This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of June 1, 2007 (this “Agreement”), is executed by and among ACE Securities Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), Xxxxxxx Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”), and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article I hereof.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor at the Closing Date is the owner of the Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee for inclusion in the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of the Loans and certain other assets. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust Fund as consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Loans and certain other assets and will be the owner of the Certificates. The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Loans and the issuance to the Depositor of the Certificates representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein with respect to the Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the trust created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

The Certificates issued hereunder, other than the Class CE-1, Class CE-2, Class CE-3, Class P and Class R Certificates, have been offered for sale pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement dated June 29, 2007 to a Prospectus dated June 11, 2007 (together, the “Prospectus”). The Trust Fund created hereunder is intended to be the “Trust” as described in the Prospectus and the Certificates are intended to be the “Certificates” described therein.

The Securities Administrator shall elect that each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III, be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections. The assets of REMIC I shall include the Loans (exclusive of the Class CE-2 Excess Servicing Fee and the Class CE-3 Excess Servicing Fee), the accounts (other than the Collateral Accounts, the Reserve Fund, the Floor Account, the Class I-A-1B Swap Account, the Class A-2A Swap Account and the Certificate Swap Account), any REO Property, and any proceeds of the foregoing. The REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC II. The REMIC II Regular Interests shall constitute the assets of REMIC III (the “Master REMIC”). The Class R Certificate shall represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC formed hereby. For purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for each regular interest created hereby shall be the 36th month following the latest maturity date of any Loan held in the Trust on the Closing Date.

____________________

(1)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for the T1-A Interest is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Loans as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (the “REMIC I Net WAC Rate”).

(2)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for this interest is a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) 10.95%, and (ii) the product of (a) the REMIC I Net WAC Rate and (b) 2.

(3)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the REMIC I Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) 10.95%.

(4)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate initial principal balance of the Loans over (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of all remaining REMIC I Regular Interests.

(5)

The R-I interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest. The R-I interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC I.

(6)

This interest shall also be entitled to all Trust Prepayment Charges received in respect of the Loans.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC I based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal in respect of Loans shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

(a)

First, to the T1-A interest until the outstanding principal balance of such interest is reduced to zero, and

(b)

Second, sequentially, to the other REMIC I Regular Interests in ascending order of their numerical designation, and, with respect to each pair of REMIC I Regular Interests having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such REMIC I Regular Interest, until the principal balance of each is reduced to zero.

REMIC II:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC II, each of which (other than the R-II interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC II (the “REMIC II Regular Interests”):

___________________

(1)

The interest rate (the “REMIC Maximum Rate”) with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) for this interest is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates of the regular interests in REMIC I provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class T2-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a REMIC I Regular Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote three, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such REMIC I interest to a cap equal to the product of the interest rate used to compute the Certificate Swap Provider Payment adjusted to reflect the day count convention used for such interest rate for such Distribution Date and 2 (“Certificate Swap LIBOR”).

(2)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interests over (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of all remaining REMIC II Regular Interests.

(3)

The Class T2-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column in the table below, the Class T2-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on the REMIC I Regular Interest listed in the second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) the Certificate Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

(4)

The R-II interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest. The R-II interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC II.

(5)

This interest is a REMIC II Accretion Directed Class.

(6)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to one-half of the initial Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates.

(7)

This interest shall also be entitled to all Trust Prepayment Charges received in respect of the Loans.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC II based on the above-described interest rates, provided however, that interest that accrues on the T2-Accrual Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the distributions of principal described below. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the T2-Accrual Interest.

On each Distribution Date the principal distributed on the interests in REMIC I (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the T2-Accrual Interest for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed, and Realized Losses in respect of the Loans shall be allocated, among the interests in REMIC II in the following order of priority:

(a)

First, to each interest in REMIC II having a Corresponding Class in the Master REMIC until the outstanding principal amount of each such interest equals one-half of the outstanding principal amount of such Corresponding Class for such interest immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(b)

Second, to the T2-Accrual Interest, any remaining amounts.

REMIC III:

The following table sets forth characteristics of the interests in REMIC III, each of which, except for the Class R-III interest, is hereby designated as a “regular interest” in REMIC III (the “REMIC III Regular Interests”):

(1)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates or Component.

(2)

The T3-X interest has a notional balance equal to the aggregate initial principal balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests. The interest rate of the T3-X interest shall be a rate sufficient to cause all net interest from the Loans to accrue on the T3-X interest that is in excess of the total amount of interest that accrues on each other regular interest in REMIC III. For any Distribution Date, the interest rate in respect of the T3-X interest shall be the excess of: (i) the weighted average interest rate of all interests in REMIC II (other than any interest-only regular interest) over (ii) the product of: (A) two and (B) the weighted average interest rate of the REMIC II Accretion Directed Classes and the T2-Accrual Interest, where the T2-Accrual Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each REMIC II Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through Rate on its Corresponding Class of Certificates, provided that, for purposes of determining the Pass-Through Rate, (i) the REMIC Maximum Rate shall be substituted for the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate in the definition thereof and (ii) the margin of the Pass-Through Rate of the Class I-A-1B Certificates shall be computed as if the Class I-A-1B Swap Agreement had been terminated and the margin of the Pass-Through Rate of the Class I-A-2A and Class III-A-2A Components shall be computed as if the Class A-2A Swap Agreement had been terminated. The T3-X interest shall also be entitled to principal equal to the excess of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cut-Off Date over the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance of the other Certificates as of the Closing Date. Such principal balance shall not bear interest. In addition, the T3-X interest shall be entitled to receive interest accrued on the Class T2-I-A-1B interest at a per annum rate equal to 0.12% per annum on or before the first related Optional Termination Date and 0.24% thereafter and shall be entitled to received interest accrued on the Class T2-I-2A and Class T2-III-A-2A interests at a per annum rate equal to 0.12% on or before the first Optional Termination Date and 0.24% thereafter. Finally, the T3-X Interest shall be entitled to receive all amounts payable on the T2-IO interest.

