and the Sale Agreement to the extent assigned to the Assignor under the GSMC

of the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement.
(c) The Servicer and the Assignor shall have the right to amend,
modify or terminate the Servicing Agreement without the joinder of the

the Assignee.
(d) Countrywide and the Assignor shall have the right to amend,

similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by
general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
5. Representations and Warranties of the Assignor. The Assignor
hereby represents and warrants to the Assignee as follows:
(a) Organization. The Assignor has been duly organized and is

as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date hereof.
(d) Authorization; No Breach. The execution and delivery of this
Assignment Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Assignor; neither the execution and delivery by the
Assignor of this Assignment Agreement, nor the consummation by the Assignor of
the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by the Assignor with the
provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute
a default under, any of the provisions of the governing documents of the
Assignor or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any material judgment,
decree or order binding on the Assignor or any of its properties, or any of
the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or
other instrument to which the Assignor is a party or by which it is bound.
(e) Actions; Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Assignor, threatened, before
or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A)
with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment
Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter that in the judgment of the
Assignor will be determined adversely to the Assignor and will, if determined
adversely to the Assignor, materially adversely affect its ability to perform
its obligations under this Assignment Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive delivery of the
respective mortgage loan documents to the Assignee or its designee and shall
inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the
Assignor or the Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing
representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties to this Assignment Agreement, and
in no event later than two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery.
It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in
Section 6 to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available
to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in this Section 5. It is further
understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the
representations and warranties in this Section 5 with respect to, and to the
extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in
this Section 5, by Countrywide in the Sale Agreement (or any officer's
certificate delivered pursuant thereto).
It is understood and agreed that, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee
other than those contained in this Section 5, and no other affiliate of the
Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the
Assignee.
5
6. Repurchase of Mortgage Loans. Upon discovery or notice of any
breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty or covenant under this
Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any
Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood
that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and
adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of
the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect
or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such
breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects
within sixty (60) days from the date on which it is notified of the breach,
the Assignee may enforce the Assignor's obligation hereunder to repurchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee at the Repurchase Price as defined in the
Sale Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a
Qualification Defect as defined in the Sale Agreement, such cure or repurchase
must take place within ninety (90) days of discovery of such Qualification
Defect.
In the event Countrywide has breached a representation or warranty
under the Sale Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation
or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall first
proceed against Countrywide. If Countrywide does not within ninety (90) days
after notification of the breach, take steps to cure such breach (which may
include certifying to progress made and requesting an extension of the time to
cure such breach, as permitted under the Sale Agreement) or purchase the
Mortgage Loan, the Assignee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of
the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan
from the Trust. In such event, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the
Assignee to enforce the obligations of Countrywide to cure such breach or
repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Sale Agreement with
respect to such Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase of any Mortgage
Loan by the Assignor, the Assignee shall promptly deliver to the Assignor or
its designee the related Mortgage File and shall assign to the Assignor all of
the Assignee's rights under the Sale Agreement, but only insofar as the Sale
Agreement relates to such Mortgage Loan.
Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have
no responsibility to enforce any provision of this Assignment Agreement, to
oversee compliance hereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.
7. Termination; Optional Clean-Up Call. In connection with the
Trust Agreement, the Master Servicer hereby agrees to the following
obligations described below. For purposes of this Section 7 only, any
capitalized term used but not defined in this Assignment Agreement has the
same meaning assigned thereto in the Trust Agreement.
In the event that a Person specified in Section 11.01 of the Trust
Agreement chooses to exercise its option set forth therein to purchase the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or to conduct an Auction Call for such
property of the Trust Fund, as the case may be, by no later than the 10th day
of the month of the final distribution, such Person shall notify the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Securities Administrator of the
final Distribution Date and of the applicable purchase or sale price of the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties determined and in the manner as provided in
the Trust Agreement.
6
In the event the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties are purchased
or sold pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall
remit to the Securities Administrator the applicable Termination Price on the
Remittance Date immediately preceding the applicable final Distribution Date.
Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the
Securities Administrator and the Custodians of a Request for Release therefor,
the Master Servicer shall direct the Custodians to release to the Master
Servicer or its designee the Custodial Files for the Mortgage Loans.
8. Continuing Effect. Except as contemplated hereby, the Servicing
Agreement and the Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in
accordance with their respective terms.
