Section 5. Examination of Mortgage Files. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall either (a) deliver to the Purchaser or its designee in escrow, for examination with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be purchased, the related Mortgage File, including a copy of the Assignment of Mortgage (for Mortgage Loans that are not MERS Designated Mortgage Loans), pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make the related Mortgage File available to the Purchaser for examination at such other location as shall otherwise be acceptable to the Purchaser. Such examination of the Mortgage Files may be made by the Purchaser or its designee at any reasonable time before or after the related Closing Date.

The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller, purchase some or all of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or its designee has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not impair in any way the Purchaser’s (or any of its successor’s) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other remedy as provided in this Agreement. In the event that the Seller fails to deliver the Mortgage File with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, repurchase such Mortgage Loan as the price and in the manner specified in Subsection 7.03. Upon the consent of the Purchaser, the Seller shall make available to the Purchaser in digital format on compact disks or DVDs, selected Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage File which shall

-16-

include, without limitation, imaged documents required by the Purchaser to conduct an examination of the Mortgage File.

Section 6. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Subsection 6.01 Possession of Mortgage Files. The contents of each Mortgage File required to be retained by or delivered to the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and thus not delivered to the Purchaser, or its designee, are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof. The Servicer’s possession of any portion of each such Mortgage File is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage and the contents of each 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 which come into the possession of the Servicer shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Servicer at the will of the Purchaser in such custodial capacity only. The Mortgage File retained by the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer’s computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents of any Mortgage File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or if required under applicable law or court order.

Subsection 6.02 Books and Records. Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the related Closing Date shall be in the name of the Seller; provided, however, that if a Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, the Seller is shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ownership of each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Servicer after the related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 2 shall be vested in the Purchaser; provided, however, that all such funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 2 shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the related Mortgage Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of such Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. Consequently, the sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a purchase on the Purchaser’s business records, tax returns and financial statements, and as a sale of assets on the Seller’s business records, tax returns and financial statements.

Subsection 6.03 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

-17-

The Seller shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date (or such later date as the Purchaser may reasonably request), deliver and release to the Purchaser, or its designee, the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to a bailee letter agreement. In connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold such parties harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, the fact that no Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA or CLTA lender’s title insurance policy. For purposes of the previous sentence, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement.

To the extent received by it, the Servicer shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two (2) weeks after their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a copy, certified by the Servicer as a true copy, of any such document submitted for recordation within two (2) weeks after its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within two (2) weeks following receipt of the original document by the Servicer; provided, however, that such original recorded document or certified copy thereof shall be delivered to the Purchaser no later than 180 days following the related Closing Date, unless there has been a delay at the applicable recording office.

If the original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not delivered to the Purchaser or its designee within 180 days following the related Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the price and in the manner specified in Subsection 7.03. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply if the Seller cannot cause the Servicer to deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that (i) the Servicer shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an officer’s certificate of a servicing officer of the Servicer, confirming that such document has been accepted for recording, and (ii) such document is delivered within twelve (12) months of the related Closing Date.

The Seller shall pay all initial recording fees, if any, for the Assignments of Mortgage and any other fees or costs in transferring all original documents to the Custodian or, upon written request of the Purchaser, to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee. The Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee shall be responsible for recording the Assignments of Mortgage and shall be reimbursed by the Seller for the costs associated therewith pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Subsection 6.04 MERS Designated Loans

-18-

With respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, on or prior to the related Closing Date, designate the Purchaser as the Investor and the Custodian as custodian, and no Person shall be listed as Interim Funder on the MERS System. In addition, on or prior to the related Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Custodian and the Purchaser with a MERS Report listing the Purchaser as the Investor, the Custodian as custodian and no Person listed as Interim Funder with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan.

Section 7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Remedies for Breach.

