The Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and to certify to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F‑1 that, as to each Closing Date Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(e)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by the Trustee or the Washington Mutual Custodian, as applicable and are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the related borrower and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on the Trustee’s examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (ii), (ix), (xii), (xiv) (to the extent of the Periodic Rate Cap for the first Adjustment Date and subsequent Adjustment Dates) and (xvi) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose (including with respect to Section 2.01(f), whether such title insurance policy (a) contains all necessary endorsements, (b) insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien or (c) whether the interest vested in the Mortgagor is a fee interest) or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (e) of Section 2.01.

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver (or, with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian, such Custodian shall deliver) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F‑2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee holding such Mortgage Files or any Custodian holding such Mortgage Files finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee shall so notify or such other Custodian shall notify the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

Section 2.03 Cure, Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller; Remedies for Breaches by Depositor or Master Servicer; Remedies for Breaches Relating to Prepayment Charges.

(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (in the case of any such representation or warranty made to the knowledge or the best of knowledge of the Seller, as to which the Seller has no knowledge, without regard to the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty being inaccurate at the time it was made), the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach (except as described in Section 2.03(e)), and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Master Servicer (or, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC 1 at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee or a Custodian, as applicable, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it or such Custodian, as applicable, and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC 1 (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Certificateholders, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and the NIMS Insurer.

(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.05 with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all material respects.

(c) As promptly as practicable (and no later than 90 days) after the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.04 which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.04(a)(vii) or (viii) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects. If the representation made by the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller in Section 2.04(a)(vii) is breached, the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall pay into the Collection Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount previously collected and deposited by, or paid by, the Master Servicer into the Collection Account; and if the covenant made by the Master Servicer in Section 2.04(a)(viii) is breached, the Master Servicer shall pay into the Collection Account the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge.

(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Date for REMIC 1.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee (or, with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian, to such Custodian) on behalf of the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustments (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge or with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian such other Custodian shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F‑1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver or with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian, such other Custodian shall deliver to the

Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F‑2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC 1 and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall give or cause to be given written notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, and the Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge Schedule to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amounts (the “Substitution Adjustments”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I or Loan Group II, respectively, exceeds the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans that will become part of Loan Group I or Loan Group II, respectively, as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the sum of Substitution Adjustments, if any (which for federal income tax purposes will be treated as payment for the repurchase of that portion of the Deleted Mortgage Loans), and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans (or acknowledgement of such receipt by another Custodian) and certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release or, if such Mortgage File is held by another Custodian, such Custodian shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or, if such Mortgage File is held by another Custodian, such Custodian shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it or such Custodian, as applicable, and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

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

(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a) and Section 2.03(d). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

ARTICLE 111
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective

Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans in the local areas where the related Mortgaged Property is located but without regard to:

(i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any Sub‑Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

(ii) the ownership or non‑ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;

(iii) the Master Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or

(iv) the Master Servicer’s or any Sub‑Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above‑described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub‑Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration in accordance with policies and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub‑Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all 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 the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed‑in‑lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Master Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee, shall execute, at the written direction of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any Sub‑Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master Servicer and each Sub-Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such duties including a power of attorney to take title to Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The Trustee, at the direction of the Master Servicer, shall execute a separate power of attorney in favor of (and furnish such power of attorney to) the Master Servicer and/or each Sub-Servicer for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or desirable to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub‑Servicers under such powers of attorney.

Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from collections on the related Mortgage Loans from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub‑Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.04) and the Master Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or contributions after the startup day under the REMIC Provisions.

The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will furnish, or cause to be furnished, information regarding the borrower credit file related to such Mortgage Loan to credit reporting agencies in compliance with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the applicable implementing regulations.

Section 3.02 Sub‑Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub‑Servicers.

(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub‑Servicing Agreements provided (i) that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates, any of the Other NIM Notes or any of the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer), as evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each Rating Agency to the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer and (ii) that, except in the case of any Sub‑Servicing Agreements the Master Servicer may enter into with Washington Mutual, Inc. or any Affiliate thereof, the NIMS Insurer shall have consented to such Sub‑Servicing Agreements (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) with Sub‑Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. That certain Subservicing Agreement by and between the Master Servicer and Washington Mutual Bank, FA dated April 9, 2001 is hereby acknowledged as being permitted under this Agreement and meeting the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Master Servicer, any Sub‑Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to Sub‑Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

Each Sub‑Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub‑Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub‑Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts in which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub‑Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub‑Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08. The Master Servicer will examine each Sub‑Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub‑Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub‑Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub‑Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub‑Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub‑Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub‑Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub‑Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee copies of all Sub‑Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub‑Servicer under the related Sub‑Servicing Agreement and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub‑Servicing Agreement, or to purchase or otherwise remedy as contemplated herein a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub‑Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be effected by the Master Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and otherwise by the Trustee, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

Section 3.03 Successor Sub‑Servicers.

The Master Servicer, with the written consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub‑Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub‑Servicer pursuant to any Sub‑Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub‑Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub‑Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub‑Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub‑Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub‑Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub‑Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.

