replacement, the Trustee shall notify each party hereto of the identity of the new PMI Insurer.

Section 3.31

Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account.

No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of 2002-CB4 Trust, C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2002-CB4, Class AF-1.” On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account $1,000.

On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account Draw Amount payable to the Class AF-1 Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class X/N Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account any amounts received under the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account on such Distribution Date. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class AF-1 Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class AF-1 Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.02(b).

With respect to any Distribution Date, the lesser of (1) any Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Draw Amount and (2) the amount on deposit in the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account shall be distributed to the Class AF-1 Certificates as a payment of interest.

With respect to any Distribution Date on which a payment is to be made under the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, if the notional amount set forth on the schedule to the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement for such Distribution Date exceeds the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class AF-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date (prior to any distributions of principal on the Class AF-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date), the amount of the payment under the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement which shall be deposited into the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account shall be an amount equal to the difference between the Cap Rate (as defined in the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement) and USD-LIBOR-BBA (as defined in the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement) multiplied by the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class AF-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date (prior to any distributions of principal on the Class AF-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date). Any amounts in excess of the amount calculated as described in the preceding sentence shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Seller.

The parties hereto hereby instruct the Trustee to enter into the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement and perform its duties and satisfy its obligations thereunder. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution of the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class X/N Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account and all amounts deposited into the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 5 to the Holders of the Class X/N Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Class AF-1 Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account will be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class X/N Certificateholders or their designees. The Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class AF-1 Certificates of Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Draw Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1). The Trustee shall account for the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement.

At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class X/N Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account 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 Trustee 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 Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Seller with respect to the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in such account in Permitted Investments managed by the Trustee or an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Class AF-1 Certificateholders to receive payments from the Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Account in respect of any Class AF-1 Interest Rate Cap Draw Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

Section 4.03

Allocation of Losses.

(a)

All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Regular Certificate shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Monthly Excess Cashflow Amount; second, to the Overcollateralization Amount, until the Overcollateralization Amount has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class B-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class B-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class B-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, seventh, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and eighth, to the Class A Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; provided, however, that only Realized Losses from Loan Group I shall be allocated to the Class AV-1 Certificates. 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 Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, Class B-2 or Class B-3 Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated.

(b)

All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have been allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the same manner as amounts are distributed pursuant to Section 4.08(a)(2).

(c)

All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to have been allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to REMIC 2 Regular Interests in the same manner as amounts are distributed pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(ii) of this Agreement.

(d)

Special Hazard Losses will be allocated as described above, except that if the aggregate amount of such losses, as of any date of determination, exceeds the greatest of (i) 1.0% of the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, (ii) two times the amount of the Principal Balance of the largest Mortgage Loan as of the date of determination and (iii) an amount equal to the current Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans in the largest zip-code concentration in the State of California as of the date of determination, such excess losses will be allocated among all the outstanding Classes of Certificates, including the Class B-1 Interest, the Class B-3 Interest and the Class X/N Interest, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances or Notional Amount, as applicable; provided, however, that only excess Special Hazard Losses for Loan Group I will be allocated to the Class AV-1 Certificates. Any such reduction of a Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount will not be reversed or reinstated. However, on future Distribution Dates, Certificateholders of the related Class may receive amounts in respect of prior reductions in the related Certificate Principal Balances or Notional Amounts as described in Section 4.02(b).

Section 4.04

Method of Distribution.

The Trustee shall make distributions in respect of a Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution), in the case of Certificateholders of the Certificates, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of such Certificates the aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of which is in excess of $5,000,000, or 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, provided that the Trustee may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer. Distributions among Certificateholders shall be made in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held by such Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall be entitled to receive any distributions by wire transfer without being required to pay any wire fee in connection therewith. All distributions to the Guarantor shall be made by wire transfer rather than by check.

Section 4.05

Distributions on Book-Entry Certificates.

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Seller shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

Section 4.07

Remittance Reports; Advances.

(a)

On the second Business Day following each Determination Date but in no event later than four Business Days following such Determination Date (the “Loan Data Remittance Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Guarantor by telecopy (or by such other means as the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. On the same date, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee by overnight mail a computer readable magnetic tape or diskette or in such other medium as may be agreed between the Servicer and the Trustee containing the information set forth in such Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Not later than the close of business New York time on the fourth Business Day following the related Loan Data Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee in addition to the information provided on the Remittance Report, such other information reasonably available to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably request or order in order for the Trustee to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.06. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Servicer.