Subsection 7.01 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date or such other date specified herein:

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the related Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

-19-

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any 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 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;

(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Underwriting Guidelines. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms with the Underwriting Guidelines. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;

(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. 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, predatory and abusive lending, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any provisions relating to a Prepayment Penalty, have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, 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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not

-20-

waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(i) Type of Mortgaged Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan and is not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, the Mortgaged Property is a fee simple estate that consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual residential condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, (or, with respect to each Co-op Loan, an individual unit in a residential cooperative housing corporation); provided, however, that any condominium unit, planned unit development or residential cooperative housing corporation shall conform with the Underwriting Guidelines. No portion of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. None of the Mortgaged Properties are Manufactured Homes, log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types;

(j) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected, first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

(i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

(ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.

-21-

With respect to any Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest on the related cooperative shares securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential cooperative housing corporation’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by the related Security Agreement;

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein;

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.

Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.

-25-

delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan, or cause the Mortgage Loan to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than the mortgage loans originated by the Seller generally;

Within sixty (60) days after the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein (or which materially and adversely affects the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans at

-33-

the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding the above sentence, within 60 days after the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of any breach of the representations or warranties set forth in clauses (qq), (ss), (tt), (uu), (vv), (ccc) or (ddd) of Subsection 7.01, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. However, the Seller may, at its option and assuming that Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that any such substitution shall be effected not later than ninety (90) days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser, and acceptable to the Seller, and shall be accomplished by the Seller remitting to the Servicer for deposit the amount of the Repurchase Price in the Custodial Account for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date.

At the time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan (or removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan), the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the assignment of the repurchased Mortgage Loan (or Deleted Mortgage Loan) to the Seller or its designee and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Purchaser relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan in the manner required by this Agreement with respect to the purchase and sale of such Mortgage Loan on the related Closing Date. In the event the Repurchase Price is deposited in the Custodial Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with its remittance to the Servicer of such Repurchase Price for deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase, the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by Subsection 6.03. The Seller shall remit to the Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine the amount

-34-

(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be remitted to the Servicer by the Seller for distribution by the Servicer in the month of substitution pursuant to Subsection 11.04. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller will remit to the Servicer from its own funds for deposit into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate.

In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold such parties harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement. For purposes of the previous sentence, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, together with the rights and remedies of the Purchaser under Subsection 12.01 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.

Subsection 7.04 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans with Early Payment Defaults. If the related Mortgagor is delinquent with respect to either of the Mortgage Loan’s first two Monthly Payments either (i) after origination of such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) after the related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. The Seller shall repurchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) days of such request.

Subsection 7.05 Premium Recapture. With respect to any Mortgage Loan without prepayment penalties that prepays in full on or prior to the related Closing Date or during the first sixty (60) days following the related Closing Date, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser, within thirty (30) Business Days after such prepayment in full or repurchase, an amount equal to the excess of the Purchase Price Percentage for such Mortgage Loan over par, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date.

Section 8. Closing. The closing for the purchase and sale of each Mortgage Loan Package shall take place on the related Closing Date. At the Purchaser’s option, each closing shall be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree, or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall agree. Each closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

(k) a certificate or other evidence of merger or change of name, signed or stamped by the applicable regulatory authority, if any of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Seller by merger or acquired or originated by the Seller while conducting business under a name other than its present name, if applicable;

All other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage including recording fees, fees for title policy endorsements and continuations, fees for recording Assignments of Mortgage, and the Seller’s attorney’s fees, shall be paid by the Seller.

Section 11. Administration and Servicing of the Mortgage Loans; Compliance with Regulation AB

Subsection 11.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer; Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Procedures and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through sub-servicers or agents, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer may perform its servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor; provided, however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent, and the Servicer has the consent of the Purchaser) the

-37-

Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the Mortgage Loan, including without limitation, any modification that would defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest or any penalty or premium on the prepayment of principal, change the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make any future advances, extend the final maturity date or change the Mortgage Interest Rate, as the case may be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or acting through sub-servicers or agents is hereby authorized and empowered by the Purchaser when the Servicer believes it appropriate and reasonable in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 11.12. The Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Purchaser shall furnish to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

The Purchaser and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Subsections 11.19, 11.20 and 11.24 of this Agreement are to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Purchaser shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser to permit the Purchaser to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

Subsection 11.02 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans. If any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. If any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days or more, the Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings in accordance with the guidelines set forth by Fannie

-38-

Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. In such event, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances.

