give a direction consistent with such determination. All reasonable expenses
and fees (including attorney's fees) of the Custodian incurred as a result of
such proceedings shall be borne by the Trust.

the Custodian to release to each Servicer and the Master Servicer, within
three (3) business days of receipt of either (i) a written request and receipt
of the related Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5(a) (a
"Request for Release") executed by one of the authorized signatories set forth

such written request from the related Servicer or Master Servicer. A list of
authorized signatures for such written requests has been furnished to the

Mortgage Files so released to the Master Servicer or a Servicer shall be held
by the related Servicer or Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee in accordance with the terms of the related Sale and Servicing

6
computer hardware and software staff, and arranged in a record layout to be
specified by the Custodian and agreed to with the related Servicer or Master
Servicer (a "Paperless Release Request"). The Master Servicer and each

Servicer and each Servicer also agrees to maintain accurate records of

and each Servicer hereby authorizes the Custodian to automatically append the
electronic signature of an Authorized Representative to the applicable request

Authorized Representatives electronic signature, the Custodian shall be
entitled to rely thereon. For purposes of this Agreement the term "electronic
signature" is defined as an "electronic identifier intended by the person
using it to have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature."
The Master Servicer and each Servicer agrees in advance to comply
with all Custodian data encryption, security and record layout standards in
connection with any Paperless Release Request as may be amended from time to
time upon notice from the Custodian to the related Servicer or Master
Servicer. The Custodian reserves the right to restrict or suspend the Master
Servicer's and each Servicer's access to the Custodian's computer systems for

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer and each
Servicer is authorized to transmit and the Custodian is authorized to accept
signed facsimile copies of Requests for Release.

shall permit the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee
and their respective agents, and the servicing officers of each Servicer, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee the reasonable
access to its premises during the Custodian's normal business hours to inspect
the Custodian's Mortgage Files and all other documents, records and other
papers in possession or under the control of the Custodian relating to the
Mortgage Loans (or, in the case of the Servicers, the Mortgage Loans serviced
by such Servicer). Each such person shall comply with the Custodian's
reasonable standards and procedures for physical security and personal
7
conduct while on the Custodian's premises. Any person failing, in the
Custodian's sole but reasonable business judgment, to meet such standards may
be removed or denied access to the premises. The party hereto requesting such
examination shall be responsible for any reasonable expense in connection with
such examination; provided, however, that if such requesting party is the
Trustee, such expense shall be borne by the Trust.
Section 12. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator, with or
without cause, or upon failure by the Custodian to perform or observe any term
of this Agreement, may remove and discharge the Custodian or any successor
Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this
Agreement upon written notice from the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, to the Custodian or the successor Custodian;
provided that at least sixty (60) days prior written notice shall be given
with respect to a removal or discharge without cause. Having given notice of
such removal, the removing party shall promptly appoint a successor Custodian
to act on its behalf by written instrument, an original counterpart of which
instrument shall be delivered to each Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee and one copy to the successor
Custodian. In the event of any such removal, the Custodian shall promptly
transfer, to the successor Custodian or a subsequent purchaser, as directed,
the Custodian's Mortgage Files being administered under this Agreement. Such
transfer shall be at the Custodian's expense only if the Custodian is
discharged and removed upon a failure by the Custodian to perform or observe
any material terms of this Agreement; otherwise such transfer shall occur at
the expense of the removing party; provided, however, that if such requesting
party is the Trustee, such expense shall be borne by the Trust. In any event,
the Custodian shall be entitled to payment of all outstanding fees and
expenses of the Custodian due the Custodian at the time of such removal by the
removing party. In the event that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
removes the Custodian without cause, any transfer or set up fees payable to
the successor Custodian will be payable by the removing party; provided,
however, that if such requesting party is the Trustee, such expense shall be
borne by the Trust. In any event, the ongoing fees of any successor Custodian,
as mutually agreed in a separate letter agreement between such successor and
the Securities Administrator, shall be paid by the Securities Administrator.
Section 13. The following fees and expenses of the Custodian are
the sole obligation of the Securities Administrator:

