This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective as of February 1, 2006, among AMERIQUEST MORTGAGE SECURITIES INC., as Depositor, AMERIQUEST MORTGAGE COMPANY, as Master Servicer, and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, as Trustee.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate shall evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The Trust Fund shall consist of a segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.

REMIC I

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

The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

The Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement between the Master Servicer and the Trustee, following the later of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Seller receives the Assignment from the Custodian and (iii) the date of receipt by the Master Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in Section 2.01(iii) above in the following form: “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement.” In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Master Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided further, however, each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) failure of the Master Servicer Termination Test, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer is unable to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense shall be paid by the Trustee and shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.

All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee, or to the appropriate Custodian on behalf of the Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Master Servicer.

The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by HOEPA or any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement, receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all interests and all other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it, or such Custodian as its agent, holds and shall hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or shall hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to execute and deliver (or cause the Custodian to execute and deliver) to the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer an acknowledgment of receipt of the Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto.

The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review (or cause a Custodian on its behalf to review) each Mortgage Note within 45 days of the Closing Date and to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (or cause the Custodian to certify in the form of the Initial Certification attached to the Custodial Agreement) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it or such Custodian and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its or the Custodian’s examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) through (3), (6), (9), (10), (13), (15) and (19) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee or such Custodian was under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01.

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans. Upon the request of the Master Servicer, any exception report related to the final certification shall be provided in an electronic computer readable format as mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee or any Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing, mutilated, torn or defaced or does not conform to the requirements identified above, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall so notify the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

The Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder, Certificate Owner, provide a written report to such Certificateholder, Certificate Owner, of all Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing purposes.

SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller or the Depositor; Payment of Prepayment Charge Payment

Amounts.

(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice (including notice under Section 2.02) of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller had knowledge or was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Master Servicer (or, in accordance with Section 6.06(b), the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(d)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

(b) (i) Promptly upon the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.05, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(i) above,

(A) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the representation made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(vii), which breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount collected and deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection Account in respect of such Prepayment Charge; and

(B) on the later of (x) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of the covenant made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(viii), which breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge and (y) the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the Prepayment Period relating to such a breach, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, as a Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount, the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge, but only to the extent required under Section 2.03(b)(iii) below.

(iii) If with respect to any Prepayment Period,

(A) the dollar amount of Prepayment Charges that are the subject of breaches by the Master Servicer of the covenant made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.05(viii), which breaches materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to such Prepayment Charges, exceeds

(B) 5% of the total dollar amount of Prepayment Charges payable by Mortgagors in connection with Principal Prepayments on the related Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period,

then the amount required to be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii)(B) above shall be limited to an amount, that when added to the amount of Prepayment Charges actually collected by the Master Servicer in respect of Prepayment Charges relating to Principal Prepayments on the related Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period, shall yield a sum equal to 95% of the total dollar amount of Prepayment Charges (exclusive of (A) Prepayment Charges not enforced or collected upon because (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally or (ii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment and (B) Prepayment Charges waived by the Master Servicer when such waiver does not breach the covenant set forth in Section 2.05(viii)) payable by Mortgagors in connection with Principal Prepayments on the related Mortgage Loans that occurred during such Prepayment Period.

(c) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case of the Seller, or Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, must be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller or the Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, delivering to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and shall be retained by the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in 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 Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule, to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified 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 all applicable representations and warranties thereof.

For any month in which the Depositor or the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

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

(d) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Qualified 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. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by the Seller. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, 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.

SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with (i) the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and any insurance policies related thereto, (ii) all Applicable Regulations, (iii) the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Loss Mitigation Action Plan, if applicable, and (v) to the extent consistent with the preceding requirements, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:

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

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

(iii) the Master Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or

(iv) the Master Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction (the “Servicing Standard”).

Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 6.06, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee, in accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of forbearance, or of modification and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, in the name of the Trust Fund, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, (iii) to market, sell and transfer title of REO Properties held in the name of the Trust Fund to third party purchasers upon terms and conditions the Master Servicer deems reasonable under the Servicing Standard, (iv) to bring or respond to civil actions or complaints (in its own name or that of the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) related to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property held by the Trust Fund and (v) to execute any other document necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder consistent with the Servicing Standard.

At the written request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and furnish to the Master Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. By execution of this Agreement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of attorney to execute any and all documents necessary to carry out any and all servicing duties described in this Agreement (including the taking of and transferring title of REO Properties to third parties held in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Trust) and expressly confirms that this paragraph along with the face page and a copy of the signature page (duly executed) to this Agreement shall constitute the power of attorney for evidentiary and/or recording purposes. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.

Subject to Section 3.04(d) hereof, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.04(d), and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Master 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 such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is in conformity with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that:

(A) the Master Servicer shall not make future advances (except as provided in Section 4.03);

(B) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless as provided in Section 3.02, (i) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or (ii) such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable); and

(C) the Master Servicer shall not consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties subject to Mortgages, (iv) modification or (v) second mortgage subordination agreements with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would: (i) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC, (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, or (iii) both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (y) cause any Trust 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.