Subsection 11.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable. Further, the Servicer will in accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures ascertain and estimate taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in any Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Subsection 11.04 Establishment of Custodial Account; Deposits in Custodial Account. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts (collectively, the “Custodial Account”), titled “GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., in trust for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc. as Purchaser of Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors.” Such Custodial Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which may be a depository affiliate of the Servicer) which meets the guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible depository institution for custodial accounts. In any case, the Custodial Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by the Servicer. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by (i) a certification in the form of Exhibit 4 hereto, in the case of an account established with a depository affiliate of the Servicer, or (ii) a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 5 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than an affiliate of the Servicer. In either case, a copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser upon request.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis on the Business Day following receipt thereof, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the related Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the related Cut-off Date):

(a) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;

(b) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;

(d) all proceeds received by the Servicer under any title insurance policy, hazard insurance policy, or other insurance policy other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures;

-39-

(e) all awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or eminent domain affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures;

(f) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsections 11.14, 11.16 and 11.18;

(g) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Subsection 11.12;

(h) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03, and all amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 7.03; and

(i) with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full, an amount (to be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with the Principal Prepayment in full, equals one month’s interest on the amount of principal so prepaid for the month of prepayment at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate; provided, however, that the Servicer’s aggregate obligations under this paragraph for any month shall be limited to the total amount of Servicing Fees actually received with respect to the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer during such month.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in 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, assumption fees and other ancillary fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.

The Servicer may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Eligible Investments designated in the name of the Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser, which shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Remittance Date next following the date of such investment (except that (A) any investment in the institution with which the Custodial Account is maintained may mature on such Remittance Date and (B) any other investment may mature on such Remittance Date if the Servicer shall advance funds on such Remittance Date, pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to make distributions to the Owner) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and above, all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.

Subsection 11.05 Withdrawals From the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(a) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Subsection 11.14;

-40-

(b) to reimburse itself for P&I Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (b) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Subsection 7.03, the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03, and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(c) to reimburse itself for any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (c) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser unless the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03, in which case the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03 and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(d) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and for xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances, in accordance with Subsection 11.16, to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable by the Servicer pursuant to subclause (b) or (c) above, provided that the Mortgage Loan for which such advances were made is not required to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 7.03;

(e) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Subsection 12.01;

(f) to withdraw amounts to make P&I Advances in accordance with Subsection 11.16;

(g) to pay to itself any interest earned or any investment earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account;

(h) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Custodial Account; and

(i) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

Subsection 11.06 Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow Account. The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts (collectively, the “Escrow Account”), titled “GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., in trust for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc. as Purchaser of Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors.” The Escrow Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan

-41-

association (which may be a depository affiliate of Servicer), which meets the guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible institution for escrow accounts. In any case, the Escrow Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by the Servicer. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 6 hereto, in the case of an account established with a depository affiliate of the Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 7 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository. In either case, a copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser upon request.

The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account on a daily basis, and retain therein: (a) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (b) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only in accordance with Subsection 11.07. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by law.

Subsection 11.07 Withdrawals From Escrow Account. Withdrawals from the Escrow Account shall be made by the Servicer only (a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage, (b) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer pursuant to Subsection 11.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, (c) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, (d) for transfer to the Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by applicable law, (e) for application to restore or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (f) to pay to the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (g) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the Mortgagor), (h) to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Note and applicable law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly Payment which is received after the applicable grace period, (i) to withdraw suspense payments that are deposited into the Escrow Account, (j) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Escrow Account or (k) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

Subsection 11.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. If a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such