agreement between the Purchaser and the Custodian dated January 1, 2006.
Section 14. The Custodian shall, at its own expense, maintain at
all times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full force and
effect, (a) fidelity insurance, (b) errors and omissions insurance and (c) all
risk property insurance. All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard
coverage and subject to deductibles, all as is customary for insurance
typically maintained by banks which act as custodian and in an amount and with
coverages not
8
less than that required by Xxxxxx Mae. Upon request, the Trustee will be
provided with certificates of insurance, as specified in this paragraph 14.
Section 15. The Custodian may resign as the Custodian hereunder
upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Purchaser, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, each Servicer and the Trustee
whereupon the Custodian shall deliver the Custodian's Mortgage Files to the
Trustee, or a designee of the Trustee, in accordance with directions from the
Trustee. In the event of such resignation, the Securities Administrator shall
pay all outstanding fees (other than expenses directly incurred as a result of
the Custodian's resignation) of the Custodian and shall, with the consent of
the Trustee, appoint a successor Custodian. Upon such appointment, the
Securities Administrator shall promptly deliver a written notification of the
successor Custodian to each Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Purchaser.
Section 16. For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this
Custodial 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 and be one and the same instrument.
Section 17. Upon the request of the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, each Servicer or the Trustee, at any time, the
Custodian shall provide to such party a list of all the Mortgage Loans owned
by the Trustee for which the Custodian holds a Custodian's Mortgage File
pursuant to this Agreement. Such list may be in the form of a copy of the
applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule with manual deletions to specifically denote
any Mortgage Loans paid off, repurchased or liquidated since the date of this
Agreement.
Section 18. The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only
be such as are expressly set forth in this Agreement or as set forth in a
written amendment to this Agreement executed by the parties hereto or their
successors and assigns. In no event shall the Custodian, its officers,
directors, employees, agents or other representatives be liable for special,
indirect or consequential damages, even if advised of this possibility of the
same.
Section 19. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally
delivered, delivered by facsimile or mailed by first class mail or overnight
express mail, postage prepaid, to the parties to this agreement at the address
listed on Exhibit 2 or such other address as may hereafter be furnished in
writing to each of the parties to this Agreement. Any such demand, notice or
communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date
received, if received prior to 4 p.m. standard eastern time, delivered to or
received at the premises of the addressee or received at the facsimile number
of the address, or, if received after 4 p.m. standard eastern time, then on
the next business day.
Section 20. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of
the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
9
Section 21. The Custodian shall have no duties or obligation
except those expressly stated in this Agreement, and such duties or
obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement. The Custodian, its officers, directors, employees, agents or other
representatives shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon the Custodian by this
Agreement or in reliance upon any written notice, request, consent,
certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper
party or parties; provided, however, that the provision of this paragraph
shall not be construed to relieve the Custodian from liability from its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own bad faith or
willful misconduct or any breach by the Custodian of any of its obligations
hereunder, which breach was due to negligence on the part of the Custodian.
The Custodian will be regarded as making no representations and having no
responsibilities (except as expressly set forth herein) as to the validity,
sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of any Mortgage
Loan, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to
the validity, value or genuineness of any Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall
not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment
involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with reasonable
indemnity. The Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting in good
faith upon the written instructions of the Purchaser, each Servicer, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and such
employees and representatives of the Purchaser, each Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as each such party may
hereinafter designate in writing. The Custodian may execute any of the powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through agents or
attorneys, provided, however, that the execution of such powers by any such
agents or attorneys shall not diminish or relieve the Custodian for
responsibility therefor to the same degree as if the Custodian itself had
executed such powers.
Section 22. The Custodian shall be entitled to obtain the advice
or opinion of counsel (which shall be either in house counsel or a nationally
recognized outside counsel) with respect to a matter of law for which the
Custodian has a reasonable question as to the rights and duties relating to
the Custodian hereunder and the Custodian shall have no liability for any
action taken or omitted in conformity with its good faith reliance on such
advice or opinion; provided, however, that the provision of this paragraph
shall not relieve the Custodian from liability from its own negligent
selection of counsel.
Section 23. This Agreement (together with the separate fee
agreement between the Securities Administrator and the Custodian) contains the
entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
may be amended only by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.
Section 24. [Reserved]
Section 25. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the
Custodian, its directors, officers, agents, employees, and other
