Section 2.11 Designation of REMIC and Interests Therein.

(a) For purposes of the REMIC Provisions: the Trust Estate shall be treated as comprising two segregated accounts each of which will be a real estate mortgage investment conduit (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Lower Tier REMIC” and the “Upper Tier REMIC”); each of the Notes and the Class B Certificates shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC; the Class L Certificate shall represent the sole class of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC; and the Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.

(b) For purposes of the REMIC provisions the Lower Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the Trust Estate and shall be deemed to have issued the Class L Certificate and the uncertificated interests in the Lower Tier REMIC (each, a “Lower-Tier Interest”). The following table describes the designation, interest rate, and initial principal balance for the Class L Certificate and each Lower-Tier Interest and shows the Notes or corresponding class of Certificates.

				Corresponding
Lower-Tier	Lower-Tier Interest	Initial Principal		Class of Notes
Designation	Rate	Balance		or Certificates

LT-Notes	(1)	$	325,000,000	Notes
LT-Q	(1)	$	325,002,683	N/A
Class L Certificate	(2)	$	0	N/A

(1)	The interest rate with respect to any Payment Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for each of these Lower-Tier Interests is the Maximum Rate.

(2)	The interest rate with respect to any Payment Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) during the Managed Amortization Period for the Class L Certificates is the Note Rate for such Payment Date, and for each Payment Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) thereafter, the Maximum Rate.

On each Payment Date, for purposes of the REMIC provisions:

           (1) The fees and expenses of the Trust paid from amounts on deposit in the Payment Account pursuant to Section 5.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be treated as having been paid as an expense of the Lower Tier REMIC;

           (2) During the Managed Amortization Period, amounts remaining in the Payment Account after the payments under priority (1) above shall be paid on the Class L Certificate to the extent of any interest accrued thereon at the rate described above;

           (3) Amounts remaining in the Payment Account after the payments under priorities (1) and (2) above shall be paid on each of the Lower-Tier Interests at the rates described above, pro rata, based on the amount of interest accrued on each such Lower-Tier Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period, provided however, that interest that accrues on the LT-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount necessary to make the principal distributions described under priority (5) below for such Payment Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the LT-Q Interest;

           (4) During the Managed Amortization Period, amounts remaining in the Payment Account after the payments under priorities (1), (2), and (3) above shall be paid on the Class L Certificate until its Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero;

	ii.	During the Rapid Amortization Period, first, to the LT-Q Lower-Tier Interest until the its principal balance equals the sum of (A) 50% of the Note Principal Amount of the Notes immediately after such Payment Date plus (B) the excess of (I) the Overcollateralization Amount immediately after such Payment

		Date over (II) the Additional Balance Advance Amount immediately after such Payment Date, and then, to the Class L Certificate, any remaining amount.

On each Payment Date, Investor Charge-off Amounts (as defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) shall be allocated to and applied in reduction of the principal balance of the Lower-Tier Interests and the Class L Certificate in the same manner in which principal is distributed on the Lower-Tier Interests pursuant to priorities (5) and (6) above.

(c) For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the Lower-Tier Interests and shall issue the interests described in the table below, each of which will relate to the Notes or corresponding Class of Certificates. The following table describes the designation, interest rate, initial principal balance and the Notes or corresponding Class of Certificates for each interest.

			Corresponding
Upper-Tier	Upper-Tier		Class of Notes
Designation	Interest Rate	Initial Principal Balance	or Certificates

UT-Notes	(1)	$650,000,000	Notes
UT-B	(2)	(initial Overcollateralization Amount)	B
Class R	(3)	(4)	R

(1)	The interest rate with respect to any Payment Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for each of these Upper-Tier Interests is the Note Rate applicable to the Notes for the Payment Date.

(2)	The UT-B Upper-Tier Interest shall comprise two components, each of which is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The first component is a principal-only component and represents the right to receive distributions from the Upper Tier REMIC in an amount equal to the Overcollateralization Amount determined as of the Closing Date. The second component is an interest-only component and represents the right to receive on each Payment Date interest accrued on the Lower-Tier Interests at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Maximum Rate over (ii) the product of (a) two multiplied by (b) the weighted average of the interest rates for such payment date on the Lower-Tier Interests, weighted on the basis of their principal balances as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after taking into account payments made on such date) and computed for this purpose by subjecting the interest rate on the LT-Q Lower-Tier Interest to a cap of 0.00% and subjecting the interest rate on each of the LT-Notes, Lower-Tier Interests to a cap equal to the Note Rate in effect for such Payment Date on the Notes.