-42-

bills irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments, subject to its ability to recover such Servicing Advances pursuant to Subsection 11.07(b). With respect to each Mortgage Loan, on or before January 31st of each year during the term of this Agreement, beginning January 31, 2006, the Servicer shall ensure that all taxes due during the prior calendar year have been paid on the related Mortgaged Property.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an LPMI Loan, Servicer shall maintain in full force and effect any LPMI Policy, and from time to time, withdraw the premium with respect to such Mortgage Loans from the Custodial Account in order to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis. In the event that the interest payments made with respect to the Mortgage Loan are less than the premium with respect to the LPMI Policy, Servicer shall advance from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall in the LPMI Policy premiums, in payment of such premium. Any such advance shall be a Servicing Advance subject to reimbursement. In the event that such LPMI Policy shall be terminated, Servicer shall obtain from another insurer acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines, a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated LPMI Policy, at substantially the same fee level. If the insurer shall cease to be an insurer acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines, Servicer shall determine whether recoveries under the LPMI Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that Servicer shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the LPMI Policy for such reason. If Servicer determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another insurer acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines a replacement insurance policy. Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such LPMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such LPMI Policy. If such LPMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, Servicer shall obtain a replacement LPMI Policy as provided above.

Purchaser, in its sole discretion, at any time, may (i) either obtain an additional LPMI Policy on any Mortgage Loan which already has an LPMI Policy in place, or (ii) obtain a LPMI Policy for any Mortgage Loan which does not already have a LPMI Policy in place. In any event, Servicer agrees to administer such LPMI Policies in accordance with the Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement.

In connection with its activities as servicer, Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy and LPMI Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any amounts collected by Servicer under any PMI Policy shall be deposited in the Escrow Account.

-43-

Subsection 11.09 Transfer of Accounts. The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser; such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Subsection 11.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located that conforms to the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain on REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which meets the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on REO Property other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Servicer, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either its insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies that do not conform to the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac.

Subsection 11.11 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. These policies shall insure the Servicer against losses resulting from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Servicer’s personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for the Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns. The Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Subsection 11.11 requiring such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer of its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx’ & Servicers’ Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, or in an amount as may be permitted to the Servicer by express waiver of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac.

Subsection 11.12 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property. If title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of FV-I Inc., a Delaware corporation, in either case as nominee, for the benefit of the Purchaser of record on the date of acquisition of title (the “Owner”). If the Servicer is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Servicer, at the expense of the Purchaser, from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Owner.

The Servicer shall cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition of the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Subsection 11.10 and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer. Any disbursement in excess of $5,000 shall be made only with the written approval of the Purchaser. The Servicer shall make distributions as required on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO Property net of the expenses described above and of any reserves reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities for such expenses).

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall be made at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Owner. Upon the request of the Owner, and at the Owner’s expense, the Servicer shall cause an appraisal of the REO Property to be performed for the Owner. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account and, as soon as practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Subsection 11.16 and any appraisal performed pursuant to this paragraph and the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.

The Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owner.

If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO property are held, the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the

-45-

meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code.

Upon request, with respect to any REO Property, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner a statement covering the Servicer’s efforts in connection with the sale of that REO Property and any rental of the REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month (together with an operating statement).

Subsection 11.13 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the Servicing Fee from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges and other ancillary income shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein.

Subsection 11.14 Distributions. On each Remittance Date the Servicer shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Purchaser of record on the preceding Record Date (a) all Monthly Payments due in the Due Period relating to such Remittance Date, whether received or not, plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Subsection 11.16, plus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received in the calendar month preceding the month in which the Remittance Date occurs, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayments in accordance with Subsection 11.04(i), minus (d) all amounts that may be withdrawn from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsections 11.05(b) through (e).

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percent (3%), but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer.