To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.03 and Section 2.05, the Master Servicer may waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and (ii) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan.

The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement. All references to Master Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Sub-Servicer duly appointed by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive any provision of any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (iii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder. The NIMS Insurer’s prior written consent shall be required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Master Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as “forbearance”), provided, however, that in determining which course of action permitted by this sentence it shall pursue, the Master Servicer shall adhere to the Loss Mitigation Action Plan. The Master Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 and the Loss Mitigation Action Plan shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.

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 Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master 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 Depositor and any successor master servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.03. [Reserved].

The foregoing requirements for deposit to 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, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges, modification fees and other ancillary fees (but not Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and shall upon collection, belong to the Master Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(viii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01.

SECTION 3.06.

Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, the REO Account and the Distribution Account.

(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)), and the REO Account and the Trustee may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.06, 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 Investment 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 (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, the Escrow Account, and the REO Account) over each such investment and (except with respect to the income on funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account and the REO Account) 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:

(i) 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

(ii) 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 in the nature of interest from the investment of funds in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account (subject to Section 3.05(b)) and the REO Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as compensation for the Master Servicer’s services pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account, and the REO Account , as applicable, from its own funds 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.

(c) All income in the nature of interest or earnings from the investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee as compensation for the Trustee’s services pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the Distribution Account.

(d) Funds on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 4.11 and any investment earnings or interest paid shall accrue to the benefit of the party designated in such section and the party so designated shall deposit in the related account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in such account.

(e) 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 NIMS Insurer 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.

(f) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to Section 3.05.

SECTION 3.07.

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and, as to those Mortgage Loans subject to a voluntary escrow agreement, 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 Master Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or Applicable Regulations. The Master 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. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due and shall 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.

SECTION 3.08.

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances (each measured at the time it became an REO Property). The Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.13, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan; (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program); and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are part of the related Mortgaged Property.

SECTION 3.09.

Maintenance of Mortgage Blanket Insurance.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of “A:V” or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of Section 3.08, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of Section 3.08, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

SECTION 3.10.

Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.

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

SECTION 3.11.

Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

The Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master Servicer is authorized to enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer. In connection with any assumption or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise permitted under Section 3.01. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any respective Custodian that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee or to such Custodian, as the case may be, the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Master 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 by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.11, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

SECTION 3.12.

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Loss Mitigation Action Plan, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.02. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses shall be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.05 and Section 3.13. The foregoing is subject to the provision that: (i) in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (ii) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, if, after such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days or more delinquent and the Master Servicer, after making a Final Recovery Determination, determines that a net recovery that would eliminate or reduce a Realized Loss by more than an immaterial amount is not possible through foreclosure, such Mortgage Loan may be charged off and such Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a Liquidated Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master 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 Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, 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 or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit reveals, or if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge or notice, that such Mortgaged Property contains such toxic or hazardous wastes or substances, the Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.12 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the environmental audit report, together with the Advances made by the Master Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(v), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

(c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery shall be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii).

SECTION 3.13.

Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 3.01, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to transfer the title of any REO Property taken in the name of the Trustee to a third party purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.13 without further documentation of its authority as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee on behalf of the Trust. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders), shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year after the year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition shall not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders and solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

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

(c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement (including the Loss Mitigation Action Plan), to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and appropriate to effect the prompt disposition and sale of the REO Property. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

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

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the Master Servicer’s obligation to the Certificateholders to manage and operate (including the collection of rents from existing tenants and management of any leases acquired with the REO property to the extent applicable) the REO Property from the date of acquisition until the date of sale, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall knowingly:

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

(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that shall constitute Rents from Real Property;

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

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

unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that such action shall not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, and (B) the Master Servicer has received written notice from the Trustee that it has received written consent from the NIMS Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) that the specific action may be taken.

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

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

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

(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.13(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

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

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees. The Master Servicer shall not engage an Independent Contractor to engage in any activities that the Master Servicer would not be permitted to engage in itself in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement (including the Loss Mitigation Action Plan).

(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.13(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.13(c) or this Section 3.13(d).

(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.13(a) (including the constraint that the Master Servicer hold and manage each REO Property “solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition”) each REO disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be in conformity with the requirements of the Loss Mitigation Action Plan and as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar properties.

(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.04(g)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution 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).

SECTION 3.14.

[Reserved].

SECTION 3.15.

Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged Properties.

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

SECTION 3.16.

Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) (i) The NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Master Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16(a)(i), the Master Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03. The NIMS Insurer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(a)(i) shall be accomplished by remittance to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. The Trustee shall effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the NIMS Insurer to the extent necessary, as requested, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver all documentation to the NIMS Insurer.

(i) During the first full calendar month (but excluding the last Business Day thereof) following a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property becoming 90 days or more delinquent, the Master Servicer shall have the option, but not the obligation to purchase from the Trust Fund any such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is then still 90 days or more delinquent, which the Master Servicer determines in good faith shall otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon written certification of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Master Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant hereto.

