PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates.

REMIC I

As provided herein, the Securities Administrator will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets as set forth in the definition of REMIC I subject to this Agreement (exclusive of the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Swap Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I”. The Class R-1 Interest will represent the sole Class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, and for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests. None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator.

Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File.

For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Securities Administrator will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all the Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate of such deficiencies, described in the preceding sentence for any Distribution Date (such amount, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account by the Sponsor delivering such Replacement Mortgage Loan on or before the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan was required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that the Sponsor shall be required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in Custodial Account, on or before the Determination Date immediately following the date on which the Sponsor was required to repurchase such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator on the Remittance Date occurring in the month immediately following the month in which the Purchase Price was deposited in the Custodial Account.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Sponsor to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred or is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Sponsor respecting such breach available to each Certificateholder, the Depositor or the Trustee.

(e) The Master Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants with the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer as follows, as of the Closing Date:

(i) The Master Servicer is a national banking association duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement to be conducted by the Master Servicer;

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS; ACCOUNTS

Section 3.01 The Servicer to act as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interest of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) and the Certificate Insurer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and to the extent consistent with such terms and in accordance with and exercising the same care in performing those practices that the Servicer customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account and of the same type as such Mortgage Loans in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Properties are located (including, compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws).

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes related to the Mortgage Loans and shall waive a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans and (ii) either (A) such waiver is related to a default or reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default or (B) such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan unrelated to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default where (x) the related Mortgagor has stated to the Servicer an intention to refinance the related Mortgage Loan and (y) the Servicer has concluded in its reasonable judgment that the waiver of such Prepayment Charge would induce such Mortgagor to refinance with the Servicer, (iii) the Servicer reasonably believes such Prepayment Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection of such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable law or (iv) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting both of the standards described in clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above, then the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge (the “Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount”), for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Custodial Account within ninety (90) days of notice or discovery of such waiver meeting the standard set forth in both clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not waive more than five percent (5%) of the Prepayment Charges (by number of Prepayment Charges) set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the Servicer in respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above and the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Servicer waives a Prepayment Charge in breach of the foregoing paragraph, the Servicer will pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, from its own funds without any right of reimbursement, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates by depositing such amount into the Custodial Account within ninety (90) days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of such breach. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the Servicer in respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust Fund.

Subject only to the above-described applicable servicing standards (the “Accepted Servicing Practices”) and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.03, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any related Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided herein), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) subject to Section 3.09, to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Trust, the Depositor or the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust, the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by any or all of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer. In addition, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish to it any special or limited powers of attorney agreeable to the Trustee and its counsel applicable to all locations in which the Mortgaged Properties are located and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties, provided such limited powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and submitted to the Trustee for review prior to execution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee shall in no way be liable or responsible for the willful malfeasance of the Servicer, or for the wrongful or negligent actions taken by the Servicer, while the Servicer is acting pursuant to the powers granted to it in this paragraph.

In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of this Section 3.01, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans in order to preserve the lien on the Mortgaged Property, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.27, and further as provided in Section 3.32. All costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the payments of such taxes and assessments on the related Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

Section 3.02 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.02, when any Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan serviced by the Servicer if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.02(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the related Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.02(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.02(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption that the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing.

(b) Subject to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.02(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including, but not limited to, (a) the Mortgage Rate, (b) the amount of the Scheduled Payment, (c) the related Index, Gross Margin, Periodic Rate Cap, Adjustment Date, Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Mortgage Interest Rate, and (d) any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the related Mortgage Loan) may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Section 3.03 Subservicers.

The Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans; provided, however that any Subservicer will be subject to the consent of the Certificate Insurer. Any subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder and the Servicer shall cause any Subservicer to comply with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, to provide the information required to be delivered under Sections 3.13, 3.14 and 3.18 hereof), to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer. Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. The Servicer shall promptly, upon request, provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subservicer utilized by the Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subservicer, (ii) which (if any) of such Subservicer is “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subservicer identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this subsection; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to provide the information in clause (i) or (ii) of this subsection until such time that the applicable assessment of compliance is due in accordance with Section 3.14 of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer engaged by it and delivering to the Master Servicer any annual statement of compliance, assessment of compliance, attestation report and Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx related certification as and when required to be delivered. The Servicer shall pay all fees of each of its Subservicers from its own funds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled to outsource one or more separate servicing functions to any person that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer (each such person, a “Subcontractor”), so long as such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of the Servicer’s obligation to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to such Subcontractor. The Servicer shall promptly, upon request, provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subservicer and Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this subsection. In such event, the use by the Servicer of any such Subcontractor shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subcontractor as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer, and the Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subcontractor from the Servicer’s own funds.

As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by it for the benefit of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.13, 3.14 and 3.18 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Master Servicer and any Depositor any compliance statement, assessment of compliance, attestation report and Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx related certification required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 3.13, 3.14 and 3.18, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account, the Servicer shall, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a Subservicer or Subcontractor and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer or Subcontractor; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at its option, from electing to service the Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each Subservicer and Subcontractor with respect to the Mortgage Loans effective as of the date of the Servicer’s termination. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each Subservicer and Subcontractor from the Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer or Subcontractor, as applicable, for indemnification of the Servicer by the Subservicer or Subcontractor, as applicable, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer or Subcontractor shall be deemed to be between such Subservicer or Subcontractor and the Servicer alone, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer or Subcontractor including any obligation, duty or liability of Master Servicer or the Trustee to pay such Subservicer’s or Subcontractor’s fees and expenses or any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer under this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement. For purposes of remittances to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a Subservicer or Subcontractor engaged by the Servicer has received such payment.

Section 3.04 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Securities Administrator for any funds received by the Servicer or that otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any such Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Custodial Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Custodial Account, the Distribution Account or in any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of set off against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 3.05 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such REO Property and (ii) the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.27. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If a Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, or having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.05, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.05, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Custodial Account maintained by the Servicer from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the related Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, upon request, with copies of such insurance policies and fidelity bond (or waiver thereof). The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its Affiliates has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Master Servicer. The Servicer shall also cause its Subservicers to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.

Section 3.06 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Servicer shall prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer all claims under the applicable Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such Insurance Policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Servicer in respect of such Insurance Policies shall, within two Business Days of its receipt, be deposited in the Custodial Account, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 3.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

The Servicer shall not take any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the related Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), any applicable Insurance Policy. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder.

Section 3.08 Reserved.

Section 3.09 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses; Repurchases of Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account). If a Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days delinquent and the Servicer, in its reasonable good faith judgment, determines that the recovery of principal with respect to such Mortgage Loan will not materially be in excess of the cost of foreclosure or other liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, then the Servicer will be deemed to have made a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the Servicer may charge off such Mortgage Loan at any time thereafter. If the Servicer reasonably believes that Liquidation Proceeds with respect to any such Mortgage Loan would not be increased as a result of such foreclosure or other action, such Mortgage Loan will be charged-off and will become a Liquidated Loan. The Servicer will give notice of any such charge-off to the Securities Administrator. The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided that such costs and expenses shall be Servicing Advances and that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.27. If the Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer shall, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.

With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or the Trustee’s nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders) and the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Servicer and the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Securities Administrator a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Securities Administrator to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Custodial Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as may be required.

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request from the Internal Revenue Service more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (such opinion not to be an expense of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause REMIC I to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject REMIC I to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any Mortgaged Properties acquired through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances, Servicing Advances and any management fee paid or to be paid with respect to the management of such Mortgaged Property, shall be applied to the payment of principal of, and interest on, the defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in the Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Custodial Account. To the extent the income received during a Prepayment Period is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be considered to be a partial Principal Prepayment for all purposes hereof.

The Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt thereof for distribution on the Distribution Date, except that any Excess Liquidation Proceeds shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees, pursuant to Section 3.27 or this Section 3.09; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 3.27 or this Section 3.09; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.

(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the respective aggregate amounts of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses, if any, with respect to any Mortgage Loan for the related Prepayment Period and report the same to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.28.

(c) The Servicer hereby covenants to the parties hereto and the Certificate Insurer that it has no intent to foreclose on any Mortgage Loan based on the delinquency characteristics as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing does not prevent the Servicer from initiating foreclosure proceedings on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such Mortgage Loans including delinquency characteristics in the Servicer’s discretion so warrant such action.

Section 3.10 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Custodial Account out of each payment of interest on each Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to the Servicing Fee. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.27.

Additional servicing compensation with respect to Mortgage Loans in the form of any Excess Liquidation Proceeds, assumption fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges and ancillary income to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer, all income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments with respect to funds in or credited to the Custodial Account shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.27. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.05 and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by Section 3.07 and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

Section 3.11 REO Property.

(a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Servicer shall sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall protect and conserve such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required herein, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.

(b) The Servicer shall deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property into the Custodial Account.

(c) The Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances, unreimbursed Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Fees as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

Section 3.12 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Trust Fund pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit a liquidation report to the Trustee containing such information as shall be mutually acceptable to the Servicer and the Trustee with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Section 3.13 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a) The Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall deliver or otherwise make available (and shall cause each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to deliver) to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator on or before March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2008, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of such Servicing Function Participant’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (B) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant (other than the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator), in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

(b) (i) For so long as the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, failure of the Servicer to comply timely with this Section 3.13 shall be deemed a Servicer Default as to the Servicer, without any cure period, and the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall so terminate the defaulting Servicer by delivery of notice thereof via first class mail, facsimile or electronic mail. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

(ii) After the Trust Fund ceases to be subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, failure of the Servicer to comply timely with this Section 3.13 shall be deemed a Servicer Default as provided for in Section 8.01(a)(viii). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee may, terminate the defaulting Servicer by delivery of notice thereof via first class mail, facsimile or electronic mail.

Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the related Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with this Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the written request of the Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by an Authorized Servicer Representative substantially in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from an Authorized Servicer Representative), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer. Such request for release shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by such Person no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of an Authorized Servicer Representative similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer.

Section 3.20 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Servicer to be held for Trustee.

The Servicer (to the extent required by this Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or the Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian.

Section 3.23 [Reserved].

Section 3.24 Optional Purchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan which is delinquent in payment by ninety-one (91) days or more or is an REO Property, the Sponsor shall have the right to purchase such Mortgage Loan or REO Property from the Trust Fund at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account and remitted by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator on the Remittance Date in the month immediately following the month in which the Purchase Price was deposited in the Custodial Account.

In addition, the Sponsor shall, at its option, purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund if the first Due Date for such Mortgage Loan is subsequent to the Cut-off Date and the first Monthly Payment is not made within thirty (30) days of such Due Date. Such purchase shall be made at a price equal to the Purchase Price.