Subsection 11.15 Statements to the Purchaser. Not later than the 10th calendar day of each month (or, if such 10th day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day), the Servicer shall forward to the Purchaser in hard copy and electronic format mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller, a statement, substantially in the form of Exhibit 9 and certified by a Servicing Officer, setting forth (a) the amount of the distribution made on such Remittance Date which is allocable to principal and allocable to interest; (b) the amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicer during the prior calendar month; (c) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the preceding month; and (d) the paid through date for each Mortgage Loan. Such statement shall also include information regarding delinquencies on Mortgage Loans, indicating

-46-

the number and aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Loans which are either one (1), two (2) or three (3) or more months delinquent and the book value of any REO Property. The Servicer shall submit to the Purchaser monthly a liquidation report with respect to each Mortgaged Property sold in a foreclosure sale as of the related Record Date and not previously reported. Such liquidation report shall be incorporated into the remittance report delivered to Purchaser in the form of Exhibit 9 hereto.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Purchaser an individual loan accounting report in hard copy and electronic format mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Purchaser’s assigned loan number order (provided that such loan numbers previously have been provided in writing by the Purchaser to the Servicer) to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month, which report shall contain the following:

(i) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, along with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Subsection 11.14);

(ii) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest; and

(iii) the next actual due date for each Mortgage Loan.

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Servicer will furnish a report to each Person that was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year. Such report shall state the aggregate of amounts distributed to the Purchaser for such calendar year. Such obligation of the Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the Code.

The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Servicer shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for such Purchaser to prepare federal income tax returns as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

Subsection 11.16 Advances by the Servicer. On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall either (a) deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date (each such advance, a “P&I Advance”), (b) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Custodial Account that amounts held for

-47-

future distribution have been, as permitted by this Subsection 11.16, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance or (c) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (a) or (b) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Purchaser required to be made on such Remittance Date. The Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all other payments or recoveries (including proceeds under any title, hazard or other insurance policy, or condemnation awards) with respect to a Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such obligation shall cease (i) for any Mortgage Loan and on any Remittance Date that the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) occurs with respect to such Mortgage Loan or (ii) if the Servicer, in its good faith judgment, determines that P&I Advances would not be recoverable pursuant to Subsection 11.05(d). The determination by the Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be nonrecoverable, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, delivered to the Purchaser, which details the reasons for such determination.

Subsection 11.17 Assumption Agreements. The Servicer will use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note, provided that the Servicer shall permit such assumption if so required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, the Servicer will not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. In connection with any such assumption, the outstanding principal amount, the Monthly Payment or the Mortgage Interest Rate of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed, and the term of the Mortgage Loan will not be increased or decreased. If an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Subsection 11.17, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.

Subsection 11.18 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will obtain the portion of the Mortgage File that is in the possession of the Purchaser or its designee, prepare and process any required satisfaction or release of the Mortgage and notify the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to deliver to the Servicer the original Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan not later than three (3) Business Days following its receipt of a notice from the Servicer that such a payment in full has been received or that a notification has been received that such a payment in full shall be made. Such Mortgage Note shall be held by the Servicer, in trust, for the purpose of canceling such Mortgage Note and delivering the cancelled Mortgage Note to the Mortgagor in a timely manner as and to the extent provided under applicable state law. If the Mortgage has been recorded in the name of

-48-

MERS or its designee, the Servicer shall take all necessary action to effect the release of the Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS.

If the Servicer grants a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Servicer otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand of the Purchaser, shall remit to the Purchaser the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Fidelity Bond shall insure the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

-60-

servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

The Servicer immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 12.01 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Subsection 12.01, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Subsection 12.01, except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect, or from any liability which it may have, otherwise than under this Subsection 12.01. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with one local counsel, if applicable)), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).

Subsection 12.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer. The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each other

-61-

jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution whose deposits are insured by FDIC or a company whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage loans, unless otherwise consented to by the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC.

Subsection 12.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. The duties and obligations of the Servicer shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Servicer. Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures and otherwise in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer against any liability resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty made herein, or from any liability specifically imposed on the Servicer herein; and, provided, further, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of Subsection 12.01, the Servicer shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to the Servicer’s duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

Subsection 12.04 Seller and Servicer Not to Resign. With respect to the retention of the Seller to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Seller’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, neither Seller nor Servicer shall assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser’s sole discretion or upon the determination that the Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the unilateral resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the

-62-

Purchaser, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation or assignment shall become effective until a successor has assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with Subsection 14.02.

Section 13. Default.