(b) If with respect to any delinquent Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, the option of the Master Servicer set forth in the preceding paragraph shall have arisen but the Master Servicer shall have failed to exercise such option on or before the Business Day preceding the last Business Day of the calendar month following the calendar month during which such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property first became 90 days or more delinquent, then such option shall automatically expire; provided, however, that if any such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property shall cease to be 90 days or more delinquent but then subsequently shall again become 90 days or more delinquent, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to another repurchase option with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Property as provided in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 3.17.

Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification in the form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b) have been or shall be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or such Custodian, as the case may be, shall promptly release (and in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter) the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee and any related Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee or such Custodian, as the case may be, of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E or such other form supplied by the Master Servicer provided that it does not differ from the substantive content of Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee or to such Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, upon request, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or such Custodian to the Master Servicer.

(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee shall not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

(d) The Trustee and the Master Servicer may mutually agree on policies and procedures (commercially reasonable in nature) to allow the submission of any and all requests for the release of a Mortgage File electronically with a digital signature or other identifier to designate the Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer requesting such collateral.

SECTION 3.18.

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 4.03(e). In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a)(ii), out of general funds in the Collection Account to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.13. 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 Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Master Servicer only to the extent such amounts, fees or charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) to withdraw from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.04(h) to withdraw from any Escrow Account and pursuant to Section 3.13(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and Section 3.10, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

SECTION 3.19.

Statement as to Compliance.

The Master Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, not later than March 20^th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use. The Master Servicer shall deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which the Master Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trustee as described above as and when required with respect to the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that the Trustee may sustain based upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.19.

SECTION 3.20. Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.

The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit M hereto). Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on or before March 20^th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, a report regarding the Master Servicer’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance shall contain the following:

(a) A statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Master Servicer;

(b) A statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria, and which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Master Servicer;

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

(d) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an Attestation Report on the Master Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and

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

Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit M hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Master Servicer.

On or before March 20^th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Master Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The Master Servicer shall cause any Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided above.

Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit M hereto which are indicated as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

The Master Servicer shall deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report by March 20^th of such year.

Failure of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20 shall be deemed a Master Servicer Event of Termination, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

The Trustee shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit M hereto which are indicated as applicable to the “trustee”.

SECTION 3.21.

Access to Certain Documentation.

The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans shall be provided to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and to any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access. In each case, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans may be conditioned upon the requesting party’s acknowledgment in writing of a confidentiality agreement regarding any information that is required to remain confidential under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999.

SECTION 3.22.

[Reserved].

SECTION 3.23.

Advance Facility.

(a) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund, in either case, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer in the case of the Trustee, is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (an “Advance Facility”) with any Person (an “Advancing Person”) (1) under which the Master Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to the Advancing person the Master Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances and/or Servicing Advances or (2) which provides that the Advancing Person may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Master Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.23, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or any Servicing Advance or is assigned the right to be reimbursed for any Advance or Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.23(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Master Servicer, and include the Master Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.23. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof and shall not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by the Trust Fund would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to the Trust Fund’s entering such facility.

(b) If, pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the Trustee, then the Master Servicer shall not reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v) prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Advance Facility, to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii) or Section 3.05(a)(v), as the case may be, had the Master Servicer itself funded such Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any Advance Facility agree to in writing delivered to the Trustee. An Advance Facility may provide that the Master Servicer will otherwise cause the remittance of Advance and/or Servicing Advance reimbursement amounts to the Advancing Person, in which case the foregoing sentences in this Section 3.23(b) shall not apply.

(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in first out” (FIFO) basis.

(d) In the event the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, the Advancing Person shall succeed to the terminated Master Servicer’s right of reimbursement set forth in Section 7.02(c) to the extent of such Advancing Person’s financing of or receipt of assignment or pledge of the right to be reimbursed for Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder then remaining unreimbursed.

(e) None of the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement or any other Person shall have any right or claim (including without limitation any right of offset or recoupment) to any amounts allocable under this Agreement to the reimbursement of Advances or Servicing Advances that have been assigned, conveyed or pledged to an Advancing Person, or that relate to Advances or Servicing Advances that were funded by an Advancing Person.

(f) Any amendment to this Section 3.23 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.23, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder but with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates or any other notes secured by collateral which includes all or a portion of the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and/or the Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period shall be distributed by REMIC I to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest P.

Notwithstanding the priorities and amounts of distribution of funds pursuant to this Section 4.01(a)(1), actual distributions of Available Funds shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(2), (3) and (4).

(5) With respect to the Group II Certificates, all principal distributions will be distributed sequentially, to the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C and Class A-2D Certificates, in that order, until their respective Certificate Principal Balances have been reduced to zero.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Group II Certificates exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Group II Mortgage Loans, principal distributions to the Classes of Group II Certificates will be allocated concurrently, on a pro rata basis.

On each Distribution Date, following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and included in the Available Funds for such Distribution Date shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04.

Such distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P Certificates.

(d) All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(g) or Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting 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. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

(e) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on the Certificates.