If at any time the Sponsor remits to the Servicer a payment for deposit in the Custodial Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan and the Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee (which shall be delivered no later than two (2) Business Days following such deposit) certifying that the Purchase Price has been deposited in the Custodial Account, the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of the Sponsor without recourse to the Sponsor which shall succeed to all the Trustee’s, right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Sponsor will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto. The Sponsor shall be responsible for any transfer costs incurred with respect to a Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 3.24.

If the Sponsor is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.24, the Servicer shall continue to service such Mortgage Loan unless the Sponsor shall repurchase the servicing rights thereon on terms mutually agreed to by the Sponsor and the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to master service any Mortgage Loan that has been so repurchased.

Section 3.25 Obligations of the Servicer Under Credit Risk Management Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Credit Risk Management Agreements to the contrary, the Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to enforce any Credit Risk Management Agreement or to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Credit Risk Manager or the Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreements or this Agreement with respect to any action taken or not taken by the Servicer pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager or otherwise in connection with obligations of the Servicer under the related Credit Risk Management Agreement.

Section 3.26 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Custodial Account.

(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the related Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a Mortgage Loan serviced by the Servicer for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however no such extension shall be materially adverse to the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make Advances on the Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with Section 5.01. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. In addition, if (x) a Mortgage Loan is in default or default is imminent or (y) the Servicer delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator a REMIC Opinion, the Servicer may, (A) amend the related Mortgage Note to reduce the Mortgage Rate applicable thereto, and (B) amend any Mortgage Note for a Mortgage Loan to extend the maturity thereof.

(b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain a segregated Custodial Account (which shall at all times be an Eligible Account) with a depository institution and shall be in the name of the Servicer in trust for Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collection on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Custodial Account, in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the related Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and Subsequent Recoveries, on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of the Servicing Fee permitted under Section 3.10;

(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and condemnation proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Properties or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures;

(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.26(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05;

(vi) any amounts paid by an Advance Financing Person in respect of Advances or Servicing Advances;

(vii) any Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans in and any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts;

(viii) the Purchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans purchased by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03, any amounts which are to be treated pursuant to Section 2.04 of this Agreement as the payment of such a Purchase Price and the Purchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans purchased by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 3.24; and

(ix) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

The foregoing requirements for deposit by the Servicer into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be deposited by the Servicer. In the event that the Servicer shall deposit any amount not required to be deposited and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.27, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Custodial Account, to withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the institution maintaining the Custodial Account, that describes the amounts deposited in error in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in a Custodial Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.27.

(c) The institution that maintains the Custodial Account, or other authorized entity shall invest the funds in the Custodial Account, in the manner directed by the Servicer, in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than the next succeeding Remittance Date and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in the Custodial Account in respect of any such investments shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account immediately as realized, out of its own funds.

(d) The Servicer shall give at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Sponsor, each Rating Agency, the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor of any proposed change of location of the Custodial Account prior to any change thereof.

Section 3.27 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

(a) The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to pay itself (to the extent not previously paid to or withheld by the Servicer), as servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.10, that portion of any payment of interest that equals the Servicing Fee for the period with respect to which such interest payment was made, and, as additional servicing compensation, those other amounts set forth in Section 3.10;

(ii) to reimburse the Servicer or an Advance Financing Person for (A) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received which represent late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest (net of the related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01; and (B) any unreimbursed Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a related Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or an Advance Financing Person for such unreimbursed Advances or (C) subject to Section 3.27(b), any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of Amounts Held For Future Distribution funds held in the Custodial Account relating to the Mortgage Loans that were not included in the Available Distribution Amount for the preceding Distribution Date;

(iii) to reimburse itself or an Advance Financing Person for any Nonrecoverable Advances;

(iv) to reimburse itself from Insurance Proceeds for Insured Expenses covered by the related Insurance Policy;

(v) to pay itself any unpaid Servicing Fees and to reimburse itself or any Advance Financing Person for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Servicer’s or such Advance Financing Person’s right to reimbursement for Servicing Advances pursuant to this subclause (v) with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, condemnation proceeds and purchase and repurchase proceeds) that represent late recoveries of the payments for which such Servicing Advances were made;

(vi) to pay to the Sponsor or the Depositor with respect to each related Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.24, all amounts received thereon and not taken into account in determining the related Stated Principal Balance of such repurchased Mortgage Loan;

In addition, no later than noon Eastern time on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from the Custodial Account maintained by the Servicer and remit to the Securities Administrator (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the last day of the related Due Period (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to this Section 3.27(a)), plus (b) all Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to make pursuant to Section 5.01, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or condemnation proceeds received after the applicable Prepayment Period, which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any Compensating Interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 5.02, and minus (d) any amounts attributable to Scheduled Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Due Dates subsequent to the first day of the month in which such Remittance Date occurs, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Date related to such Scheduled Payment.

With respect to any remittance received by the Securities Administrator after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Securities Administrator shall send written notice thereof to the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay to the Securities Administrator interest on any such late payment by the Servicer at an annual rate equal to Prime Rate (as defined in The Wall Street Journal) plus one percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest, or the failure of the Securities Administrator to notify the Servicer of such interest, shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Servicer Default by the Servicer.

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above. Prior to making any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate of an Authorized Servicer Representative indicating the amount of any previous Advance or Servicing Advance determined by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loan(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Amounts Held For Future Distribution withdrawn by the Servicer as permitted in Section 3.27(a)(ii) in reimbursement of Advances previously made by the Servicer shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account, no later than the close of business on any future Remittance Date on which the funds on deposit in the Custodial Account shall be less than the amount required to be remitted to the Trust Fund on such Remittance Date; provided, however that if the rating of the Servicer (including any Successor Servicer) is less than “BBB”, the Servicer shall be required to replace such funds by deposit to the Distribution Account, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately following the Due Period or Prepayment Period for which such amounts relate.

Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and Section 3.05 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to such Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account, to remove amounts deposited in error or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01 thereof.

(b) The Securities Administrator shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of accounting for any reimbursement from the Distribution Account pursuant to subclauses (ii) through (v), inclusive or with respect to any such amounts which would have been covered by such subclauses had the amounts not been retained by the Securities Administrator without being deposited in the Distribution Account under Section 3.31.

(c) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Available Funds and the Available Distribution Amounts, to the extent of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account to the holders of the related Certificates and the Certificate Insurer in accordance with Sections 5.05 and 5.06.

Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicer and/or Master Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) and loan level information and data relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans. If the Credit Risk Manager is no longer able to perform its duties hereunder, the Credit Risk Manager may be terminated by the Depositor at the direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights.

The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Credit Risk Manager 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, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the Servicer and/or Master Servicer pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 4.01 The Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the servicing activities of the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicer and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, provide such information relating to the Mortgage Loans to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary to enable it to prepare the statements specified in Section 5.06 and any other information and statements required to be provided by the Securities Administrator hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer to the Distribution Account.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not have any duty or obligation to enforce any Credit Risk Management Agreement that the Servicer is a party to (the “Servicer Credit Risk Management Agreement”) or to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Credit Risk Manager under the Servicer Credit Risk Management Agreement with respect to any action taken or not taken by the Servicer pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to the Trustee necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to service or master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer or the Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Servicer for any cost, liability or expense arising from the misuse thereof by the Master Servicer or the Servicer.

Section 4.02 Monitoring of the Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Servicer with its respective duties under this Agreement. In the review of the Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer with regard to the Servicer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with this Agreement or that a notice should be sent pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Sponsor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement subject to this Section and Article VIII, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII. The Master Servicer shall act as servicer of the Mortgage Loans or enter in to a new servicing agreement with a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to the Master Servicer or such successor servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received indemnity reasonably acceptable to it for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

To the extent that the costs and expenses related to the termination of the Servicer, appointment of a Successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by the Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.

The Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement.

If the Master Servicer acts as a Successor Servicer, it shall not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.

Section 4.03 Fidelity Bond.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy that shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond may not be cancelable without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee.

Section 4.04 Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Section 9.13 hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 4.02, shall not permit the Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer or an Authorized Servicer Representative, with any powers of attorney (in form acceptable to Trustee) empowering the Master Servicer, or the Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer or the Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for the misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Servicer and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such misuse). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.10 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action authorized pursuant to this Agreement to be taken by it in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

Section 4.05 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

To the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with this Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with this Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.06 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

The Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account the Master Servicing Fee and other amounts provided in this Agreement. The Master Servicer, to the extent required by Article III shall cause the Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to the Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 4.07 Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in this Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

Pursuant to Section 3.31, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with this Agreement) shall be deposited into the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.32.

Section 4.08 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Master Servicer shall enforce the Servicer’s obligations to prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer all claims under any insurance policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable insurance policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 4.09 Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.

The Master Servicer shall not take, or (to the extent within its control) permit the Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under this Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any primary mortgage insurance policy or any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the extent that a Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall not, and (to the extent within its control) shall not permit the Servicer to, cancel or refuse to renew any primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

The Master Servicer agrees to cause the Servicer to present, on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer claims to the insurer under any primary mortgage insurance policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.31 of this Agreement, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Servicer under any primary mortgage insurance policies shall be deposited by the Servicer or by the Master Servicer in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.32.

Section 4.10 Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.

The Trustee or the Custodian, shall retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any primary mortgage insurance policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer and the Servicer otherwise have fulfilled their obligations under this Agreement the Trustee or the Custodian shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any primary mortgage insurance policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute Mortgage Loan Documents that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

Section 4.11 Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.

The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.12 Compensation for the Master Servicer.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing Fee and to retain all income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the Distribution Account (the “Master Servicing Compensation”). The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

The amount of the Master Servicing Fee payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced in accordance with Section 4.14.

Section 4.13 REO Property.

In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to sell, and the Servicer agrees to sell, any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Further, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to sell any REO Property prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by REMIC I unless (i) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable extension period. The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by this Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Custodial Account.

The Master Servicer and the Servicer upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees or Master Servicing Fees, as applicable, from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Advances may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

Section 4.14 Obligation of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account not later than each Distribution Date an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date, and not so paid by the Servicer and (ii) the Master Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date without reimbursement therefor.

ARTICLE V

ADVANCES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 5.01 Advances; Advance Facility.

(a) The Servicer shall make an Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan and deposit such Advance in the Distribution Account no later than noon Eastern time on the Remittance Date in immediately available funds. The Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, funds constituting the remaining portion of such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor, each Rating Agency and the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination.

In lieu of making all or a portion of an Advance from its own funds, the Servicer may (i) cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Custodial Account that any Amounts Held for Future Distribution has been used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance and (ii) transfer such funds from the Custodial Account to the Distribution Account. Any funds so applied and transferred shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Distribution Account, no later than the close of business on any future Remittance Date on which the funds on deposit in the Custodial Account shall be less than the amount required to be remitted to the Securities Administrator on such Remittance Date; provided, however that if the rating of the Servicer (including any Successor Servicer) is less than “BBB”, the Servicer shall be required to replace such funds by deposit to the Distribution Account, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately following the Due Period or Prepayment Period for which such amounts relate.

