The Seller shall, as custodian and bailee for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and the Issuer be entitled to maintain, in accordance with clause (b)(ii) above, possession of the documents and instruments listed in subclauses (A) and (C) through (F) of clause (b)(ii) above and shall not be required to deliver any of them to the Indenture Trustee. In the event, however, that possession of any such documents or instruments that the Seller is permitted to retain pursuant to Section 2.01(b) is required by the Servicer in order to carry out the duties of the Servicer hereunder, then the Servicer shall be entitled to request delivery at the expense of the Seller of such documents or instruments by the Seller and to retain such documents or instruments for servicing purposes; provided that the Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer shall maintain such documents at such offices as may be required by any regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Mortgage Loan.

If the long-term senior unsecured debt rating of the Seller is not rated at least “[___]” by Standard & Poor’s and at least “[___]” by Xxxxx’x, the Seller shall, within 90 days following the occurrence of such event (i) segregate (a) the Mortgage Files from documents and instruments relating to mortgage loans that are not Mortgage Loans and (b) the Mortgage Note from the Related Documents for each Mortgage Loan and shall assemble and maintain the Mortgage Notes together (separate from the Related Documents) and (ii) prepare an Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Section 2.01(b)(ii)(B). The Assignments of Mortgage will be held by the Seller in the same manner, subject to the conditions provided in the immediately preceding paragraph.

The Seller, at its expense shall within 90 days of an Assignment Event submit to the appropriate recording offices Assignments of Mortgage to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which may be blanket assignments if permitted by applicable law, for the Mortgage Loans. In lieu of recording any such Assignments of Mortgage, the Seller, at its expense, may provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, an Opinion of Counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, to the effect that recordation of an Assignment of Mortgage in the state where the related Mortgaged Property is located is not necessary to protect the interests of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Class A Noteholders in the related Mortgage. In the event that any such Assignment of Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller, at its own expense, shall promptly prepare a substitute Assignment of Mortgage or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the Seller shall be required to submit each such Assignment of Mortgage for recording. Any failure of the Seller to comply with this Section shall result in the obligation of the Seller to purchase such Mortgage Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04 or substitute for the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.06.

(c)

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above by the Depositor to the Trust, as provided in this Agreement, be, and be construed as, a sale of all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above by the Depositor to the Trust. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above by the Depositor to the Trust to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, then, (x) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the applicable state; and (y) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trust a security interest in and to all of the Depositor’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:

(I)

(A)

each Mortgage Loan, including (a) the Mortgage File, including the Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage and (b) its Principal Balance, all Additional Balances and all collections in respect thereof received after the Cut-Off Date, identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including all Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans; (B) its rights under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; (C) property that secured a Mortgage Loan that is acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (D) its rights under the insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (E) amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account; (F) all accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, certificated securities and uncertificated securities consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing; and (G) all other assets included or to be included in the Trust for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders and the Insurer; and

(II)

all proceeds of the collateral described in clause (I).

The possession by the Indenture Trustee or its designee, of Mortgage Files, including the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel paper (tangible and electronic) or certificated securities shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by him or her, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC (including, without limitation, Sections 9-313, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction; and notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for, the Indenture Trustee or its designee, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trust shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in taking such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law, and maintaining such throughout the term of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon the Opinion of Counsel delivered to it pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Indenture.

(d)

The Indenture Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders, and the Insurer, within 60 days after the delivery called for Section 2.01(b)(ii), to review the Mortgage Notes in the case of 2.01(b)(ii)(x) and the Related Documents in the case of 2.01(b)(ii)(y) to ascertain that all documents required to be delivered on such delivery date have been executed and received, and that such documents related to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and that the Assignments of Mortgage (if required to be delivered) have been endorsed as set forth in Section 2.01(b)(ii)(B), and in so doing the Indenture Trustee may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any signature thereon. If within the related 60-day period the Indenture Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File required to be reviewed by it not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in said Mortgage Loan Schedule or, if in the course of its review, the Indenture Trustee determines such part of the Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material respect, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Seller, the Depositor and the Insurer in accordance with the second paragraph of this Section 2.01(d), and the Seller shall have a period of 90 days after such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect; provided, however, that if such defect shall not have been corrected or cured within such 90-day period due primarily to the failure of the related office of real property or other records to return any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File, the Seller shall so notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing and the period during which such defect may be corrected or cured shall be extended until such time as any such documents are returned from such related office (in no event, however, will such period extend beyond one (1) year from the date of discovery of such defect); provided, further, that prior to any such extension the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a true copy of such document certified by the Seller to be a true and correct copy, the original of which has been transmitted for recordation.

On or prior to the end of the 60 day period described in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d), the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Seller, the Depositor and the Insurer, an initial certification, and for a period of 90 days thereafter updates every 30 days, in a form acceptable to the Depositor, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that it has reviewed the Mortgage Files pursuant to this Section and has determined that all documents required to be delivered have been executed and received by the Indenture Trustee, subject to any exceptions identified in such certification. Promptly at the end of the 90-day period described in this paragraph, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Seller, the Depositor and the Insurer, a final certification as to any remaining document deficiencies, whereupon the Depositor shall repurchase any related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(b).

(e)

The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage File except as expressly provided in this Section 2.01. In reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Indenture Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, whether any Person executing any document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine, but shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports to be recorded.

Section 2.02

(a)

The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges its receipt of the Insurance Policy and the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, and, subject to the review provided for in Section 2.01, and declares that, when delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.01(b) the Indenture Trustee will hold the documents constituting the Mortgage Files, and that all amounts received by it under the Indenture in trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Class A Noteholders and the Insurer.

(b)

If the Seller is given notice under Section 2.01(d) and if the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within the 90-day period specified in Section 2.01(d), the Seller shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, as provided in Section 2.06, for such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at the Purchase Price and in each case shall be accomplished in the manner set forth in Section 2.04. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase any Mortgage Loan or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such defect or omission available to the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Transferor.