(b)

The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.07(d), the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related Collection Period in respect of the Actuarial Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the close of business on the related Determination Date. 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. The Servicer shall not be obligated to make any Advance with respect to Simple Interest Mortgage Loans or REO Properties.

On or before the close of business New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.07, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records, which information the Servicer will provide to the Guarantor upon the Guarantor’s request, and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer and the Guarantor by telecopy by the close of business on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report. Notwithstanding the above, with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans, the Guarantor shall have the right to require, at any time, the Servicer to remit, from its own funds, prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date after 90 days written notice to the Servicer, to the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Advances previously made out of funds from the Collection Account, and not theretofore repaid from collections on the related Mortgage Loans, and related Advances then due, if in its reasonable judgment, the Guarantor determines such action is necessary to protect its interest. In such event, the Servicer shall thereafter remit to the Trustee out of the Servicer’s own funds all Advances required to be made.

(c)

The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the earlier of such time as the Trust acquires title to the related Mortgaged Property or such Mortgage Loan is paid in full by the Mortgagor or disposed of by the Trust, or until the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds thereon.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor, the Guarantor and the Trustee.

Section 4.08

REMIC Distributions.

(a)

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause the Available Funds from the Distribution Account to make the following disbursements and transfers, in the following order of priority, to be distributed by REMIC 1 to REMIC 2 on account of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1 Interest), as the case may be:

(1)

first, to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B, in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates and second, to Holders of the remaining REMIC 1 Regular Interests in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates;

(2)

second, to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (1) above, allocated as follows:

(a)

to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIA and the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIB, pro rata to each such Interest (based on the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such Interests), until the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of such Interests equals the greater of 0.01% of the aggregate principal balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans or $100.00; then

(b)

to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIIA and the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIIB, pro rata to each such Interest (based on the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such Interests), until the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of such Interests equals 0.01% of the aggregate principal balance of the Group II Mortgage Loans, provided, however, if, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIA and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIB is greater than 0.01% of the aggregate principal balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans immediately following the distribution described in clause (a), then the amount distributed to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIIA and the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIIB pursuant to this clause (b) shall equal an amount such that, following the distribution of that amount, the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIIA and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIIB bears the same relationship to the aggregate principal balance of the Group II loans as the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIA and the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIB bears to the aggregate principal balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans; then

(c)

to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A is reduced to zero; then

(d)

to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B is reduced to zero; then

(e)

to the Holder of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIA and the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIB, pro rata to each such Interest (based on the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such Interests), until the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of such Interests equals 0.01% of the aggregate principal balance of the Group I Mortgage Loans; then

(f)

(b)

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the following order of priority, the following amounts to be distributed by REMIC 2 to REMIC 3 on account of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2 Interest), as the case may be:

(i)

first, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2AIO, in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates and then to the extent of Available Funds, to Holders of the remaining REMIC 2 Regular Interests, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates (except that amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2ZZ shall be reduced and deferred to the extent necessary to make the distributions described in (ii) below); and

(ii)

second, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, allocated as follows:

(a)

first, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2AV1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2AF1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2AF2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2AF3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2AF4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2M1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2M2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2B1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2B2 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2B3, an amount to each such Interest such that following that distribution the principal balance of each such Interest equals 25% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Corresponding Certificates with respect to such Interest; then

(b)

second, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2-GrpIA and the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2-GrpIB, pro rata to each such Interest (based on the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such Interests), until the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of such Interests equals the aggregate principal balance of the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIA and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIB; then

(c)

third, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2-GrpIIA and the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT2-GrpIIB, pro rata to each such Interest (based on the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such Interests), until the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of such Interests equals the aggregate principal balance of the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIIA and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-GrpIIB; then

(d)

fourth, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LT2ZZ the remainder, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 2 Regular Interest equals the excess of (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (ii) the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balances of the remaining REMIC 2 Regular Interests.

The foregoing REMIC distributions are intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to REMIC 3 as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall—actual or potential (other than for credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest. To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention the Trustee shall resolve ambiguities to accomplish such result and shall to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of Counsel) to accomplish such intention.

(c)

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the following order of priority, the following amounts to be distributed by REMIC 3 to REMIC 4 on account of the Class B-3 Interest or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R-4 Certificates, as the case may be:

(i)

to the Holders of the Class B-3 Interest, in an amount equal to (A) the Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates; and

(ii)

to the Holders of the Class B-3 Interest, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-3 Interest is reduced to zero.