(3)

This interest shall bear interest at the Pass-Through Rate for its Corresponding Class of Certificates or Component, provided that, for purposes of determining the Pass-Through Rate, the REMIC Maximum Rate shall be substituted for the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate in the definition thereof, and, in the case of the Class I-A-1B Certificates and the Class I-A-2A and Class II-A-2A Components, such rates shall be determined as if the Class I-A-1B Swap Agreement and the Class A-2A Swap Agreement had been terminated.

(4)

The T3-P interest shall not be entitled to payments of interest, but shall be entitled to receive all Trust Prepayment Charges in respect of the Loans.

(5)

REMIC III shall also issue the R-III interest, which shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The R-III interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC III.

(6)

For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class of Certificates or Component corresponding to an interest in the Master REMIC shall represent beneficial ownership of such interest in the Master REMIC. Any amount distributed on a Corresponding Class of Certificates or Component on any Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on each interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates or Component shall be treated as having been paid from the Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable, and any amount distributable on each interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates on or Component such Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on that Class of Certificates or Component on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 10.1 hereof.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be allocated with respect to the interests in REMIC III based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the principal distributed on the REMIC II interests shall be distributed, and Realized Losses in respect of the Loans shall be allocated, among the interests in REMIC III in an amount equal to the principal distributions and Realized Loss allocations for such Distribution Date with respect to the Corresponding Class of Certificates or Component related to such interests, determined without regard to the Certificate Swap Agreement, the Class I-A-1B Swap Agreement or the Class A-2A Swap Agreement.

In lieu of repurchasing any such Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Loan) and substitute one or more Substitute Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the representation made by the Seller in Section 6(xxiv) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is breached, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller to repurchase such Loan at the Purchase Price, or to provide a Substitute Loan (plus any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation by any such Loan of any predatory or abusive lending law) within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such breach.

In addition, should the Master Servicer become aware of or in the event of its receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the Seller set forth in Section 5(x) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller and the Trustee of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remedy such breach to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(b)

Any substitution of Substitute Loans for Deleted Loans made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) must be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for the REMIC I.

As to any Deleted Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Substitute Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such Substitute Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2 of the Custodial Agreements, as applicable, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Substitute Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Substitute Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, with respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, an initial certification pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer a final certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement with respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Substitute Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Substitute Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included herein or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Substitute Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the Due Date in the month of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Substitute Loan or Loans and certification by the Securities Administrator of such deposit and receipt by the applicable Custodian of a properly completed request for release for such Loan in the form of Exhibit 3 to the related Custodial Agreement, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(c)

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, that any Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or substitute one or more Substitute Loans for the affected Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Seller, if the affected Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage does not result from a breach of representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.3(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller or the Depositor the Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

(d)

Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.5 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Loan or Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

Section 2.4

(a)

The Trustee acknowledges the transfer to the extent provided herein and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has caused the Securities Administrator to execute and authenticate and has delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Fund, Certificates evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.

(b)

Section 2.9

Tax Status and Reporting for Class CE-2 and Class CE-3 Certificates.

The Securities Administrator shall treat the portion of the Trust Fund in respect of the assets distributable to the Class CE-2 and Class CE-3 Certificates as a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Securities Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator to do so is provided to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis. For this purpose, the Securities Administrator may assume that the DTC is the only middleman listed as the registered holder for the related securities. The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of the Depositor incorrectly determining the status of the portion of the Trust Fund in respect of the assets distributable to the Class CE-2 and Class CE-3 Certificates as a WHFIT.

The Securities Administrator shall report required WHFIT information using the accrual method. The Securities Administrator shall make available WHFIT information to certificate holders annually. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any certificate holder, unless requested by the certificate holder.

The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Securities Administrator, (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Securities Administrator or (iii) the inability of the Securities Administrator, after good faith efforts, to alter its existing information reporting systems to capture information necessary to fully comply with the WHFIT Regulations for the 2007 calendar year. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Securities Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator may assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Securities Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Securities Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Securities Administrator shall use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

For federal income tax purposes, the grantor trust created hereunder shall have a calendar year taxable year. The Trust Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities, income tax information returns for each taxable year with respect to the grantor trust, if applicable.

The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.3 and any other information and statements required to be provided by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Distribution Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

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

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

The Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator regarding the related Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, none of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator shall be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the willful malfeasance or any wrongful or negligent actions taken by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in respect of any document delivered by the Trustee under this paragraph, and the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense arising from the misuse thereof by the Master Servicer or such Servicer.

Section 3.2

REMIC-Related Covenants.

For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall treat such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Seller, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel stating that such sale will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined in Section 10.1(f) hereof prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund, and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Assignment Agreements or Section 2.3 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel stating that such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined in Section 10.1(f) hereof.

Section 3.3

Monitoring of Servicers.

(a)

The Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of any Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Seller, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate; provided, however that if the defaulting Servicer is Xxxxx Fargo, the Trustee shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b)

The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer (other than Xxxxx Fargo) fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder (with the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any) and act as servicer of the related Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer and acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, if any; provided however that if the defaulting servicer is Xxxxx Fargo, the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer (with the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any) and enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor servicer selected by it and acceptable to the NIMS Insurer provided, further that, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed ninety (90) days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Loans. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have received indemnity reasonably acceptable to it for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c)

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

(d)

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

(e)

If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, acts as successor Servicer, it shall not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.