The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Custodial Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.27. The obligation to make Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until such Mortgage Loan is paid in full or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.01.

Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof, in the event that the Servicer fails to make such Advance under this Agreement, then the Master Servicer, as successor to the Servicer shall be obligated to make such Advance only to the extent such Advance, if made, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.01 and 8.02.

(b) (i) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), the documentation for which complies with Section 5.01(b)(v) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an “SPV”), (ii) a Person, which may simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a “Lender”), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender, an “Advance Financing Person”), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances, (A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any the Servicer’s Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(ii) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator at the address set forth in Section 11.05 hereof no later than the Remittance Date immediately following the effective date of such Advance Facility a written notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”), stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of the Person (the “Servicer’s Assignee”) that will, subject to Section 5.01(b)(iii) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.27 hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or Servicing Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”). Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.27 hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 3.27 hereof to the extent permitted under Section 5.01(b)(v) below.

(iii) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the Servicer, on behalf of the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer’s Assignee, shall be entitled to receive reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.27 hereof, which entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer’s Assignee shall immediately have the right to receive from the Custodial Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Servicer and/or the Servicer ’s Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.27 of this Agreement and shall not otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals or receive amounts that shall be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.31 hereof, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or the Servicer’s Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.27 hereof. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. None of the Depositor, Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor, Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the Servicer’s Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, Depositor, the Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Trust Fund for any claim, loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Financing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, Depositor, the Trustee or any successor Servicer, as the case may be. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Financing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.

(iv) An Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of rights to receive Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or whose obligations are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to an Advance Facility shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification as the Servicer.

(v) As between the Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a “first-in, first out” basis. In the event the Servicer’s Assignee shall have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than the Servicer or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then the Servicer’s Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or Servicer’s Assignee.

(vi) For purposes of any Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), any Nonrecoverable Advance referred to therein may have been made by the Servicer. In making its determination that any Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall have been made by the Servicer.

(vii) Any amendment to this Section 5.01(b) or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 5.01(b), including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof.

(i) first, to the Holder of REMIC II Regular Interest LT-IO in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for each such REMIC II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates and then to the Holders of REMIC II Regular Interest LT-AA, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-A1, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-A2, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-A3, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-A4, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-M1, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-M2, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-M3, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-M4, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-M5 and REMIC II Regular Interest LT-ZZ, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for each such REMIC II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.

The payment of such Prepayment Charges shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P Certificates.

(b) The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to recalculate or verify Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and remitted to the Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders.

Section 5.11 Class P Certificate Account.

The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., for the benefit of Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation, Alternative Loan Trust 2007-3 Class P Certificate Account”. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited in the Class P Certificate Account $100.00. The amount on deposit in the Class P Certificate Account shall be held uninvested. On the July 2012 Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw the amount on deposit in the Class P Certificate Account and remit such amount to the Holders of the Class P Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof.

Section 5.12 [Reserved].

Section 5.13 Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund.

(a) The Securities Administrator shall establish a Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund on behalf of the holders of the Senior Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates. The Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund must be an Eligible Account. The Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund shall be entitled “Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., for the benefit of holders of Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation, Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-4, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4 and Class M-5 Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund $1,000. On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Basis Risk Shortfall payable to any Class of Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall deposit the amounts pursuant to paragraphs (9) through (14) of Section 5.05(a)(iii) into the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund and the Securities Administrator has been directed by the Class X Certificateholder to distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Senior Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 5.05(a)(iii).

(b) The Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall be an asset of the Trust Fund but not an asset of any REMIC. The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall be the nominal owner of the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund. The Class X Certificateholders shall be the beneficial owners of the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund, subject to the power of the Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under Section 5.05(a)(iii). Amounts in the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund shall be held either uninvested in a trust or deposit account of the Securities Administrator with no liability for interest or other compensation thereof or, at the written direction of the Majority Class X Certificateholder, be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. All net income and gain from such investments shall be distributed to the Majority Class X Certificateholder, not as a distribution in respect of any interest in any REMIC, on such Distribution Date. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund shall be taxable to the Majority Class X Certificateholder. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund by the Majority Class X Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized. In the event that the Majority Class X Certificateholder shall fail to provide investment instructions to the Securities Administrator, the amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested.

(c) For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of the right of the holders of the Senior Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund in respect of any Basis Risk Shortfall shall be zero dollars ($0.00).

Section 5.14 Supplemental Interest Trust.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee a separate account for the benefit of the holders of the Publicly Offered Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”). The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee or of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Trust amounts distributable to the Swap Provider by the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to Section 5.05 of this Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute any such amounts to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement, first to pay any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider for such Distribution Date, and second to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider.

(c) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Trust amounts received by it from the Swap Provider. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Trust an amount equal to the amount of any Net Swap Payment received from the Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement, and make the distributions required under Section 5.05 of this Agreement.

(d) The Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class X Certificates shall be the beneficial owner of the Supplemental Interest Trust, subject to the power of the Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under this Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust and shall keep track of payments made pursuant to each Swap Agreement separately. The Securities Administrator shall, at the written direction of the Majority Class X Certificateholder invest amounts on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Swap Agreement in Permitted Investments. In the absence of written direction to the Securities Administrator from the Majority Class X Certificateholder, all funds in respect of the Swap Agreement in the Supplemental Interest Trust shall remain uninvested. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute, not in respect of any REMIC, any interest earned on the Supplemental Interest Trust to the Holders of the Class X Certificates.

(e) For federal income tax purposes, amounts paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.05 shall first be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class IO Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class IO Distribution Amount. For federal income tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust will be treated as a disregarded entity.

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

(f) The Sponsor shall provide to the Securities Administrator the value of the right of the holders of the Publicly Offered Certificates to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal tax return and information reporting not later than December 31, 2007.

(g) In the event that the Swap Provider fails to perform any of its obligations under the Swap Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties thereunder, or in the event that any Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the Swap Agreement) occurs with respect to the Swap Agreement, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of such failure, breach or event, notify the Depositor and send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, required to enforce the rights of the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement.

In the event that the Swap Provider’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under a guaranty relating to the Swap Agreement (such guaranty the “Guaranty” and such third party the “Guarantor”), then to the extent that the Swap Provider fails to make any payment by the close of business on the day it is required to make payment under the terms of the Swap Agreement, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of the Swap Provider’s failure to pay, demand that the Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by the Guarantor pursuant to such Guaranty; provided, that the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall in no event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by the Swap Provider or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to the Swap Agreement and the Guaranty, nor for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) in connection therewith.

Section 5.15 Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.

For federal income tax purposes, each Holder of a Senior Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Basis Risk Shortfall Amounts or the obligation to make payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will account for payments to each Senior Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate as follows: each Senior Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Net Swap Payment), will be made by one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Senior Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate.

Each REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to a Senior Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Class A Net Funds Cap or the Net Funds Cap, as applicable, computed for this purpose by limiting the Notional Amount of the Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable solely from amounts otherwise payable to the Class X Certificates. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to a Senior Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Senior Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates.

Section 5.16 Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a) (i) For so long as the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, within fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto.

In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 5.16(c)(ii).

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(b) (i) For so long as the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event set forth on Exhibit N hereto or such other event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), or if requested by the Depositor, and subject to receipt of such information by the Securities Administrator from the entity indicated on Exhibit N as the responsible party for providing that information, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K other than the initial Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit N to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c) (i) On or prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust Fund under the Exchange Act.

(ii) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities Administrator will promptly notify electronically the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A and 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended in connection with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than for the purpose of restating any monthly report), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information, the Securities Administrator will electronically notify the Depositor and such other parties to the transaction as are affected by such amendment, and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary 8-K/A, 10-D/A or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized representative, or senior officer in charge of master servicing, as applicable, of the Master Servicer. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 5.16(c) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(d) (i) For so long as the trust is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, within 90 days after the end of each calendar year or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”), commencing in March 2008, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Securities Administrator within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for each Servicing Function Participant (other than the Custodian), as described under Section 3.13, (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for each Servicing Function Participant, as described under Section 3.14 and the Custodial Agreement, and (B) if any Servicing Function Participant’s report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.14 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any Servicing Function Participant’s report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.14 is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report for each Servicing Function Participant, as described under Section 3.14 and the Custodial Agreement, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report described under Section 3.14 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, and (iv) a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification as described in Section 3.18. The Securities Administrator shall also include with each Form 10-K any disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K as set forth on Exhibit N under Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) subject to receipt of such information by the Securities Administrator from the entity indicated on Exhibit N as the responsible party for providing that information. The Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.

(ii) As set forth on Exhibit N hereto, no later than March 1 (with a ten-calendar day cure period) of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2008, (i) the parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.

(iii) After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request, forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than March 25th, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-K. A senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 5.16(c)(ii). Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K to be filed by the Securities Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 5.16(d) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and any Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 5.16(d), Section 3.13, Section 3.14 and Section 3.18. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(e) Each of Form 10-D and Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to the Securities Administrator as of the date hereof that the Depositor has (1) filed all such required reports that (a) the Depositor has undertaken to file on its own behalf or (b) relate to other securitization transactions of the Depositor for which Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Securities Administrator or similar capacity, does not have the exclusive obligation to prepare and file during the preceding 12 months; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be obligated to make such representation with respect to any filings made by Xxxxx Fargo on behalf of the Depositor, and (2) that it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D and no later than March 15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to the questions should be “no”. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report.

(f) The Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Custodian, the Sponsor and Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of such party’s obligations under this Section 5.16 or such party’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 5.16 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.

Section 5.17 [Reserved].

Section 5.18 Swap Collateral Account.

The Securities Administrator is hereby directed to perform the obligations of the Custodian as defined under the Swap Credit Support Annex (the “Swap Custodian”).

On or shortly after the Closing Date, the Swap Custodian shall establish a Swap Collateral Account. The Swap Collateral Account shall be held in the name of the Swap Custodian in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates. The Swap Collateral Account must be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, Swap Collateral Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Swap Custodian for the benefit of holders of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3.”

The Swap Custodian shall credit to the Swap Collateral Account all collateral (whether in the form of cash or securities) posted by the Swap Provider to secure the obligations of the Swap Provider in accordance with the terms of the Swap Agreement. Except for investment earnings, the Swap Provider shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Swap Collateral Account other than in accordance with this Agreement, the Swap Agreement and applicable law. The Swap Custodian shall maintain and apply all collateral and earnings thereon on deposit in the Swap Collateral Account in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex.