representatives harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way arising out of this
Agreement as a result of any act or failure to act,
10
so long as such act or failure to act by it or them hereunder does not
constitute bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian or any
of its agents, officers, directors or employees or breach by the Custodian of
its obligations hereunder. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
Section 26. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
Section 27. Each party agrees to keep confidential the existence
of this Agreement, the identity of the parties hereto, and any other term or
condition of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and to
use such information solely in order to effectuate the purpose of the
Agreement, provided that each party may provide confidential information to
its employees, agents and affiliates who have a need to know such information
in order to effectuate the transaction, and provided, further that such
information is identified as confidential non public information; provided,
however, that the Trustee may disclose such information to its attorneys,
auditors and agents in order to perform its duties and to any regulatory,
administrative or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Trustee. Except as set forth herein, in the event that either party or any of
its employees, agents or affiliates are requested pursuant to, or required by,
applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any non public
information, such party will notify the other promptly prior to any such
disclosure so that such party may seek a protective order or other appropriate
remedy or, in such party's sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of
this Section 27, except as such notice requirement shall not apply to grand
jury subpoenas or when otherwise prohibited by law. In the event that no such
protective order or other remedy is timely obtained, or that such party waives
compliance with the terms of this Section 27, the party required to disclose
such non public information or its employees, agents or affiliates will
furnish only that portion of the non public information that it is advised by
counsel is legally required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the non public
information.
Section 28. The Custodian (or any successor thereto) shall at all
times (a) be a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision
by federal or state authority, (b) have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $10,000,000, (c) be qualified to do business in any jurisdiction in
which it holds a Custodian's Mortgage File, (d) be qualified to act as a
custodian for Xxxxxx Xxx, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the
Government National Mortgage Association, and (e) not be an affiliate of the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee or a Seller, except insofar as the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee or its respective assignee gives its
prior written consent.
Section 29. Upon the initial sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
Custodian shall deliver to the Purchaser, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer (a) an opinion of counsel and (b) an
officer's certificate, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Purchaser, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master
Servicer.
11
Section 30. The Custodian represents, warrants to, and covenants
that:
(a) The Custodian is (i) a national banking association duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
States and (ii) duly qualified and in good standing and in possession of all
requisite authority, power, licenses, permits and franchises in order to
execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms of this
Agreement;
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the Custodian in the manner contemplated herein
and the performance of and compliance with the terms hereof by it will not
(i) violate, contravene, or create a default under any applicable laws,
licenses, or permits to the best of its knowledge, or (ii) violate,
contravene or create a default under any charter document or bylaw of the
Custodian or to the best of the Custodian's knowledge any contract, agreement
or instrument to which the Custodian or by which any of its property may be
bound and will not result in the creation of any lien, security interest or
other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of its property;
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Custodian
and the performance of and compliance with its obligations and covenants
hereunder do not require the consent or approval of any governmental
authority or, if such consent or approval is required, it has been obtained;
(d) The Custodian has duly executed and delivered this Agreement,
and this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Custodian, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as
the enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable debtor relief laws and
that certain equitable remedies may not be available regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in equity or law; and
(e) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending
or, to the Custodian's knowledge, threatened, against the Custodian, which
seeks to prevent the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby or
which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, if determined
adversely to the Custodian would adversely affect the execution, delivery or
enforceability of this Agreement, the ability of the Custodian to perform its
obligations hereunder, or have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of the Custodian.
Section 31. In the event that the Custodian fails to produce a
Mortgage Note, that was in its possession pursuant to Section 1 within five
(5) Business Days after such Mortgage Note has been or requested by the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the related
Seller, and provided, that (i) Custodian previously delivered to the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer a Custodial Receipt with
respect to such Mortgage Note; (ii) such Mortgage Note is not outstanding
pursuant to a Request for Release; and (iii) such Mortgage Note was held by
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee (a "Custodial Delivery Failure"), then
the Custodian shall, with respect to any missing Mortgage Note,
12
indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the