(d)

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause in the following order of priority, the following amounts to be distributed by REMIC 3 to REMIC 5 on account of the Class X/N Interest or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R-5 Certificates, as the case may be:

(i)

to the Holders of the Class X/N Interest, in an amount equal to (A) the Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates; and

(ii)

to the Holders of the Class X/N Interest, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class X/N Interest is reduced to zero.

(e)

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause any prepayment charges received in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan in respect of any Distribution Date to be distributed among each REMIC 1 Regular Interest in proportion to the amount of interest payable on such Interest on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause any prepayment charges received with respect to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests on any Distribution Date to be distributed among the REMIC 2 Regular Interest in proportion to the amount of interest payable on such Interests on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause any prepayment charges received with respect to the REMIC 2 Regular Interests on any Distribution Date to be distributed to the Class X/N Interest on such Distribution Date.

Section 4.09

The Guarantee.

On each Distribution Date following receipt of a statement (as set forth in Section 4.06) that indicates a Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date, the Guarantor shall distribute a Guarantor Payment in an aggregate amount equal to the Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date directly to the Holders of the Guaranteed Certificates, without first depositing such amount in the Distribution Account, as follows: (i) the portion of any such Deficiency Amount related to clause (i) of the definition of Deficiency Amount shall be distributed to the Class A-V1 Certificateholders based on the Accrued Certificate Interest and the Interest Carry Forward Amount distributable on such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date; and (ii) the portion of any such Deficiency Amount related to clause (ii) of the definition of Deficiency Amount shall be distributed to the Class AV-1 Certificateholders.

Section 4.10

Compliance with Withholding.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.

Section 4.11

Reserved.

Section 4.12

Amounts Paid Pursuant to Cap Agreements

Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Section 4.08 hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions with respect to a Class of Certificates in excess of amounts payable pursuant to the REMIC 3 Regular Interest corresponding to such Class as amounts paid pursuant to the interest rate cap agreements provided for in Sections 3.29 and 3.31 hereof, as applicable. In no event shall any such excess amounts be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

Section 4.13

Loan Data Remittance Report.

(a)

On each Loan Data Remittance Date by 3:00 PM Eastern Time, the Servicer shall furnish a complete and accurate report (the “Loan Data Remittance Report”) to the Guarantor by electronic medium as agreed to by the Servicer and the Guarantor. In addition, the Servicer shall furnish to the Guarantor a report with respect to the Mortgage Loans that have been voluntarily repurchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16 during the related Prepayment Period indicating the Mortgage Loan number, the date of repurchase and the Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan so repurchased and a report setting forth the Mortgage Loan number of each MGIC Mortgage Loan for which a claim made under the PMI Policy was denied, curtailed, or for which coverage under the PMI Policy was canceled.

(b)

If in any month the Servicer fails to provide the Guarantor the Loan Data Remittance Report on or prior to the Loan Data Remittance Date (provided, however, the Loan Data Remittance Report may be delivered within 48 hours of the Loan Data Remittance Date) or if such report is deemed to be materially incomplete or inaccurate by the Guarantor, the Servicer shall pay to the Guarantor the following amounts: (i) upon the first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second such failure, $750; and (iii) upon the third such failure, $1,000; provided, however, that any determination of failure shall take into account the 48-hour grace period. The eighth such failure in any two-year period to provide a Loan Data Remittance Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.13(a) shall constitute a Servicer Event of Termination and permit the Guarantor to remove the Servicer with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans for cause as provided in Section 7.01(a)(vii) of this Agreement. The fourth consecutive failure (determined after taking into account the 48-hour grace period) in any two year period by the Servicer to provide a Loan Data Remittance Report to the Guarantor on or prior to the Loan Data Remittance Date shall constitute a Servicer Event of Termination and permit the Guarantor to remove the Servicer with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans for cause as provided in Section 7.01(a)(vii) of this Agreement.

Section 4.14

Trustee Remittance Report.

(a)

On each Trustee Reporting Date by noon New York time, the Trustee shall furnish a report (the “Trustee Remittance Report”) in the form attached as Exhibit N to this Agreement (together with a statement containing the information that is required to be included in the statement to be prepared by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.06) to the Guarantor by electronic medium as agreed to by the Trustee and the Guarantor.