Cash collateral posted by the Swap Provider in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex shall be invested at the direction of such Swap Provider in Permitted Investments in accordance with the requirements of the Swap Credit Support Annex. In the absence of such direction, amounts therein will remain uninvested. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Swap Collateral Account (whether cash collateral or securities) shall be for the account of and taxable to the Swap Provider.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Specified Condition (each as defined in the Swap Agreement) with respect to the Swap Provider or upon occurrence or designation of an Early Termination Date (as defined in the Swap Agreement) as a result of any such Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Swap Provider, and, in either such case, unless the Swap Provider has paid in full all of its Obligations (as defined in the Swap Credit Support Annex) that are then due, then any collateral posted by the Swap Provider in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex shall be applied to the payment of any Obligations due to Party B (as defined in the Swap Agreement) in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex. Any excess amounts held in the Swap Collateral Account after payment of all amounts owing to Party B under the Swap Agreement shall be withdrawn from the Swap Collateral Account and paid to the Swap Provider in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex.

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

The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Securities Administrator on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.

(b) The Class X Certificates and Class P Certificates offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) will be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates.

Section 6.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.09, a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of Transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of Transfer of any Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and of like aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 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 Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of Transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any Transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator’s customary procedures.

(b) No Transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit E (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit F (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit G (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the transferor, that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Sponsor against any liability that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No Transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA and/or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of any such plan, or (ii) in the case of any such ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Servicer and on which they may rely to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not result in any prohibited transactions under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Securities Administrator, the Depositor or any Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor or any Servicer. In addition, with respect to transfers of an ERISA Restricted Certificate (that is not a Residual Certificate) other than as described in the preceding sentence, if the representation letter or Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, the representation in clause (i) shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the ERISA Restricted Certificate. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA and/or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code other than in compliance with the foregoing shall be void and of no effect; provided that the restriction set forth in this sentence shall not be applicable if there has been delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel meeting the requirements of clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph. The Securities Administrator shall not be under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a Person acting on behalf of any such plan at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became such a plan or Person acting on behalf of such a plan, all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a plan or Person acting on behalf of a plan.

Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate (other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate) acquired after termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with “Plan Assets”, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on the Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-“ (or its equivalent) by S&P, Xxxxx’x, Xxxxx Ratings, Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited (known as DBRS Limited) or Dominion Bond Rating Service, Inc. (known as DBRS, Inc.) and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

For so long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence , each beneficial owner of a Publicly Offered Certificate (other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate) or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii) (A) it is an accredited investor within the meaning of the Exemption and (B) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate and the separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust are eligible for the exemptive relief available under one of PTCE 95-60, 91-38, 96-23, 90-1 or 84-14.

(c) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

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

(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 6.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.

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

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

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

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

(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Securities Administrator on such terms as the Securities Administrator may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Securities Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Securities Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Securities Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Securities Administrator or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

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

(v) The provisions of this Section 6.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:

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

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

(d) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

(e) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three separate certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest and the Class R-3 Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for three separate certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-4 Interest, Class R-5 Interest and Class R-6 Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.

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

(g) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 6.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor or the Sponsor.

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

Section 6.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Securities Administrator under the terms of this Section 6.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.

Section 6.04 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any of their agents may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator nor any of their agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the Depositor shall request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by the Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 6.06 Book-Entry Certificates.

The Regular Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Depositor. Such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner of such Certificates will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates pursuant to Section 6.08:

(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(b) the Depositor and the Securities Administrator may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates;

(c) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another Depository;

(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Owners of such Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.08, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Depository Participants;

(e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;

(f) the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants; and

(g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control.

For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of such Class of Certificates.

Section 6.07 Notices to Depository.

Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Certificateholders of a Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications to the Depository.

Section 6.08 Definitive Certificates.

If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any Certificates, (a) the Depositor or the Depository advises the Securities Administrator that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such Certificates and the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor, at its sole option, advises the Securities Administrator that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence and continuation of either of the events described in clauses (a) or (b) above, Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates having not less than fifty one percent (51%) of the Voting Rights evidenced by any Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Securities Administrator and the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to Certificates of such Class through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of such Class, then the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to applicable Certificate Owners requesting the same. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall countersign and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

Section 6.09 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

(a) Each of the Depositor and the Servicer will keep in full force and effect its rights and franchises as a corporation and a limited liability company, respectively (or other entity resulting from merger, conversion or consolidation to the extent permitted under this Section 7.02) under the laws of the state of its incorporation or formation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises as a national banking association, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(b) The Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer may be merged, converted, or consolidated, and any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided that any Successor Servicer shall have represented that it meets the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 8.02.

Section 7.03 Indemnification of the Depositor and Servicing Function Participants.

(a) The Depositor agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement or the Certificates (i) related to the Depositor’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Depositor’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. This indemnity shall survive the resignation of any party hereto and the termination of this Agreement.

(b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to the Servicer’s gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or failure to service the related Mortgage Loans in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for a material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer contained herein. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Trustee and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly appeal or pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any Indemnified Person in respect of such claim, but failure to so notify the Servicer shall not limit its obligations hereunder. The Servicer agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Indemnified Persons unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Persons from all liability that is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section 7.03(b) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Servicer.

(c) Each of the parties hereto (with the exception of the Trustee) shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Sponsor and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates, as applicable, from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (a) any breach by such party of any if its obligations hereunder, including particularly its obligations to provide any Assessment of Compliance, Attestation Report, Compliance Statement, Back-up Certification or any information, data or materials required to be included in any Exchange Act report, (b) any material misstatement or material omission in any information, data or materials required to be contained in (i) any compliance certificate delivered by the such party pursuant to Section 3.13 of this Agreement, (ii) any assessment or attestation delivered by such party pursuant to Section 3.14 of this Agreement, (iii) any back-up certification (in the form of Exhibit M) delivered by such party pursuant to Section 3.18 of this Agreement or (iv) any disclosure materials delivered by such party pursuant to Section 5.16 or (c) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such party in connection with its performance hereunder. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Sponsor, then each such party agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Sponsor as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Sponsor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Sponsor on the one hand and such party on the other. This indemnity shall survive the termination or resignation of the parties hereto or the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.04 Limitations on Liability of the Depositor, Securities Administrator, Master Servicer, Servicer and Others.

Subject to the obligation of the Depositor and the Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.03:

(a) Neither the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein or against any specific liability imposed on any such Person pursuant hereto or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

(b) The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account as provided by Section 3.32. Nothing in this Subsection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to take such actions as are necessary to ensure the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust Fund might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties.

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer, the Depositor or the Custodian.

Section 7.05 Servicer Not to Resign.

(a) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or the performance of such duties are no longer possible in order to comply with applicable law and such incapacity or impossibility cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer shall be effective hereunder unless (a) the Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing that such appointment will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (b) such successor shall have represented that it is meets the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 8.02 and (c) such successor has agreed in writing to assume the obligations of the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer shall provide a copy of the written confirmation of the Rating Agencies and the agreement executed by such successor to the Master Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer or the Master Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies of its resignation.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Subservicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.03, no Subservicer or Subcontractor shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any Subservicer or Subcontractor as an indemnitee under this Agreement.

Section 7.06 Termination of the Servicer Without Cause; Appointment of Special Servicer.

(a) For so long as the Sponsor retains ownership of the servicing rights with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor may, at its option, terminate the servicing responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans without cause; provided, however, that any termination of the Servicer will be subject to the consent of the Certificate Insurer. No such termination shall become effective unless and until a successor to the Servicer shall have been appointed to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No appointment shall be effective unless (i) such successor servicer meets the eligibility criteria contained in Section 8.02, (ii) the Master Servicer shall have consented to such appointment, (iii) the Rating Agencies have been notified in writing of such appointment and such successor servicer meets the Minimum Servicing Requirements, (iv) such successor has agreed to assume the obligations of the Servicer hereunder to the extent of the related Mortgage Loans and (v) all amounts reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall have been paid to the Servicer by the successor appointed pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.06 or by the Sponsor including without limitation, all unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances made by the Servicer and all out-of-pocket expenses of the Servicer incurred in connection with the transfer of servicing to such successor.

The rights of the Sponsor to terminate the Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.06(a) will cease to exist if the Sponsor sells or otherwise divests itself of its ownership of the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that this Section 7.06(a) will be operative at any time the Sponsor retains or comes into possession of such servicing rights.

(b) In addition, the Sponsor may, at its option, appoint a special servicer with respect to certain of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the consent of the Certificate Insurer shall be required in connection with the appointment of a special servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Sponsor and the Servicer shall negotiate in good faith with any proposed special servicer with respect to the duties and obligations of such special servicer with respect to any such Mortgage Loan. Any Subservicing Agreement shall contain terms and provisions not inconsistent with this Agreement and shall obligate the special servicer to service such Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The fee payable to the special servicer for the performance of such duties and obligations will paid from the Servicing Fee collected by the Servicer with respect to each such Mortgage Loan and will be remitted to such special servicer by the Servicer.

Section 7.07 Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Certificate Insurer. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer meeting the criteria specified in Section 7.08 shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

Section 7.08 Assignment of Master Servicing.

The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement with the consent of the Certificate Insurer; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation and assuming the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder (a) shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (b) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (c) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates (without regard to the Policy) in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an Opinion of Independent counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising out of acts or omissions prior to the effective date thereof.

Section 7.09 Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Servicer and the Master Servicer.

Each of the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall afford (and any Subservicing Agreement shall provide that each Subservicer or Subcontractor shall afford) the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer or the Servicer (and any such Subservicer or Subcontractor) in respect of the Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer or the Servicer (and those of any such Subservicer or Subcontractor) responsible for such obligations, and the Master Servicer shall have access to all such records maintained by the Servicer and any Subservicers. Upon request, each of the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such Subservicer’s or Subcontractor’s) most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Master Servicer’s or the Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it possesses (and that any such Subservicer or Subcontractor possesses). To the extent the Depositor and the Trustee are informed that such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer’s or the Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) to its legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies and the Certificateholders, (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Trustee from sources other than the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer, (iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any and all information (A) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. Nothing in this Section 7.09 shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to comply with any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 7.09 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 7.09 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer and the Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

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

(vi) the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder (other than any payment by the Servicer to the Sponsor of any portion of the Servicing Fee payable to the Servicer as provided in a separate side letter between the Sponsor and the Servicer) or the Servicer attempts to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except, in each case as otherwise permitted herein; or

(vii) the Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

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

(v) so long as the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, failure by the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 3.13, 3.14, 3.18 or 5.16.

If a Master Servicer Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Certificate Insurer and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights of the Certificates affected thereby, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the related Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or prior to the date of such termination and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 8.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.

Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer.

To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to the termination of the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans, appointment of a successor Master Servicer or the transfer and assumption of the master servicing with respect to the related Mortgage Loans by the Trustee (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans as a result of a Master Servicer Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of the master servicing with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it. Furthermore, neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated Master Servicer.