(f) On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions of the Available Funds, Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account as set forth above, the Trustee shall distribute the amount on deposit in the Swap Account as follows:

seventh, to the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates then entitled to receive distributions in respect of principal, in an amount necessary to maintain the applicable Overcollateralization Target Amount equal to the difference between (x) the Overcollateralization Increase Amount (for the purpose of this section only, without giving effect to clause (B) of the definition of “Overcollateralization Increase Amount”) and (y) the amount distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(i) of this Agreement; and

eighth, sequentially to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8, Class M-9, Class M-10 and Class M-11 Certificates, in that order, in each case up to the related Allocated Realized Loss Amount related to such Certificates for such Distribution Date remaining undistributed after distribution of the Net Monthly Excess Cashflow.

(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates shall be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than five (5) days after the related Determination Date, mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:

(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates shall be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified or its agent; and

(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Underwriters all remaining amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(g).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed to the Holder of such Certificate in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01 from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

(i) It is the intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class CE Certificates receive all principal and interest received by the Trust on the Mortgage Loans that is not otherwise distributable to any other Class of Regular Certificates or REMIC Regular Interests. If the Trustee determines that the Residual Certificates are entitled to any distributions, the Trustee, prior to any such distribution to any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor of such impending distribution. Upon such notification, the Depositor will request an amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to revise such mistake in the distribution provisions. The Residual Certificate Holders, by their acceptance of their Certificates, and the Master Servicer hereby agree and no further consent shall be necessary (other than the consent of the NIMS Insurer), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.

The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer on the Master Servicer Reporting Date immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.

(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, in reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow used to pay principal on the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates under clause (i) of Section 4.01 hereof; second, in reduction of interest accrued on and otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates to the extent of Net Monthly Excess Cashflow available for distribution pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section 4.01(a)(4) hereof; and third, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates (determined after taking into account all distributions made on the Certificates on such Distribution Date), until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. If on any Distribution Date, after all distributions are made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class P Certificates exceeds the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period (after taking into account prepayments during the related Prepayment Period), the amount of such excess shall be allocated: first, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, second, to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, third, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, seventh, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, eighth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, ninth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, tenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and eleventh, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above.

Any such allocation to a Class of Mezzanine Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof (after the actual distributions to be made on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof) by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(v). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.

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

(c)(i) All Realized Losses on the Group I Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular Interest I until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest I-49-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized Losses on the Group II Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular Interest II until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest II-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest II-49-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC I Regular Interests.

(c)(ii) The REMIC II Marker Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM9 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM8 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM7 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM5 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM4 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM2 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and twelfth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.

The REMIC II Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC II Regular Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTXX.

All Realized Losses shall be allocated on each Distribution Date in the same manner and priority as such Realized Losses are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates.

SECTION 4.05.

Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

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 4.06.

Commission Reporting.

(a) (i) The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust Fund’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

(ii) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, pursuant to Rule 13a-17 or Rule 15d-17 of the Exchange Act, file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a report on Form 10-D (“Distribution Report”), signed by the Depositor, that includes a copy of the Monthly Statement to be furnished by the Trustee to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02 and such other information required to be reported by the Trust on Form 10-D, provided, however, that such information is provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Depositor) on or prior to the related Distribution Date prior to the applicable filing deadline. The Trustee will compile the information provided by the Depositor, Master Servicer and any other parties in the Form 10-D and provide such completed Form 10-D to the Depositor to review and verify the completed Form 10-D. The Depositor shall sign the completed Form 10-D and deliver such signed Form 10-D to the Trustee by no later than two Business Days prior to the applicable filing date. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining what information is required to be filed on Form 10-D (unless such information is specific to the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be responsible for making such determination). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Trustee’s failure to receive, on a timely basis as required by this paragraph, any required information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D shall be approved by the Depositor and provided to the Trustee as described in clause (a)(v) below.

(iii) For so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than 12:00 noon on the second Business Day after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”) (i) the parties set forth in Exhibit N shall be required pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(v) below to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee and the Depositor and such party, the form and substance of any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”), if applicable, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this Section 4.06(a)(iii). Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of a Reportable Event, the Depositor shall prepare and the Trustee shall file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any Form 8-K Disclosure Information shall be approved by the Depositor.

No later than the end of business New York City time on the third Business Day after the Reportable Event, a senior officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 8-K and deliver an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K in XXXXX-compatible form (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining what information is required to be filed on a Form 8-K in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (unless such information is specific to the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be responsible for making such a determination) or what events shall cause a Form 8-K to be required to be filed (unless such event is specific to the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be responsible for causing such Form 8-K to be filed). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Trustee’s failure to receive, on a timely basis as required by this paragraph, any Form 8-K from the Depositor.