(3)	For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the R Upper-Tier Interest is the sole residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

On each Payment Date, the payments made on each Upper-Tier Interest shall correspond to the payments required to be made on the Notes or Certificates under the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement of this Agreement, provided, however, that any payments made on any of the Notes with respect to Deferred Interest shall be treated as payments made by the Upper Tier REMIC in respect of the UT-B Interest, and therefore, to the holder of the Class B Certificates, and then paid by the holder of the Class B Certificates to the holders of the Notes. For federal income tax purposes, the rights of the holders of the Notes to receive payments of Deferred Interest shall be treated as contractual rights to receive payments under a notional principal

contract written by the holder of the Class B Certificates in favor of the holders of the Notes. For federal income tax reporting purposes, this notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value of zero on the Closing Date.

Section 2.12 Designation of Start-up Day. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “start-up day” of each REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

Section 2.13 REMIC Notes Maturity Date. Solely for purposes of satisfying Section 1.860G -1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the “latest possible maturity date” of each Lower-Tier Interest and each Upper-Tier Interest and, therefore, the Notes and the Class B Certificates, is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

Section 2.14 Withholding Taxes. In the event that any withholding tax is imposed under federal, state, or local law on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Certificateholder in accordance with this Section 2.14. The Administrator is hereby authorized and directed to retain in the Certificate Account from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Administrator from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Registrar will provide the Administrator with a statement indicating the amount of any such withholding tax. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Administrator and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority from the Payment Account at the direction of the Administrator. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Administrator may in its sole discretion direct the Administrator to withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph. In the event that a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees in writing to reimburse the Owner Trustee and the Administrator for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

Section 2.15 Tax Returns.

(a) For federal income tax purposes, each of the REMICs created hereunder shall have a calendar year taxable year and shall maintain its books on the accrual method of accounting.

(b) The Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax and information returns for each taxable year with respect to each REMIC containing such information at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the REMICs and the Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby. Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise required by the

Code, the name, title, address and telephone number of the person that holders of the Securities may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code. Such federal, state, or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Administrator, or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules.

           (c) In the first federal income tax return of each REMIC for their short taxable year ending December 31, 2006, REMIC status shall be elected by the Administrator for such taxable year and all succeeding taxable years.

           (d) The Administrator shall maintain or cause to be maintained such records relating to each REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the Trust, and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the Trust Estate and assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information.

           (e) If any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code) of each REMIC created hereunder, on any contribution to any REMIC created hereunder after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including any minimum tax imposed on any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Administrator, if any such other tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Administrator in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Depositor, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Depositor of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) in all other cases, or if the Administrator or the Depositor fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Residual Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.11 of this Agreement.

Section 2.16 Investment Company. None of the Depositor, the Administrator and any Certificateholder shall take any action which would cause the Trust to become an “investment company” which would be required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

ARTICLE III
THE CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

Section 3.01 The Certificates. Each Class of the Certificates shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form and shall initially be registered in the name of the Initial Holder. The Class B Certificate shall be issued in minimum denominations of 1% Percentage Interest in such Certificates. The Class L Certificates shall not be issued in authorized denominations of less than a 100% Percentage Interest in such Certificates. The Class R Certificates shall not be issued in authorized denominations of less than a 100% Percentage Interest in such Certificates. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an

Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated in the manner provided in Section 3.02. A Certificate bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificate. A Person shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such Person’s acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such Person’s name pursuant to Section 3.03.

Section 3.02 Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Certificates. Concurrently with the sale of the Collateral to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates issued hereunder to be executed on behalf of the Trust and authenticated and delivered to the Initial Holder. The Depositor hereby directs the Owner Trustee to so deliver the Certificates. The Certificates shall not entitle its Holder to any benefits under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibits X-0, X-0 and A-3 hereto, respectively, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Administrator, as the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. A Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 3.03 Registration of and Limitations on Transfers and Exchanges of the Certificates.