Any Sub‑Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Trustee shall so terminate such Sub‑Servicing Agreement at the direction of the NIMS Insurer in the event that the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, if then acting as Master Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).

Section 3.04 Liability of the Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Sub‑Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Sub‑Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub‑Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub‑Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub‑Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub‑Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub‑Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification and no such indemnification shall be an expense of the Trust.

Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub‑Servicers and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or Certificateholders.

Any Sub‑Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub‑Servicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub‑Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub‑Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub‑Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees and such fees shall not be an expense of the Trust.

Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Sub‑Servicing Agreements by Trustee.

In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub‑Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub‑Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Sub‑Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub‑Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub‑Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer at its own expense and without reimbursement shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub‑Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub‑Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

Section 3.07Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

The Master 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 and the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.04 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.04(d) pursuant to which the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short Pay‑off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor; provided, that in the judgment of the Master Servicer, any such modification, waiver or amendment could reasonably be expected to result in collections and other recoveries in respect of such Mortgage Loans in excess of Net Liquidation Proceeds that would be recovered upon the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, such Mortgage Loan and provided further, that the NIMS Insurer’s prior written consent shall be required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds 5% of the number of Closing Date Mortgage Loans as of the Cut‑off Date.

Section 3.08 Sub‑Servicing Accounts.

In those cases where a Sub‑Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub‑Servicing Agreement, the Sub‑Servicer shall be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub‑Servicing Account”). The Sub‑Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004‑1, Asset‑Backed Certificates, Series 2004‑1. The Sub‑Servicer shall be required to deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Sub‑Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub‑Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub‑Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub‑Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Sub‑Servicer shall thereafter be required to deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub‑Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub‑Servicer receives such payments.

Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.

The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”). Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub‑Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a Sub‑Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub‑Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances

in the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account upon the termination of the Master Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or Sub‑Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills within such time and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments; provided, however, that such advances shall constitute Servicing Advances.

Section 3.10 Collection Account and Distribution Account.

(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut‑off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut‑off Date or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut‑off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto):

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

(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

(viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master Servicer; and

(ix) without duplication, all payments of claims received by the Master Servicer under the PMI Policy.

For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut‑off Date with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of substitution.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Master Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges on the Prepayment Charge Schedule collected by the Master Servicer in connection with any of the Mortgage Loans and any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.27 and (ii) on each Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Master Servicer shall, on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Seller or any Sub‑Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto. In order to comply with its duties under the U.S. Patriot Act, the Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information and documentation from the owners of the account that it establishes pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, each account owner’s name, address, and other identifying information.

(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw, and the Trustee shall withdraw, such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to the Master Servicer any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any REO Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:

(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon actual notice by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, from its own funds, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.

(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trustee shall be for the benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account, from its own funds, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may, and subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

Section 3.13 Reserved.

Section 3.14 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the then current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Master Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b) The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained a waiver of such Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements from either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained a waiver of such Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements from either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (upon such party’s reasonable request) with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Master Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also cause each Sub‑Servicer to maintain a comparable policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond meeting such requirements.

Section 3.15 Enforcement of Due‑On‑Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

The Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due‑on‑sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its sole business judgment the Master Servicer believes that the collections and other recoveries in respect of such Mortgage Loans could reasonably be expected to be maximized if the Mortgage Loan were not accelerated, and the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due‑on‑sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master Servicer will enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor

remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer may also enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that ofthe original Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption, modification or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable under the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any assumption, modification or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (with a copy to the NIMS Insurer) the executed original of such substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which document shall be added 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Master 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 by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 3.16 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will constitute and be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of

such property unless it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee‑in‑possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum‑based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean‑up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, if such environmental audit reveals, or if the Master Servicer has knowledge or notice, that the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan contains such wastes or substances or is within one mile of the site of such wastes or substances, the Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure without the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans. It is understood by the parties hereto that any such advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.

If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean‑up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum‑based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans. It is understood by the parties hereto that any such advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.

(c) The Master Servicer may at its option purchase from REMIC 1 any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property that is 90 days or more delinquent or that has been otherwise in default for 90 days or more, which the Master Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties on the basis of delinquency or default, purchasing first the Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties that became delinquent or otherwise in default on an earlier date; and provided, further, that such option shall expire as of the last day of the calendar quarter during which such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property became 90 days delinquent or otherwise in default for 90 days or more. In the event the Master Servicer does not exercise its option to purchase from REMIC 1 any such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property prior to the expiration of such option, the NIMS Insurer shall be entitled to purchase such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property at any time thereafter. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, title to any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property released pursuant hereto.

(d) Proceeds received (other than any Prepayment Charges received) in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).

Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will promptly notify the Trustee and the applicable Custodian holding the related Mortgage File by a certification in the form of Exhibit E‑2 (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Representative and shall request delivery to it of the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or such Custodian, as applicable, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee or the applicable Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E‑l, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non‑judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Representative certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Representative stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee or the applicable Custodian to the Master Servicer or its designee.