Section 8.02 Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, shall become the successor to the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and after a transition period (not to exceed 90 days), shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the terminated Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article V hereof except as otherwise provided herein or therein; provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s obligation to make Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan in its capacity as Successor Servicer shall not be subject to such 90-day transition period and the Master Servicer, will make any Advance required to be made by the terminated Servicer on the Distribution Date on which the terminated Servicer was required to make such Advance. Effective on the date of such notice of termination, as compensation therefor, the Master Servicer, shall be entitled to all fees, costs and expenses relating to the Mortgage Loans that the terminated Servicer would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder, provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be (i) liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated Servicer, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law or determines that such Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, (iii) responsible for expenses of the terminated Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement or (iv) obligated to deposit losses on any Permitted Investment directed by the terminated Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer, may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the related Certificates by each Rating Agency (without regard to the Policy) as the successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the terminated Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans hereunder. Any Successor Servicer shall (i) be an institution that is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000 and (ii) be willing to act as successor servicer of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, and shall have executed and delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the terminated Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than any liabilities of the terminated Servicer hereof incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 8.01 of this Agreement), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement, provided that each Rating Agency shall have acknowledged in writing that its rating of the related Certificates (without regard to the Policy) in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. If the Master Servicer assumes the duties and responsibilities of the terminated Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Section 8.02, the Master Servicer, shall not resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting, shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans hereunder. The Master Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Master Servicer nor any other Successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the terminated Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

The costs and expenses of the Master Servicer, in connection with the termination of the terminated Servicer, appointment of a Successor Servicer and, if applicable, any transfer of servicing, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Master Servicer, to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, to the extent not paid by the terminated Servicer as may be required herein shall be payable to the Master Servicer, from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.32. Any successor to the terminated Servicer as successor servicer under this Agreement shall give notice to the applicable Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as successor servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the terminated Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Master Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Master Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor master servicer to act as successor master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

Section 8.03 Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders, to each Rating Agency and to the Certificate Insurer.

(b) Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any Servicer Default or Master Servicer Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer notice of the Servicer Default or Master Servicer Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 8.04 Waiver of Servicer Defaults and Master Servicer Defaults.

The Trustee, shall waive, at the direction of the Certificate Insurer and may waive, by written notice from Certificateholders evidencing 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates affected thereby (unless such default materially and adversely affects all Certificateholders, in which case the written direction shall be from all of the Certificateholders) any default by the Servicer or the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default or Master Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor Securities Administrator as provided in this Section 9.08, the successor trustee or successor Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the successor trustee or successor Securities Administrator fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment, the Depositor shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Trust Fund.

Any corporation, state bank or national banking association into which the Trustee or Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation, state bank or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation, state bank or national banking association succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or Securities Administrator or shall be the successor of the Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of, REMIC I or any property securing the same may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, and for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates and the Certificate Insurer such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 9.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to or REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

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

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

Section 9.12 Representations and Warranties.

The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Certificate Insurer as of the Closing Date, that:

(i) It is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America.

(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it, will not violate its articles of association or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets.

(iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

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

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

Section 9.13 Tax Matters.

It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so that each REMIC formed hereunder qualifies as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Securities Administrator, as agent on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall do or refrain from doing, as applicable, the following: (a) the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Returns (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each such REMIC containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) the Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC that is or becomes a taxable entity, and within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code for the Trust Fund; (c) the Securities Administrator shall make or cause to be made elections, on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of such REMIC for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) the Securities Administrator shall prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) the Securities Administrator shall provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record Holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) the Securities Administrator shall, to the extent under its control, conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC formed hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) the Securities Administrator shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC formed hereunder; (h) the Securities Administrator shall pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 9.12, the amount of any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any REMIC formed hereunder prior to the termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) the Trustee shall sign or cause to be signed federal, state or local income tax or information returns or any other document prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 9.13 requiring a signature thereon by the Trustee; (j) the Securities Administrator shall maintain records relating to each REMIC formed hereunder including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each such REMIC and adjusted basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; (k) the Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on an accrual basis; (l) the Securities Administrator shall not enter into any arrangement not otherwise provided for in this Agreement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the REMICs to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code; and (m) as and when necessary and appropriate, the Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC formed hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving any such REMIC.

In order to enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Securities Administrator within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Securities Administrator requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, request in order to enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Securities Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis.

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC after the startup day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local tax or minimum tax imposed upon any of REMIC, and is not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Securities Administrator, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Section, (ii) any party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator) to the extent any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), any such tax with respect to REMIC I will be paid first with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders, and second with amounts otherwise to be distributed to all other Certificateholders in the following order of priority: first, to the Class X Certificates, second, to the Class M-5 Certificates, third, to the Class M-4 Certificates, fourth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, fifth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, sixth, to the Class M-1 Certificates and seventh, to the Senior Certificates (pro rata based on the amounts to be distributed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that such tax is payable by the Holder of any Certificates, the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized to retain on any Distribution Date, from the Holders of the related Residual Certificates (and, if necessary, second, from the Holders of the other related Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding sentence), funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay such tax. The Securities Administrator shall include in its monthly report to Certificateholders distributions to such parties taking into account the priorities described in the second preceding sentence. The Securities Administrator agrees to promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, (2) for any losses other than arising out of a grossly negligent performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

TERMINATION

Section 10.01 Termination Upon Liquidation or Repurchase of all Mortgage Loans.

Subject to Section 10.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05 and of the Securities Administrator to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests, the Class X Interest, the Class P Interest, the Class IO Interest or the Certificates as hereinafter set forth) upon the earlier of (a) the Master Servicer’s exercise of its optional right to purchase the Mortgage Loans and related REO Properties (the “Cleanup Call”) and (b) the later of (i)(x) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all related REO Property and (Y) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all related REO Property and (ii) the distribution to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of twenty-one (21) years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The Cleanup Call shall be exercisable at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate to, but not including, the first day of the month of such purchase, (iii) the appraised value of any REO Property (up to the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan), such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser selected in good faith by the Master Servicer, (iv) all unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs of the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Trustee, including unreimbursed servicing advances and the principal portion of any unreimbursed Advances, made on the related Mortgage Loans prior to the exercise of such repurchase right; (v) any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Provider which remains unpaid or which is due to the Cleanup Call and any amounts due the Certificate Insurer in respect of unpaid Policy Premiums and amounts due under the Commitment Letter; and (vi) any other amounts due and owing to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Custodian payable pursuant to this Agreement or the Custodial Agreement.

The right to exercise the Cleanup Call as described above shall be exercisable if the Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans at the time of any such repurchase, is less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans; provided that if the exercise of the Cleanup Call would cause a draw on the Policy or result in amounts owed to the Certificate Insurer remaining unpaid, the Certificate Insurer must provide prior written consent to the exercise of the Cleanup Call.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to exercise the Cleanup Call to the extent that the Depositor creates a net interest margin transaction which includes the Class X Certificates or Class P Certificates or Class X Certificates and the notes issued pursuant to such net interest margin transaction are outstanding on the date on which the Master Servicer intends to exercise the related Cleanup Call.

In connection with the Cleanup Call, four (4) Business Days prior to the final Distribution Date specified in the notice required pursuant to Section 10.02, the Securities Administrator shall, no later than 4:00 pm New York City time on such day, request in writing (in accordance with the applicable provision of the Swap Agreement) and by phone from the Swap Provider the amount of the Estimated Swap Termination Payment. The Swap Provider shall, no later than 2:00 pm on the following Business Day, notify in writing (which may be done in electronic format) the Securities Administrator of the amount of the Estimated Swap Termination Payment; the Securities Administrator shall promptly on the same day notify the Master Servicer of the amount of the Estimated Swap Termination Payment.

Two (2) Business Days prior to the final Distribution Date specified in the notice required pursuant to Section 10.02, (i) the Master Servicer shall, no later than 1:00 pm New York City time on such day, deposit funds in the Distribution Account in an amount equal to the sum of the Termination Price (other than the Swap Termination Payment) and the Estimated Swap Termination Payment, and (ii) if the Securities Administrator shall have determined that the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date is not more than 10% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and that all other requirements of the optional termination have been met, including without limitation, the deposit required pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) as well as the requirements specified in Section 10.03, then the Securities Administrator shall, on the same Business Day, provide written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, the Trustee and the Swap Provider confirming (in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Swap Agreement) (a) its receipt of the Termination Price (other than the Swap Termination Payment) and the Estimated Swap Termination Payment and (b) that all other requirements of the Cleanup Call have been met. Upon the Securities Administrator’s providing the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Cleanup Call shall become irrevocable, the notice to Certificateholders of the Cleanup Call provided pursuant to Section 10.02 shall become unrescindable, the Swap Provider shall determine the Swap Termination Payment in accordance with the Swap Agreement, and the Swap Provider shall provide to the Securities Administrator written notice of the amount of the Swap Termination Payment not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the final Distribution Date specified in the notice required pursuant to Section 10.02.

In connection with the exercise of the Cleanup Call, only an amount equal to the Termination Price less any Swap Termination Payment shall be made available for distribution to the Regular Certificates. Any Estimated Swap Termination Payment deposited into the Distribution Account by the Master Servicer shall be withdrawn by the Securities Administrator from such Distribution Account on the final Distribution Date and distributed as follows: (i) to the Supplemental Interest Trust for payment to the Swap Provider in accordance with Section 5.05, an amount equal to the Swap Termination Payment calculated pursuant to the Swap Agreement, provided that in no event shall the amount distributed to the Swap Provider in respect of the Swap Termination Payment exceed the Estimated Swap Termination Payment, and (ii) to the Master Servicer an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Estimated Swap Termination Payment over the Swap Termination Payment. The Swap Termination Payment shall not be part of any REMIC and shall not be paid into any account which is part of any REMIC.

Section 10.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.

If on any Determination Date, (i) the Securities Administrator determines based on the reports delivered by the Master Servicer under this Agreement that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans, and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Distribution Account, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Trustee and send a final distribution notice promptly to each Certificateholder or (ii) the Securities Administrator determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final distribution on such Class, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Certificateholders within five (5) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator set forth herein. If the Master Servicer elects to exercise the Cleanup Call pursuant to Section 10.01, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall notify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to exercise the Cleanup Call. The Master Servicer shall remit the Termination Price to the Securities Administrator on behalf of the related REMIC on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for such Optional Termination by the Master Servicer.

Notice of the exercise of the Cleanup Call specifying the Distribution Date on which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders mailed no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Securities Administrator will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholders.

In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon certification to the Trustee by the Securities Administrator of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments delivered to it and necessary to effectuate such transfer.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each such Class the amounts allocable to such Certificates held in the Distribution Account in the order and priority set forth in Section 5.05 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining affected Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six (6) months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining affected Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within two (2) years after the second notice all affected Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto and the Securities Administrator shall release such funds upon written direction.