(liv)

Other than the security interest granted by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller; and

(lv)

The Seller has in its possession all original copies of the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser. All financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of the Purchaser in connection herewith describing the Mortgage Loans contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee.”

With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Section that are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer, the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan then, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty and with respect to any breach of such representation or warranty or of any other representation or warranty, the Seller shall cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with this Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall survive the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust and the termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 herein. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, without regard to any limitation set forth therein concerning the knowledge of the Seller as to the facts stated therein, which materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Trust, the Class A Noteholders or the Insurer in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and the Insurer. Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, the Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to cure such breach in all material respects and if such breach is not cured by the end of such 90-day period, the Seller shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan on the Determination Date in the month following the month in which such 90-day period expired at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan or, in the case of a substitution, in accordance with Section 2.06. In connection with any purchase pursuant to this paragraph, such purchase may be made by reducing the Transferor Interest by the lesser of (x) the amount of the Transferor Interest in excess of the Minimum Transferor Interest and (y) the amount specified in clause (i) and (ii) of the definition of Purchase Price and by remitting to the Servicer for deposit to the Collection Account the balance of the Purchase Price as set forth below (any such balance is referred to as the “Transferor Deposit Amount”). In all other cases the Purchase Price and any Substitution Adjustments for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account on the Determination Date immediately following such 90-day period; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Depositor or the Insurer, as applicable, the portion of the amount, if any, of the Purchase Price referred to in clause (iv) of the definition thereof to the extent such amount is incurred by or imposed on the Depositor or the Insurer. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase any Mortgage Loan or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such defect or omission available to the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Transferor.

The Servicer, promptly following the transfer of (i) a Defective Mortgage Loan from or (ii) an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Section and Section 2.06, as the case may be, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule and make appropriate entries in its general account records to reflect such transfer and the addition of any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, if applicable. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such breach available to Class A Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Class A Noteholders and the Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest.

(a) On a Determination Date which is on or before the date on which the Seller would otherwise be required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan under Section 2.02 or 2.04, the Seller may deliver to the Trust one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in substitution for any one or more of the Defective Mortgage Loans which the Seller would otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.04. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall calculate the Substitution Adjustment, if any, and shall deposit such amount to the Collection Account by 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the third Business Day prior to the Payment Date in the month succeeding the calendar month in which the related cure period expired.

(b)

The Seller shall notify the Servicer, the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee in writing not less than five Business Days before the related Determination Date which is on or before the date on which the Seller would otherwise be required to repurchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.04 of its intention to effect a substitution under this Section 2.06. On such Determination Date (the “Substitution Date”), the Seller shall deliver to the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee (1) the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans to be substituted for the Defective Mortgage Loans, (2) a list of the Defective Mortgage Loans to be substituted for by such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, (3) an Officer’s Certificate (A) stating that no Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) stating that all conditions precedent to such substitution specified in subsection (a) have been satisfied and attaching as an exhibit a supplemental Mortgage Loan schedule (the “Supplemental Mortgage Loan Schedule”) setting forth the same type of information as appears on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and representing as to the accuracy thereof and (C) confirming that the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.04 are true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans on and as of such Determination Date, provided that remedies for the inaccuracy of such representations are limited as set forth in Sections 2.02, 2.04 and this Section 2.06 and (4) a certificate stating that cash in the amount of the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, has been deposited to the Collection Account; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Depositor or the Insurer, as applicable, the portion of the amount, if any, of the Substitution Adjustment referred to in clause (d) of the definition thereof to the extent such amount is incurred by or imposed on the Depositor or the Insurer. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trust shall release such Defective Mortgage Loans to the Seller without recourse, representation or warranty.

(c)

Concurrently with the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.06(a) above and the transfer of such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Exhibit A to this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to exclude all Mortgage Loans being replaced by such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans and to include the information set forth on the Supplemental Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, and all references in this Agreement to Mortgage Loans shall include such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans and be deemed to be made on or after the related substitution date, as the case may be, as to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans.

Any amounts received in respect of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans during the Due Period in which the circumstances giving rise to such substitution occur shall not be a part of the Trust and shall not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account.

The terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted to further the intent of the parties hereto. The Seller, the Indenture Trustee and each Class A Noteholder (or Class A Note Owner) by acceptance of its Class A Note (or, in the case of a Class A Note Owner, by virtue of such Class A Note Owner’s acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) agrees to treat the Class A Note (or beneficial interest therein), for purposes of federal, state and local income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate and to report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with such treatment. Each Class A Noteholder agrees that it will cause any Class A Note Owner acquiring an interest in a Class A Note through it to comply with this Agreement as to treatment of the Class A Notes as indebtedness for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes of any other tax imposed on or measured by income.

Section 2.08

Covenants of the Depositor. The Depositor covenants that:

(a)

Except for the transfer under this Agreement, the Depositor will not transfer any Mortgage Loan to any other person, or create or suffer to exist any Lien on any Mortgage Loan or any interest in one, whether existing now or in the future; the Depositor will notify the Indenture Trustee of the existence of any Lien on any Mortgage Loan immediately on its discovery; and the Depositor will defend the right, title, and interest of the Trust in the Mortgage Loans, whether existing now or in the future, against all claims of third parties claiming through the Depositor.

(b)

The Depositor shall not transfer, assign, exchange, pledge, finance, hypothecate or grant a security interest in the Transferor Interest except in accordance with Section 3.13 of the Trust Agreement.

(c)

So long as the Class A Notes are outstanding the Depositor will not incur any debt other than debt that (i) is non-recourse to the assets of the Depositor other than the mortgage loans specifically pledged as security for the debt, or (ii) is subordinated in right of payment to the rights of the Class A Noteholders, or (iii) is assigned a rating by each of the Rating Agencies that is the same as the then current rating of the Class A Notes.