related Servicer and the related Seller in accordance with the succeeding
paragraph of this Section 31.
The Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer harmless against any and all
direct liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable
attorney's fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it
in connection with or arising out of any Custodial Delivery Failure. The
foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination or assignment of this
Agreement.
Section 32. The Custodian is not responsible for preparing or
filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes
with respect to this Agreement, other than for the Custodian's compensation or
for reimbursement of expenses. The Custodian will be responsible for the
transmission of mortgage files and loan documents, with insurance thereon as
provided in the normal course by the nationally recognized overnight courier
service utilized by the Custodian for such transmission. At the request of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, the Custodian will
obtain and maintain additional insurance with an insurance provider specified
by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, against loss or
damage to such Mortgage Files and loan documents in connection with such
transmission in an amount specified by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable. The costs and expenses incurred in connection
with obtaining and maintaining such insurance shall be the sole responsibility
of the Trustee or Securities Administrator, which made such request; provided,
however, that if such request was made by the Trustee, any such costs shall be
borne by the Trust. It is expressly agreed that in no event shall the
Custodian have any liability for any losses or damages to any person,
including, without limitation, the Purchaser, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee or a Servicer, arising out of actions of
the Custodian consistent with this Agreement. In the absence of any written
instructions from the Purchaser with respect to the transmission of the
Custodian's Mortgage Files, the parties hereby agree that the Custodian may
utilize any nationally recognized overnight courier service and shall be
entitled to reimbursement from the Securities Administrator.
Section 33. The Purchaser and the Custodian further agree as
follows:
33.01: Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this
Section 33 is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser with the provisions of
Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The
Purchaser shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or
other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for
purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that interpretations of
the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to
interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among
participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or
otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Purchaser
in good faith for delivery of information within the scope of the Custodian's
ordinary course of business under these provisions on the basis of evolving
interpretations of Regulation AB, provided, however
13
that if extraordinary measures are required to provide information reasonably
determined by the Custodian to be outside the Custodian's ordinary course of
business, the reasonable costs of such compliance will be borne by the
Purchaser, so long as the Custodian provides prior notice to the Purchaser.
The Custodian shall cooperate reasonably with the Purchaser to deliver to the
Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all
disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other
information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the
Purchaser to permit the Purchaser to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB.
33.02: Additional Representations and Warranties of the Custodian.
(a) The Custodian shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser as
of the date hereof and on each date on which information is provided to the
Purchaser under Section 33.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the
Purchaser prior to such date: (i) the Custodian is in compliance with all of
the requirements set forth in Section 28 hereof; (ii) there are no material
legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated)
against it of the type described in Item 1117 of Regulation AB; and (iii)
there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions of the type described
in Item 1119 of Regulation AB relating to the Custodian with respect to the
Purchaser or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer, trustee, originator,
significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other material
transaction party (as such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the
Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by the
Purchaser to the Custodian in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a
"Transaction Party").
(b) If so requested by the Purchaser, on or before March 15 of
each calendar year and as needed, commencing in 2007, the Custodian shall,
within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the
accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of
this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of
the date of such confirmation, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the
pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party. Any such request from
the Purchaser shall not be given more than once each calendar quarter, unless
the Purchaser shall have a reasonable basis for a determination that any of
the representations and warranties may not be accurate.
33.03: Additional Information to Be Provided by the Custodian.
For so long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting
requirements, for the purpose of satisfying the Depositor's reporting
obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of Certificates,
the Custodian shall (a) notify the Depositor in writing of any material
litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Custodian that
would be material to Certificateholders, and (b) provide to the Depositor a
written description of such proceedings. Any notices and descriptions required
under this Section 33.03 shall be given no later than five Business Days prior
to the Determination Date following the month in which the Custodian has
knowledge of the occurrence of the relevant event.
33.04: Defined Terms: The following terms are used in this Section 33 as
defined below:
14