(b)

Subject to paragraph (d) below, if in any month the Trustee fails to deliver the Trustee Remittance Report by noon New York time on the related Trustee Reporting Date, the Guarantor shall use its best efforts to determine the amount of any required Guarantor Payment. If on any Distribution Date the Guarantor makes any Guarantor Payment as a result of such failure of the Trustee to deliver the Trustee Remittance Report, the Trustee shall pay the Guarantor from its own funds (not from the proceeds of the Trust Fund), not later than the fourth Business Day following such Distribution Date, a $100 fee plus an amount equal to the product of (i) the principal portion of such Guarantor Payment, (ii) a percentage equal to (A) the Prime Rate plus 2.00% divided by (B) 365 and (iii) the number of days between the Trustee Reporting Date and the date on which the Guarantor received the Trustee Remittance Report.

(c)

Subject to paragraph (d) below, if in any month the Trustee fails to provide the Guarantor the Trustee Remittance Report on or prior to the Trustee Reporting Date, the Trustee shall pay to the Guarantor the following amounts: (i) upon the first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second such failure, $750; and (iii) upon the third such failure, $1,000; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to make any such payment upon the first such failure during each successive one year period following the Closing Date. The fourth such failure to provide a Trustee Remittance Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.09(a) shall constitute an event of default and permit the Guarantor to remove the Trustee for cause.

(d)

The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability (including removal as Trustee) under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 4.13 if the Trustee’s failure to timely deliver the Trustee Remittance Report is due to the failure of the Servicer to furnish the Trustee with a report in accordance with Section 4.06. If the Trustee’s failure to timely deliver the Trustee Remittance Report is due to the failure of the Servicer to furnish the Trustee with a report in accordance with Section 4.06, the Servicer shall pay to the Guarantor the amount set forth in Section 4.13(b) above (i.e., the product of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.13(b) above) and the following additional amounts: (i) upon the first such failure, $500; (ii) upon the second such failure, $750; and (iii) upon the third such failure, $1,000; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to make any such payment upon the first such failure during each successive one year period following the Closing Date. The fourth such failure to provide the Trustee with a report in accordance with Section 4.13(a) and thereby causing the Trustee’s failure to timely deliver a Trustee Remittance Report to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.13(a) shall constitute a Servicer Event of Termination.

(e)

On each Trustee Reporting Date by noon New York time, the Trustee shall forward a Liquidation Report for the related Distribution Date (in the form attached as Exhibit O to this Agreement) to the Guarantor by electronic medium as agreed to by the Trustee and the Guarantor, to the extent that the Trustee has received from the Servicer such Liquidation Report.

The Class N, Class X and Residual Certificates are issuable only in minimum Percentage Interests of 10%.

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Certificate Registrar substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Offered Certificates (except the Class AV-1 Certificates) shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The Class AV-1, Class B-3, Class N, Class X and Residual Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates but shall be issued in fully registered certificate form.

Section 5.02

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

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

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

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

(b)

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

All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository.

(c)

If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option, with the consent of the Trustee, elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Certificate Owners of each Class of Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advises the Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, at the Depositor’s expense, in the case of (ii) above, or the Seller’s expense, in the case of (i) and (iii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and shall authenticate the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(d)

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

No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or any interest therein shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor, (such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, as appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (ii) (except in the case of a Residual, Class X or Class N Certificate) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) (except in the case of a Residual Certificate) in the case of any such ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any such Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in form and substance to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Certificate Registrar of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar as described above shall be void and of no effect. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Trust from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

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 appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)

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

(ii)

No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

(iii)

In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

(A)

an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that, among other things, such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and 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 who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

(B)

a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.

(iv)

Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate Registrar 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 or for making any distributions due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Certificate Registrar received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(v)

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

(vi)

If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations. The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information from the person to whom it is provided but shall provide such information regardless of whether it has received such compensation.

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

(e)

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

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

Section 5.03

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.04

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Guarantor, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Guarantor, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 5.05

Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee. The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the Guarantor and the Rating Agencies.

The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of Federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

ARTICLE VI.

The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor.

Section 6.02

Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor.

Any entity into which the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Seller, the Servicer or the Depositor, 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 the successor Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a successor Servicer.

Section 6.03

Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder; provided, further, that this provision shall not be construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Liquidation Proceeds (in excess of related liquidation expenses) realized with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer shall be entitled to pay such expenses from the proceeds of the Trust or to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.05 upon presentation to the Trustee of documentation of such expenses, costs and liabilities. The Servicer’s right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer solely in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

Section 6.04

Servicer Not to Resign.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Trustee and the Guarantor in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Guarantor; and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee and the Guarantor prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Regular Certificates or the ratings that are in effect (without regard to the Guarantee of the Guarantor); provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated, with the consent of the Guarantor, a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Guarantor. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Guarantor.