(d)

The Depositor will not engage in any activity that would result in a downgrading of the Class A Notes without regard to the Insurance Policy.

(e)

The Depositor will not amend its certificate of incorporation or by-laws without prior notice to the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee, and the Insurer.

(f)

The Depositor’s principal place of business is in Irving, Texas and it will not change its principal place of business or its jurisdiction of organization without prior notice to the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee, and the Insurer.

Section 2.09

Transfers of Mortgage Loans at Election of Transferor. Subject to the conditions below, the Transferor may require the transfer of Mortgage Loans from the Trust to the Transferor as of the close of business on a Payment Date (the “Transfer Date”). In connection with any transfer, the Transferor Interest shall be reduced by the aggregate Principal Balances as of their Transfer Date of the Mortgage Loans transferred. On the fifth Business Day (the “Transfer Notice Date”) before the Transfer Date designated in the notice, the Transferor shall give the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, and the Insurer a notice of the proposed transfer that contains a list of randomly selected Mortgage Loans to be transferred. These transfers of Mortgage Loans shall be permitted if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)

No Rapid Amortization Event has occurred.

(ii)

On the Transfer Date the Transferor Interest Principal Balance (after giving effect to the removal of the Mortgage Loans proposed to be transferred) exceeds the Minimum Transferor Interest.

(iii)

The transfer of any Mortgage Loans on any Transfer Date during the Managed Amortization Period shall not, in the reasonable belief of the Transferor, cause a Rapid Amortization Event to occur or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a Rapid Amortization Event.

(iv)

By the Transfer Date, the Transferor shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee a revised Mortgage Loan Schedule, reflecting the proposed transfer and the Transfer Date, and the Servicer shall have marked on its general accounting records to show that the Mortgage Loans transferred to the Transferor are no longer owned by the Trust.

(v)

The Transferor shall represent and warrant that no selection procedures reasonably believed by the Transferor to be adverse to the interests of the Class A Noteholders or the Insurer were used in selecting the Mortgage Loans to be removed from the Trust.

(vi)

In connection with each transfer of Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section, each Rating Agency and the Insurer shall have received by the related Transfer Notice Date notice of the proposed transfer of Mortgage Loans and, before the Transfer Date, each Rating Agency shall have notified the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee, and the Credit Enhancer that the transfer of Mortgage Loans would not result in a reduction or withdrawal of its then current rating of the Notes without regard to the Insurance Policy.

(vii)

The Transferor shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and the Insurer an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the items in subparagraphs (i) through (vi), inclusive, have been performed or are true, as the case may be. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the Officer’s Certificate, shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters in it, and shall incur no liability in so relying.

Upon receiving the requisite information from the Transferor, the Servicer shall perform in a timely manner those acts required of it, as specified above. Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, on the Transfer Date each of the Indenture Trustee and the Seller shall effect delivery to the Transferor of the portion of the Mortgage File in its possession for each Mortgage Loan being so transferred, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Transferor any other documents prepared by the Transferor reasonably necessary to transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Transferor. This transfer of the Trust’s interest in Mortgage Loans shall be without recourse, representation, or warranty by the Indenture Trustee or the Trust to the Transferor.

ARTICLE III.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.01

The Servicer.

(a)

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of Mortgage Loans with any institution which (i) is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such Subservicing Agreement, (ii) (x) has been designated an approved Seller-Servicer by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) or the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) for first and second mortgage loans or (y) is an affiliate of the Servicer or (z) is otherwise approved by the Insurer. The Servicer shall give written notice to the Insurer, and the Indenture Trustee prior to the appointment of any Subservicer. Any such Subservicing Agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement and shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor subservicer which qualifies hereunder.

(b)

Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received such payments. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(c)

Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and Class A Noteholders and the Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.01(d) herein. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.

(d)

In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of an Event of Servicing Termination), the Indenture Trustee or its designee approved by the Insurer or a successor Servicer under Section 7.02(a) shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Indenture Trustee or designee approved by the Insurer or any successor Servicer elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Subservicing Agreement. Each Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or any successor Servicer in the event that the Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to an Event of Servicing Termination). In no event shall any Subservicing Agreement require the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee as Successor Servicer to pay compensation to a Subservicer or order the termination of such Subservicer. Any fee payable or expense incurred in connection with such a termination will be payable by the outgoing Servicer. If the Indenture Trustee does not terminate a Subservicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, its designee or a successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreements with regard to events that occurred prior to the date the Servicer ceased to be the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

(e)

No costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of Servicing Advances shall, for the purposes of distributions to Class A Noteholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust and each Class A Noteholder, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer and requested in writing, the Trust and/or the Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and, if directed by the Servicer, any Subservicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and any such Subservicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer, in servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, shall employ or cause to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure and REO management procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, in accordance with accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and giving due consideration to the Insurer’s, the Class A Noteholders’ and the Trust’s reliance on the Servicer.

(f)

On and after such time as the Indenture Trustee receives the resignation of, or notice of the removal of, the Servicer from its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and with respect to resignation pursuant to Section 6.04 herein, after receipt by the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer of the Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to Section 6.04, the Indenture Trustee, if it so elects, and with the consent of the Insurer, shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer, subject to Section 7.02 herein. The Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the Indenture Trustee, all documents and records relating to the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing rights and obligations to the assuming party.

(g)

The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer on or before the Closing Date and shall revise such list from time to time, as appropriate, and shall deliver all revisions promptly to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

(h)

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Noteholders, and the Trust, or any of them, any instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.

At the request of a Servicing Officer, the Trust shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of the Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property; provided,

(i)

the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan immediately following the modification is not greater than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan as of the date such Mortgage Loan was originated; or

(ii)

in the case of any such action that would result in an increase in the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio over the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio as of the date such Mortgage Loan was originated, the aggregate number of Mortgage Loans with respect to which a new senior lien is consented to by the Servicer does not exceed [___]% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and

(x)

the CLTV after giving effect to the modification does not exceed [___]% and

(y)

the related Margin will be increased if necessary to comply with the Servicer’s origination criteria in effect at the time taking into account the CLTV after giving effect to the modification.