Determination Date: The 15th day (or, if such 15th day is not a

(Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. ss.ss.229.1100-229.1123, as such may be amended
from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as
have been provided by the Commission in the adopting release (Asset-Backed
Securities, Securities Act Release No. 33-8518, 70 Fed. Reg. 1,506, 1,531
(Jan. 7, 2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by
the Commission or its staff from time to time.
Securities Act: The Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Securitization Transaction. Any transaction involving either (1) a
sale or other transfer of some or all of the Mortgage Loans directly or
indirectly to an issuing entity in connection with an issuance of publicly
offered or privately placed, rated or unrated mortgage-backed securities or
(2) an issuance of publicly offered or privately placed, rated or unrated
securities, the payments on which are determined primarily by reference to one
or more portfolios of residential mortgage loans consisting, in whole or in
part, of some or all of the Mortgage Loans.
Servicing Criteria: The "servicing criteria" set forth in Item
1122(d) of Regulation AB, as such may be amended from time to time.
33.05: Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.
(a) For so long as the Purchaser or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
is filing an annual report on Form 10-K in accordance with the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission, on or before March 15 of each
calendar year, commencing in 2007, the Custodian shall:
(i) deliver to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer a
report regarding the Custodian's assessment of compliance with the
Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year,
as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and
Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an
authorized officer of the Custodian, and shall address each of the
Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in
the form of Exhibit 7 hereto. The Custodian hereby acknowledges
that such report will be relied upon as if it were addressed to
the Purchaser and Master Servicer; and
(ii) deliver to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer a
report of a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and
reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Custodian and
delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation
shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of
Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
15
33.06: Indemnification
(a) The Custodian shall indemnify the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees,
agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing (each, an "Indemnified Party"),
from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other
costs and expenses that such Indemnified Party may sustain arising out of
third party claims based on (i) the failure of the Custodian to deliver any
information required under Subsections 33.02 and 33.03 and items required
under Subsection 33.05 of this Agreement or (ii) any material misstatement or
omission contained in any of the foregoing.
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Custodian agrees
that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by
such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Custodian on
the other.
In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers, agents or
employees be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages
resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under, or
in connection with, this Section 33.
(b) In the case of any failure of performance described in clause
(a) of this Subsection 33.06, the Custodian shall promptly reimburse the
Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the
preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the
Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution
of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the
Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs
reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information,
report, certification, accountants' letter or other material not delivered as
required by the Custodian, any Subservicer, or any Subcontractor.
This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or
the termination of any party to this Agreement.

Agreement by their duly authorized officers as of the date first above

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The assessment of compliance to be delivered by the Custodian shall address,
at a minimum, the criteria identified as below as "Applicable Servicing
Criteria":
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPLICABLE SERVICING
SERVICING CRITERIA CRITERIA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reference Criteria
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Servicing Considerations
----------------------- --------------------------
Policies and procedures are instituted to monitor any performance or other
1122(d)(1)(i) triggers and events of default in accordance with the transaction agreements.
----------------------- --------------------------
If any material servicing activities are outsourced to third parties, policies
and procedures are instituted to monitor the third party's performance and
1122(d)(1)(ii) compliance with such servicing activities.
----------------------- --------------------------
Any requirements in the transaction agreements to maintain a back-up servicer
1122(d)(1)(iii) for the mortgage loans are maintained.
----------------------- --------------------------
A fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy is in effect on the party
participating in the servicing function throughout the reporting period in the
amount of coverage required by and otherwise in accordance with the terms of
1122(d)(1)(iv) the transaction agreements.
----------------------- --------------------------
Cash Collection and Administration
----------------------- --------------------------
Payments on mortgage loans are deposited into the appropriate custodial bank
accounts and related bank clearing accounts no more than two business days
following receipt, or such other number of days specified in the transaction
1122(d)(2)(i) agreements.
----------------------- --------------------------
Disbursements made via wire transfer on behalf of an obligor or to an investor
1122(d)(2)(ii) are made only by authorized personnel.
----------------------- --------------------------
Advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or
distributions, and any interest or other fees charged for such advances, are
1122(d)(2)(iii) made, reviewed and approved as specified in the transaction agreements.
----------------------- --------------------------
The related accounts for the transaction, such as cash reserve accounts or
accounts established as a form of overcollateralization, are separately
maintained (e.g., with respect to commingling of cash) as set forth in the
1122(d)(2)(iv) transaction agreements.
----------------------- --------------------------
Each custodial account is maintained at a federally insured depository
institution as set forth in the transaction agreements. For purposes of this
criterion, "federally insured depository institution" with respect to a
foreign financial institution means a foreign financial institution that meets
1122(d)(2)(v) the requirements of Rule 13k-1(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act.
----------------------- --------------------------
1122(d)(2)(vi) Unissued checks are safeguarded so as to prevent unauthorized access.
----------------------- --------------------------
Reconciliations are prepared on a monthly basis for all asset-backed
securities related bank accounts, including custodial accounts and related
bank clearing accounts. These reconciliations are (A) mathematically accurate;
(B) prepared within 30 calendar days after the bank statement cutoff date, or
such other number of days specified in the transaction agreements; (C)
reviewed and approved by someone other than the person who prepared the
reconciliation; and (D) contain explanations for reconciling items. These
reconciling items are resolved within 90 calendar days of their original
identification, or such other number of days specified in the transaction
1122(d)(2)(vii) agreements.