(a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Certificates as herein provided; provided, however, that no Class R Certificate or Class L Certificate shall be issued in any such transfer and exchange representing less than a 100% Percentage Interest in such Certificate. The Administrator shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. If the Certificate Registrar resigns or is removed, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor, shall appoint a successor Certificate Registrar.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of a Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or cause the Administrator as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate evidencing the Percentage Interest of the Certificate so surrendered and dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar.

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or

exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

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

Except for the initial issuance of the Class L and Class R Certificates on the Closing Date, no Person shall become a Certificateholder of Class L or Class R Certificates until it shall establish its non-foreign status by submitting to the Certificate Paying Agent an IRS Form W-9 and the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status set forth in Exhibit D hereto.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any transfer or exchange of a Class L Certificate or a Class R Certificate for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such Residual Certificates.

(b) The Certificates shall be assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, financed, hypothecated or otherwise conveyed (collectively, for purposes of this Section 3.03 and any other Section referring to the Certificates, “transferred” or a “transfer”) only in accordance with this Section 3.03.

(c) No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and such laws. Each prospective transferee of a Certificate, other than the Initial Holder, shall represent and warrant, in writing, to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that:

(I) Such Person is (A) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (such Person shall execute an investment letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 to such effect) and is aware that the seller of such Certificate may be relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and is acquiring such Certificate for its own account or for the account of one or more qualified institutional buyers for whom it is authorized to act or (B) an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of the Securities Act (such Person shall execute an investment letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 to such effect) and is aware that the seller of such Certificate is relying on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and is acquiring such Certificate for its own account;

(II) Such Person understands that such Certificate has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only to a person (A) whom the seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” or (B) an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3)

or (7) of the Securities Act, in each case in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; and

           (III) Such Person shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.07, as applicable, relating to the ERISA restrictions with respect to the acceptance or acquisition of such Certificate.

           (d) For so long as any of the Certificates are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Administrator agrees to cooperate with the Depositor to provide to any Certificateholders and to any prospective purchaser of Certificates designated by such Certificateholder, upon the request of such Certificateholder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrator in providing such information shall be reimbursed by the Depositor.

           (e) Each prospective transferee of any Class L or Class R Certificate, other than the Initial Holder, shall execute and deliver the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D).

           (f) Each Person that has or that acquires any Ownership Interest in any Class L or Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Certificate Registrar or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in the Class L or Class R Certificates are expressly subject to the following provisions:

           (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class L or Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

           (ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class L or Class R Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

           (iii) No Ownership Interest in a Class L or Class R Certificate may be transferred without the express written consent of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar. In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class L or Class R Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall as a condition to such consent, require delivery to it, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

           (A) an affidavit in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto from the proposed transferor, and an affidavit in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class L or Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

           (B) a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Class L or Class R Certificate.

           (iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class L or Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03, become a holder of a Class L or Class R Certificate, then the prior holder of such Class L or Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Class L or Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03, be restored to all rights as holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Class L or Class R Certificate. The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any Class L or Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03 or for making any distributions due on such Class L or Class R Certificate to the holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar received all affidavits and covenants with respect to such transfer provided for under this Section 3.03. The Certificate Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trust, shall be entitled to recover from any holder of a Class L or Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class L or Class R Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Certificate Paying Agent shall be distributed and delivered by the Certificate Paying Agent to the prior holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

           (v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class L or Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.03, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the holder of such Class L or Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the underwriter to arrange for the sale of such Class L or Class R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Paying Agent to the previous holder of such Class L or Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Certificate Paying Agent determines that the holder of such

Class L or Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section 3.03 or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate Paying Agent may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Paying Agent, and neither such Person shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class L or Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class L or Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.03, then the Administrator will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(1) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations.