(iv) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so in accordance with applicable law, the Trustee shall, pursuant to Rule 12h-3 of the Exchange Act, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to (x) March 15, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 20^th of each year thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with the Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20 (including with respect to any Sub-Servicer or subcontractor, if required to be filed). Prior to (x) March 31, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31^st of each year thereafter, the Trustee shall, subject to subsection (d) below, file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Commission staff’s interpretations and conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include the Assessment of Compliance, the Attestation Report and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.19 and 3.20 (including with respect to any Sub-Servicer or subcontractor, if required to be filed) and the Assessment of Compliance and the Attestation Report with respect to the Trustee, and the Form 10-K certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (the “Certification”) signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization; provided that the Trustee shall have received no later than March 1^st (other than the Assessment of Compliance, the Attestation Report and the Certification, no later than March 20^th) of each calendar year prior to the filing deadline for the Form 10-K all information, data and exhibits required to be provided or filed with such Form 10-K and required to be provided to the Trustee as described in clause (c)(v) below. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee will compile the information provided by the Depositor and the Master Servicer in the Form 10-K and provide such completed Form 10-K to the Depositor to review and verify the completed Form 10-K. The Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and deliver the signed Form 10-K, together with the Certification, to the Trustee by no later than March 20^th (or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day). The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining what information is required to be filed on a Form 10-K in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any items specifically set forth in this Agreement or unless such information is specific to the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be responsible for making such determination). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee’s failure to receive, on a timely basis as required by this paragraph, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K.

(v) As to each item of information required to be included in any Form 10-D, Form 8-K or Form 10-K, the Trustee’s obligation to include or provide the information in the applicable report is subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated in Exhibit N as the responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Trustee, as and when required as described above. Each of the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee hereby agree to notify and provide to the other parties all information that is required to be included in any Form 10-D, Form 8-K or Form 10-K, with respect to which that entity is indicated in Exhibit N as the responsible party for providing that information by no later than the times set forth in (iv) above. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration applicable to any Sub-Servicer or originator at any time, for purposes of disclosure as required by Items 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB. The Trustee will provide electronic or paper copies of all Form 10-D, 8-K and 10-K filings free of charge to any Certificateholder upon request.

(vi) The Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects in respect of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the Attestation Report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K). The Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by no later than March 18^th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March 20^th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Master Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon the Trustee’s failure to timely file any Form 10-D, Form 8-K or Form 10-K as required by this Agreement and/or any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements made not misleading contained in any information provided by the Trustee (other than the Attestation Report for the Trustee). The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon the Depositor’s or the Master Servicer’s failure to timely deliver any information required hereunder and/or any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements made not misleading contained in any information provided by the Depositor or the Master Servicer. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer or the Depositor on the one hand or the Trustee on the other, then the other party, in connection with its respective obligations to indemnify hereunder, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer or the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other.

Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such executed report, statement or information.

SECTION 4.10.

Swap Account

(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Swap Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the Interest Rate Swap Provider and the registered holders of Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-R1.” Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested.

(b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account pursuant to 3.05(c)(i): (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment owed to the Interest Rate Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received by the Interest Rate Swap Provider from the counterparty to a replacement similar agreement) from funds collected and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds and (ii) amounts received by the Trustee from the Swap Administrator, for distribution in accordance with subsection (e) below, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Swap Administration Agreement”), among Deutsche Bank National Trust Company in its capacity as Trustee, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company in its capacity as Swap Administrator and Ameriquest Mortgage Company. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Interest Rate Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Interest Rate Swap Provider in respect of the Class SWAP-IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class SWAP-IO Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Interest Rate Swap Provider in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below).

If the Trustee fails to pay any Net Swap Payment owed to the Interest Rate Swap Provider and such failure to pay is not related to insufficient funds in the Distribution Account and such failure to pay would, pursuant to the terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, cause a Swap Termination Payment to be owed to the Interest Rate Swap Provider, the NIMS Insurer may, on behalf of the Trustee and after consultation with the Trustee, pay such Net Swap Payment owed to the Interest Rate Swap Provider. The NIMS Insurer shall be reimbursed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(c).

(c) For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Account shall be owned by the majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates.

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

(e) In connection with paragraph 7(i) of the ISDA Credit Support Annex (as defined in the definition of Interest Rate Swap Agreement herein), upon the Interest Rate Swap Provider’s failure to post collateral with the Trustee, the Trustee (to the extent it has actual knowledge) shall provide, no later than the next Business Day after the date such collateral was required to be posted, to the Interest Rate Swap Provider a written notice of such failure.

SECTION 4.11.

Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.

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

The REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the Base Calculation Amount of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable solely from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Class A or Mezzanine Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Class A or Mezzanine Certificate.

SECTION 4.12.

Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for the registered Holders of Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-R1.” The Trustee shall deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account any payments received by it pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(iv).

(b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amount of such Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a).

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

(d) By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

(e) At the written direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate 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 CE Certificates with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in the Deutsche Bank Institutional Cash Management Fund 541 so long as it is a Permitted Investment. Interest earned on such investment shall be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

ARTICLE V

THE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 5.01.

The Certificates.

(a) The Certificates in the aggregate shall represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in REMIC I. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates shall equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

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

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

If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 in the case of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $100,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

SECTION 5.02.

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee 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. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, any other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee shall at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall have and maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register.