Subsection 13.01 Events of Default. In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one (1) Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Purchaser;

(b) failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement which failure continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days (or, in the case of (i) the annual assessment of servicing compliance required under Subsection 11.20 in the form of Exhibit 16, or (ii) the annual independent public accountants’ servicing report required under Subsection 11.21, five (5) days) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Purchaser;

(c) 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, marshalling 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 (60) days;

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

(e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts 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;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Servicer, may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, commence termination of all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice from the Purchaser stating that it intends to terminate the Servicer as a result of such Event of Default, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Subsection 14.02. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Servicer shall, in accordance with Subsection 11.23 prepare, execute and deliver

-63-

to a successor any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited to, the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents to the successor at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 13.02 Waiver of Defaults. The Purchaser may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of 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 thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 14. Termination.

Subsection 14.01 Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, as servicer, shall terminate upon (a) the distribution to the Purchaser of the final payment or liquidation with respect to the last Mortgage Loan (or advances of same by the Servicer); (b) the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder, (c) by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Purchaser in writing or (d) pursuant to Subsection 14.02 by providing written notice to the Servicer at least 30 days prior to the related Transfer Date. Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection with any such termination, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in the Purchaser’s possession all Mortgage Files, and 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, at the Purchaser’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as servicer, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 14.02 Termination of the Servicer Without Cause.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser may terminate the obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer, without cause, upon payment to the Servicer of a termination fee equal to one and one half percent (1.5%) of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the date of such termination. The termination fee provided for in this Subsection 14.02 shall be paid by the Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days of any such termination without cause by the Purchaser.

-64-

(b) In the event that a Mortgage Loan (i) becomes delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more (a “Delinquent Mortgage Loan”) or (ii) becomes an REO Property, the Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO Property without payment of a termination fee therefor upon twenty (20) days’ written notice to the Servicer; provided that upon termination of this Agreement with respect to such Delinquent Loan or REO Property the Purchaser shall reimburse the Servicer for all outstanding Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees related to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan.

Subsection 14.03 Successors to the Servicer. Prior to the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 12.04, 13.01 or 14.01, the Purchaser shall, (a) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement or (b) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement upon such termination. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. If the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Subsections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Subsections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Subsection 14.03 and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Subsection 7.03, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 12.04, 13.01, 14.01 or 14.02 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment.

Section 15. Cooperation of Seller with a Reconstitution. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates (each, a “Reconstitution Date”) at the Purchaser’s sole option, the Purchaser may effect a sale (each, a “Reconstitution”) of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:

With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization Transaction entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees in its capacity as Seller or Servicer as applicable (1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution Agreements reasonably required by the Purchaser; (3) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.02 as of the Reconstitution Date; (4) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.01 as of the Reconstitution Date, modified to the extent necessary to accurately reflect the pool statistics of the Mortgage Loans as of the Reconstitution Date and any event or circumstances existing subsequent to the related Closing Date and (5) make the representations and warranties set forth in the related selling/servicing guide of the servicer, or such representations or warranties as may be required by any rating agency or prospective purchaser of the related securities or such Mortgage Loans, in connection with such Reconstitution, in each case, as of the applicable Reconsitution Date modified to the extent necessary to accurately reflect the pool statistics of the Mortgage Loans as of the Reconstitution Date and any event or circumstances existing subsequent to the related Closing Date.

The Seller shall provide to such servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants or purchasers in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller or its affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall reasonably request; and (ii) such reasonable and additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller or the Servicer as are reasonably believed necessary by the Purchaser or any such other participant. Seller shall also execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement required by the Purchaser or any such

-66-

participant, including, without limitation, an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3. Moreover, the Seller agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser to effect such Reconstitution Agreements.

Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

Section 17. Severability Clause. Any part, provision representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, 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. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

Section 18. No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a co-partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto and the services of the Servicer shall be rendered as an independent contractor and not as agent for the Purchaser.