(g) Each Person that has or that acquires any Ownership Interest in any Class L Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound to make advances and purchase Additional Balances through funding of the Reserve Account as and to the extent set forth in Section 2.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.04 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Certificates. If (a) a mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or (b) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction that a Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, and there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar proof of ownership satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, together with such security or indemnity as required by the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.04, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar (including any fees and expenses of counsel) and any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 3.05 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer or any Certificate Paying Agent may treat the holder as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer or any Certificate Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 3.06 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor, the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer and no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or the Owner Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, in such form as the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably require, of the name and address of the holder as of the most recent Record Date. A holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer or the Owner Trustee accountable or liable for damages by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 3.07 ERISA Restrictions. The Certificates may not be acquired or transferred to a transferee, other than the Initial Holder or its affiliate, for or, on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement that is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any entity deemed to hold the “plan assets” of the foregoing (each, a “Benefit Plan”). Each prospective transferee, other than the Initial Holder or its affiliate, shall represent and warrant to the Certificate Registrar that it is not a Benefit Plan, in accordance with Exhibit C-1, C-2 or E-1 or E-2 hereto, as applicable. By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, as the case may be, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

Section 3.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar on behalf of the Trust, shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where a Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Transaction Documents may be served. The Certificate Registrar shall give the Owner Trustee prompt notice, in writing, of any such notice or demand. The Certificate Registrar initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Administrator as its office for such purposes. The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer and no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

Section 3.09 Certificate Paying Agent.

(a) The Owner Trustee may appoint, and hereby appoints, the Administrator as Certificate Paying Agent under this Agreement. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholders from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof and, upon request, shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. The Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Administrator hereby accepts such appointment and further agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement relating to the Certificate Paying Agent and shall:

           (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Person or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

           (ii) give the Owner Trustee notice of any default by the Trust of which a Responsible Officer of the Administrator has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Certificates;

           (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Owner Trustee forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums so held in Trust by such Certificate Paying Agent;

           (iv) immediately resign as Certificate Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Certificates if at any time it ceases to meet the standards under this Section 3.09 required to be met by the Certificate Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

           (v) not institute bankruptcy proceedings against the Trust in connection with this Agreement.

           (b) In the event that the Administrator shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent hereunder, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor, shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholder. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee, and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent, such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 5.03, 5.04, 6.01, 6.05, 6.07, 6.08, 7.01 and 7.02 shall apply to the Administrator also in its role as Certificate Paying Agent for so long as the Administrator shall act as Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other Certificate Paying Agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent shall be the same entity as the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement unless an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Indenture Trustee determines or is advised that a conflict of interest exists or will exist if the Indenture Trustee continues to act as Administrator and Certificate Paying Agent. In such event, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying

Agent shall resign and the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor, shall appoint a successor Administrator in accordance with the Administration Agreement.

Section 3.10 Initial Beneficiary. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

Section 3.11 Distributions on the Certificates. The Certificateholders will be entitled to distributions on each Payment Date, as provided in this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture. With respect to any Payment Date, any amounts remaining in the Payment Account for payment to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(II) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to the extent such funds are received by the Owner Trustee, shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee as follows:

(i) with respect to any Payment Date during the Managed Amortization Period, concurrently , to the Class B Certificateholders and the Class L Certificateholders, pro rata based on their respective Class Principal Balances; and

(ii) with respect to any Payment Date during the Rapid Amortization Period, concurrently , to the Class B Certificateholders;

provided, further, on the Payment Date on which the Optional Redemption Price is distributed, the portion, if any, of the Optional Redemption Price equal to the sum of the Class Principal Balance of the Class L Certificates shall be distributed pursuant to this Section 3.11 to the Class L Certificateholders, and the portion remaining, if any, of the Optional Redemption Price equal to the Class Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates shall be distributed pursuant to this Section 3.11 to the Class B Certificateholders, as applicable.

With respect to each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee, to the extent the Servicer has provided the Mortgage Loan data delivered by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.09(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the “Indenture Trustee Report”), shall deliver or make available the report to be provided by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement for such Payment Date to each Residual Certificateholder.

ARTICLE IV
APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

Section 4.01 Certificate Account. All of the right, title and interest of the Trust in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Account and in all proceeds thereof shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and such other persons entitled to payments therefrom. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

The Certificate Account shall be subject to and established and maintained in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement regarding distributions from the Certificate Account.

Section 4.02 Application of Trust Funds.

           (a) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall direct the Certificate Paying Agent to distribute to the Certificateholders, from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account, the distributions as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date. The Owner Trustee hereby directs the Certificate Paying Agent to distribute on each Payment Date to the Certificateholders amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Paying Agent hereby acknowledges such direction.