For purposes of this paragraph, the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio immediately following such modification is assumed not to have changed from the related Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio at the time the related Mortgage Loan was originated if a new appraisal is not required to be obtained under the Servicer’s customary servicing practices.

The Servicer may also, without approval from the Rating Agencies or the Insurer, increase the Credit Limit on a Mortgage Loan if such increase is consistent with the Servicer’s underwriting policies and a new Appraised Value is obtained and the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Mortgage Loan after giving effect to the increase is less than or equal to the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-Off Date.

In addition, the Servicer may increase the Credit Limits on up to [___]% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date if the increase in the Credit Limit of any single Mortgage Loan does not cause the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan to exceed [___]%.

Furthermore, the Servicer, without prior approval from the Rating Agencies or the Insurer, may solicit Mortgagors for a reduction in Margins, provided that the cumulative impact of any such margin reductions shall not result in the reduction of the weighted average Margin of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date by more than [___] basis points taking into account any prior reductions.

In addition, the Servicer may agree to changes in the terms of a Mortgage Loan at the request of the Mortgagor if the changes (i) do not materially and adversely affect the interests of Noteholders, the Transferor, or the Insurer and (ii) are consistent with prudent and customary business practice. At the same time that the Servicer delivers the Statement to Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Seller and the Insurer a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer to the effect that the conditions of this Section 3.01(h) have been complied with, with respect to changes made to the terms of any Mortgage Loan in reliance on this Section 3.01(h) during the preceding Due Period.

In addition, the Servicer may solicit Mortgagors to change any other terms of the related Mortgage Loans if the changes (i) do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Transferor, or the Insurer and (ii) are consistent with prudent and customary business practice as evidenced by a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Servicer to solicit mortgagors with respect to new loans (including mortgage loans) that are not Mortgage Loans.

Section 3.02

Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

(a)

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans. Consistent with the foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any prepayment penalty or late payment charge or any assumption fees or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for the payment of interest due and unpaid; provided that such arrangement is consistent with the Servicer’s policies with respect to the mortgage loans it owns or services; provided, further, that notwithstanding such arrangement such Mortgage Loans will be included in the monthly information delivered by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 5.03 herein.

(b)

The Servicer shall establish and maintain with the Indenture Trustee, a separate trust account (the “Collection Account”) entitled “[_________], as Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of First Horizon ABS Notes and as Paying Agent for the Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest, as their interests may appear, Series 20[__]-[__] Collection Account.” The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall on the Closing Date deposit any amounts representing payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Closing Date, and thereafter, subject to Section 3.02(d), deposit within two Business Days following receipt thereof, the following payments and collections received or made by it (without duplication) to the Collection Account:

(i)

all payments received after the Cut-Off Date on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii)

all payments received after the Cut-Off Date on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans;

(iii)

all Net Recoveries;

(iv)

[Reserved];

(v)

the Purchase Price of any Mortgage Loan and the amount of any Substitution Adjustment and of any Transferor Deposit Amount paid by the Seller during the related Due Period pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.04;

(vi)

all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds; and

(vii)

[Reserved];

(viii)

any amount required to be deposited therein pursuant to Sections 3.02(c), 3.16 and 5.06(e) herein;

The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer need not deposit in the Collection Account amounts representing fees (including annual fees) or late charge penalties payable by Mortgagors or amounts received by the Servicer for the accounts of Mortgagors for application toward the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, assessments and similar items.

(c)

All funds in the Collection Account shall be held (i) uninvested or (ii) invested at the direction of the Servicer in Eligible Investments. Any investments of funds in the Collection Account shall mature or be withdrawable at par on or prior to two Business Days preceding the immediately succeeding Payment Date or if deposits are being made pursuant to paragraph (d) below, on the Business Day preceding the immediately succeeding Payment Date. Any investment earnings on funds held in the Collection Account through the second day preceding the day on which such funds are to be deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the account of the Servicer and may be withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer at any time. Any investment losses on funds held in the Collection Account through the second day preceding the day on which such funds are to be deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for such account of the Servicer and promptly (and in no event later than the next Payment Date) upon the realization of such loss shall be contributed by the Servicer to the Collection Account. Any references herein to amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall refer to amounts net of such investment earnings.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3.02(b) to the contrary, the Servicer shall be permitted to remit the collections that would otherwise be required to be deposited on a daily basis pursuant Section 3.02(b), net of any amount permitted to be withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.03(ii) through (viii) hereof, to the Collection Account in immediately available funds no later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to each Payment Date but only for so long as (a) the short-term deposit obligations of the Servicer are rated at least “[___]” by S&P and “[___]” by Xxxxx’x, and (b) no Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing.

(e)

During the period that the Servicer is permitted to remit collections as contemplated by the preceding paragraph 3.02(d), the Servicer shall establish and maintain for the Trust a Mortgage Loan Payment Record on which the payments and collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans for each of the categories specified in Section 3.02(b) shall be recorded and on which each of the categories of withdrawal specified in Section 3.03 shall be recorded and the Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing as promptly as practicable (but in any event not later than Determination Date for the next Payment Date) of the amounts so recorded for each of the categories specified in such Section that are to be included in Interest Collections and Principal Collections for the related Payment Date and of the amounts so recorded which will constitute a part of Interest Collections and Principal Collections for the second following Payment Date.

(f)

If (i) the written notification called for by the preceding paragraph is not received by the Determination Date for the next Payment Date or (ii) such notification indicates that Interest Collections and Principal Collections for such Payment Date are less than the Guaranteed Principal Distribution Amount and the Interest Distribution for such Payment Date or (iii) the Servicer shall fail to make the deposit pursuant to Section 3.02(d), the Indenture Trustee shall immediately notify the Seller, the Depositor and the Insurer.