(c) At the direction of the Master Servicer and upon written certification of a Servicing Representative, each of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity, or shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer a power of attorney sufficient to authorize the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf, provided that each of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian shall be obligated to execute the documents identified above if necessary to enable the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer to perform their respective duties hereunder or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee or the applicable Custodian and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required.

Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Late Collections, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Sub‑Servicer pursuant to a Sub‑Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub‑Servicer, it being understood however, that payment of such premiums by the Master Servicer shall constitute Servicing Advances and servicing compensation of each Sub‑Servicer, and to the extent provided herein and in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

Section 3.19 Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account Statements.

Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor a statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass‑Through Program with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.

Section 3.20 Statement as to Compliance.

The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency on or before March 10 of each calendar year prior to and including the calendar year in which a Form 15 is filed with respect to the Trust Fund and April 30 of each calendar year thereafter, an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.

Section 3.21 Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

Not later than March 10 of each calendar year prior to and including the calendar year in which a Form 15 is filed with respect to the Trust Fund and April 30 of each calendar year thereafter, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which includes an assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub‑Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those Sub‑Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer’s expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public accountants requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee has not made any 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 3.22 Access to Certain Documentation.

The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer under this Agreement, as may be required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer under this Agreement will be provided to any Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and to any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access.

Section 3.23 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1 (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders), shall sell any REO Property as soon as practicable and, in any event, shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year after the year REMIC 1 acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the three‑year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three‑year grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC 1 of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. If an extension of the three‑year period is granted, the Master Servicer shall sell the related REO Property no later than 60 days prior to the expiration of such extension period. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non‑permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.

(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer may allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Master Servicer may retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

(c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith,the MasterServicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall advance from its own funds as Servicing Advances such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the Master Servicer owned the REO Property and if such Servicing Advance would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall:

(i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than construction permitted under Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;

unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance), a copy of which shall be provided to the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by REMIC 1, in which case the Master Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv) the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees; provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Master Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Master Servicer.

(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub‑Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub‑Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d).

(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar properties.

(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any Sub‑Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

(g) The Master Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Section 3.24 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount (“Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended calendar month.

Section 3.25 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.

In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor master servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.25 shall not limit the ability of the Master Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law and shall not be an expense of the Trust.

Section 3.26 Reserve Fund.

No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Reserve Fund, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004‑1, Asset‑Backed Certificates, Series 2004‑1.” The Trustee shall account for the right to receive payments from the Reserve Fund as property that the Trustee holds separate and apart from the REMIC Regular Interests.

(a) The following amounts shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund:

(i) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit all amounts received with respect to the Cap Agreements;

(ii) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Reserve Fund $1,000;

(iii) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to any of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Holders of the Class C Certificates to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section 4.01(d)(i)(x); and

(iv) On each Distribution Date as to which there are no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts, the Trustee shall deposit into the Reserve Fund on behalf of the Holders of the Class C Certificates, from amounts otherwise distributable to such Class C Certificates, an amount such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $1,000.

(b) The Reserve Fund shall be segregated into two separate portions, for which the Trustee shall keep separate accounts. “Portion 1” of the Reserve Fund will consist of amounts deposited pursuant to Section 3.26(a)(i), above, plus any amounts earned on any such funds while on deposit in the Reserve Fund. “Portion 2” of the Reserve Fund will consist of amounts deposited pursuant to Sections 3.26(a)(ii), (a)(iii), and (a)(iv), above, plus any amounts earned on any such funds while on deposit in the Reserve Fund. Amounts distributed from the Reserve Fund under Sections 4.01(d)(ii) and 3.26(c) shall be deemed to be distributed first from Portion 1 of the Reserve Fund to the extent thereof and then from Portion 2.

(c) Each Portion of the Reserve Fund shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under applicable Treasury regulations and will not be part of any REMIC created hereunder. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Trustee shall be deemed to be the owner of Portion 1 of the Reserve Fund and no amount will be transferred by any REMIC to Portion 1 of the Reserve Fund. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Holders of the Class C Certificates shall be deemed to be the owners of Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into such Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 2 to REMIC CX in respect of the Class C Interest, and then distributed by REMIC CX to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. For federal and state income tax purposes, payments in respect of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

(d) By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Holder of a Class C Certificate shall be deemed to have directed the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall pursuant to such direction, deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section 3.26(a)(iii) and (a)(iv) above on each Distribution Date. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Holder of a Class C Certificate further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.

(e) At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository institution maintaining Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates with respect to Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in such Portion in Permitted Investments managed by the Trustee or an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any funds in Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund shall be invested in Deutsche Bank Cash Management Fund 541 for so long as such investment complies with clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited into Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund.

The Trustee shall hold the funds in Portion 1 of the Reserve Fund uninvested in an Eligible Account.

(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Certificateholders to receive payment on account of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates from the Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

Section 3.27 Advance Facility.