           (b) All payments to be made under this Agreement by the Certificate Paying Agent shall be made only from the income and proceeds of the Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Certificate Paying Agent has received such income or proceeds. The Bank shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.02 except to the extent that non-payment is due to the Owner Trustee’s acts or omissions amounting to willful misconduct or gross negligence.

For as long as the Trust shall exist, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator, in connection with any actions taken by any such Person on behalf of the Trust, shall act in accordance herewith for the purpose of continuing treatment of each REMIC as a REMIC and avoid the imposition of tax on any REMIC.

Section 4.05 Segregation of Moneys; No Interest.

The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Notes, the Certificates, and the other Transaction Documents to which it is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and any amendment or other agreement or instrument described herein, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof, and, on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Owner Trustee to authenticate the Notes. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.02 General Duties.

(a) It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders subject to the Transaction Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Transaction Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee or the Trust hereunder or under any Transaction Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement, this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, respectively; and

It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to cooperate with the Depositor with respect to such matters.

Section 5.03 Action Upon Instruction.

(a) Subject to Article V and in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, a Certificateholder or the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer and no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust, but only to the extent consistent with the limited purpose of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of a Certificateholder or the Insurer pursuant to this Article V.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Transaction Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Transaction Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, or in the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders and the Insurer requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted and, to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Certificateholders or the Insurer, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Insurer, and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

Section 5.04 No Duties Except as Specified under Specified Documents or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.03; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Transaction Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to the Trust or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Transaction Document or to prepare or file any tax return for the Trust. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against the Bank that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents to the contrary (but in all cases subject to Sections 5.09(g) and (h)), the Owner Trustee shall not, without the Insurer’s prior written consent or unless directed by the Insurer, undertake or join any litigation or agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation affecting the Trust, the Trust Estate, the Collateral or the rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Transaction Documents.

In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.02.

Section 9.02 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer) and the Indenture Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and, so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer, the Insurer. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may, and at the written direction of the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer), shall, remove the Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.03 Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer) and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer), the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.

Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer) the Owner Trustee shall mail notice to the Insurer.

Section 9.05 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate or any Collateral may at the time be located, and for the purpose of performing certain duties and obligations of the Owner Trustee with respect to the Trust and the Certificates under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee and the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer and no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.

The Owner Trustee hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as Administrator for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the Certificate Account and making the distributions therefrom to the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to Section 5.01 and Section 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Owner Trustee and the Administrator each agree that upon the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Event of Default and a determination by the Indenture Trustee that a conflict of interest exists or will exist if the Indenture Trustee continues to act as the Administrator, the Administrator shall resign and the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor Administrator in accordance with the Administration Agreement.

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

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

(b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

(c) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to the separate trustees and co-trustees, as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee, other than this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement and to the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of appointment, shall be vested with the estates specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner 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 Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator and the Insurer (so long as the Notes are Outstanding or any Reimbursement Amounts remain due and owing to the Insurer).

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as 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 Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

OWNER TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Class B Certificates referred to in the within-mentioned Trust Agreement.

WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY,
not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee

By: ______________________________
Authenticating Agent

A-1-4

The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated December 6, 2006, between IndyMac ABS, Inc. (the “Depositor”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated December 21, 2006 (as further amended, modified or supplemented, the “Trust Agreement”) between the Depositor, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as administrator (the “Administrator ”) and the Owner Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

This Class B Certificate is one of the duly authorized Class B Certificates designated as “IndyMac Home Equity Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Trust, Series 2006-H4 Asset-Backed Certificates, Class B” (herein called, together with the IndyMac Home Equity Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Trust, Series 2006-H4 Asset-Backed Certificates, Class L and the IndyMac Home Equity Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Trust, Series 2006-H4 Asset-Backed Certificates, Class R, the “Certificates”). Also issued by the Trust under the Indenture are Notes (the “Notes”). These Class B Certificates are issued under and are subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Class B Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes a pool of certain adjustable rate home equity revolving line of credit loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) (including any Additional Balances related thereto).

Under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2006, between the Issuer, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, there will be distributed on the 25 ^thday of each month or, if such 25^thday is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (the “Payment Date”), commencing in January 2007 to the Person in whose name this Class B Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the preceding calendar month (the “ Record Date”) such Class B Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest in the amount to be distributed to Class B Certificateholders on such Payment Date.