Section 6.05

Delegation of Duties.

In the ordinary course of business the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01; provided, such Person is an approved servicer of Xxxxxxx Mac and if not, only with the approval of the Guarantor. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Rating Agencies with 60 days prior written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer’s Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

The Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all the Servicer’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for the benefit of certain lenders, and (ii) provided that no Servicer Event of Termination exists, agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee as successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02(a), acceptable to the Guarantor and agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor.

Section 6.06

Subservicing Agreement and Successor Subservicer.

(a)

The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements for any servicing and administration of Mortgage Loans with any institution which is pre-approved by the Guarantor and an approved Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer as indicated in writing, and which represents and warrants that it is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such subservicing agreement. For this purpose, subservicing shall not be deemed to include the use of a tax service, or services for reconveyance, insurance or brokering REO Property. The Servicer shall give prior notice to the Seller, the Trustee and the Guarantor of the appointment of any subservicer and shall furnish to the Seller, the Trustee and the Guarantor a copy of such subservicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when any subservicer has received such payments. Any such subservicing agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each subservicing agreement shall provide that a successor Servicer shall have the option to terminate such agreement without the payment of any fees if the predecessor Servicer is terminated or resigns. The Guarantor shall have the right to direct the Servicer, at the Servicer’s expense, to terminate any subservicer that having previously been an approved Xxxxxxx Mac Seller/Servicer, no longer has such approval.

(b)

The Servicer may terminate any subservicing agreement to which it is a party in accordance with the terms and conditions of such subservicing agreement and either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a subservicing agreement with a successor subservicer that qualifies under Section 6.06(a).

(c)

The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement entered into pursuant to Section 6.06.

Section 6.07

Liability of the Servicer.

Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Article III without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 6.08

Inspection

Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall afford the Guarantor and the Trustee, upon reasonable advance notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Seller and the Servicer, respectively, in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Seller and the Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Seller and the Servicer, respectively, shall furnish to the Guarantor such information relating to its capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, (x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not made by 2:00 P.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee may, with the consent of the Guarantor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Trustee, or a successor servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a successor Servicer, (y) in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, the Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Guarantor or the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% (with the consent of the Guarantor), by notice then given in writing to the Servicer and the Trustee, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement and (z) in the case of (vi) and (vii) above, the Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Guarantor, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer of the Group I Mortgage Loans only. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor, the Guarantor and the Seller. On or after the receipt by the Servicer and the Trustee of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, 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 to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and Related Documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the successor Servicer of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee (or the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Escrow Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the servicing to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses; provided, however, that the 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 Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination, provided, that all Advances made by the Servicer with respect to a given Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be reimbursed on a “first in first out” basis.

Section 7.02

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a)

Within 90 days of the time the Servicer and the Trustee (if notice is sent by the Holders or the Guarantor) receives a notice of termination or resignation pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as is acceptable to the Guarantor and approved in accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession. As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer shall be approved by the Guarantor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), as evidenced by the prior written consent of the Guarantor and will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates or the ratings that are in effect by the Rating Agencies (without regard to the Guarantee of the Guarantor) as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The successor servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing to the successor servicer. The appointment of a successor servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.12 or to indemnify the parties indicated in Section 3.26 pursuant to the terms thereof, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

In the event of a Servicer Event of Termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor hereby agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer within ten Business Days of when notification of such event shall have been provided to the Trustee, whereunder the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed as successor Servicer (provided that at the time of such appointment the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor Servicer set forth above) and the Servicing Rights Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)

Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders and the Guarantor, and maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.

Section 7.03

Waiver of Defaults.

The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and with the consent of the Guarantor, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that the Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate and the consent of the Guarantor. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies and the Guarantor.

Section 7.04

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)

On any termination or appointment of a successor the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency and the Guarantor.

(b)

No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of Termination for five Business 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 Certificateholders and the Guarantor notice of such occurrence unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured. Such notice shall be given to the Rating Agencies promptly after any such occurrence.

Section 7.05

Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.

Section 7.06

Rights of the Guarantor to Exercise Rights of Class AV-1 Certificateholders.