Section 3.03

Section 3.04

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection Expenses. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance naming the Servicer or its designee as loss payee thereunder providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan from time to time, (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. The Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value from time to time of the improvements which are a part of such property, (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan at the time of such foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued interest and the good-faith estimate of the Servicer of related Servicing Advances to be incurred in connection therewith. Amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called for by Section 3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in a federally designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the related Mortgage Loan shall include flood insurance to the extent such flood insurance is available and the Servicer has determined such insurance to be necessary in accordance with accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions. All such flood insurance shall be in amounts not less than the lesser of (A) the amount in clause (i) above, (B) the amount in clause (ii) above and (C) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as amended. The Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

Section 3.05

Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket insurance policy consistent with prudent industry standards, insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such insurance policy names the Servicer or its designee as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the Mortgage Loans without coinsurance, and otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 3.04, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance coverage under Section 3.04. Upon the request of the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, a certified true copy of such insurance policy. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the Trust, claims under any such insurance policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy.

Section 3.06

[Reserved].

Section 3.07

Management and Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trust solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Insurer, the Class A Noteholders and the Trust.

The Servicer shall cause to be deposited, within the time period specified in Section 3.02(b) or 3.02(d), as applicable, in the Collection Account, all revenues net of Servicing Advances received with respect to the related REO Property and shall retain, or cause the Indenture Trustee to withdraw therefrom, funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer for cash at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trust and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid. The cash proceeds of the sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.02(b) or 3.02(d), as applicable, net of any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, payable to the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.03, for distribution to the Class A Noteholders in accordance with Section 5.01 herein.

The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to ownership Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default when no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.01, subject to the provisions contained in the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 3.07 and only if the Servicer determines that there is sufficient equity in the related Mortgaged Property to justify such foreclosure. In connection with foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer will follow Accepted Servicing Practices, including the practice that the Servicer will not be required to expend its own funds in connection with foreclosure or other conversion, correction of default on a related senior mortgage loan or restoration of any Mortgaged Property unless, in its sole judgment, foreclosure, correction or restoration will increase net liquidation proceeds.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Indenture Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Trust and the Insurer.

If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a 1 mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks, the Servicer will notify the Insurer prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property and shall not take any action without prior written approval of the Insurer.

Section 3.08

Indenture Trustee to Cooperate. Upon any principal prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan following the end of the related Draw Period, the Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 3.01(e), if the related Assignment of Mortgage has been recorded as required hereunder, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. If the Indenture Trustee is holding any portion of the Mortgage Files, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a Request for Release, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related portion of the Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents, at the expense of and in the forms provided by the Servicer, as shall be necessary for the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other servicing actions. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return the portion of the Mortgage File released to it to the Indenture Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer.

In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any Mortgage Loan that is in default following recordation of the related Assignment of Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall, if so requested in writing by the Servicer execute an appropriate assignment in the form provided to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer to assign such Mortgage Loan for the purpose of collection to the Servicer (any such assignment shall unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose of collection only) and, upon such assignment, such assignee for collection will thereupon bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of the Mortgage Loan and deposit or credit the Net Recoveries received with respect thereto in the Collection Account. In the event that all delinquent payments due under any such Mortgage Loan are paid by the Mortgagor and any other defaults are cured then the assignee for collection shall promptly reassign such Mortgage Loan to the Indenture Trustee and return it to the place where the related Mortgage File was being maintained.

Section 3.09

Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain the Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 3.02 as compensation for its services in connection with servicing the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, additional servicing compensation in the form of late payment charges or other receipts not considered interest or principal payments under the Mortgage Notes, Foreclosure Profits and, subject to Section 3.02(b) above (except as noted in Section 5.06(e) below), investment income on the Collection Account or the Distribution Account shall be retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including payment of all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder to be for the account of the Trust) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

(a) Not later than [_________] of each calendar year (other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Seller) reasonably acceptable to the Depositor, the Trust and the Insurer to furnish a letter or letters to the Insurer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust and the Rating Agencies to the effect that such firm has applied certain procedures agreed upon with the Servicer and examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Sale and Servicing Agreement and that, on the basis of such agreed-upon procedures, nothing has come to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe that the servicing (including the allocation of Interest Collections and Principal Collections) has not been conducted in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 5.01, 5.03, and 3.01(h) of this Agreement, except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Such report shall set forth the agreed upon procedures performed.

(b)

Not later than [_________] of each calendar year (other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Seller) to furnish a report (addressed to the Indenture Trustee) to the Insurer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust, and each Rating Agency to the effect that they have applied certain procedures agreed upon with the Servicer to compare the mathematical calculations of certain amounts set forth in the Servicer’s Certificate and Statement to Noteholders delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 during the period covered by such report with the Servicer’s computer reports which were the source of such amounts and that on the basis of such agreed-upon procedures and comparison, such accountants are of the opinion that such amounts are in agreement, except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

(c)

A copy of each certificate and report provided pursuant to Section 5.03 may be obtained by any Class A Noteholder or by the holder of the Transferor Interest by a request to the Indenture Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.

(d)

In the event such firm requires the Indenture Trustee or the Trust to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee or the Trust in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee or the Trust will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee or the Trust will make no independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

Section 3.12

Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, Class A Noteholders which are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the Office of Thrift Supervision access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC (acting as operator of the SAIF or the BIF), such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.12 shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.12 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12; provided that the Servicer makes reasonable efforts to provide such information without violation of law.

Section 3.13

[Reserved].

Section 3.14

Reports to the Commission.