The holder of this Class B Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Class B Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

The holder of this Class B Certificate, by acceptance of this Class B Certificate, specifically acknowledges that it has no right to or interest in any monies at any time held in the Trust Estate prior to the release of such monies pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(II) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, such monies being held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that it is ever determined that the monies held in the Trust Estate constitute a pledge of collateral, then the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be considered to constitute a security agreement and the Certificateholder of this Class B Certificate hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer a first priority perfected security interest in such amounts. In addition, each Class B Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Class B Certificate, hereby appoints the Depositor as its agent to pledge a first priority perfected security interest in the Trust Estate and agrees to execute

A-1-5

and deliver such instruments of conveyance, assignment, grant, confirmation, etc., as well as any financing statements, in each case as the Insurer shall consider reasonably necessary in order to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Estate.

Each Class B Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Class B Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Class B Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Trust, the Seller or the Depositor, or join in any institution against the Trust, the Seller or the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Class B Certificates, the Trust Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

Distributions on this Class B Certificate will be made as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture by the Owner Trustee by wire transfer to the Class B Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Class B Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Class B Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class B Certificate at the office or agency maintained for the purpose by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Class B Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

The Class B Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Seller, the Depositor, a Servicer, the Servicer, the Insurer, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Transaction Documents. In addition, this Class B Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein, in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and in the Indenture. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor, by any Class B Certificateholder upon written request.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Administrator and the rights of the Class B Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee with the prior written consent of the Insurer and with the consent of the holders of the Notes and the Class B Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the outstanding Notes and the Class B Certificates. Any such amendment shall be conclusive and binding upon the holder of this Class B Certificate and on all future holders of this Class B Certificate and of any Class B Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this

A-1-6

Class B Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the holders of any of the Class B Certificates (other than the Initial Holder, or the Insurer).

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Class B Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class B Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class B Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Deutsche Bank National Trust Company.

The Class B Certificates are issuable only as registered Class B Certificates without coupons in minimum Percentage Interests of 1%. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class B Certificates are exchangeable for new Class B Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, or the Insurer may treat the person in whose name this Class B Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Class B Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Servicer may at its option redeem the Notes at a price and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and if all of the Notes are redeemed, such redemption may result in termination of the Trust which may effect a transfer of the Class B Certificates; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Class B Certificate or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Class B Certificate shall not

A-1-7

entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

A-1-8

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Class B Certificate to be duly executed.

Distributions on this Class L Certificate will be made as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture by the Owner Trustee by wire transfer to the Class L Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Class L Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Class L Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class L Certificate at the office or agency maintained for the purpose by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Class L Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

The Class L Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Seller, the Depositor, a Servicer, the Servicer, the Insurer, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Transaction Documents. In addition, this Class L Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein, in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and in the Indenture. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor, by any Class L Certificateholder upon written request.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Administrator and the rights of the Class L Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee with the prior written consent of the Insurer and with the consent of the holders of the Notes and the Class L Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the outstanding Notes and the Class L Certificates. Any such amendment shall be conclusive and binding upon the holder of this Class L Certificate and on all future holders of this Class L Certificate and of any Class L Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Class L Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited

A-2-6

circumstances, without the consent of the holders of any of the Class L Certificates (other than the Initial Holder, or the Insurer).

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Class L Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class L Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class L Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Deutsche Bank National Trust Company.

The Class L Certificates are issuable only as registered Class L Certificates without coupons in minimum Percentage Interests of 100%. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class L Certificates are exchangeable for new Class L Certificates evidencing the same denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, or the Insurer may treat the person in whose name this Class L Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Class L Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Servicer may at its option redeem the Notes at a price and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and if all of the Notes are redeemed, such redemption may result in termination of the Trust which may effect a transfer of the Class L Certificates; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Class L Certificate or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Class L Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Re:	IndyMac Home Equity Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Trust 2006-H4
	Series 2006-H4

_______________________ (the “Transferor”) has reviewed the attached affidavit of _____________________________ (the “Transferee”), and has no actual knowledge that such affidavit is not true and has no reason to believe that the information contained in paragraph 7 thereof is not true, and has no reason to believe that the Transferee has the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any federal, state or local taxes legally required to be paid with respect to the Class [L][R] Certificate. In addition, the Transferor has conducted a reasonable investigation at the time of the transfer and found that the Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came due and found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due.

	Very truly yours,