(a) The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, at the direction of the Master Servicer and with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, is hereby authorized to enter into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing Person”) may make all or a portion of the Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. To the extent that an Advancing Person makes all or a portion of any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.27(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person shall specify the amount of the reimbursement and shall specify which Section of this Agreement permits the applicable Advance or

100

Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing Person’s statement with respect to the amount of any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 3.27 and with respect to the Advancing Person’s statement with respect to the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. An Advancing Person whose obligations are limited to the making of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Sub‑Servicer pursuant to Article VI hereof and will not be deemed to be a Sub‑Servicer under this Agreement. If the terms of a facility proposed to be entered into with an Advancing Person by the Trust Fund would not materially and adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer shall not withhold its consent to the Trust Fund’s entering into such facility.

(b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself under any Section specified or for any amount specified by the Advancing Person in the notice described under Section 3.27(a) above and acknowledged by the Master Servicer prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.10(a). The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with the specified Sections had the Master Servicer itself made such Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing facility may agree.

(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in‑first out” (FIFO) basis.

Sction 3.28 Policy; Claims Under the PMI Policy

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Article III, the Master Servicer shall not agree to any modification or assumption of a PMI Mortgage Loan or take any other action with respect to a PMI Mortgage Loan that could result in denial of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Master Servicer shall notify the PMI Insurer that the Trustee, as trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, is the insured, as that term is defined in the PMI Policy, of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, prepare and file on a timely basis with the PMI Insurer, with a copy to the Trustee, all claims which may be made under the PMI Policy with respect to the PMI Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall take all actions required under the PMI Policy as a condition to the payment of any such claim. Any amount received from the PMI Insurer with respect to any such PMI Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Master Servicer, no later than two Business Days following receipt thereof, into the Collection Account.

(b) If the rating of the Cap Provider’s obligations is withdrawn or reduced (in the manner set forth in Section 12 of each of the Cap Agreements) below one of the Approved Rating Thresholds (as defined in Section 12 of each of the Cap Agreements), the Trustee shall, promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received actual knowledge or written notice of the reduction or withdrawal of the rating (it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to monitor the ratings of the Cap Provider), request the Cap Provider to take actions required to be taken by the Cap Provider by Section 12 of each of the Cap Agreements.

(c) In the event that either Cap Agreement #1 or Cap Agreement #2 is canceled or otherwise terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of the interest rate protection provided thereby or replacement of either Cap Agreement #1 or Cap Agreement #2 by the Cap Provider in accordance with Section 3.30(b)), the Depositor shall, to the extent a replacement contract is available, direct the Trustee to obtain from a counterparty designated by the Depositor a replacement contract comparable to either Cap Agreement #1 or Cap Agreement #2, as applicable (which both such counterparty and such replacement contract shall be acceptable to the Trustee and the Holders of the Certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting Rights)providing interest rate protection which is equal to the then-existing protection provided by either Cap Agreement #1 or Cap Agreement #2, as applicable, provided, however, that if the cost of any such replacement contract providing the same interest rate protection would be greater than the amount of any early termination payment received by the Trustee under either Cap Agreement #1 or Cap Agreement #2, as applicable, the amount of interest rate protection provided by such replacement contract may be reduced to a level such that the cost of such replacement contract shall not exceed the amount of such early termination payment.

On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts paid by or collected by the Master Servicer during the related Prepayment Period will be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed by the Trustee to the Class P Interest, and shall not be available for distribution to any other Class of Certificates.

(f) All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01 or Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Certificates having an initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount that is in excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two‑thirds of the Original Class Certificate Principal Balance or Original Class Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Each distribution with respect to a Book‑Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book‑Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Seller shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

113

(g) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on the Certificates.

(h) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date, mail to the NIMS Insurer and each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:

(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified, and

(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related Accrual Period.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non‑tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non‑tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non‑tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non‑tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., all such amounts, and all rights of non‑tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate, a Mezzanine Certificate or a Class B Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.06 and (b) distributed to such Certificate in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01, and (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated Principal Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.06 and (b) distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof pursuant to Section 4.05.

114

(j) Any amounts distributed to REMIC CX on any Distribution Date in respect of the Class C Interest under Section 4.01(d)(i) shall, on such Distribution Date, be distributed by REMIC CX to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. Any amounts remaining in REMIC CX shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R-CX Certificates in respect of the Class R-CX Interest. Any amounts distributed to REMIC PX on any Distribution Date in respect of the Class P Interest shall, on such Distribution Date, be distributed by REMIC PX to the Holders of the Class P Certificates. Any amounts remaining in REMIC PX shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R-PX Certificates in respect of the Class R-PX Interest.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the NIMS Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a “Preference Claim”) of any distribution made with respect to the Class C Certificates or the Class P Certificates. Each Holder of the Class C Certificates or the Class P Certificates, by its purchase of such Certificates, the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereby agree that the NIMS Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedes or performance bond pending any such appeal.