By accepting ownership interest in its Certificate, each Class AV-1 Certificateholder agrees that the Guarantor shall be deemed to be the Certificateholder for all purposes (other than with respect to payment on the Certificates) and shall have the right to exercise all rights of the Class AV-1 Certificateholders under this Agreement and under each Class AV-1 Certificate without any further consent of the Class AV-1 Certificateholders, including, without limitation:

(a)

the right to require the Seller to repurchase Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;

(b)

the right to give notices of breach or to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 and to consent to or direct waivers of Servicer defaults pursuant to Section 7.03;

(c)

the right to direct the actions of the Trustee during the continuance of a Servicer default pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.02;

(d)

the right to institute proceedings against the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01;

(e)

the right to direct the Trustee to investigate certain matters pursuant to Section 8.02;

(f)

the right to remove the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07;

(g)

the right to direct foreclosures upon the failure of the Servicer to do so in accordance with this Agreement; and

(h)

all Voting Rights.

In addition, each Class AV-1 Certificateholder agrees that the rights specifically enumerated in this Agreement may be exercised by such Certificateholders only with the prior written consent of the Guarantor.

Section 7.07

Trustee to Act Solely with Consent of the Guarantor.

The Trustee shall not, without the Guarantor’s consent or unless directed by the Guarantor, agree to any amendment pursuant to Article XI; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Guarantor may, in writing and in its sole discretion renounce all or any of its rights under Section 7.06 or 7.07 or any requirement for the Guarantor’s consent for any period of time.

Section 7.08

Mortgage Loans, Trust Fund and Accounts Held for Benefit of the Guarantor.

The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund and the Mortgage Files for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor and all references in this Agreement and in the Certificates to the benefit of Holders of the Certificates shall be deemed to include the Guarantor. The Trustee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with any reasonable request by the Guarantor for action to preserve or enforce the Guarantor’s rights or interests under this Agreement and the Certificates unless, as stated in an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Guarantor, such action is adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders or diminishes the rights of the Certificateholders or imposes additional burdens or restrictions on the Certificateholders.

The Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders and for the benefit of the Guarantor, and all references in this Agreement to the benefit of or actions on behalf of the Certificateholders shall be deemed to include the Guarantor.

ARTICLE VIII.

THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.01

Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, 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 their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee 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; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders and the Guarantor of such instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee 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 Servicer Event of Termination, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not 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 and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee 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 and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)

the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts related thereto;

(iii)

the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Majority Certificateholders (with the consent of the Guarantor, so long as no Guarantor Default exists and is continuing) relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and

(iv)

the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 or any Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the applicable Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the Majority Certificateholders or the Guarantor. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Servicer Event of Termination.

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except with respect to the Trustee during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account, subject to Section 3.05(vi).

Section 8.02

Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

(i)

the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer’s 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 may consult with counsel and any advice or 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)

the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights 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 the Certificateholders or the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;

the Trustee shall not be personally 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)

The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;

(vi)

the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have any liability or make any representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02;

(vii)

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 or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by it with due care; and

(viii)

the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

Section 8.03

Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Seller, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or Related Document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.

Section 8.04

Trustee May Own Certificates.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Guarantor or their Affiliates.

Section 8.05

Seller to Pay Trustee Fees and Expenses.

The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself its fees in an aggregate amount equal to the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 4.01 and, to the extent the Interest Remittance Amount is at any time insufficient for such purpose, the Seller shall pay such fees as reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Seller will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon their request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from such party’s negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of Certificateholders or the Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Section 2.03(a) and Section 2.04, to the contrary, the Seller covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or incurred in connection with the administration of the Trust, other than with respect to a party, any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such party in the performance of their respective duties hereunder or by reason of such party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits). The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified, to the extent not paid by the Seller pursuant to this Section, by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee or such party arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Trustee’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. This section shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder.

Section 8.06

Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Department of Housing and Urban Development and Federal Housing Administration approved mortgagee, an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term debt rating of BBB by Fitch and S&P and Baa2 or better by Xxxxx’x, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee and the Guarantor at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

Section 8.07

Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor, with the approval of the Guarantor, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the Guarantor, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of their property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of their property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor, with the consent of the Guarantor, may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor, the Guarantor or the Servicer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor, with the approval of the Guarantor, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.

The Majority Certificateholders may, with the prior written consent of the Guarantor, at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee and any expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such removal shall be reimbursed to it by the Majority Certificateholders promptly upon demand therefor; the Guarantor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee in accordance with this Section.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 8.08.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the Trustee may not be removed by the Depositor or the Certificateholders without the prior written consent of the Guarantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed, the Guarantor may terminate any Paying Agent; provided, however, that any such termination of any Paying Agent shall not become effective until a successor Trustee (or a successor Paying Agent on its behalf) shall have assumed in writing the duties of the terminated Paying Agent.