Section 10.03 Additional Termination Requirements.

In the event of (i) the exercise by the Master Servicer of the Cleanup Call pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) final payment on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in REMIC I pursuant to Section 10.01, the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer (in the case of the exercise of the Cleanup Call) or the Depositor, to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the related Certificates are outstanding:

(1)

The Master Servicer (in the case of the exercise of the Cleanup Call) or the Depositor (in all other cases) shall establish a ninety-day liquidation period and notify the Securities Administrator thereof, and the Securities Administrator shall in turn specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the tax return for each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI, as applicable, pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable;

(2)	During such ninety-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Master Servicer (in the case of the exercise of the Cleanup Call) or the Depositor (in all other cases) shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I, for cash; and

(3)

At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.

By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Master Servicer (in the case of the exercise of the Cleanup Call) or the Depositor (in all other cases) to specify the ninety-day liquidation period for REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V and REMIC VI, as applicable, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

The Securities Administrator as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 10.03(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.01 Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by parties hereto, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer (in connection with any amendment which affects the Mortgage Loans, the Senior Certificates or the Certificate Insurer) but without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein, to change the manner in which the Distribution Account maintained by the Securities Administrator or the Custodial Account maintained by the Servicer is maintained or to make such other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as shall not be inconsistent with any other provisions herein if such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (or the Swap Provider unless the Swap Provider shall have consented to the amendment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; provided further that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel nor any letter from the Rating Agencies stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates shall be required if such amendment is to effect a transfer of servicing pursuant to Section 7.06(a) to a Successor Servicer satisfying the Minimum Servicing Requirements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders or the Swap Provider, the parties hereto may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement with the consent of the Certificate Insurer (in connection with any amendment which affects the Mortgage Loans, the Senior Certificates or the Certificate Insurer) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of each REMIC as a REMIC under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against any REMIC at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto, and the Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes with the consent of the Certificate Insurer (in connection with any amendment which affects the Mortgage Loans, the Senior Certificates or the Certificate Insurer) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates (or, if such amendment modifies the rights of the Swap Provider hereunder, with the consent of the Swap Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) cause any REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates of each Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such amendment will not (other than an amendment pursuant to clause (ii) of, and in accordance with, the preceding paragraph) cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and (ii) that all requirements for amending this Agreement (including any consent of the applicable Certificateholders) have been complied with.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

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

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the parties to this Agreement shall enter into any amendment to this Agreement that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Swap Provider hereunder (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendment to this Agreement that is entered into solely for the purpose of appointing a successor servicer, master servicer, securities administrator, trustee or other service provider) without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment that affects its rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Sponsor or the Depositor shall effect such recordation at the Trust’s expense upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.

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

Section 11.03 Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

Section 11.04 Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor to the Depositor, and by the Depositor to the Trust Fund be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Depositor or the Trust Fund, as applicable. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Sponsor to the Depositor, or by the Depositor to the Trust Fund. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Sponsor or the Depositor, as applicable, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) each conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Sponsor or the Depositor, as applicable, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the assets of the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.

Section 11.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

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

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee, a written notice of a Servicer Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee, hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity satisfactory to it as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee or for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders.

Section 11.10 Intention of the Parties and Interpretation.

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.13, 3.14, 3.18 and 5.16 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Sponsor and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff of the SEC from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests made by the Sponsor or the Depositor for delivery of additional or different information as the Sponsor or the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to provide any information in addition to that required by Sections 3.13, 3.14, 3.18 and 5.16 of this Agreement as of the Closing Date that the Depositor deems required under Regulation AB if (i) the Servicer does not believe that such additional information is required under Regulation AB and (ii) the Servicer is not providing such additional information for its own securitizations, unless the Depositor pays all reasonable costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with the preparation and delivery of such additional information and the Servicer is given reasonable time to establish the necessary systems and procedures to produce such additional information.

Section 11.11 [Reserved].

Section 11.12 Early Termination of the Swap Agreement.

Upon a Swap Agreement early termination other than in connection with the Optional Termination in respect of the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor swap provider, meeting all applicable eligibility requirements, which shall enter into a new interest rate swap agreement on terms substantially similar to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement with the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. If the Securities Administrator receives a Swap Termination Payment from the Swap Provider in connection with such Swap Early Termination, the Securities Administrator will apply such Swap Termination Payment to any upfront payment required to appoint the successor swap provider. If the Securities Administrator is required to pay a Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Provider in connection with such Swap Early Termination, the Securities Administrator will apply any upfront payment received from the successor swap provider to pay such Swap Termination Payment.

If the Depositor is unable to appoint a successor swap provider within 30 days of the Swap Early Termination, then the Securities Administrator will deposit any Swap Termination Payment received from the original Swap Provider into a separate, non-interest bearing reserve account and will, on each subsequent Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit in such reserve account an amount equal to the related Net Swap Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Securities Administrator by the original Swap Provider calculated in accordance with the terms of the original Interest Rate Swap Agreement, and distribute such amount in accordance with Section Section 5.05(d).

Section 11.13 Third Party Beneficiaries

The Swap Provider shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the extent of its express rights to receive any payments under this Agreement or any other express rights of the Swap Provider explicitly stated in this Agreement, and shall have the right to enforce such rights under this Agreement as if it were a party hereto.

In addition, the parties hereto agree that the Certificate Insurer is intended to be and shall have all rights of a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE CERTIFICATE INSURER

Section 12.01 Rights of the Certificate Insurer to Exercise Rights of the Holders of the Senior Certificates.

By accepting its Certificate, each Holder of a Senior Certificate agrees that unless a Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Certificate Insurer shall have the right to exercise all consent, voting, direction and other control rights of the Holders of the Senior Certificates under this Agreement without any further consent of the Holders of the Senior Certificates.

Section 12.02 Claims Upon the Policy; Insurance Account.

(a) If, on the Business Day next succeeding the Remittance Date, the Securities Administrator determines that the funds that will be on deposit in the Distribution Account, to the extent distributable to the Holders of the Senior Certificates pursuant to Section 5.05 are insufficient to pay the amount required to be paid by the Certificate Insurer under the Policy for such Distribution Date (the “Guaranteed Distribution”), the Securities Administrator shall give notice by telephone or telecopy of the aggregate amount of such deficiency, confirmed in writing in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the endorsement of the Policy, to the Certificate Insurer at or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date. If, subsequent to such notice, and prior to payment by the Certificate Insurer pursuant to such notice, additional amounts are deposited in the Distribution Account, the Securities Administrator shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer and withdraw the notice or reduce the amount claimed, as appropriate.

(b) The Securities Administrator shall establish a separate special purpose trust account for the benefit of Holders of the Senior Certificates and the Certificate Insurer referred to herein as the “ Insurance Account” over which the Securities Administrator shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Securities Administrator shall deposit any amount paid to it under the Policy in the Insurance Account and distribute such amount only for purposes of payment to Holders of the Senior Certificates of the Guaranteed Distribution for which a claim was made. Such amount may not be applied to satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian, any other Certificateholders or the Trust Fund. Amounts paid under the Policy shall be transferred to the Distribution Account in accordance with the next succeeding paragraph and disbursed by the Securities Administrator to Holders of Senior Certificates in accordance with Section 5.05 or Section 10.01, as applicable. It shall not be necessary for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or wire transfers used to pay the Guaranteed Distribution with other funds available to make such payment. However, the amount of any payment of principal of or interest on the Senior Certificates to be paid from funds transferred from the Insurance Account shall be noted as provided in paragraph (c) below and in the statement to be furnished to Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 5.08. Funds held in the Insurance Account shall not be invested by the Securities Administrator.

On any Distribution Date with respect to which a claim has been made under the Policy, the amount of any funds received by the Securities Administrator as a result of any claim under the Policy, to the extent required to make the Guaranteed Distribution on such Distribution Date, shall be withdrawn by the Securities Administrator from the Insurance Account and deposited in the Distribution Account and applied by the Securities Administrator, together with the other funds to be distributed to the holders of the Senior Certificates pursuant to Section 5.05, directly to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Distribution due on the Senior Certificates. Any funds remaining in the Insurance Account on the first Business Day following a Distribution Date shall be remitted by the Securities Administrator to the Certificate Insurer, pursuant to the written instructions of the Certificate Insurer, by the end of such Business Day.

(c) The Securities Administrator shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of interest and principal paid into the Insurance Account in respect of any Senior Certificate from moneys received by the Securities Administrator under the Policy. The Certificate Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Securities Administrator.

Section 12.03 Effect of Payments by the Certificate Insurer; Subrogation.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, for purposes of this Section 12.03, any payment with respect to principal of or interest on the Senior Certificates which is made with monies received pursuant to the terms of the Policy shall not be considered payment of the Senior Certificates from the Trust Fund. The Securities Administrator acknowledges, and each Holder by its acceptance of a Senior Certificate agrees, that without the need for any further action on the part of the Certificate Insurer or the Securities Administrator, to the extent the Certificate Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on the Senior Certificates to the Holders of such Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will be fully subrogated to, and each Holder of a Senior Certificate and the Depositor hereby delegate and assign to the Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund; provided that the Certificate Insurer shall be paid such amounts only from the sources and in the manner explicitly provided for herein.

The Securities Administrator shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Certificate Insurer’s rights or interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders as otherwise set forth herein.

Section 12.04 Notices and Information to the Certificate Insurer.

All notices, statements, reports, certificates or opinions required by this Agreement to be sent or made available to any other party hereto or to the Certificateholders shall also be sent or made available to the Certificate Insurer.

Section 12.05 Securities Administrator to Hold Policy.

The Securities Administrator will hold the Policy in trust as agent for the Senior Certificateholders for the purpose of making claims thereon and distributing the proceeds thereof. Neither the Policy, nor the amounts paid on the Policy will constitute part of the Trust Fund or assets of any REMIC created by this Agreement. Each Holder of a Senior Certificate, by accepting its Certificate, appoints the Securities Administrator as attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making claims on the Policy. The Securities Administrator shall surrender the Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation upon the expiration of the term of the Policy as provided in the Policy following the retirement of the Senior Certificates. To the extent that the Policy constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax purposes, (1) it shall be an outside credit support agreement and not an asset of any REMIC and (2) it shall be owned by the Certificate Insurer, all within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations.

Section 12.06 Payment of Policy Premium.