(a)

The Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Issuer’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Issuer any Forms 8-K and 10-K (together “Forms”) customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Servicer shall submit to the Depositor for execution any Form 10-K and any Form 8-K. The Depositor shall execute such Forms and return them to the Servicer. Upon receipt of any such executed Forms from the Depositor, the Servicer shall cause to be filed (via the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) any such Forms on behalf of the Issuer. Prior to April 30 of the first year in which such filing is permitted under applicable law, the Servicer shall file a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Issuer. Each of the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Servicer, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Servicer reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b)

So long as a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Issuer has not previously been filed, each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Servicer within 15 days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the Servicer’s Certificate and Statement to Noteholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. So long as a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Issuer has not previously been filed, prior to May 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Servicer shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff’s interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.10 and an annual report from the independent public accountants as to compliance by the Servicer with particular servicing standards, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Servicer. If they are not so timely delivered, the Servicer shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Servicer. The Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Servicer’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include the certification in the form set forth in Section 3.14(c) below (the “Certification”), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

(c)

Unless the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issues written guidance or otherwise informs the Seller, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer in writing that the approach set forth below is not permissible, the parties agree that the Form 10-K shall include the following certificate:

Section 3.18

Assumption Agreements. When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person shall become liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Mortgagor shall remain liable thereon. The Servicer, in accordance with accepted mortgage loan servicing standards for mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans, is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability whereby such person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in writing that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed, and add such agreement to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18, the Servicer shall not change the Loan Rate or the Monthly Payment, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal amount or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

Section 3.19

Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall not be required to maintain records relating to payment of taxes or insurance (including hazard insurance).

INSURER

Section 4.01

Claims upon the Insurance Policy. (a) As soon as possible, and in no event later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Insurer, the Fiscal Agent and the Servicer with a completed notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Insurance Policy (the “Notice for Payment”) in the event that the Insurance Policy Draw Amount for such Payment Date is an amount greater than zero. The Notice for Payment shall specify the amount of the Insurance Policy Draw Amount and shall constitute a claim for an Insurance Policy Draw Amount pursuant to the Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of an Insurance Policy Draw Amount on behalf of the Holders of the Class A Notes under the Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit such Insurance Policy Draw Amount in the Distribution Account and shall distribute such Insurance Policy Draw Amount pursuant to Section 5.01 (a)I(iv) and II.

(b)

The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of interest and principal paid in respect of the Class A Notes from moneys received under the Insurance Policy. The Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon [_____] Business Day’s prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

(c)

If a payment to the Class A Noteholders which is guaranteed pursuant to the Insurance Policy is voided (a “Preference Event”) under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law in an insolvency proceeding (as such term is used in the Insurance Policy), and, as a result of such a Preference Event, the Indenture Trustee is required to return such voided payment, or any portion of such voided payment, made in respect of the Class A Notes (an “Avoided Payment”), the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer (w) a certified copy of a final order of a court exercising jurisdiction in such Insolvency Proceeding to the effect that the Indenture Trustee is required to return any such payment or portion thereof during the term of the Insurance Policy because such payment was voided under applicable law, with respect to which order the appeal period has expired without an appeal having been filed (the “Final Order”), (x) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Insurer that such order is final and not subject to appeal, (y) an assignment, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer, irrevocably assigning to the Insurer all rights and claims of the Indenture Trustee relating to or arising under such Avoided Payment and (z) a Notice for Payment appropriately completed and executed by the Indenture Trustee. Such payment shall be disbursed to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order and not to the Indenture Trustee directly (unless a Class A Noteholder has previously paid such amount to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order in which case such payment shall be disbursed to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to such Class A Noteholder upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Insurer). The Indenture Trustee is not permitted to make a claim on the Trust or on any Class A Noteholder for payments made to any Class A Noteholder which are characterized as preference payments by any bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over any bankrupt Mortgagor unless ordered to do so by such bankruptcy court.

(d)

Any amounts received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Insurance Policy in respect of the Class A Notes shall be deposited to the Distribution Account.

Section 4.02

Effect of Payments by the Insurer; Subrogation. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal of or interest on any of the Class A Notes which are made with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment of such Class A Notes, as applicable, from the Trust and shall not result in the payment of or the provision for the payment of the principal of or interest on such Class A Notes, as applicable, within the meaning of Section 5.01 herein. The Seller, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by its acceptance of a Class A Note agrees, that without the need for any further action on the part of the Insurer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar (a) to the extent the Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any Class A Notes to the Holders of such Class A Notes, the Insurer will be fully subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest, as applicable, from the Trust and (b) the Insurer shall be paid such principal and interest but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in the Insurance Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.

The Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Insurer’s rights or interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders of the Class A Notes as otherwise set forth herein.

Section 4.05

Replacement Insurance Policy. In the event of a default by the Insurer under the Insurance Policy or if the claims paying ability rating of the Insurer is downgraded and such downgrade results in a downgrading of the then current rating of the Class A Notes (in each case, a “Replacement Event”), the Seller may, in accordance with and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Insurance Policy and the Insurance and Indemnity Agreement, the payment in full of all amounts owed to the Insurer, and the receipt of a statement in writing from each Rating Agency stating that the substitution referred to below would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates (without regard to the [__________] Policy), but shall not be required to, substitute a new insurance policy or insurance policies for the existing Insurance Policy, or may arrange for any other form of credit enhancement; provided, however, that in each case the Class A Notes shall be rated no lower than the rating assigned by each Rating Agency to the Class A Notes immediately prior to such Replacement Event. It shall be a condition to substitution of any new credit enhancement that there be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (i) a legal opinion, acceptable in form and substance to the Indenture Trustee, from counsel to the provider of such new credit enhancement with respect to the enforceability thereof and such other matters as the Indenture Trustee may require and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution would not have a materially adverse tax effect on the Class A Noteholders or the Trust. Upon receipt of the items referred to above and the taking of physical possession of the new credit enhancement, the Indenture Trustee shall, within five Business Days following receipt of such items and such taking of physical possession, deliver the replaced Insurance Policy to the Insurer.