(b) No transfer of any Private Mezzanine Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Private Mezzanine Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall each require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such, or the Trust Fund), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Private Mezzanine Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the Residual Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. If a transfer of an Ownership Interest in the Private Mezzanine Certificates is to be made without registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee (which in the case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificateholder and the Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall be deemed to have represented such certification), to the effect that, among other things, the transfer is being made to a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a Private Mezzanine Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) shall be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Class R Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.

(c) No transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of a Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, such transferee shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Plan or acquiring with Plan Assets of a Plan), unless the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer and on which they may rely, which shall be to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, shall not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and shall not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification shall be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case such transferee shall be deemed to have represented that it is not purchasing with Plan Assets of a Plan) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.

If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner shall be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.

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

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

(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it shall endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.

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

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

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

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

(iii)(A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The 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 5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

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

(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:

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

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

The Trustee shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a copy of the items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.

(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee 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 Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee, shall execute and cause the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, the Class R Certificate for four separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest, the Class R-III Interest and the Class R-IV Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, the Class R-X Certificate for four separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-IV Interest, the Class R-V Interest and the Class R-VI Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.

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

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

(i) The Trustee shall cause the Certificate Registrar (unless the Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Trustee of each transfer of a Certificate and to provide the Trustee with an updated copy of the Certificate Register on the first Business Day in March and August of each year, commencing in March 2006.

(j) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate in violation of the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof shall be void ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held continuously by the prior permitted Holder.

SECTION 5.03.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer 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 actual knowledge by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser or the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee 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 Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 5.04.

Persons Deemed Owners.

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

SECTION 5.05.

Certain Available Information.

On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private Mezzanine Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of the Private Mezzanine Certificates, the Class CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the Residual Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate and/or Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a Holder, Certificate Owner or prospective transferee of a Private Mezzanine Certificate, a Class CE Certificate, a Class P Certificate or a Residual Certificate, the private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such Certificate, if any, in the form most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all certifications delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date to evidence the Master Servicer’s determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, and (E) any and all Officers’ Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.04(a).

The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master Servicer herein.

SECTION 6.02.

Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer.

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the Master Servicer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).

SECTION 6.03.

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

None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or, in the case of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.

SECTION 6.04.

Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee) that such resignation shall not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer acceptable to the NIMS Insurer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.

SECTION 6.05.

Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Master Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer’s (or any such Sub-Servicer’s) written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 6.06.

Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrade by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates and the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreement) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.

Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 6.11 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and shall be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 6.11, provisions relating to insurance in Section 3.10 or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be effected by the Master Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and otherwise by the Trustee, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

SECTION 6.07.

Successor Sub-Servicers.

The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 6.06.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).

SECTION 6.08.

Liability of the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

SECTION 6.09.

No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or Certificateholders.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 6.10. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

SECTION 6.10.

Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.

In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume (or cause its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 to assume) all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 6.07. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 6.07, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

SECTION 6.11.

Sub-Servicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

SECTION 7.01.

Master Servicer Events of Default.

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

(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement (or, if the Master Servicer is the Seller, the failure of the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has been established that requires a repurchase pursuant to the terms of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer; or

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the Master Servicer in good faith, such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment; or

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

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

(vi) any failure by the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer Termination Test; or

(vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master Servicer Remittance Date.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may, at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, or at the direction of the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Trustee as successor Master Servicer or a successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance(which Advance shall be part of Available Funds for such Distribution Date) and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties of a successor Master Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Escrow Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, 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). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice is received by the Trustee of any such event and such notice references the Certificates, REMIC I or this Agreement.

The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

SECTION 7.02.

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master 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 and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.06) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, effective from and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination or immediately upon assumption of the obligations to make Advances, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the above and subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer so request in writing to the Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency (with confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such appointment shall not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates) and acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a successor Master Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of a successor Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master Servicer. The Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the Trustee or any affiliate thereof) (including that such mortgage loan servicing institution shall be acceptable to each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer). Such public announcement shall specify that the successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to the servicing compensation agreed upon between the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer and the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the Servicing Fee. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price they shall pay to obtain such servicing. The Trustee upon receipt of the purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the Master Servicer being so removed, after deducting from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities reasonably incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.

(b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to be made under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 7.02(b), a “Remittance”) because the Master Servicer is the subject of a proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance is prohibited by Section 362 of the federal Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall upon notice of such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice of termination under Section 7.01, advance the amount of such Remittance by depositing such amount in the Distribution Account on the related Distribution Date. The Trustee shall be obligated to make such advance only if (i) such advance, in the good faith judgment of the Trustee can reasonably be expected to be ultimately recoverable from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trustee is not prohibited by law from making such advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon remittance of the Stayed Funds to the Trustee or the deposit thereof in the Distribution Account by the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may recover the amount so advanced, without interest, by withdrawing such amount from the Distribution Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the Trustee’s rights to recover from the Master Servicer’s own funds interest on the amount of any such advance. If the Trustee at any time makes an advance under this Subsection which it later determines in its good faith judgment shall not be ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with respect to which such advance was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such advance, without interest, by withdrawing from the Distribution Account, out of amounts on deposit therein, an amount equal to the portion of such advance attributable to the Stayed Funds.