(f)

To the extent a Servicer requests the consent of the Trust or the Master Servicer with respect to any servicing-related matter for which the applicable Servicer is required to seek consent under the applicable Servicing Agreement or Assignment Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly or within the time frame specified in such Servicing Agreement, if any, evaluate such request for consent in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, and grant or withhold such consent accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in this Section 3.3(f), shall only permit the Servicer to waive, modify or vary any term of such Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of the principal or interest, increase the principal balance, or extend the final maturity date of such Loan, provided such maturity date does not extend beyond the termination date of the security, accept payment from the related Mortgagor in an amount less than the Scheduled Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Loan (such payment, a “Short Pay-off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if (a) the Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, such default is reasonably foreseeable and (b) in the judgment of the applicable Servicer pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, any such modification, waiver or amendment could reasonably be expected to result in collections and other recoveries in respect of such Loans in excess of Liquidation Proceeds that would be recovered upon the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, such Loan; provided further, that the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be required pursuant to the terms of such Servicing Agreement, for any modification of a Loan (excluding for this purpose any waiver of a Loan pursuant to this Servicing Agreement) if the aggregate number of outstanding Loans which have been modified in the aggregate by all of the Servicers and have been reported as modified to the Credit Risk Manager exceeds 5% of the number of Loans as of the Cut-Off Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not knowingly waive or permit the applicable Servicer to waive a Prepayment Charge due on any Loan, unless: (i) such Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Loan, (ii) the collection of the Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable law or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3.3(f), no modification, waiver or amendment of a Loan shall be permitted if it would result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(g)

To the extent a Servicer is obligated under the related Servicing Agreement to procure the consent of the Master Servicer in connection with the Servicer’s engagement of a Subservicer to perform any servicing responsibilities under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to the related Loans, the Master Servicer will only give such consent if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the NIMS Insurer, if any, has previously consented thereto in writing and (ii) that Subservicer first agrees in writing with such Servicer and the Master Servicer to deliver an Annual Statement of Compliance, an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permit that Servicer and the Master Servicer to comply with Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 of this Agreement.

(h)

The Master Servicer shall enforce any negative covenant in the related Servicing Agreement which prohibits a Servicer from outsourcing one or more separate servicing functions under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to the Loans to any Subcontractor unless both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the NIMS Insurer previously agrees in writing to such outsourcing and (ii) that Subcontractor first agrees in writing with such Servicer and the Master Servicer to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permits that Servicer and the Master Servicer to comply with Section 3.17 and 3.18 of this Agreement.

Section 3.4

Fidelity Bond.

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

Section 3.5

Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.3, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless each of the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer or NIMS Insurer, if any) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney, in form acceptable to the Trustee, empowering the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer or the related Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for the misuse of any such powers of attorney or any other executed documents delivered by the Trustee pursuant to this paragraph by the Master Servicer or any Servicer and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or such Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such misuse). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action authorized pursuant to this Agreement to be taken by it in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

Section 3.6

Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

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

Section 3.7

Release of Mortgage Files.

(a)

Upon becoming aware of a Payoff with respect to any Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that a Payoff has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the applicable Servicer will (or if the applicable Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a request for release substantially in the form attached to the related Custodial Agreement, and signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee and applicable Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such Payoff, each Servicer is authorized to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Distribution Account.

(b)

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

Section 3.8

In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b)

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

Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Loan where the terms of the Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24.

The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance) primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

The Master Servicer agrees to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any primary mortgage insurance policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance policies respecting defaulted Loans.

As provided in Sections 3.23(c) and 3.24(b) or as otherwise provided in the Servicing Agreements certain amounts otherwise due to the Servicers may be retained by them and need not be deposited in the Distribution Account.

Section 3.23

Distribution Account.

(a)

The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account as a segregated trust account or accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account as identified by the Master Servicer and as received by the Master Servicer, the following amounts:

(i)

Any amounts withdrawn from a Protected Account;

(ii)

Any Advance and any amounts in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or Curtailment Shortfalls;

(iii)

Any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer;

(iv)

The Purchase Price with respect to any Loans purchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.3 and all proceeds of any Loans or property acquired with respect thereto purchased by the Terminator pursuant to Section 9.1;

(v)

Any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or any Servicer with respect to losses on investments of deposits in an Account; and

(vi)

Any other amounts received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer and required to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities Administrator in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Distribution Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges, need not be credited by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to the Distribution Account. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(c)

The Distribution Account shall constitute a trust account of the Trust Fund segregated on the books of the Securities Administrator and held by the Securities Administrator in trust in its Corporate Trust Office, and the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein shall not be subject to, and shall be protected from, all claims, liens, and encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Securities Administrator (whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or receiver of the Securities Administrator). The amount at any time credited to the Distribution Account shall be invested in the name of the Master Servicer, in such Eligible Investments selected by the Master Servicer or deposited in demand deposits with such depository institutions as selected by the Master Servicer, provided that time deposits of such depository institutions would be an Eligible Investment. All Eligible Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the Distribution Date following the date of the investment of such funds (the “Investment Withdrawal Distribution Date”) if the obligor for such Eligible Investment is the Securities Administrator or, if such obligor is any other Person, the Business Day preceding such Investment Withdrawal Distribution Date. All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account from time to time shall be for the account of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date. If there is any loss on an Eligible Investment or demand deposit, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amount from its own funds in the Distribution Account. With respect to the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein, the Securities Administrator shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the Certificateholders shall be entitled to the priorities afforded to such a trust account (in addition to a claim against the estate of the Securities Administrator) as provided by 12 U.S.C. § 92a(e), and applicable regulations pursuant thereto, if applicable, or any applicable comparable state statute applicable to state chartered banking corporations.

