The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, will execute and deliver on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-1.

Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian will, on behalf of the Trustee and for the benefit of Holders of the Certificates, review each Custodial File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2 have been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the applicable Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2 to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable documents specified in Section 2 of this Agreement are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall review the documents to see that they are executed and are endorsed as in Section 2, but shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. The Custodian shall have no responsibility for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.

(c)

If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part of a Custodial File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered except to alterations which the related borrower has given its written consent) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (each, a “Material Defect”), the Custodian shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certificate delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the applicable Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.

Such Final Certification shall supersede all Initial and Interim Certificates relating to the same Custodial File.

(e)

For purposes of the determinations required to be made by the Custodian pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section, the Custodian shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the diskette, tape or other electronic media (the “Data File”) provided by or on behalf of the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Loans as to whether (i) any guarantee was executed in connection with any Mortgage Loan, (ii) any assumption, modification or substitution agreement was executed in connection with any Mortgage Loan, (iii) primary mortgage guaranty insurance is required with respect to any Mortgage Loan or (iv) any security agreement or equivalent instrument was executed in connection with any Mortgage Loan.

With respect to each Custodial File that is delivered to the Custodian or that comes into the possession of the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement, the Custodian acknowledges and agrees that the Custodian is the custodian for the Trustee exclusively and that the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans has the legal right to, at any time and in its absolute discretion, direct, in writing, the Custodian to release any Custodial File or all Custodial Files to the Trustee or the Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Trustee may designate. The Custodian shall hold each Custodial File received by it for the exclusive use and benefit of the Trustee, and shall make disposition thereof only in accordance with this Agreement and the written instructions furnished by the Trustee. The Custodian shall segregate and maintain continuous custody of all mortgage documents constituting the Custodial File in secure and fire resistant facilities in accordance with customary standards (two-hour fire rated) for such custody. The Custodian shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Custodial Files held by it under this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall allow the Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Custodian's record keeping. The Custodian shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency, due authorization or genuineness of any document in the Custodial File or of any Mortgage Loans or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness including the authority or capacity of any Person to execute or issue any document in the Custodial File, or suitability of any Mortgage Loan unless specified otherwise in this Agreement. The Custodian shall promptly report to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer any failure on its part to hold the Custodial Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy such failure.

Section 5.

Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian shall promptly release and send via overnight mail the related Custodial File within three (3) Business Days to the Servicer or the Subservicer and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Custodial File.

(b)

The Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer and delivery to the Custodian of a request for release and receipt signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, release within three (3) Business Days the related Custodial File held in its possession or control to the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer to return the Custodial File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Subservicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Custodial File shall be released by the Custodian to the Master Servicer or the Servicer or the Subservicer.

Section 6.

Fees of Custodian. All fees of the Custodian for its services under this Agreement, and any expenses incurred but not paid by the Custodian (including but not limited to counsel fees), will be paid by the Seller on behalf of the Depositor. In the event of any default in the payment of such fees and expenses by the Seller, the Custodian shall notify the NIMS Insurer. The Custodian agrees that it will continue to act as Custodian hereunder and perform its duties hereunder, and if after a 60-day period the Seller has failed to pay the Custodian’s fees, the Custodian may seek repayment of such fees from the Trustee who will pay such fees from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account prior to any distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Trust Agreement.

Section 7.

Removal of Custodian With Respect to Some or All of the Mortgage Loans. With or without cause, the Trustee may with 60 day's notice remove and discharge the Custodian with the consent of the NIMS Insurer from the performance of its duties under this Agreement with respect to any or all of the Mortgage Loans by written notice from the Trustee to the Custodian, with a copy to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the applicable Servicer and the NIMS Insurer and delivery of all outstanding Final Certifications. Having given notice of such removal, the Trustee promptly shall, by written instrument, with a copy to the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer and an original to the successor custodian or document custodian, (i) appoint a successor custodian to act on behalf of the Trustee to replace the Custodian under this Agreement, (ii) designate a document custodian to receive the Custodial Files with respect to the Mortgage Loans removed from this Agreement, or (iii) take delivery of the Custodial Files. The Trustee’s appointment of a successor custodian or document custodian shall be subject to the consent of the Depositor (and approval by the NIMS Insurer), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of any such removal, the Custodian shall promptly transfer to the successor custodian, as directed, all affected Custodial Files. In the event of removal of the Custodian for cause and the appointment of a successor custodian under this Agreement, the expenses of transferring the Custodial Files to the successor custodian shall be at the expense of the Custodian. In the event of removal of the Custodian without cause by the Trustee and the appointment of a successor custodian under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be responsible for the expenses of transferring the Custodial Files to the successor custodian. In all cases, the fees of the successor custodian hereunder shall be paid by the Seller on behalf of the Depositor or, if the Seller fails to pay such fees, then as provided in Section 6 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any Mortgage Loans for which this Agreement is not terminated hereunder.

Section 8.

Transfer of Custodial Files Upon Termination. If the Custodian is notified by the Trustee that the Trust Agreement has been terminated, upon written request of the Trustee, the Custodian shall release to such Persons as the Trustee shall designate the Custodial Files relating to such Mortgage Loans as the Trustee shall request.

Section 9.