(c) If the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, then the successor Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself directly for Advances or Servicing Advances under Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii) if the Master Servicer has not been fully reimbursed for its Advances and Servicing Advances, but instead the successor Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.04(g) to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the terminated Master Servicer (or the related Advancing Person in accordance with Section 3.23) and the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent each such Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii), as the case may be. All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in-first out” (FIFO) basis. At such time as the Master Servicer (or related Advancing Person) has been reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances made by it, the successor Master Servicer shall no longer be required to remit in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.02(c) and shall then be permitted to reimburse itself directly for Advances and Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(ii), Section 3.05(a)(iii), Section 3.05(a)(v) or Section 3.05(a)(vii).

SECTION 7.03.

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

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

SECTION 7.04.

Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.

The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights (with the consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates (with the consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.01.

Duties of Trustee.

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

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 on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its respective satisfaction, such dissatisfied party shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.

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 Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of Default 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 that conform 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 or Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(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 NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it, under this Agreement.

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 it to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except 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 Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

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, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

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

(iii) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

(iv) 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) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer as a condition to taking any such action;

(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; and

(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account, the Escrow Account or the REO Account made at the direction of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06.

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

(c) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and to assign any rights to receive payments from the Interest Rate Swap Provider pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement and the Depositor further directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Administration Agreement. The Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund or as Swap Administrator, as the case may be, and not in its individual capacity. 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 Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

SECTION 8.03.

If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

SECTION 8.07.

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation of the Trustee, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have 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 NIMS Insurer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its respective property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.

A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.

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

SECTION 8.08.

Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer 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 the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which Custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more 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 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 any Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register.

SECTION 8.09.

Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, 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 hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master 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 Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to the Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, 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, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the 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 trust 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 Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer.

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.

Appointment of Custodians.

The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the Master Servicer appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall pay any and all fees and expenses of any Custodian in accordance with each Custodial Agreement (provided that if expenses of the kind that would be reimbursable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 if incurred by the Trustee are incurred by the Custodian, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement under Section 8.05 for such kind of expenses to the extent the Trustee has paid such expenses on behalf of the Custodian or for which the Trustee has reimbursed the Custodian). The Trustee initially appoints the Custodian as Custodian, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer consent to such appointment. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 8.12.

Appointment of Office or Agency.

The Trustee shall designate an office or agency in the United States where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final distribution. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee designates the office of its agent located c/o DB Services Tennessee, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Transfer Unit, for such purposes.

(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement shall not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best knowledge, threatened against it which would prohibit it from entering into this Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect either its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC Regular Interests or the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (a) the “latest possible maturity date” and (b) 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. The purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to the sum of (x) any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Interest Rate Swap Provider and (y) the greater of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I and (B) the sum of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised fair market value of the REO Properties plus accrued interest through the end of the calendar month preceding the month of the final Distribution Date and any unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances(in the case of fair market values required to be determined under (A) or (B) above, as determined by the Terminator, the Trustee and, if the Terminator is not the NIMS Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 9.01); provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the note balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and any amounts owed to the NIMS Insurer at the time the option is exercised.

(b) The majority holders of the Class CE Certificates or the Master Servicer, in that order, (or if the holders of the Class CE Certificates and the Master Servicer fail to exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer) shall have the right (the party exercising such right, the “Terminator”), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates shall be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only (A) if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and (B) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer and is an affiliate of the Seller, the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer a written certification that the burdens of servicing the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I exceed the benefits of the Servicing Fees that would be realized by the Master Servicer if it continued to service such assets on behalf of the Trust Fund. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to pledge any amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.

(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC Regular Interests shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 15^th day and not later than the 25^th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund shall terminate and final payment in respect of the REMIC Regular Interests and the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC Regular Interests or the Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day preceding the final Distribution Date on the Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Underwriters all remaining amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

SECTION 9.02.

Additional Termination Requirements.

In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee or the NIMS Insurer may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall ensure that substantially all of the assets of any Trust REMIC shall consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h) On or before April 15^th of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 2007, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating, without regard to any action taken by any party other than the Trustee, the Trustee’s compliance with this Article X.

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

(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund shall not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC shall receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than the Mortgage Pool which are deemed to constitute “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

SECTION 10.03.

Article and Section References.

All article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.

SECTION 11.09.

Grant of Security Interest.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor or the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor or the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor or the Seller and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller and the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Seller’s and the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the Holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 and the transfer pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.

SECTION 11.10.

Third Party Rights.

Each of the NIMS Insurer and the Interest Rate Swap Provider shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, provisions herein that refer to the “benefit” of Certificateholders or the “interests” of the Certificateholders or actions “for the benefit of” Certificateholders also include an implicit reference to the benefits or interests of the NIMS Insurer, if any.

SECTION 11.11.

Intention of the Parties and Interpretation.