Section 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 20. Governing Law Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED IN EFFECT WHEN A FULLY EXECUTED COUNTERPART THEREOF IS RECEIVED BY THE PURCHASER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW RULES AND PRINCIPLES. EACH OF THE PURCHASER AND THE SELLER IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; (II) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST

-69-

EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT; (III) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW; AND (IV) CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AS PROVIDED FOR NOTICES HEREUNDER.

Section 21. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.

The sale and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, it being 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 (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver (i) each of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligations under the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, and the Seller agrees that it shall hold such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) under the terms of this Agreement and to require another Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) to be substituted therefor, and (ii) obligation to pay the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. 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.

Section 22. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification of such arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent direct ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

Section 23. Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or

-70-

hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may be withheld by the Purchaser in its sole discretion. This Agreement may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Purchaser in whole or in part, and with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, without the consent of the Seller. There shall be no limitation on the number of assignments or transfers allowable by the Purchaser with respect to the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement. In the event the Purchaser assigns this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look solely to such assignee, and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the obligations so assumed and the Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability to the Seller with respect thereto.

Section 24. Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

Section 25. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

The parties hereto agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in

-71-

evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party hereto in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

Section 28. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

Section 29. Confidentiality. Each of the Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer shall employ proper procedures and standards designed to maintain the confidential nature of the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent: (a) the disclosure of which is reasonably believed by such party to be required in connection with regulatory requirements or other legal requirements relating to its affairs; (b) disclosed to any one or more of such party’s employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys or accountants who would have access to the contents of this Agreement and such data and information in the normal course of the performance of such Person’s duties for such party, to the extent such party has procedures in effect to inform such Person of the confidential nature thereof; (c) that is disclosed in a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum relating to a securitization of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser (or an affiliate assignee thereof) or to any Person in connection with the resale or proposed resale of all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans by such party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (d) that is reasonably believed by such party to be necessary for the enforcement of such party’s rights under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, each of the Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer agree and acknowledge that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except to the extent that confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms "tax treatment" and "tax structure" have the meanings specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).

Section 30. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto and any prior oral or written agreements between them shall be deemed to have merged herewith.

Section 31. Further Agreements. The Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 32. No Solicitation. From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors on the Seller’s behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit a Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding

-72-

the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates:

(a) may advertise its availability for handling refinancings of mortgages in its portfolio, including the promotion of terms it has available for such refinancings, through the sending of letters or promotional material, so long as it does not specifically target Mortgagors and so long as such promotional material either is sent to the mortgagors for all of the mortgages in the servicing portfolio of the Seller, the Servicer and any of their affiliates (those it owns as well as those serviced for others);

(b) may provide pay-off information and otherwise cooperate with individual mortgagors who contact it about prepaying their mortgages by advising them of refinancing terms and streamlined origination arrangements that are available; and

(c) may offer to refinance a Mortgage Loan made within thirty (30) days following receipt by it of a pay-off request from the related Mortgagor.

Promotions undertaken by the Seller or the Servicer or by any affiliate of the Seller or the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large (including, without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements), shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 32.

Section 33. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE SELLER AND THE PURCHASER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to the Purchaser. If the Assignment of Mortgage is not to be recorded, the Assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered in blank. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the Assignment of Mortgage must be made by “[Seller], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”.

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of [_______], 200_, among [________________] (the “Depositor”), a [______________] corporation (the “Depositor”), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc., a New York corporation (“Xxxxxx”) and GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Seller”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Depositor is acting as depositor and registrant with respect to the Prospectus, dated [________________], and the Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus, [________________] (the “Prospectus Supplement”), relating to [________________] Certificates (the “Certificates”) to be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [________________] (the “P&S”), among the Depositor, as depositor, [________________], as servicer (the “Servicer”), and [________________], as trustee (the “Trustee”);

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Depositor to enter into the P&S, and [____________________] (the “Underwriter[s]”) to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, dated [____________________] (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Depositor and the Underwriter[s], Seller has agreed to provide for indemnification and contribution on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