If an Event of Servicing Termination shall have occurred and be continuing or if the Servicer does not provide investment directions, the Indenture Trustee shall invest all Accounts in Eligible Investments described in paragraph (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments. No such investment in any Account shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date ([except that (i) if such Eligible Investment is (a) an investment described in item (vi) of Eligible Investments if such Eligible Investments are managed by the Indenture Trustee or (b) an obligation of the Indenture Trustee, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such Payment Date and (ii)] or any other date prior to such Payment Date as may be approved by the Rating Agencies and the Insurer).

(b)

If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held by the Indenture Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such disbursement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account.

(c)

The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable for the selection of Eligible Investments by the Servicer or by reason of any investment loss or charge or any insufficiency in the Collection Account held by the Indenture Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein unless the Indenture Trustee’s failure to perform in accordance with this Section is the cause of such loss or charge (except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon or as provided in subsection (b) of this Section). The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment made with funds on deposit in the Collection Account prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction. In the absence of written investment direction, the Indenture Trustee shall invest funds in the Accounts in the Eligible Investment described in clause (vi) of the definition thereof.

(d)

The Indenture Trustee may invest and reinvest funds in the Accounts held by the Indenture Trustee, to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as the Servicer, in the case of the Collection Account or in such manner as the Indenture Trustee, in the case of the Distribution Account, shall from time to time direct as set forth in Section 5.06(a), but only in one or more Eligible Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, funds in the Distribution Account may remain uninvested for one Business Day at the Indenture Trustee’s discretion.

(e)

All net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Collection Account through the second day preceding the day on which such funds are to be deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) and all net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited (i) in the Collection Account from the day preceding the day on which such funds are to be deposited in the Distribution Account and (ii) in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, and shall be subject to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such income or gain is received. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account and the Indenture Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account, as the case may be, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Eligible Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon immediately upon realization of such loss from its own funds, without any right to reimbursement therefore.

Section 6.03

Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Class A Noteholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties of the Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder; provided, further, that this provision shall not be construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Net Recoveries realized with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Class A Notes, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder; and such amounts shall be payable only pursuant to Section 5.01(a)I(ix). The Servicer may with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Class A Noteholders hereunder.

The Servicer’s right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 below with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer solely in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

Section 6.04

Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02 above, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Indenture Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee; (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Indenture Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Class A Notes; and (c) such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by a letter to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Indenture Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Indenture Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 below. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 below as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer.

Section 6.05

Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01 herein. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04 above. The Servicer shall provide the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee with written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer’s Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, and the Insurer shall have consented to the appointment of any Subservicer (which consent shall not have been unreasonably withheld).

Section 6.06

Indemnification of the Trust by the Servicer. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner Trustee, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its activities in servicing or administering the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable fees of, counsel of its selection and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim related to the Servicer’s misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. Any such indemnification shall not be payable from the assets of the Trust. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof. The provisions of this Section 6.06 shall survive termination of the Agreement or the earlier of the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

any breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty made in Section 2.03 herein, which breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Class A Noteholders or the Insurer and continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the giving of written notice of such failure to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Insurer or Holders of Class A Notes evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than [___]% of the aggregate Class A Note Principal Balance (or such longer period, with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such breach, provided that the Servicer has commenced and diligently pursues such remedy to completion); or

(vii)

the failure by the Servicer to be “adequately capitalized” under 12 CFR 565, “Prompt Corrective Action” (FDICIA), as shown on the most recent Thrift Financial Report;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Servicing Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, (x) subject to the succeeding paragraph, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Insurer or the Holders of Class A Notes representing not less than [___]% of the Class A Note Principal Balance (with the consent of the Insurer, so long as no Insurer Default exists), by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Holders of Class A Notes), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor, the Trust and the Insurer. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Class A Notes or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in fact or otherwise, 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 of each Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, or that have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Indenture Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

In addition, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event, as provided in the Insurance and Indemnity Agreement, and upon the direction of the Insurer in connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee shall terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and shall appoint a successor Servicer in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.02.

Section 7.02

Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a)

On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or resigns pursuant to 6.04 herein, the Indenture Trustee or a previously agreed upon successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer, or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $[_________] as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided that any such successor Servicer shall be acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by the Insurer’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Class A Notes by the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be held liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.09 herein (or such lesser compensation as the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall agree). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under any insurance policy obtained and maintained pursuant to Section 3.05 herein or to indemnify the Trust and the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06), nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b)

Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i) continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Trust, and (ii) maintain in force an insurance policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer maintained as of the date hereof, as the same may have been increased from time to time. No successor servicer shall have the right to retain and commingle payments on, and collections in respect of, the Mortgage Loans with its own funds pursuant to Section 3.02(d) unless (i) consented to in writing by the Insurer and (ii) such commingling will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Class A Notes, without regard to the Insurance Policy, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency.

Section 7.03

Waiver of Defaults. The Insurer or the Majority Noteholders with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) may, on behalf of all Class A Noteholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII, provided, however, that the Insurer and the Majority Noteholders may not waive a default in making a required payment on a Class A Note without the consent of the Holder of such Class A Note. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Servicing Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Rating Agencies.

Section 7.04

Notification to Class A Noteholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04 above, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Class A Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Class A Note Register, the Insurer and each Rating Agency.

ARTICLE VIII.

TERMINATION

Section 8.01

Termination.

(a)

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to make certain payments to Class A Noteholders after the Final Payment Date and the obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Indenture Trustee of the later of (A) payment in full of all amounts owing to the Insurer unless the Insurer shall otherwise consent and (B) the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust; (ii) the optional purchase by the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described below and (iii) the Payment Date in January 2033.

(b)

The Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the Class A Note Principal Balance is less than or equal to [___]% of the Original Class A Note Principal Balance by purchasing, on the next succeeding Payment Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding Pool Principal Balance, accrued and unpaid interest and thereon at the weighted average of the Loan Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Payment Date and any LIBOR Interest Carry Over Amount that remains unpaid, together with all amounts due and owing to the Insurer (the “Termination Price”).