Examination of Custodial Files. Upon reasonable (but in no event less than two Business Days) prior written notice to the Custodian, the Servicer, the Subservicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and their agents, accountants, attorneys, auditors and prospective purchasers will be permitted during the Custodian's normal business hours to examine the Custodial Files, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Custodian relating to any or all of the Mortgage Loans at the expense of the requesting party.

Section 10.

Insurance of Custodian. At its own expense, the Custodian shall maintain at all times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and effect fidelity insurance, theft of documents insurance, and errors and omissions insurance (which includes forgery insurance). All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as is customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as custodian and in amounts and with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. A certificate of the respective insurer as to each such policy, with a copy of such policy attached, shall be furnished to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, upon request, containing the statement of the insurer or endorsement evidencing that such insurance shall not terminate prior to receipt by the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, by registered mail, of 30 days’ prior written notice thereof.

Section 11.

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

Section 12.

Periodic Statements. On or before December 31 of each year, or upon the written request of the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer at any other time, the Custodian shall provide to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer a list of all the Mortgage Loans for which the Custodian holds a Custodial File pursuant to this Agreement. Such list may be in the form of a copy of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with manual additions and deletions to specifically denote any Mortgage Loans substituted, paid off or repurchased since the date of this Agreement.

Section 13.

GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 14.

Copies of Mortgage Documents. Upon the written request of the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Subservicer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee and at the expense of the Seller, the Custodian shall provide the requestor with copies of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, Assignments of Mortgages and other documents relating to any or all of the Mortgage Loans.

Section 15.

No Adverse Interest of Custodian. By execution of this Agreement, the Custodian represents and warrants that it currently holds, and during the existence of this Agreement shall hold, no adverse interest, by way of security or otherwise, in any Mortgage Loan, and hereby waives and releases any such interest which it may have in any Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof.

Section 16.

Resignation by Custodian. The Custodian may resign as custodian under this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Subservicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee.

In the event of such resignation, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor custodian acceptable to the NIMS Insurer to serve as Custodian hereunder. Upon such appointment the Custodian shall promptly transfer to the successor custodian, as directed, all Custodial Files being administered under this Agreement. If no successor is so appointed and approved by the end of such 60-day period, the Custodian shall deliver all Custodial Files to the Trustee.

Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and believed (which belief may be based upon the opinion or advice of counsel selected by it in the exercise of reasonable care) by it or them to be within the purview of this Agreement, except for its or their own negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct. The Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Custodian may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers, agents and employees be held liable for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and each of their respective officers, directors and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, due to any act or omission by the Custodian with respect to the Custodial Files which constitutes negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Custodian; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be liable to any of the foregoing Persons for any amount and any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, lack of good faith or negligence of such Person. The provisions of this Subsection 20(b) shall survive the termination of this Custodial Agreement.

(c)

The Custodian and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification and defense from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith on their part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the custodial arrangement created hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder.

Section 21.

Custodian Obligations Regarding Genuineness of Documents. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Custodian, the Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instructions, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Custodian, reasonably believed by the Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; provided that the provisions of this Section shall not in any manner limit or reduce the responsibilities of the Custodian under Section 3.

Section 22.

Shipment of Documents. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and the shipper(s) that the Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with transmission of Mortgage Loan Documents in the performance of the Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Depositor to the Custodian prior to any shipment of any Mortgage Loan Documents hereunder. The Seller will arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Custodian’s option, reimburse the Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian consistent with such instructions) and will maintain such insurance against loss or damage to Custodial Files and Mortgage Loan Documents as the Depositor deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 20 above, it is expressly agreed that in no event shall the Custodian have any liability for any losses or damages to any person or property, arising out of actions of the Custodian properly taken pursuant to instructions of the Trustee.

Section 23.

Authorized Representatives. Each individual designated as an authorized representative of the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Subservicer (an “Authorized Representative”) is authorized to give and receive notices, requests and instructions and to deliver certificates and documents in connection with this Custodial Agreement on behalf of the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Subservicer, respectively, and the specimen signature for each such Authorized Representative of the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and each Servicer initially authorized hereunder is set forth on Exhibits C, D, E, F-1 and F-2, respectively. From time to time, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Servicer may, by delivering to the others a revised exhibit, change the information previously given pursuant to this Section, but each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current exhibit until receipt of a superseding exhibit.

Section 24.

Amendments. With the consent of the NIMS Insurer, this Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time by the Trustee and the Custodian in writing, with prior notice by the Trustee to the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Subservicer and the Depositor. In the event of an amendment to the Trust Agreement, the Depositor shall provide a copy of such amendment to the Custodian. No amendments or modifications to the Trust Agreement that have an impact on this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by the Custodian.

Section 25.

Third-Party Beneficiary. The Depositor shall promptly notify the Custodian and the Trustee in writing of the issuance of any class of NIM Securities and of the identity of any NIMS Insurer. Upon receipt of such notice, the parties hereto agree that the NIMS Insurer shall thereafter have the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement as an intended third party beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the NIMS Insurer under this Agreement (other than the right of indemnification) shall exist only so long as the NIM Securities remain outstanding or the NIMS Insurer is owed amounts in respect of its guarantee of payment on such NIM Securities.

Section 26.

Identification of NIMS Insurer. All references in this Agreement to the “NIMS Insurer” shall become operative only after notice from the Depositor to the Trustee and the Custodian of the identification of the NIMS Insurer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee and the Custodian have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.