Section 3.24

(a)

The Securities Administrator shall, from time to time on demand of the Master Servicer make or cause to be made such withdrawals or transfers from the Distribution Account as the Master Servicer has designated for such transfer or withdrawal pursuant to the Servicing Agreements for the following purposes, not in any order of priority:

(i)

to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer for any Advance of its own funds, the right of the Master Servicer or a Servicer to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) being limited to amounts received on a particular Loan (including, for this purpose, the Purchase Price therefor, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late payments or recoveries of the principal of or interest on such Loan respecting which such Advance was made;

(ii)

to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds relating to a particular Loan for amounts expended by the Master Servicer or such Servicer in good faith in connection with the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property which was damaged by an Uninsured Cause or in connection with the liquidation of such Loan;

(iii)

to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer from Insurance Proceeds relating to a particular Loan for insured expenses incurred with respect to such Loan and to reimburse the Master Servicer or such Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds from a particular Loan for Liquidation Expenses incurred with respect to such Loan;

(iv)

to pay the Master Servicer or any Servicer, as appropriate, from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds received in connection with the liquidation of any Loan, the amount which it or such Servicer would have been entitled to receive under subclause (vii) of this Subsection (a) as servicing compensation on account of each defaulted scheduled payment on such Loan if paid in a timely manner by the related Mortgagor;

(v)

to pay the Master Servicer or any Servicer from the Purchase Price for any Loan, the amount which it or such Servicer would have been entitled to receive under subclause (vii) of this Subsection (a) as servicing compensation;

(vi)

to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance, after a Realized Loss has been allocated with respect to the related Loan if the Advance or Servicing Advance has not been reimbursed pursuant to clause (i);

(vii)

to pay the Master Servicing Compensation to the Master Servicer, the Servicing Fee to the Servicers (to the extent such Servicing Fee was not retained by a Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement), the Credit Risk Management Fee to the Credit Risk Manager for such Distribution Date and to reimburse the Master Servicer for premiums payable in connection with any lender paid mortgage insurance and for expenses, costs and liabilities incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Sections 3.3, 6.3, 8.5 and 10.1.

(viii)

to reimburse or pay any Servicer any such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to the Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement;

(ix)

to reimburse the Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator for expenses, costs and liabilities, if any, incurred by or reimbursable to such parties pursuant to this Agreement and the Custodial Agreements;

(x)

to remove amounts deposited in error; and

(xi)

to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.1.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Loan by Loan basis, for the purpose of accounting for any reimbursement from the Distribution Account pursuant to subclauses (i) through (v), inclusive, or with respect to any such amounts which would have been covered by such subclauses had the amounts not been retained by the Master Servicer without being deposited in the Distribution Account under Section 3.23(b).

(c)

On each Distribution Date, prior to making any distribution pursuant to Section 4.1, the Securities Administrator shall, sequentially, (i) withdraw the aggregate Class CE-2 Excess Servicing Fee from the Distribution Account and distribute such amount to the holders of the Class CE-2 Certificates and (ii) withdraw the aggregate Class CE-3 Excess Servicing Fee from the Distribution Account and distribute such amount to the holders of the Class CE-3 Certificates.

(d)

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Available Distribution Amount to the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.1.

Section 3.25

Reserve Fund.

(a)

No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Reserve Fund, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, in trust for the registered holders of Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2007-OA4, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates”.

(b)

On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Class M Certificates, the Securities Administrator will deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section 4.1(a)(iii)(g), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.1(a)(iv).

(c)

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE-1 Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by the Master REMIC to the Holders of the Class CE-1 Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Class M Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders or their designees. The Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Class M Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

(d)

By accepting a Class CE-1 Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder hereby agrees that the Securities Administrator will deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE-1 Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder further agrees that its agreement to such action by the Securities Administrator is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

(e)

The Securities Administrator, as directed by the majority Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates, shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE-1 Certificates fail to provide investment instructions, funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested by the Securities Administrator without liability for interest or compensation. All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund. In no event shall the Securities Administrator be liable for any investments made pursuant to this clause (e).

Prepayment Penalty Verification.

On or prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, each Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the respective Servicing Agreement, provide in an electronic format acceptable to the Master Servicer the data necessary for the Master Servicer to perform its verification duties agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The Master Servicer or a third party reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Depositor (the “Verification Agent”) will perform such verification duties and will use its best efforts to issue its findings in a report (the “Verification Report”) delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days following the related Distribution Date; provided, however, that if the Verification Agent is unable to issue the Verification Report within ten (10) Business Days following the Distribution Date, the Verification Agent may issue and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor the Verification Report upon the completion of its verification duties. The Master Servicer shall forward the Verification Report to the respective Servicer and shall notify such Servicer if the Master Servicer has determined that such Servicer did not deliver the appropriate Prepayment Charges to the Master Servicer in accordance with the respective Servicing Agreement. Such written notification from the Master Servicer shall include the loan number, prepayment penalty code and prepayment penalty amount as calculated by the Master Servicer or the Verification Agent, as applicable, of each Loan for which there is a discrepancy. If the respective Servicer agrees with the verified amounts, such Servicer shall adjust the immediately succeeding Remittance Report and the amount remitted to the Master Servicer with respect to prepayments accordingly. If the respective Servicer disagrees with the determination of the Master Servicer, such Servicer shall, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Verification Report, notify the Master Servicer of such disagreement and provide the Master Servicer with detailed information to support such Servicer’s position. The respective Servicer and the Master Servicer shall cooperate to resolve any discrepancy on or prior to the immediately succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, and such Servicer will indicate the effect of such resolution on the related Remittance Report and shall adjust the amount remitted with respect to prepayments on such Servicer Remittance Date accordingly.

During such time as the respective Servicer and the Master Servicer are resolving discrepancies with respect to the Prepayment Charges, no payments in respect of any disputed Prepayment Charges will be remitted to the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to remit such payments, unless otherwise required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof. In connection with such duties, the Master Servicer shall be able to rely solely on the information provided to it by the respective Servicer in accordance with this Section. The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for verifying the accuracy of any of the information provided to it by the respective Servicer or for performing the Master Servicer’s duties under this Section 3.28 with respect to a Servicer if such Servicer is unable or unwilling to provide the required data to the Master Servicer or is not required to provide such information to the Master Servicer.

Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it (1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days. The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator, with respect to each Form 10-K, to check "yes" for each item unless the Securities Administrator has received timely prior written notice from the Depositor that the answer should be "no" for an item. The Depositor hereby represents to the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing, no later than March 15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to the questions should be “no” as a result of filings that relate to other securitization transactions of the Depositor for which the Securities Administrator does not have the obligation to prepare and file Exchange Act reports. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report.

Each of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such party, respectively, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, respectively, and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, loses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (a) any breach by such party of any if its obligations hereunder, including particularly its obligations to provide any Assessment of Compliance, Attestation Report, Compliance Statement or any information, data or materials required to be included in any 1934 Act report, (b) any material misstatement or omission in any information, data or materials provided by such party (or, in the case of the Securities Administrator or Master Servicer, any material misstatement or material omission in (i) any Compliance Statement, Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report delivered by it, or by any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it, pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure), (c) any claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or (d) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such indemnifying party in connection with its performance hereunder. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, as the case may be, then each such party agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, as applicable, as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the other. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, this Section 3.30 may be amended without the consent of the Certificateholders.

Section 3.32

Special Servicing.

Upon any Loan becoming ninety (90) days or more delinquent, the Majority Class CE-1 Certificateholder shall have the option to transfer servicing with respect to such delinquent Loan to a Special Servicer. Immediately upon the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer with respect to any Loan, the Special Servicer shall service such Loan in accordance with (i) all provisions of this Agreement which were applicable to the former Servicer prior to such transfer of servicing and (ii) any Special Servicer Agreement. Upon the exercise of such option and with respect to Loans that currently or subsequently become ninety (90) days or more delinquent, servicing on such Loans will transfer to the Special Servicer, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer and Credit Risk Manager, without any further action by the Majority Class CE-1 Certificateholder. Any Special Servicer Agreement shall be acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies and will not modify any material terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to, increasing the Servicing Fee payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement. If any Loan is serviced by the Special Servicer and subsequently becomes less than ninety (90) days delinquent, such Loan shall be serviced by the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement exclusively, without regard to any Special Servicer Agreement. Upon the appointment of the Special Servicer, all provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and enforceable against the Special Servicer as if such Special Servicer were an original signatory and party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the transfer of servicing with respect to any such Loan to the Special Servicer, the former Servicer (or any successor thereto other than the Special Servicer) shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to such Loan. Any costs and expenses of the Master Servicer in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of any Special Servicer Agreement and the transfer of servicing to a Special Servicer shall be an expense of the Majority Class CE-1 Certificateholder (or, if the Majority Class CE-1 Certificateholder fails to make prompt reimbursement, then from amounts due to the Class CE-1 Certificates under this Agreement). In the event that a Special Servicer is appointed under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled with respect to such Special Servicer and its related Special Servicer Agreement, to all the benefits, rights, indemnities and limitations on liability accorded to them under this Agreement in respect of the Servicer.

Section 3.33

Purchase of Delinquent Loans.

Upon a Loan becoming ninety (90) days or more delinquent, the Servicer (or any successor thereto other than the Special Servicer) may be terminated as Servicer with respect to that Loan at the sole option of the Majority Class CE-1 Certificateholder and all servicing rights and responsibilities, with respect to such Loan, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer, will transfer to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.31. If the Majority Class CE-1 Certificateholder does not exercise such option with respect to any such Loan and has not exercised such option previously, within ninety (90) days following the date on which such Loan became 90 days delinquent, the Servicer shall have the right to purchase such Loan from REMIC I at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however that prior to such purchase the Servicer shall have (i) determined in good faith that such Loan would otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings and (ii) provided evidence of such determination in writing to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer and the Trustee. The Purchase Price for any Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Loan released pursuant hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, once the Majority Class CE-1 Certificateholder exercises its rights under Section 3.31, the Servicer will no longer have the right to purchase any Loans that become ninety (90) days or more delinquent.

Whenever, on the basis of Curtailments, Payoffs and Monthly Payments on the Loans and Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received and expected to be received during the applicable Prepayment Period, the Securities Administrator believes that the entire remaining unpaid Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall become distributable on the next Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall, as early as practicable prior to the Determination Date of the month of such Distribution Date, mail or cause to be mailed to each Person in whose name a Certificate to be so retired is registered at the close of business on the Record Date, to the Underwriter, and to each Rating Agency a notice to the effect that: (i) it is expected that funds sufficient to make such final distribution shall be available in the Distribution Account on such Distribution Date, and (ii) if such funds are available, (A) such final distribution shall be payable on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose (the address of which shall be set forth in such notice), and (B) no interest shall accrue on such Certificate after such Distribution Date.

Section 4.2

Allocation of Realized Losses.

Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, based solely on the information provided by the related Servicer, shall determine the amount of Realized Losses, if any, with respect to each Loan.