Unless otherwise designated in writing by the President or a Managing Director of the Certificate Insurer to the Securities Administrator, the Policy Premium to be paid pursuant to Section 5.05 shall be paid by the Securities Administrator to the Certificate Insurer by wire transfer with the following details specifically stated in the wire transfer:

	Bank: Citibank, N.A.
	ABA Number: 000000000
	For the account of: Ambac Assurance Corporation
	Account Number: 00000000
	Policy No: AB1099BE

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

SERIES 2007-3

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class A-[1][2][3][4] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family adjustable-rate mortgage loans sold by NOMURA ASSET ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation (“NAAC”) or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by NAAC or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of NAAC, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional first lien, adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned unit developments, individual condominium units, cooperatives, condotels and townhouses (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by NAAC. The Mortgage Loans were sold by Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) to NAAC. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among NAAC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), the Sponsor, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, as servicer, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the period commencing on the immediately preceding Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum Pass-Through Rate equal to the least of (i) the sum of One-Month LIBOR for that Distribution Date plus (A) on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, [___]% or (B) after the first possible Optional Termination Date, [__]%, (ii) the Class A Net Funds Cap, (iii) the Cap Rate and (iv) the Maximum Interest Rate. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in July 2037 which is not likely to be the date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

Prior to the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the representations set forth in Section 6.02(b) of the Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator. This Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and other assets included in the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust, all as more specifically set forth in the Agreement.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Certificate Insurer in the case of any amendment which affects the Senior Certificates or the Certificate Insurer, and Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligations to make payments to the Certificateholders) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the Master Servicer of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, provided that the Certificate Insurer’s consent will be required in connection with such purchase if the exercise of such purchase option would cause a draw on the Policy or result in any amounts owed to the Certificate Insurer remaining unreimbursed. Such optional repurchase may be made by the Master Servicer only if on such Distribution Date the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to exercise the Cleanup Call to the extent that the Depositor creates a net interest margin transaction which includes the Class X Certificates or Class P Certificates and the notes issued pursuant to such net interest margin transaction are outstanding on the date on which the Master Servicer intends to exercise the Cleanup Call. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier to occur of (i) expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the Assumed Final Distribution Date.

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

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

The Mortgage Loans were sold by Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) to NAAC. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among NAAC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), the Sponsor, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, as servicer, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.

This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the period commencing on the immediately preceding Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum Pass-Through Rate equal to the least of (i) the sum of One-Month LIBOR for that Distribution Date plus (A) on or prior to the first possible Optional Termination Date, [___]% or (B) after the first possible Optional Termination Date, [__]%, (ii) the Net Funds Cap, (iii) the Cap Rate and (iv) the Maximum Interest Rate.

The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in July 2037 which is not likely to be the date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation (“NAAC”) or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by NAAC or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person.

In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E and either F or G, as applicable, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation (“NAAC”) or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by NAAC or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person.

This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated July 10, 2007, between Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”) and Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”).

Preliminary Statement

The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter identified) and any rights of the Seller in, to and under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (exclusive of any upfront premiums paid by the providers of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement on the Closing Date) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced by a single series of mortgage pass-through certificates designated as Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation, Alternative Loan Trust, Series 2007-3, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the “Certificates”). The Certificates will consist of thirteen (13) classes of certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of June 1, 2007 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Purchaser as depositor, the Seller as sponsor, GMAC Mortgage, LLC as servicer (“GMACM”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Xxxxx Fargo”) as master servicer and securities administrator and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Purchaser will sell the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates to Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. (“Bear”) and Banc of America Securities LLC (“Banc of America”, together with Bear, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated June 28, 2007, among the Purchaser and the Underwriters, and the Terms Agreement, dated June 28, 2007, among the Purchaser and the Underwriters. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Pursuant to the custodial agreement, dated as of June 1, 2007 (the “Custodial Agreement”), among the Trustee, GMACM as servicer and Xxxxx Fargo as custodian (the “Custodian”), the Trustee intends to have the Custodian take possession of the Mortgages and Mortgage Notes, along with certain other documents specified in the Custodial Agreement, as the custodian of the Trustee, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase. The Seller hereby sells, and the Purchaser hereby purchases, on July 10, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), (a) certain conventional, one-to-four family, adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on residential real properties (the “Mortgage Loans”), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on June 1, 2007 (the “Cut-off Date”) of approximately $389,813,589 (the “Closing Balance”), after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received, including the right to any Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans and (b) rights under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (exclusive of any upfront premiums paid by the provider of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement on the Closing Date).

SECTION 2. Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) that describes such Mortgage Loans and sets forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement, including the Prepayment Charges. The Closing Schedule will conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 3. Consideration.

(a) In consideration for the Mortgage Loans and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (exclusive of any upfront premiums paid by the provider of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement on the Closing Date) to be purchased hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 10, (i) pay to or upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the “Purchase Price”) equal to (i) $____________* , (ii) a 100% interest in the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class X and Class P Certificates, which shall be registered solely in the name of NMF Investments, LLC, and (iii) a 100% interest in the Class R Certificates and Class R-X Certificates, which shall be registered solely in the name of Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc.

(b) The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due after the Cut-off Date, all other payments of principal due and collected after the Cut-off Date, and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to the period after the Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller.

(c) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (exclusive of any upfront premiums paid by the provider of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement on the Closing Date), together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

SECTION 4. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.

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

(b) Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. Pursuant to various conveyance documents to be executed on the Closing Date and pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign on the Closing Date all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, as their interests may appear. In connection with the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller has delivered or will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee by the Closing Date or such later date as is agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller (each of the Closing Date and such later date is referred to as a “Mortgage File Delivery Date”), the documents set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto, provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Seller may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (x) in lieu of the original Mortgage, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will upon receipt of recording information relating to the Mortgage required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Seller may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Seller on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording”; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents or if the originals are lost (in each case, as evidenced by a certification from the Seller to such effect), the Seller may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; and (z) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans, each identified in the list delivered by the Purchaser to the Trustee on the Closing Date and attached hereto as Exhibit 2, the Seller may deliver lost note affidavits and indemnities of the Seller; and provided further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee a certification by the Seller to such effect. The Seller shall deliver such original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) or such certified copies to the Trustee promptly after they are received. The Seller shall cause the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and the assignment of the Mortgage to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, or, in lieu of such assignments, shall provide an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 6 hereof to the effect that the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan. Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Seller will assist the Purchaser in effecting the assignment referred to above.

(c) In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s own expense, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser and by the Purchaser to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

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

SECTION 5. Examination of Mortgage Files.

(a) On or before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, the Seller will have made the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent for examination which may be at the offices of the Trustee or the Seller and/or the Seller’s custodian. The fact that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller shall make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from time to time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm the Seller’s compliance with the delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser, the Underwriters, the Certificate Insurer and to any investors or prospective investors in the Certificates information regarding the Mortgage Loans (which may be at the offices of the Seller and/or the Seller’s custodian) and to make available personnel knowledgeable about the Mortgage Loans for discussions with the Purchaser, the Underwriters and such investors or prospective investors, upon reasonable request during regular business hours, sufficient to permit the Purchaser, the Underwriters and such investors or potential investors to conduct such due diligence as any such party reasonably believes is appropriate.

(b) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, will review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Seller a certification in the form attached as Exhibit 1 to the Custodial Agreement.

(c) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, will review the Mortgage Files within 180 days of the Closing Date and will deliver to the Seller a final certification substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 to the Custodial Agreement. If the Custodian is unable to deliver a final certification with respect to the items listed in Exhibit 2 due to any document that is missing, has not been executed or is unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule (a “Material Defect”), pursuant to Section 6 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will notify the Trustee of such Material Defect and the Trustee shall notify the Seller and the Certificate Insurer of such Material Defect. The Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the Material Defect and if the Seller does not correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within ninety (90) days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a Replacement Mortgage Loan (if within two (2) years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original security instrument or intervening assignments thereof or a certified copy because the originals of such documents or such certified copy have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate of the Seller or a Servicing Officer confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee shall be effected by the Seller within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

(d) At the time of any substitution, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Replacement Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee shall (i) assign to the Seller and cause the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to release the documents (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File) in the possession of the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 6. Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.

(a) The Seller will, promptly after the Closing Date, cause each Mortgage and each assignment of Mortgage from the Seller to the Trustee, and all unrecorded intervening assignments, if any, delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, to be recorded in all recording offices in the jurisdictions where the related Mortgaged Properties are located; provided, however, the Seller need not cause to be recorded any assignment for which (a) the related Mortgaged Property is located in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as mortgagee of record solely as nominee for Seller and its successors and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Trust, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (v) with respect to any assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

(b) While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the Seller shall leave or cause to be left with the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. In the event that, within 180 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee has not been provided with an Opinion of Counsel as described above or received evidence of recording with respect to each Mortgage Loan delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof or as set forth above and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan, the failure to provide evidence of recording or such Opinion of Counsel shall be considered a Material Defect, and the provisions of Section 5(c) and (d) shall apply. All customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Seller.

SECTION 7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, and covenants, that:

(xii) There is no litigation currently pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge without independent investigation, threatened against the Seller that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of the Certificates or the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of this Agreement, or that would result in a material adverse change in the financial condition of the Seller.

(xiii) The Seller is a HUD approved mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 of the National Housing Act.

SECTION 8. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Mortgage Loans.

(i) Information provided to the Rating Agencies, including the loan level detail set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, is true and correct according to the Rating Agency requirements;

(ii) No fraud has taken place on the part of the Mortgagor or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan;

(iii) The delinquency status of each Mortgage Loan prior to the Cut-off Date, to the extent known by the Seller, is set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, dated July 6, 2007, prepared in connection with the offering of the Certificates. As of the Cut-off Date, no Monthly Payment required to be made under any Mortgage Loan was more than 30 days delinquent;

(iv) Neither the Seller nor the related originator of the Mortgage Loan has advanced any Monthly Payment required under the terms of the Mortgage Note;

(v) There are no delinquent taxes, assessment liens or insurance premiums affecting the related Mortgaged Property;

(vi) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been materially impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement (approved by the title insurer to the extent required by the policy);

(vii) The Mortgaged Property is insured against loss by fire and hazards of extended coverage (excluding earthquake insurance) in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and the Seller has not engaged in any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such insurance policies. Except as may be limited by applicable law, the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

(viii) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, predatory, fair lending or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including prepayment charges, if any, have been complied with in all material respects, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws;

(ix) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

(x) The Mortgage was recorded or was submitted for recording in accordance with all applicable laws and is a valid, existing and enforceable perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, subject only to (a) the lien of the current real property taxes and (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way and easements;

(xi) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, insured under the related title policy, and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;

(xii) The Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and has the full right to convey, transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and immediately upon the sale, assignment and endorsement of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have good and indefeasible title to and be the sole legal owner of the Mortgage Loans subject only to any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest arising out of the Purchaser’s actions;