(b) If on any Distribution Date after giving effect to all Realized Losses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loans during or prior to the related Due Period and distributions of principal with respect to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Class C Interest is equal to zero, Realized Losses equal to the Undercollateralized Amount shall be allocated by the Trustee on such Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class B Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, second, to the Class M‑9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, third, to the Class M‑8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the Class M-6 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class M‑5 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, seventh, to the Class M‑4 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, eighth, to the Class M‑3 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, ninth, to the Class M‑2 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, tenth, to the Class M‑1 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and eleventh, (a) with respect to any Realized Losses related to the Group I Mortgage Loans, to the Group I Senior Certificates, first, to the Class A-2 Certificates and, second, to the Class A-1 Certificates and (b) with respect to any Realized Losses related to the Group II Mortgage Loans, to the Group II Senior Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances. If on any Distribution Date Realized Losses are allocated to both the Class M‑1 Certificates and the Class A Certificates, Realized Losses allocated to the Class A Certificates shall be allocated to the Group I Senior Certificates and the Group II Senior Certificates, pro rata, based on the amount of Realized Losses in

123

the related Loan Group on such Distribution Date, and, then, as provided in clauses (a) and (b) respectively, of clause "eleventh" in the immediately preceding sentence. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided in Section 4.01. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses or increase thereof by any Subsequent Recoveries, in each case to be allocated to such Class A Certificates, Mezzanine Certificates and Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date.

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class A Certificate, a Mezzanine Certificate or a Class B Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the Class P Certificates. Any Realized Losses that reduce the distributions in respect of and/or the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Class C Interest, shall be allocated by the Trustee to reduce the distributions in respect of and/or the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class C Certificates.

(c) (i) 50% of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows:

first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 1 Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;

second, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 1 Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;

third, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-B and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-B has been reduced to zero;

fourth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M9 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M9 has been reduced to zero;

124

fifth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of (i) REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interests LT1-M8 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, (i) 98%, (ii) 1% and (iii) 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interests LT1-M8 have been reduced to zero;

sixth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of (i) REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interests LT1-M7 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, (i) 98%, (ii) 1% and (iii) 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interests LT1-M7 have been reduced to zero;

seventh, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M6 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M6 has been reduced to zero;

eighth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M5 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M5 has been reduced to zero;

ninth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M4 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M4 has been reduced to zero;

tenth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M3 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M3 has been reduced to zero;

eleventh, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M2 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M2 has been reduced to zero;

twelfth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M1 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M1 has been reduced to zero;

thirteenth, with respect to Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-A2 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-A2 has been reduced to zero;

fourteenth, with respect to Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-A1 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-A1 has been reduced to zero; and

125

fifteenth, with respect to Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of (i) REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-AA, (ii) REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-A3, LT1-A4 and LT1-A5 (pro rata) and (iii) REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-A3, LT1-A4 and LT1-A5 have been reduced to zero.

If on any Distribution Date Realized Losses are allocated to both REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-M1 and the REMIC 1 Regular Interests corresponding to the Class A Certificates, Realized Losses shall be allocated among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests corresponding to the Class A Certificates in the same proportions as Realized Losses are allocated among the Class A Certificates.

(ii) 50% of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-1GRP, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-1SUB, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-2GRP, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-2SUB, and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-XX, as follows:

after all distributions have been made on such Distribution Date, Realized Losses shall be applied in such a manner as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group (determined as of the current Distribution Date), and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB” equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group as of the current Distribution Date over (y) the Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates related to such Loan Group immediately prior to such Distribution Date (except that if such excess is larger than it was for the preceding Distribution Date, the least amount of Realized Loss shall be allocated such that the REMIC 1 Subordinated Ratio is maintained); and then to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-XX.

(d) If on any Distribution Date Allocated Realized Loss Amounts are to be reinstated due to Subsequent Recoveries, the Allocated Realized Loss Amounts shall be reinstated by the Trustee on such Distribution Date to increase Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates in the following order of priority, in each case until the related Allocated Realized Loss Amount has been reduced to zero: first, (a) to the Group I Senior Certificates with respect to any Subsequent Recoveries related to the Group I Mortgage Loans (first to the Class A‑1 Certificates and, second to the Class A‑2 Certificates) and (b) to the Group II Senior Certificates with respect to any Subsequent Recoveries related to the Group II Mortgage Loans, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances, second to the Class M‑1 Certificates, third to the Class M‑2 Certificates, fourth to the Class M‑3 Certificates, fifth to the Class M‑4 Certificates, sixth to the Class M‑5 Certificates, seventh to the Class M‑6 Certificates, eighth to the Class M‑7 Certificates, ninth to the Class M‑8 Certificates, tenth to the Class M‑9 Certificates and eleventh to the Class B Certificates. All Subsequent Recoveries to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided in Section 4.01. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be to the

126

Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses or increase thereof by any Subsequent Recoveries, in each case to be allocated to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date.

Any Allocated Realized Loss Amounts to be reinstated to a Certificate on any Distribution Date due to Subsequent Recoveries shall be made by increasing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so reinstated. No allocations of any Subsequent Recoveries shall be made to the Class P Certificates.