Realized Losses on the Loans for any Distribution Date will first, cause a reduction in Net Monthly Excess Cash Flow for that Distribution Date, second, reduce any available Floor Payments from the Floor Provider and any available Net Certificate Swap Provider Payments from the Certificate Swap Provider for that Distribution Date, and third cause a reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE-1 Certificates for that Distribution Date, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. To the extent that Realized Losses on a Distribution Date cause the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, Class M and Class P Certificates, after taking into account all distributions on such Distribution Date, to exceed the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period, such excess will be allocated first, sequentially, to the Class M-11, Class M-10, Class M-9, Class M-8, Class M-7, Class M-6, Class M-5, Class M-4, Class M-3, Class M-2 and Class M-1 Certificates, in that order, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero, and second, (x) with respect to Realized Losses on Group I Loans, first, to the Class I-A-3 Component, until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Component is reduced to zero, second, concurrently, to the Class I-A-2A and Class I-A-2B Components, pro rata based on Certificate Principal Balance, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Component is reduced to zero, and third, concurrently, to the Class I-A-1A and Class I-A-1B Certificates, pro rata based on Certificate Principal Balance, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero, (y) with respect to Realized Losses on Group II Loans, sequentially, to the Class II-A-2 and Class II-A-1 Certificates, in that order, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; and (z) with respect to Realized Losses on Group III Loans, first, to the Class III-A-3 Component, until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Component is reduced to zero, second, concurrently, to the Class III-A-2A and Class III-A-2B Components, pro rata based on Certificate Principal Balance, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Component is reduced to zero, and third, to the Class III-A-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero. In addition, to the extent the related Servicer receives Subsequent Recoveries with respect to any defaulted Loan, the amount of the Realized Loss with respect to that defaulted Loan will be reduced to the extent such Subsequent Recoveries are applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date.

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Group I Senior Certificate, Group II Senior Certificate, Group III Senior Certificate or Class M Certificate, or Component, on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated as of such Distribution Date after all distributions on such Distribution Date have been made. Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iii)(h). No allocations of Realized Losses shall be made to the Class P Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class A Certificate or Class M Certificate, or Component, be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (i) allocable to such Class A Certificate or Class M Certificate, or Component, in respect of Realized Losses and (ii) payable as principal to the Holder of such Certificate from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and amounts on deposit in the Certificate Floor Account and the Certificate Swap Account.

As used herein, any allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

Any Subsequent Recoveries collected by the Servicers will be distributed as part of the Available Distribution Amount in accordance with the priorities described under Section 4.1. In addition, the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates that has been reduced by the allocation of a Realized Loss to such Certificate will be increased (a) first, (x) with respect to Subsequent Recoveries on Group I Loans, first, concurrently, to the Class I-A-1A and Class I-A-1B Certificates, pro rata based on Certificate Principal Balance, second, concurrently, to the Class I-A-2A and Class I-A-2B Components, pro rata based on Certificate Principal Balance, and third, to the Class I-A-3 Component, (y) with respect to Subsequent Recoveries on Group II Loans, sequentially, to the Class II-A-1 and Class II-A-2 Certificates, in that order, and (z) with respect to Subsequent Recoveries on Group I Loans, first, to the Class III-A-1 Certificates, second, concurrently, to the Class III-A-2A and Class III-A-2B Components, pro rata based on Certificate Principal Balance, and third, to the Class III-A-3 Component, and (b) second, in order of seniority with respect to the Class M Certificates, by the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries, but only to the extent that such Certificate or Component has not been reimbursed for the amount of such Realized Loss (or a portion thereof) allocated to such Certificate from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow or from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Floor Account and the Certificate Swap Account. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs.

All reductions in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate effected by distributions of principal or allocations of Realized Losses with respect to Loans made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all Holders of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such distribution is noted on such Certificate.

(b)

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust Fund by a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Securities Administrator shall bind the Trust Fund, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Securities Administrator substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Subject to Section 5.3, the Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates, Class CE-2 Certificates and Class CE-3 Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Class CE-1, Class P and Class R Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates but shall be issued in fully registered certificate form.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability to the Trust Fund and shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund for, any cost, liability or expense incurred by them arising from a registration of a Certificate or transfer, pledge sale or other disposition of a Certificate in reliance upon a certification, Officer’s Certificate, affidavit, ruling or Opinion of Counsel described in this Article V.

Certificates shall be issued in Authorized Denominations.

Section 5.3

Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to the foregoing paragraph for certificate transfer and surrender purposes, and, in the case of the Class CE-1 Certificates, the Class P Certificates or the Class R Certificates, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.3(d), (e) and (f) below, as applicable, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates in Authorized Denominations and the same aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(b)

Except as provided herein, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and either the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.

All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c)

If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option, with the consent of the Securities Administrator, elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 66% advise the Securities Administrator and Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall notify all Holders of Book-Entry Certificates of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall, at the Depositor’s expense, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, or the Master Servicer’s expense, in the case of (iii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(d)

No Transfer of a Class CE-1 Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the 1933 Act and such state securities laws. In the event of any such transfer in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or and the NIMS Insurer, if any. Each Holder of a Class CE-1 Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, against any liability that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(e)

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received in accordance with Exhibit C or Exhibit O as applicable, either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan or a Person acquiring such ERISA-Restricted Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such Plan, (a “Benefit Plan Investor”), which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, if the purchaser is an insurance company and the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Benefit Plan Investor without a representation as required above, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer, if any, to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of such parties. In the event the representations referred to in the preceding sentence are not furnished, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by any beneficial owner who purchases an interest in such Certificate in book-entry form. In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a Benefit Plan Investor is attempted without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of such Certificate shall be void and of no effect.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the Class I-A-1B Swap Agreement, the Class A-2A Swap Agreement, the Floor Agreement and the Certificate Swap Agreement, as applicable, shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit O, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) prior to the termination of the Class I-A-1B Swap Agreement, the Class A-2A Swap Agreement, the Floor Agreement and the Certificate Swap Agreement, as applicable, the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 95-60 or PTCE 96-23, the statutory exemption in the non-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or some other applicable statutory or administrative exemption. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in this paragraph.

If any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.3(e) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(f)

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

(i)

Each such Transferee shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(ii)

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

(iii)

In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

(A)

an affidavit in the form of Exhibit C hereto from the proposed Transferee to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

(B)

a covenant of the proposed Transferee to the effect that the proposed Transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Class R Certificates.