In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on the Determination Date before such Payment Date of the Termination Price.

(c)

Notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Payment Date) upon which the Class A Noteholders may surrender their Class A Notes to the Indenture Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of written directions from the Servicer, if the Servicer is exercising its right to transfer of the Mortgage Loans, given not later than the first day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution) to the Insurer and to the Servicer by letter to such parties not earlier than the [___]th day and not later than the [___]th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Payment Date upon which final distribution of the Class A Notes will be made upon presentation and surrender of Class A Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final distribution and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Class A Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein specified.

(d)

Upon presentation and surrender of the Class A Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Class A Notes on the Payment Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class A Notes and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to Class A Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01 for such Payment Date. On the final Payment Date prior to having made the distributions called for above, the Indenture Trustee shall, based upon the information set forth in the Servicing Certificate for such Payment Date, withdraw from the Distribution Account and remit to the Insurer the lesser of (x) the amount available for distribution on such final Payment Date, net of any portion thereof necessary to pay the Class A Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and any amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Indenture Trustee Fee and (y) the unpaid amounts due and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement.

(e)

In the event that all of the Class A Noteholders shall not surrender their Class A Notes for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Class A Noteholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Class A Noteholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Class A Noteholders and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Indenture Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Class A Noteholders to surrender their Class A Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Class A Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the owner of the Transferor Interest will be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto and the Indenture Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds and the Noteholders shall look to the owner of the Transferor Interest for payment.

(f)

Upon payment of all amounts owed under the Insurance Policy and cancellation of the Class A Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall provide the Insurer notice of cancellation of the Class A Notes and surrender the Insurance Policy to the Insurer.

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 9.01

Amendment

(a)

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee by written agreement, without the consent of any of the Class A Noteholders, but only with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct any defective provisions or to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or the Insurance Policy, as the case may be, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) to add or amend any provisions of this Agreement as required by any Rating Agency or any other nationally recognized statistical rating agency in order to maintain or improve any rating of the Class A Notes (it being understood that, after obtaining the ratings in effect on the Closing Date, neither the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor nor the Servicer is obligated to obtain, maintain or improve any such rating), or (vi) to amend the definition of Specified O/C Amount; provided, however, that as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) in each case such action shall not, (1) have any material adverse tax consequence with respect to any Class A Noteholder, the Insurer or the Trust or (2) adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Class A Noteholder or the Insurer, provided, further, that the amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Class A Noteholders or the Insurer, and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be required by this clause (2) if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from the Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Class A Notes without regard to the Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.01(a), if at the time the parties hereto propose to enter into an amendment under this Section 9.01(a) (except an amendment to cure any ambiguity or to correct any provision of this Agreement) the Issuer is required to be a Qualifying SPE in order for the Seller to continue to account for the transfer of the Mortgage Loans under this Sale and Servicing Agreement as a sale under SFAS 140 and the Seller desires to continue to account for such transfer as a sale, then prior to the time that the parties enter into such amendment the Issuer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Accountant’s Opinion which states that such amendments would not “significantly change” (within the meaning of SFAS 140) the Permitted Activities of the Issuer so as to cause the Issuer to fail to qualify as a Qualifying SPE.

(b)

This Agreement also may be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Class A Notes representing not less than [___]% of the Class A Note Principal Balance, and with the consent of the Insurer, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Class A Noteholders or the Transferor in respect of the Transferor Interest; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Class A Notes or distributions or payments under the Insurance Policy which are required to be made on the Class A Notes without the consent of the Holders of all Class A Notes or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Class A Notes then outstanding.

Prior to the execution of any such amendments [described in (a) and (b) above], the Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency. In addition, promptly after the execution of any such amendment made with the consent of the Class A Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Class A Noteholder and fully executed original counterparts of the instruments effecting such amendment to the Insurer.

(c)

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Class A Noteholders under this Section 9.01 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 Class A Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, each of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and all conditions precedent to the execution of such amendment have been met. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, indemnities or immunities under this Agreement.

Recordation of Agreement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement, or a memorandum thereof if permitted under applicable law, is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the Servicer’s expense on direction of the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Class A Noteholders, but only when accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Class A Noteholders or is necessary for the administration or servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

$____________ payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction the numerator of which is the initial principal amount of this Class A Note and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Class A Notes by (ii) the aggregate amount, if any, payable from the Distribution Account in respect of principal on the Class A Note pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of [_________], 20[__] (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among the Trust, First Horizon Asset Securities, Inc., as Depositor (the “Depositor”), First Tennessee Bank National Association as Seller and Servicer (“FTNB”), and [_________], a [_________] organized under the laws of [_________], as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”); provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the Payment Date occurring in [_________] (the “Final Maturity Date”), (ii) any termination date pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (iii) the date on which an Event of Default under the Indenture dated as of [_________], 20[__], between the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Trust, designated as its First Horizon ABS Notes, Class A, all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A Notes are and will be secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Principal of the Class A Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Payment Date” means the [__]th day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in [_________].

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Maturity Date and any termination date pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee, at the direction or upon the prior written consent of the Holders of the Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, shall have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders of the Class A Notes entitled thereto.

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the related installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to, or by check mailed to, the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Trust, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in New York, New York.

As provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Class A Notes may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Payment Date on and after the date on which the Class A Note Principal Balance is less than or equal to [___]% of the Original Class A Note Principal Balance.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Trust pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Trust may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. By acquiring this Note, the Noteholder hereof shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring the Note with the plan assets of an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code; of (b) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a security entitlement with respect to a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Trust or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a security entitlement with respect to a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Transaction Documents.

The Trust has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Trust secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Trust.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Trust or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Trust with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

The term “Trust” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Trust under the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, none of the Trust in its individual capacity, the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Trust, or any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Trust for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