WHEREAS, Xxxxxx purchased from Seller certain of the Mortgage Loans underlying the Certificates (the “Mortgage Loans”) pursuant to a Fourth Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2005 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), by and between Xxxxxx and Seller; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 15 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Seller has agreed to provide indemnification for certain information.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements contained herein, and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Depositor, Xxxxxx and the Seller agree as follows:

(1) Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s] and their respective affiliates and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s] or such affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the

EXH. 3-1

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based in whole or in part upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, Free Writing Prospectus or in the ABS Informational and Computational Materials or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement, Free Writing Prospectus or in the ABS Informational and Computational Materials a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or alleged omission made in any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus Supplement, Free Writing Prospectus or the ABS Informational and Computational Materials and agrees to reimburse the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s] or such affiliates and each such officer, director, employee, agent and controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that Seller shall be liable in any such case only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Seller Information. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which Seller may otherwise have to the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s], their affiliates or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person of the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s] or their respective affiliates.

As used herein:

“Seller Information” means any information relating to Seller, the Mortgage Loans and/or the underwriting guidelines relating to the Mortgage Loans submitted by the Seller for use in the Prospectus Supplement, Free Writing Prospectus or the ABS Informational and Computational Materials.

“Free Writing Prospectus” means any written communication that constitutes a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act.

“ABS Informational and Computational Materials” means any written communication as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, as may be amended from time to time.

(b) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 1 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, however, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party

shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.

If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, except as provided in the following paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 1 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is necessary or appropriate for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties.

Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 1, shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1 is unavailable to an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnified party and indemnifying party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations.

(d) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1 and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s], their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents or any person controlling the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s] or any such affiliate, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Certificates.

(2) Representations and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants that:

(i) Seller is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation, as applicable, and has full power and authority to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO SELLER

______________2005

Re:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), in connection with certain matters described in the Agreements. In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under my direction have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified as being true copies of the following:

	A.	Signed copies of the Agreements;
	B.	The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
	C.	The Company’s By-Laws; and
	D.	Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company.

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual and legal examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Company, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed, among other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copied documents.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Agreements.

XXX. 00-0

0. The Agreements have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

3. The Agreements constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

4. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any United States federal or California government authority on the part of the Company is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreements, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.

5. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements will not, as of the Closing Date, result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, or, to the best of my knowledge, result in a violation of, or constitute a default under, (i) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any California or United States federal statute or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) any order of any State of California or United States federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, except in any such case where the violation or default would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to perform its obligations under the Agreements.

6. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my judgment, would draw into question the validity of the Agreements or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Agreements.

The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

A. I have assumed that all parties to the Agreements other than the Company have all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under the Agreements, and that the Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such parties, have been executed and delivered by such parties and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties.

B. My opinion expressed in paragraph 3 above is subject to the qualifications that (i) the enforceability of the Agreements may be limited by the effect of laws relating to (1) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, and (2) general principles of equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Agreements and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and the application of principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any

EXH. 11-2

proceeding for such enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion herein with respect to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability of provisions for indemnification in the Agreements to the extent such provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy.

C. My opinion expressed in paragraph 5 above relating to violations of United States federal and California statutes, regulations or orders applicable to the Company is limited to such statutes, regulations or orders that in my experience are typically applicable to a transaction of the nature contemplated by the Agreements.

D. I have assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no agreements or understandings among the Company and any other party, which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Agreements or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

I am admitted to practice in the State of California, and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving or governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California and the federal laws of the United States of America. I also express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the Agreements.

This opinion letter has been prepared and should be understood in accordance with the Legal Opinion Principles, 53 Bus. Law. 831 (1998), and Guidelines for the Preparation of Closing Opinions, 57 Bus. Law. 345 (2001), of the Committee on Legal Opinions, ABA Section of Business Law.

From and after the date hereof (the “Securitization Closing Date”), the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to [__________________] (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [__________, 200_] (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, the Assignor, [___________________], as trustee (including its successors in interest and any successor trustees under the Pooling Agreement, the “Trustee”), [____________________], as servicer (including its successors in interest and any successor servicer under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicer”).

EXH. 15-2

obligations under this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Company is solvent.

4.