(iv)

Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported Transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Securities Administrator received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class R Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be distributed and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(v)

If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Class R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities Administrator to the previous Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Securities Administrator determines that the Holder of such Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Securities Administrator and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi)

If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of Class R interests to Disqualified Organizations.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Securities Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC. The Holder of the Class R Certificate issued hereunder, while not a Disqualified Organization, is the Tax Matters Person.

(g)

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

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the Securities Administrator and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

Section 5.4

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or (ii) the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and the Trustee and NIMS Insurer, as applicable, shall deliver notice thereof to the Securities Administrator, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.5

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, or the NIMS Insurer, if any, or any agent of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, 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, that the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).

Section 6.3

Indemnification; Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator and Others.

(a)

The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the NIMS Insurer, if any, for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on its part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates (i) related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action, the Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after the Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof. The Master Servicer’s failure to receive any such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification of the NIMS Insurer, if any, under this Section 6.3(a), except to the extent the Master Servicer is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer and the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.3(a), “Indemnified Persons” means each of the NIMS Insurer, if any, and its respective officers, directors, agents and employees.

(b)

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers, and the NIMS Insurer, if any, or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers or the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreements, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers or the NIMS Insurer, if any or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein or in the Servicing Agreements, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers or the NIMS Insurer, if any pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under the Servicing Agreements. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers or the NIMS Insurer, if any, may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder or under the Servicing Agreements. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the Custodians and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Custodians, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any Servicing Agreement, or any loss, liability or expense incurred by any of such Persons other than by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, any Custodian, any Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement, the related Custodial Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Custodians, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Custodians, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Distribution Account as and to the extent provided in Article III, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Distribution Account.

Section 6.4

Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.

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

Section 6.5

Assignment of Master Servicing.

The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any; and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, an officer’s certificate and an Opinion of Independent counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

Section 6.6

Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer in respect of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, the most recent financial statements of its parent and such other information relating to the Master Servicer’s capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it possesses. To the extent the Depositor, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, are informed that such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the NIMS Insurer, if any, and in any case, the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 6.7

Duties of the Credit Risk Manager

For and on behalf of the Depositor, pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect to the Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the related Servicer and/or Master Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) relating to the servicing of the related Loans. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof to the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, each Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurer, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager.

Section 6.8

Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.

Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by a Servicer under a Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith in its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by a Servicer pursuant to a Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.

Section 6.9

Removal of the Credit Risk Manager.

The Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager with the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, by Certificateholders evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Classes of Certificates, in the exercise of its or their sole discretion. The Certificateholders shall provide written notice of the Credit Risk Manager’s removal to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any.

(i)

[Reserved];

(ii)

any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.5, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights; or

(iii)

a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

(iv)

the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v)

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

(vi)

(vii)

failure by the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 3.16, 3.17 or 3.18 of this Agreement.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (ii) through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of (a) the NIMS Insurer, if any, or (b) the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) in its capacity as Master Servicer (and in its capacity as Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4, if a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, promptly terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement (and in its capacity as Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.1, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.

Section 7.2

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) in its capacity as Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.3 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.23(c)), including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make Advances no later than each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.4; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Trustee determines that such advance would constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.4; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.1 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder and neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated master servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Loans, investment earnings on the Distribution Account and all other remuneration to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to the immediately following paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans or if the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 51% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates so request in writing promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee’s obligation to act as successor securities administrator pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall extend only to the responsibilities of the Securities Administrator set forth in Article 4.

No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. The transition costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the replacement of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) shall be reimbursed out of the Trust.

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

Section 7.3

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)

Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.1 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.2 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b)

Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the NIMS Insurer, if any, and all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.4

Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.

With the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Holders evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (vi) of Section 7.1 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Interest Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE VIII

During the continuance of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the Securities Administrator shall provide notice to the Trustee thereof and the Trustee shall provide notice to the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Certificateholders.

No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i)

Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% (or such other percentage set forth in this Agreement) of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under this Agreement.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

(viii)

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(ix)

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default relating to a Servicer or Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Certificates and this Agreement;

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII.

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

(b)

The Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase all of the Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may elect to purchase all of the Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans and the fair market value of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

(c)

Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, if any, mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment in respect of REMIC I Regular Interests or the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of REMIC I Regular Interests or Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator.

The Securities Administrator shall remit (a) to the Master Servicer from such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Master Servicer notifies it in writing that the Master Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.24 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Securities Administrator to the Master Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and notified by the Master Servicer in writing and (b) to the Servicers, any amounts reimbursable to the Servicers pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 9.1(d) below.

(d)

Upon presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.1 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall pay to the Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Securities Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.1. Any such amounts held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be held in an Eligible Account and the Securities Administrator may direct any depository institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one or more Eligible Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall deposit in such account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Eligible Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon the realization of such loss.

Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

To the extent in the control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, each such Person (i) shall take such action and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (A) endanger the status of each REMIC as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless such action or inaction is permitted under this Agreement or the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to them (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor (iii) shall the Securities Administrator take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and the Securities Administrator shall not take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel (and conclusively rely upon the advice of such counsel) to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee.

(g)

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or under this Article X, or (iv) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h)

The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i)

Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC other than in connection with any Substitute Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.3 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

(j)

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(k)

The Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC. In connection with the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain information required to be reported to the holders of Regular Interests in each REMIC as required by IRS Form 8811.

(l)

The Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE-1, Class CE-2, Class CE-3 and Class R Certificates) (the “Component Certificates”) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class CE-1 Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract all beneficial owners of Component Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class CE-1 Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Interest Accrual Period at the Pass-Through Rate for a Class, computed by substituting “REMIC Maximum Rate” for the applicable “Net WAC Pass-Through Rate” in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued for the related Interest Accrual Period based on the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Component Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class CE-1 Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the beneficial owners of the Component Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P, Class CE-2, Class CE-3 and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts of $10,000 as of the Closing Date.