(xiii) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a valid and binding American Land Title Association lender's title insurance policy issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, which title insurance policy is generally acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. No claims have been filed under such lender's title insurance policy, and the Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of the lender's title insurance policy;

(xiv) There is no material default, breach, violation event or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has not, nor has its predecessors, waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

(xv) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material provided to the related Mortgaged Property prior to the origination of the Mortgage Loan which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except as may be disclosed in the related title policy;

(xvi) Except with respect to approximately 2.39% of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date, which are balloon loans and approximately 87.90% of the Mortgage Loans by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date, which are interest only loans, each Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest (subject to adjustment in the case of the adjustable rate Mortgage Loans), with interest calculated on a 30/360 basis and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date over an original term from commencement of amortization to not more than thirty (30) years. No Mortgage Loan permits negative amortization;

(xvii) The servicing practices used in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans have been in all respects reasonable and customary in the mortgage servicing industry of like mortgage loan servicers, servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans in the same jurisdiction as the Mortgaged Property;

(xviii) To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;

(xix) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure;

(xx) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the related Mortgage referred to in subsection (x) above;

(xxi) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Seller to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(xxii) The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any valid right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(xxiii) The Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and in good repair, excepting therefrom any Mortgage Loan subject to an escrow withhold as shown on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(xxiv) All of the improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the Mortgaged Property's boundary lines and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, excepting therefrom: (i) any encroachment insured against in the lender's title insurance policy identified in clause (xiii) above, (ii) any encroachment generally acceptable to mortgage loan originators doing business in the same jurisdiction as the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) any encroachment which does not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage;

With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation and warranty was inaccurate as of the date such representation and warranty was made or deemed to be made, and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, then notwithstanding the lack of knowledge by the Seller with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, the Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraph in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any breach of a representation or warranty contained in clauses (viii), (xxxviii), (xliii), and/or (xliv), of Section 8 above, shall be automatically deemed to affect materially and adversely the interests of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee.

Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such missing documentation that was not transferred by the Seller as described above, or of materially defective documentation, or within 90 days of any such breach of a representation and warranty, the Seller promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects or, in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing document or cannot cure such defect or breach, the Seller shall, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any such missing or materially defective documentation or within 90 days of any such breach of a representation and warranty, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated by the Purchaser of the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 10. Closing; Payment for the Mortgage Loans. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the New York City office of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP at 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date.

The closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

(a) All of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date as of which they are made and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement;

(b) The Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the Purchaser shall have received in escrow (to be released from escrow at the time of closing), all Closing Documents as specified in Section 11 of this Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the respective terms thereof;

(c) The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered and released to the Purchaser or to its designee, all documents (including without limitation, the Mortgage Loans) required to be so delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(d) All other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall have been complied with.

Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller on the Closing Date, against delivery and release by the Seller to the Trustee of all documents required pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consideration for the Mortgage Loans as specified in Section 3 of this Agreement.

SECTION 11. Closing Documents. Without limiting the generality of Section 10 hereof, the closing shall be subject to delivery of each of the following documents:

(a) An Officers’ Certificate of the Seller, dated the Closing Date, upon which the Purchaser and the Underwriters may rely with respect to certain facts regarding the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser;

(c) Such opinions of counsel as the Rating Agencies, the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee may request in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser or the Seller’s execution and delivery of, or performance under, this Agreement; and

(d) Such further information, certificates, opinions and documents as the Purchaser or the Underwriters may reasonably request.

SECTION 12. Costs. The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person to the extent that the Purchaser or such other Person shall pay) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, fees for title policy endorsements and continuations, the fees and expenses of the Seller’s accountants and attorneys, the costs and expenses incurred in connection with producing a Servicer’s loan loss, foreclosure and delinquency experience, and the costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining the documents referred to in Sections 11(b) and 11(c), the costs and expenses of printing (or otherwise reproducing) and delivering this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates, the prospectus and prospectus supplement, and any private placement memorandum relating to the Certificates and other related documents, the initial fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel, the fees and expenses of the Purchaser’s counsel in connection with the preparation of all documents relating to the securitization of the Mortgage Loans, the filing fee charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission for registration of the Certificates and the fees charged by any rating agency to rate the Certificates.

SECTION 13. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest. The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from the security interest created hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 10 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred, and the security interest created by this Section 13 shall be deemed to have been released.

SECTION 14. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by fax and, receipt of which is confirmed by telephone, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at Two World Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx X, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, fax: (000) 000-0000, Attention: Legal Department (NAAC 2007-3), or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; and if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at Two World Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx X, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, fax: (000) 000-0000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxx, or to such other address as the Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser.

SECTION 15. Severability of Provisions. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or that is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

SECTION 16. Agreement of Parties. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 17. Survival. The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (EXCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL GOVERN.

SECTION 19. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 20. Third Party Beneficiary. For purposes of this Agreement the Certificate Insurer shall be considered a third party beneficiary to this Agreement entitled to all the rights and benefits accruing to the Certificate Insurer herein, as if it was a direct party to this Agreement.

TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT

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

___________________________ being duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants as follows:

I am a _____________________ of _______________________________ (the “Investor”) a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of _________________________, the record owner of Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation, Alternative Loan Trust, Series 2007-3 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Class [R][R-X] Certificates (the “Class [R][R-X] Certificates”), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Class [R][R-X] Certificates were issued.

The Investor (i) is and will be a “Permitted Transferee” as of ____________________. ____ and (ii) is acquiring the Class [R][R-X] Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Investor from which it has received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A “Permitted Transferee” is any person other than a “disqualified organization” or a possession of the United States. For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any real electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income.

The Investor is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class [R][R-X] Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class [R][R-X] Certificates after July 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class [R][R-X] Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the transferor of a “noneconomic residual interest” will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

The Investor is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Class [R][R-X] Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)

The Investor is aware that the Securities Administrator will not register the transfer of any Class [R][R-X] Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to the Securities Administrator, among other things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Investor expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.

The Investor consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class [R][R-X] Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Investor that is a Permitted Transferee.

The Investor’s taxpayer identification number is ________________.

The Investor has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class [R][R-X] Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class [R][R-X] Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 6.02(d) which authorize the Securities Administrator to deliver payments to a person other than the Investor and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Securities Administrator in the event that the Investor holds such Certificate in violation of Section 6.02(c)); and that the Investor expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.

The Investor is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class [R][R-X] Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

10.

The Investor anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class [R][R-X] Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class [R][R-X] Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class [R][R-X] Certificates that the Investor intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class [R][R-X] Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class [R][R-X] Certificates.

11.

The Investor has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Class [R][R-X] Certificates.

12.

The Investor has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding.

13.

The Investor is not acquiring the Class [R][R-X] Certificates with the intent to transfer the Class [R][R-X] Certificates to any person or entity that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class [R][R-X] Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class [R][R-X] Certificates remain outstanding.

14.

The Investor will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class [R][R-X] Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations required by Section 6.02(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class Class [R][R-X] Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such representations are false.

15.

The Investor will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class [R][R-X] Certificates, deliver to the Securities Administrator an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class [R][R-X] Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class [R][R-X] Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class [R][R-X] Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a “Permitted Transferee”.

16.

The Investor is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

17.

The Investor of the Class [R][R-X] Certificate, hereby agrees that in the event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and transfer to the Holders of the Class X and the Class P Certificates any amounts in excess of par received in connection with such termination. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class [I][II]-X and the Class [I][II]-P Certificates. This agreement shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the undersigned in the Class [R][R-X] Certificate. In connection with any transfer of the Class [R][R-X] Certificate, the Investor shall obtain an agreement substantially similar to this clause from any subsequent owner.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Investor has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors, by its [Vice] President, attested by its [Assistant] Secretary, this ____ day of _________________, ____.

Re:	Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation, Alternative Loan Trust, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 (the “Certificates”), including the Class [X][P][R][R-X] Certificates (the “Private Certificates”)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our purchase of Private Certificates, we confirm that:

	(i)	we understand that the Private Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;

	(ii)	any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Private Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Private Certificates has been made available to us;

	(iii)	we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Private Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor and we agree to obtain a representation from any transferee that such transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” so long as we are required to obtain a representation letter regarding compliance with the Act;

	(iv)	we are acquiring Private Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Private Certificates;

	(v)	we agree the Private Certificates must be held indefinitely by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available;

	(vi)	we agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Private Certificates (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Private Certificates unless:

		(A) (1) the sale is to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (2) if required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) a letter to substantially the same effect as either this letter or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined under Rule 144A of the Act, the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) (or such other documentation as may be acceptable to the Securities Administrator) is executed promptly by the purchaser and delivered to the addressees hereof and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; and
		(B) if the Private Certificate is not registered under the Act (as to which we acknowledge you have no obligation), the Private Certificate is sold in a transaction that does not require registration under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and, if the Securities Administrator or HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) so requests, a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel is furnished to such effect, which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the transferor or the transferee;
	(vii)	we agree to be bound by all of the terms (including those relating to restrictions on transfer) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, pursuant to which the Trust was formed; we have reviewed carefully and understand the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

	(viii)	we either: (i) are not acquiring the Private Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and/or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) are providing the opinion of counsel specified in Section 6.02(b) of the Agreement.

	(ix)	we understand that each of the Class [X][P][R][R-X] Certificates bears, and will continue to bear, legends substantially to the following effect: “THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, (I) Party B shall pay to Party A an amount equal to the absolute value of the Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, (II) Party B shall pay to Party A the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (III) Party A shall pay to Party B the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party B; provided, however, that (x) the amounts payable under the immediately preceding clauses (II) and (III) shall be subject to netting in accordance with Section 2(c) of this Agreement and (y) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any amount payable by Party A under the immediately preceding clause (III) shall not be netted against any amount payable by Party B under the immediately preceding clause (I).”

(E)

At any time on or before the Early Termination Date at which two or more Market Quotations from Approved Replacements have been communicated to Party B and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance by Party B, Party B shall be entitled to accept only the lowest of such Market Quotations (for the avoidance of doubt, (I) a Market Quotation expressed as a negative number is lower than a Market Quotation expressed as a positive number and (II) the lower of two Market Quotations expressed as negative numbers is the one with the largest absolute value).

(F)

In determining whether or not a Firm Offer satisfies clause (B)(y) of the definition of Replacement Transaction and whether or not a proposed transfer satisfies clause (e)(B)(y) of the definition of Permitted Transfer, Party B shall act in a commercially reasonable manner.

This Policy is noncancelable by Ambac for any reason, including failure to receive payment of any premium due hereunder. The premium on this Policy is not refundable for any reason. This Policy does not insure against loss of any prepayment or other acceleration payment which at any time may become due in respect of any Insured Obligation, other than at the sole option of Ambac, nor against any risk other than Nonpayment, including failure of the Trustee to make any payment due Holders of Insured Amounts.