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.19, 3.20 and 4.06 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff of the SEC from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, opinion of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with reasonable requests made by the Depositor for delivery of additional or different information, to the extent that such information is available or reasonably attainable, as the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB; provided, however, that any such changes shall require the consent of each of the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above written.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any) and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any) 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer (if any), the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the 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 REMIC I, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

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

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

FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated February 9, 2006, between Ameriquest Mortgage Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), and Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”).

Preliminary Statement

The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter defined) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser shall deposit the Mortgage Loans into a mortgage pool constituting the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced by a single series of asset-backed pass-through certificates designated as Series 2006-R1 (the “Certificates”). The Certificates will consist of twenty classes of certificates. The Class M-11 Certificates, the CE Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates (collectively, the “Non-Offered Certificates”) will be delivered to the Seller or its designee as partial consideration for the Mortgage Loans as further described below.

The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Series 2006-R1 Certificates, dated as of February 1, 2006 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Purchaser as depositor (in such capacity, the “Depositor”), the Seller as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”). Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase. The Seller hereby sells, and the Purchaser hereby purchases, on or before February 23, 2006 (the “Closing Date”), certain adjustable-rate and fixed-rate conventional, one- to four-family, residential mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on February 1, 2006 (the “Cut-off Date”) of $1,500,014,870.05 after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date (the “Closing Balance”), whether or not received, including the right to any Prepayment Charges collected after the Cut-off Date from the Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans. Any payments (including Prepayment Charges) collected on or before the Cut-off Date, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date, shall belong to the Seller. In addition to the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller will direct the Trustee to enter into the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Swap Administration Agreement on behalf of the Trust.

SECTION 2. Mortgage Loan Schedule and Prepayment Charge Schedule. The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and the Seller shall prepare or

cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) describing such Mortgage Loans and setting forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall be used as the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall also prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the “Prepayment Charge Schedule”) setting forth each Mortgage Loan containing a Prepayment Charge and conforming to the definition of Prepayment Charge Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 3.

Consideration.

(a) In consideration for the Mortgage Loans that will be purchased hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, (i) pay to or upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount equal to the net sale proceeds of the Class A and Mezzanine Certificates (other than the Class M-11 Certificates) and (ii) deliver to the Seller or its designee the Non-Offered Certificates.

	(b)	[Reserved].
SECTION 4.			Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.

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

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

(1) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank without recourse or in the following form: “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse,” with all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee, or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit; provided, however, that such substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for

original Mortgage Notes may occur only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of which is less than or equal to 2.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date;

(2) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and a copy, certified by the appropriate recording office, of the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

(3)

an original Assignment assigned in blank without recourse;

(4) the original recorded intervening Assignment or Assignments showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (3) or the original unrecorded intervening Assignments;

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

(6) the original lender’s title insurance policy or an attorney’s opinion of title or similar guarantee of title acceptable to mortgage lenders generally in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, together with all endorsements or riders which were issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien or second lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.

If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(2), 4(b)(3) or 4(b)(4) above has been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Seller hereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon (1) delivery by or on behalf of the Seller promptly upon receipt thereof to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above or the public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof and (2) if such delivered copy is certified by the Seller, then in addition thereto, delivery promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. In the event that the original lender’s title insurance policy has not yet been issued, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company. Promptly upon receipt by the Seller of any such original title insurance policy, the Seller shall deliver such to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser.

The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon mutual agreement between the Seller and the Trustee, following the

later of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Seller receives the Assignment from the Trustee and (iii) the date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in (3) and (4) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in (3) in the following form: “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable agreement”. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, so long as recordation of an Assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s and the Certificateholders’ interests in the related Mortgage Loan under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided further, however, each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller (at the direction of the Master Servicer) in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights or the NIMS Insurer, (ii) a failure of the Master Servicer Termination Test as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (iii) the occurrence of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (v) if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment or Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

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

(c) Acceptance of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered after the Closing Date, within seven (7) days of its delivery) to ascertain that all required documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(d)

[Reserved].

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

enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement shall be promptly reimbursed by the Seller.

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

The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

ACC Capital Holdings Corporation (“ACCH”) agrees with the Purchaser and any assignee of the Purchaser as follows: as an inducement to the Purchaser’s agreement to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and any assignee of the Purchaser against any failure by the Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 7 hereof; provided, however, ACCH may at any time terminate its obligations pursuant to this Section 20 so long as it receives written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such termination would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrade by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused their names to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

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

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

1. The undersigned is an officer of ________________________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), among Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Ameriquest Mortgage Company, as master servicer (the “Servicer”), and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, 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 for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.

2. 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 Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate 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.

4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate 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.)

5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate 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(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. 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.

6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, 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 as Exhibit L 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.

7. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. 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 Certificate.

	8.	The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
	9.	The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).

10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate 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 will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S. person.

12.

Check one of the following:

[_] The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)

the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire such Certificate;

(ii)

the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate; and

(iii)

the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Transferee.

[_] The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)	the Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
(ii)	at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
(iii)	the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and
(iv)	the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.

[_] None of the above.

13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this day of , 20 .
