The Class P Certificate shall at all times be issued in the name of the Servicer and shall not evidence ownership of a Regular Interest in any REMIC issued under the Agreement.

(b) replace the second paragraph of Section 3.18 to the Agreement in its entirety with the following:

“Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, Prepayment Charges, ancillary income or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The right to receive any such Prepayment Charges shall be evidenced by the issuance of a Class P Certificate which shall not be separately transferable from the servicing and shall at all times be issued in the name of the Servicer.

(c) add Annex 1 hereto as Exhibit A-6 to the Agreement.

2. Except as expressly modified or amended in this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that all of the terms, covenants, provisions, agreements and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed in every respect and shall remain unmodified and unchanged and shall continue in full force and effect.

3. The Depositor hereby certifies that all conditions for the execution of this Amendment have been satisfied.

4. The Trustee's reporting obligations with respect to the Class P Certificate will begin with the Distribution Date in January 2007.

5. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

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

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as of the last day of the related Remittance Period is less than 10% of the sum of the Stated Principal Balances of the Closing Date Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on the Cut-off Date, the Servicer or if the Servicer fails to exercise such option and any portion of the Class A Certificates remain outstanding, the Certificate Insurer, will have the right to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.