Section 10.2

Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Substitute Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.3), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Section 10.3

Indemnification.

(a)

The Trustee agrees to be liable for any taxes and costs incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, as a result of the Trustee’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in this Article X in accordance with the standard of care of the Trustee set forth in this Agreement.

(b)

The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee, or the NIMS Insurer, if any, as a result of the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in Article III in accordance with the standard of care of the Master Servicer set forth in this Agreement.

(c)

The Securities Administrator agrees to be liable for any taxes and costs incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, as a result of the Securities Administrator’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in this Article X in accordance with the standard of care of the Securities Administrator set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.1

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time, by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, and without the consent of any of Certificateholders or the Certificate Swap Provider, (a) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, (b) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of each REMIC created hereby as a REMIC at all times that any Certificates are outstanding, (c) to ensure compliance with Regulation AB, (d) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder, or (e) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee ((i) with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, (ii) with the consent of the Class I-A-1B Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class I-A-1B Swap Agreement, (iii) with the consent of the Class A-2A Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class A-2A Swap Agreement and (iv) with the consent of the Certificate Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap Agreement) with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner, other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 12.1, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement required in connection with the compliance with or the clarification of any reporting obligations described in Section 3.30 hereof shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder and without the need for any Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it and the NIMS Insurer, if any, to the effect that such amendment will not cause any REMIC formed hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

As soon as practicable after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer, if any, and each Rating Agency.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders under this Section 11.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall each be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it stating that (i) the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and (ii) all conditions precedent to the execution of such amendment by the Trustee have been satisfied. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

Section 11.2

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement (or an abstract hereof, if acceptable by the applicable recording office) is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Depositor at the expense of the Certificateholders, but only after the Depositor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

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

Section 11.3

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

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

No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless all of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust Fund shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.3, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 11.8

Article and Section References.

All article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.

Section 11.9

Grant of Security Interest.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, be, and be construed as, a sale of the Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Loans to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in the Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.1 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Section 11.10

Third Party Rights.

The NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Mortgage Loans and related assets sold by ACE Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”). This Certificate is primarily backed by the Mortgage Loans sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Xxxxxxx Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25^th day of each month or, if such 25^th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25^th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class [I][II][III]-A- [1A][1B][1][2][2A][2B][3][4] Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class [I][II][III]-A- [1A][1B][1][2][2A][2B][3][4] Certificates or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

[[The Pass-Through Rate with respect to Class [I][II][III]-A- [1A][1B][1][2][2A][2B][3][4] Certificates for each Distribution Date through and including the Optional Termination Date will be the lesser of (i) One-Month LIBOR plus the applicable margin set forth in the Agreement for such Class and (ii) the related Net WAC Pass-Through Rate; provided, however, that the margins applicable to each of the Class [I][II][III]-A- [1A][1B][1][2][2A][2B][3][4] Certificates will increase by 100% on the Distribution Date following the first possible Optional Termination Date with respect to the Loans.]]

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof. The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the related Mortgage Loans and payments received pursuant to the Floor Agreement [, the Class I-A-1B Swap Agreement][, the Class A-2A Swap Agreement] and the Certificate Swap Agreement, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Protected Accounts and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates (with the consent of the Floor Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Floor Agreement, with the consent of the Class I-A-1B Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class I-A-1B Swap Agreement, with the consent of the Class A-2A Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Class A-2A Swap Agreement and with the consent of the Certificate Swap Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap Agreement). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and the amount on deposit into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class CE-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class CE-1 Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event of any such transfer in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and certain other assets of the Trust Fund, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Protected Accounts and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans, as applicable, and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and the amount on deposit into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25^th day of each month or, if such 25^th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25^th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class R Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and payments received pursuant to the Cap Agreement, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Protected Accounts and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Securities Administrator of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.3(e) of the Agreement.

Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Securities Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as representing the beneficial ownership of the residual interests in each REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.3(e) of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion of the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of (A) all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans, as applicable, and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and the amount on deposit into the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.

ANNEX 1 TO EXHIBIT F

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A

[For Transferees Other Than Registered Investment Companies]

The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor] (the “Transferor”) and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Securities Administrator, with respect to the mortgage backed pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”) described in the Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:

As indicated below, the undersigned is the President, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President or other executive officer of the entity purchasing the Certificates (the “Transferee”).

In connection with purchases by the Transferee, the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144A”) because (i) the Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $________________¹ in securities (except for the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the Transferee satisfies the criteria in the category marked below.

___

Corporation, etc. The Transferee is a corporation (other than a bank, savings and loan association or similar institution), Massachusetts or similar business trust, partnership, or any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

___

Bank. The Transferee (a) is a national bank or banking institution organized under the laws of any State, territory or the District of Columbia, the business of which is substantially confined to banking and is supervised by the State or territorial banking commission or similar official or is a foreign bank or equivalent institution, and (b) has an audited net worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto.

___

Savings and Loan. The Transferee (a) is a savings and loan association, building and loan association, cooperative bank, homestead association or similar institution, which is supervised and examined by a State or Federal authority having supervision over any such institutions or is a foreign savings and loan association or equivalent institution and (b) has an audited net worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto.

___

Broker-dealer. The Transferee is a dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

___

Insurance Company. The Transferee is an insurance company whose primary and predominant business activity is the writing of insurance or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance companies and which is subject to supervision by the insurance commissioner or a similar official or agency of a State, territory or the District of Columbia.

___

State or Local Plan. The Transferee is a plan established and maintained by a State, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of the State or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees.

___

ERISA Plan. The Transferee is an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

___

Investment Advisor The Transferee is an investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iv) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (v) loan participations, (vi) repurchase agreements, (vii) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (viii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.


___	___	Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates
Yes	No	only for the Transferee’s own account?

If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, the Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.

The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.