Section 8.08

Successor Trustee.

Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Rating Agencies, the Guarantor, the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the appointment of any successor Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement will be subject to the prior written consent of the Guarantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 8.09

Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.10

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the Guarantor to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer and the Guarantor. If the Servicer and the Guarantor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.

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

(i)

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

(ii)

no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii)

the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly and with the consent of the Guarantor, may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

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

Section 8.11

Limitation of Liability.

The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.

Section 8.12

Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates.

(a)

All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders and the Guarantor in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

(b)

The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor, and each Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Guarantor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Guarantor and such Certificateholder for review and copying at the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 8.13

Suits for Enforcement.

In case a Servicer Event of Termination or other default by the Servicer or the Seller hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders or the Guarantor, or may, with the consent of the Guarantor, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders or the Guarantor under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders.

Section 8.14

Waiver of Bond Requirement.

The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency or body whatsoever.

The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner whatsoever.

Section 8.16

Compliance with National Housing Act of 1934.

ARTICLE IX.

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

Section 9.01

REMIC Administration.

(a)

REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.

(b)

The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)

The Servicer shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer in fulfilling its duties hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Collection Account.

(d)

The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs’ federal and state tax and information returns as the direct representative each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.

(e)

The Holder of the Residual Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to each REMIC and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each REMIC. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving the Trust; provided, that to the extent that such representation affects the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, the Trustee agrees to consult with the Guarantor and accommodate the Guarantor’s reasonable requests.

(f)

The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause the REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Servicer, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Guarantor or the Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

(g)

Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. Subject to the foregoing, in the event that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax, including franchise taxes, as a result of a determination that such REMIC is domiciled in the State of Texas for state tax purposes by virtue of the location of the Servicer, the Servicer agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC when due, any and all state and local taxes imposed as a result of such a determination when imposed.

In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the Trust and the Guarantor against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of such Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Class R Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Class R Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

(h)

The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i)

No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans.

(j)

Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(k)

On or before April 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2003, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency an Officers’ Certificate stating the Servicer’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.01.

(l)

The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall complete the Form 8811.

(m)

For federal income tax purposes, in the event that the beneficial ownership of the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates is held by separate persons for tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the Class N Certificates as debt of the Class X Certificateholders for federal income tax purposes and shall not treat such Class of Certificates as an interest in any REMIC created hereunder. In the event that the beneficial ownership of the Class N Certificates and the Class X Certificates is held by the same person, the Trustee shall treat the Class N Certificates as not having been issued for federal income tax purposes so that the entire economic entitlement of the Class N Certificates and Class X Certificates (excluding the Class X Certificates right to receive amounts from the LIBOR Carryover Reserve Account) will represent a “regular interest” in REMIC 5.

Section 9.02

Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

Neither the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it and the Guarantor have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Section 9.03

Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.

In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trust Fund and the Guarantor against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

ARTICLE X.

TERMINATION

Section 10.01

Termination.

(a)

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Guarantor and the Certificate Registrar created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the later of (i) the payment in full of all amounts owing to the Guarantor unless the Guarantor shall otherwise consent and (ii) the earliest of (A) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (B) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, and (C) the optional purchase by the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Distribution Date in September 2035.

The Servicer of the Group II Mortgage Loans or an Affiliate of that Servicer may, at its option, terminate the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund and retire the Offered Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates on the next succeeding Distribution Date upon which the aggregate current Pool Balance is less than 10% of the aggregate Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date by purchasing all of the outstanding (i) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and except to the extent previously advanced by the Servicer, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Interest Rates through the end of the Collection Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees and Special Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans, (ii) REO Properties in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the lesser of (a) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by an appraisal completed by an independent appraiser selected by the Servicer at the expense of the Servicer and (b) the unpaid Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate and (iii) any related LIBOR Carryover Amount (the “Termination Price”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Termination Price be less than an amount that would be sufficient to repay all amounts due and owing to the Guarantor under this Agreement.

In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following such purchase.

Any such purchase shall be accomplished by delivery to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account as part of Available Funds on the Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price and the delivery of an opinion of counsel in form and substance acceptable to the Guarantor that such termination is a “Qualified Liquidation,” under Section 860F of the Code, of REMIC 1 and of each other REMIC. The entity effecting the termination pursuant to this Section 10.01(a) (such entity the “Terminator”) shall indemnify the Guarantor for any claims under this Agreement due to the Terminator’s exercise of such option.

(b)

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

(c)

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates pursuant to Section 10.01, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.01 and 4.02 for such Distribution Date. With respect to the terminated Certificates, on the final Distribution Date therefor, the Trustee will withdraw from the Distribution Account and remit to the Guarantor the lesser of (x) the amount available for distribution on such final Distribution Date, net of any portion thereof necessary to pay Holders of the Guaranteed Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01 and any amounts owing to the Trustee in respect of the Trustee Fee (or any other amount payable or reimbursable to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 7.02 and Section 8.05) and due and unpaid Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees and (y) the unpaid amounts due and owing to the Guarantor relating to the Guaranteed Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.01, 4.07 and 4.09.

(d)

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

Section 10.02

Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)

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

(i)

The Trustee shall designate a date within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date as the date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation of each REMIC and shall specify such date in the final federal income tax return of each REMIC;

(ii)

After the date of adoption of such plans of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Servicer for cash; and

(iii)

At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited in the following order of priority (A) (i) to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and (ii) to the Class M-1, Class M- 2 and Class B Certificates, the related Certificate Principal Balance, as applicable, plus one month’s interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate, (B) to the Class N and Class X Certificates in respect of the Class X/N Interest, the amount of any remaining Monthly Excess Cash Flow Amounts not previously distributed thereon, (C) to the Guarantor, all amounts owing to the Guarantor under this Agreement, (D) to the remaining REMIC Regular Interests the amounts allocable thereto pursuant to Section 4.08 and (E) to the Class R, Class R-4 and Class R-5 Certificateholders, all cash on hand in respect of the related REMIC or REMICs after such payment (other than cash retained to meet claims) and the Trust shall terminate at such time.

(b)

By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) designate such date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Guarantor and (ii) to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such plans of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.

ARTICLE XI.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor and the Trustee; and without the consent of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such action listed in clause (i) through (iii) above shall not adversely affect in any respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by (A) notice in writing to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates (without regard to the Guarantee of the Guarantor) with respect to which it is a Rating Agency, or (B) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee.

In addition, (i) this Agreement may be amended from time to time by Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Guarantor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Guarantor may from time to time consent to the amendment of this Agreement, in each case with the consent of the Majority Certificateholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates which are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced by (i) notice in writing to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates (without regard to the Guarantee of the Guarantor) with respect to which it is a Rating Agency, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer, the Guarantor and the Trustee) in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies. Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person seeking such amendment) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment and satisfactory to the Guarantor, to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms hereof.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such Person is the Seller or the Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee), otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer, the Guarantor and each Rating Agency.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment; instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Section 11.02

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the expense of the Trust, but only upon direction of Certificateholders or the Guarantor, accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

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

Section 11.03

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

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

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.03 each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 11.04

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 the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), from funds in the Distribution Account 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 AV-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

The Class AV-1 Pass-Through Rate on each Distribution Date will be a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR as of the related LIBOR Determination Date, plus the Class AV-1 Certificate Margin and (ii) the related Rate Cap for such distribution. Interest will accrue on the Class AV-1 Certificates during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class AV-1 Pass-Through Rate.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as C-BASS Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class AV-1 Certificates.

The Class AV-1 Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to 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 Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to the Voting Rights identified in the agreement. 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 Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 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 transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 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 a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws, either (i) that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee each execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement certifying to the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding the transfer, or (ii) that the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, in their respective capacities as such. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee 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 such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

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

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar 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 or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all 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 the Trust Fund all 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 Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being 10% or less of the Cut-off Date Aggregate Principal Balance.

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

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

COUNTY OF

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

The undersigned is [an officer of] _____________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a [Class R, Class R-4, and/or Class R-5 Certificates] (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the “Agreement”), relating to the above-referenced Certificates, among Residential Asset Funding Corporation, as depositor, Credit-Based Asset Servicing and Securitization LLC, as seller, Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP, as servicer, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, as guarantor of the Class AV-1 Certificates, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.

The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificates either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificates to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.

The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (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 and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificates including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificates. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificates, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth in this Exhibit K to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificates.

The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is _____________.

The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).

10.

The Transferee is aware that the Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to 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 was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

11.

The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor are we acting on behalf of such a plan.