(e) If on any Distribution Date Subsequent Recoveries occurred in the related Prepayment Period, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests as follows:

(i) 50% of the Subsequent Recoveries from both Loan Groups shall be allocated as follows:

(a) first, Subsequent Recoveries attributable to the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interests LT1-AA, LT1-A1, and LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been allocated an aggregate amount under this clause (a) equal to aggregate Realized Losses allocated to such REMIC 1 Regular Interest under paragraph “fourteenth” of Section 4.06(c)(i);

(b) second, Subsequent Recoveries attributable to the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interests LT1-AA, LT1-A2, and LT1-ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been allocated an aggregate amount under this clause (a) equal to aggregate Realized Losses allocated to such REMIC 1 Regular Interest under paragraph “thirteenth” of Section 4.06(c)(i);

(c) third, Subsequent Recoveries attributable to the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interests LT1-AA and LT1-ZZ, 98% and 1%, respectively, and 1% pro rata among REMIC 1 Regular Interests LT1-A3, LT1-A4, and LT1-A5, until each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has been allocated an aggregate amount under this clause (a) equal to aggregate Realized Losses allocated to such REMIC 1 Regular Interest under paragraph “fifteenth” of Section 4.06(c)(i); and

(d) fourth, the rest shall be allocated among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the same proportions and amounts, but in the reverse order, as Realized Losses were allocated under Section 4.06(c)(i), paragraphs “first” through “twelfth”.

127

(ii) 50% of the Subsequent Recoveries from both Loan Groups shall be allocated in the same proportions, but in reverse order, as the Realized Losses were allocated under Section 4.06(c)(ii).

Section 4.07 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.

Section 4.08 Commission Reporting.

(a) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards and applicable regulations, file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system, a Form 8‑K with a copy of the statement to Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an Exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30, in the year following the year of execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall file in accordance with industry standards a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable, unless notified by the Depositor by January 10 or the preceding Business Day of such year not to file such a Form 15 with respect to the Trust Fund. Prior to March 30, in the year following the year of execution of this Agreement, the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee shall file a Form 10‑K, in substance conforming to industry standards and applicable regulations, with respect to the Trust Fund together with the accompanying certification described below. The Trustee shall provide the Form 10‑K to the Depositor by March 20 (or the preceding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) of the year that such Form 10‑K is required to be filed. The Depositor shall execute such Form 10‑K and return the original to the Trustee by March 25 (or the preceding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day). The Trustee shall prepare, execute, file and deliver on behalf of the Depositor Form 8-Ks required to be filed under the Exchange Act so long as no certification in respect of such Form 8-K is required by the Commission. The Depositor shall prepare and the appropriate person shall execute, in accordance with the Exchange Act or any other applicable law, any certification required under the Exchange Act or any other applicable law to accompany the Form 10‑K or any other periodic report. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not execute the Form 10-K on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, 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 Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section.

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES

Section 5.01 The Certificates.

(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in REMIC 1.

The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A‑1through A‑20. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.

Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Trustee and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(b) The Book Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book‑Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of the Book‑Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold the Book‑Entry Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to the Book‑Entry Certificates through the book‑entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book‑Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book‑Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book‑Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book‑Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book‑Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and if the Trustee is not the Book‑Entry Custodian, the Trustee and any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book‑Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book‑Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book‑Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, successor Trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book‑Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book‑Entry Certificates by the Book‑Entry Custodian.

129

The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book‑Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book‑Entry Certificates for the purposes of the exercise by Certificateholders of the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book‑Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. The Depositor is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust the Letter of Representations to be submitted on behalf of the Trust to the Depository and to perform the obligations of the Issuer (as defined in the Letter of Representations) thereunder. The Trustee is hereby authorized to execute and deliver as agent of the Trust the Letter of Representations to be submitted on behalf of the Trust to the Depository and to perform the obligations of the agent thereunder. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book‑Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book‑entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book‑Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book‑entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book‑Entry Certificates by the Book‑Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book‑Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book‑Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references

130

herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

(b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class B Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer of any Class B Certificate to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial sale of the Class B Certificates to the initial purchasers or the initial issuance thereof), then the Trustee shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate from the Class B Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J‑1A hereto and a certificate from such Class B Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J‑1B hereto (which in the case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Class B Certificateholder and the Class B Certificateholder’s prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such certification). In the event of any such transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller, (ii) the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Seller to an Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the depositor of which is an Affiliate of the Seller, (iii) the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by an Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or to a trust, the depositor of which is one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or (iv) a subsequent transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates to the Seller or its designee by such entity or trust described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above to which the Certificates were previously transferred in reliance on clauses (ii) or (iii) above) (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J‑2) under the 1933 Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in‑house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder

131

of a Class B Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Trust Fund against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(c) Each Transferee of a Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets as defined below, (b) it has acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 90-59 at 55 F.R. 36724 (1990), as such PTE is further amended by PTE 2000‑58, 65 F. R. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002‑41, 67 F.R. 163 (August 22, 2002) (the “Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including that each of the Cap Agreements is an “eligible yield supplement agreement” within the meaning of PTE 2000-58 and that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB‑” (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency, or (c) the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an “insurance company general account” (as defined in U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95‑60, and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95‑60 have been satisfied. Each transferee of a Class B Certificate shall be deemed to have represented by its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that the conditions in clause (a) or clause (c)(i), (ii) and (iii) have been satisfied.

No transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3‑101 (“Plan Assets”) unless the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be required in connection with the (i) initial transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller, (ii) the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Seller to an Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the depositor of which is an Affiliate of the Seller, (iii) the transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates by an Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or to a trust the depositor of which is one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or (iv) a subsequent transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates to the Seller or its designee by such entity or

132

trust described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above to which the Certificates were previously transferred in reliance on clauses (ii) or (iii) above (in which case, the Depositor, the Seller, any such Affiliate and such entities sponsored by such Affiliate shall have deemed to have represented that the applicable transferee is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of each transferee, the Seller or such an Affiliate. Each transferee of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall sign a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit I to demonstrate its compliance with this Section 5.02(c) (other than in connection with the (i) initial transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller, (ii) the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Seller to an Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the depositor of which is an Affiliate of the Seller, (iii) the transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates by an Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or to a trust the depositor of which is one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or (iv) a subsequent transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates to the Seller or its designee by such entity or trust described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above to which the Certificates were previously transferred in reliance on clauses (ii) or (iii) above).

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

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

(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

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

133

B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.

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

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

(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(1) of the Code on such transfer.

134

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of any of the Other NIM Notes, the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer) or the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee designated from time to time for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

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

Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

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

135

Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE VI
THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR

Section 6.01 Liability of the Master Servicer and the Depositor.

The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master Servicer herein.

Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer.

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Other NIM Notes, the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates and the shadow rating of the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer) in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies to the Trustee).

136

Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Others.

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder), the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.

The Master Servicer (except the Trustee to the extent it has succeeded the Master Servicer as required hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Depositor and the Trust Fund harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor or the Trust Fund may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Master

137

Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Master Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and/or the Trust Fund in respect of such claim. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee) that such resignation will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of any of the Other NIM Notes, the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B Certificates or the shadow rating of the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer). Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Master Servicer from designating a Sub‑Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub‑Servicer shall be a third‑party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub‑Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.

Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub‑Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub‑Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such Sub‑Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such

138

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

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT

Section 7.01 Master Servicer Events of Default.

“Master Servicer Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.04) required to be made under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor, the Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or

(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days (30 days in the case of any failure to maintain a Sub‑Servicing Agreement with an eligible Sub‑Servicer to the extent required in accordance with Section 3.02(c)) after the earlier of (i) the date on which

139

written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Representative of the Master Servicer; or

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding‑up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the Master Servicer in good faith, such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment; or

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

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

(vi) any failure by the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer Termination Test; or

(vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make, or cause an Advancing Person to make, any Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.04 which continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master Servicer Remittance Date; or

(viii) the Master Servicer ceases to be an approved seller or servicer of Xxxxxx Xxx.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer (and to

140

the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (vii) or (viii) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (delivered immediately by facsimile and effective on the date of acknowledgement of receipt in the case of a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii)), the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney‑in‑fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, or any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, any of the Trust REMICs or this Agreement.

The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

141

Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master 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 and arising thereafter, which shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.04; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.04; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the servicing transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the Master Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Master Servicer to act as successor Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. After the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, notwithstanding the above and subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans, or if the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency, having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

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

142

Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a successor Master Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of a successor Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master Servicer. The Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 7.02 (including the Trustee or any affiliate thereof). Such public announcement shall specify that the successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to the servicing compensation agreed upon between the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer and the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the Servicing Fee. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the Trustee with the cooperation of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price they will pay to obtain such servicing. The Trustee, upon receipt of the purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the Master Servicer being so removed, after deducting from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities reasonably incurred hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.

(b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 7.02(b), a “Remittance”) because the Master Servicer is the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance is prohibited by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall upon written notice of such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice of termination under Section 7.01, shall be treated as though it had succeeded to the Master Servicer and shall advance the amount of such Remittance by depositing such amount in the Distribution Account on the related Distribution Date. The Trustee shall be obligated to make such advance only if (i) such advance, in the good faith judgment of the Trustee can reasonably be expected to be ultimately recoverable from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trustee is not prohibited by law from making such advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon remittance of the Stayed Funds to the Trustee or the deposit thereof in the Distribution Account by the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may recover the amount so advanced, without interest, by withdrawing such amount from the Distribution Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to affect the Trustee’s rights to recover from the Master Servicer’s own funds interest on the amount of any such advance. If the Trustee at any time makes an advance under this Subsection which it later determines in its good faith judgment will not be ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with respect to which such advance was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such advance, without interest, by withdrawing from the Distribution Account, out of amounts on deposit therein, an amount equal to the portion of such advance attributable to the Stayed Funds.

Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the NIMS Insurer.

143

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

Section 7.04 Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.

The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the NIMS Insurer (as evidenced by the written consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

144

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

(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

(i) The Trustee may request and rely conclusively upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the manner of obtaining consents and evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe;

(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the NIMS Insurer or such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

145

(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense, or liability from the NIMS Insurer or such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such action;

(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents custodians, nominees or attorneys and shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence of such agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys (as long as such agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys are appointed with due and proper care);

(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account at the direction of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and

(viii) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers (not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

146

(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee, the execution and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee shall not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Section 8.13) or of the Certificates (other than execution and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of the Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer, other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10.

Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.

The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee and may transact banking and/or trust business with the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or their Affiliates.

Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall pay to the Trustee as specified in a separate agreement between the Depositor and the Trustee. The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date and one day’s interest earnings (net of losses) on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. The right to receive the Trustee Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

The Trustee, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its obligations (including, without limitation, its obligation to enter into the Cap Assignment) and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) in any way relating to the failure of the

147

Master Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or (iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, including as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee in respect of the indemnification provided by this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Trustee.

As a limitation on the foregoing with respect to certain expenses of the Trustee, the Trustee shall receive from the Trust Fund amounts with respect to indemnification for counsel fees and expenses (collectively, “Legal Fees”) in connection with any third‑party litigation or other claims alleging violations of laws or regulations relating to consumer lending and/or servicing of the Trust Fund (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) in an amount not greater than $25,000 per month, and $600,000 in the aggregate (with amounts in excess of $25,000 for any month carried‑forward to subsequent months, until the $600,000 aggregate maximum is reached). The Trustee shall have no obligation to incur additional expenses for which reimbursement is limited pursuant to this paragraph in excess of the aggregate limit set forth above unless it has received reasonable security or indemnity for such additional expenses. The Certificateholders shall hold the Trustee harmless for any consequences to such Certificateholders resulting from any failure of the Trustee to incur any such additional expenses in excess of the aforementioned aggregate limit.

(b) Without limiting the Master Servicer’s indemnification obligations under Section 6.03, the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment under this Section 8.05(b) made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Master Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.

Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

148

Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor Trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and to the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, may remove the Trustee and the Depositor may appoint a successor Trustee, acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and to the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor Trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by the NIMS Insurer or such Holders, as applicable, or their attorneys‑in‑fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the NIMS Insurer, the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 8.08.

Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.

Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such

149

successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which Custodian shall become the agent of any successor Trustee hereunder), and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the ratings of any of the Other NIM Notes or of any Class of Certificates or of the shadow ratings of the Insured NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer) by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.10 Appointment of Co‑Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC 1, or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, to act as co‑trustee or co‑trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC 1, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC 1, or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment or the NIMS Insurer shall not have approved such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co‑trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co‑trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof. If such appointment is at the request of the Master Servicer then any expense of the Trustee shall be deemed a Servicing Advance for all purpose of this Agreement, otherwise it will be an expense of the Trustee and will be payable out of the Trustee's funds.

150

n the case of any appointment of a co‑trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co‑trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to REMIC 1, or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co‑trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co‑trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co‑trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co‑trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

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

Section 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.

The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. The Trustee shall initially serve as the Custodian and this Agreement shall serve as the Custodial Agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a substitute Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the consent of the NIMS Insurer, the consent to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall pay any and all fees and expenses of any Custodian (other than the Washington Mutual Custodian) in accordance with each Custodial Agreement. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held by such Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least

151

$10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. In no event shall the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall at all times remain responsible under the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding the fact that certain duties have been assigned to the Custodian (other than the Washington Mutual Custodian), but only to the extent the Trustee is responsible for its own acts hereunder. Any documents delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to a Custodian other than the Trustee, if any, shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for all purposes hereunder; and any documents held by such a Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder.

Section 8.12 Appointment of Office or Agency.

The Trustee will appoint an office or agency in the City of New York where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served.

Section 8.13 Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.

The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:

(i) it is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States.

(ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement, will not violate its charter or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets.

(iii) it has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

(iv) this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Master Servicer and the Depositor, constitutes its valid, legal and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC 1 and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC 1; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. The purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC 1 shall be at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to (a) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer, 100% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC 1 and accrued interest on the Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time from the Due Date as to which interest was last paid by the related Mortgagor or by an advance by the Master Servicer to but not including the first day of the month in which such purchase is to be effected, plus the appraised value of each REO Property, if any, included in REMIC 1, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser selected by the Terminator in its reasonable discretion and (b) if the Terminator is the NIMS Insurer, the greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC 1, plus the appraised value of each REO Property, if any, included in REMIC 1, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser selected by the Terminator in its reasonable discretion, and (B) the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC 1 (as determined by the Terminator, as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 9.01), and any additional amounts necessary to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to pay in full the principal balance of, the NIM Notes and any amounts necessary to reimburse the NIMS Insurer for all amounts paid under the NIMs insurance policy and any other amounts reimbursable or otherwise payable to the NIMS Insurer, in each case, with interest thereon at the applicable rate set forth in the Indenture and to the extent not previously reimbursed or paid.

(b) The Master Servicer shall have the right and, if the Master Servicer does not exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer, shall have the right (the party exercising such right, the “Terminator”) to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC 1 pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC 1 pursuant

153

to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph only if (A) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is equal to or less than 10% of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Closing Date Mortgage Loans. Additionally, if the Terminator is the Master Servicer, the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in REMIC 1 pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph only if the Termination Price (A) is equal to or less than the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC 1 (as determined by the Terminator, as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9.01(c)) and (B) will result in distributions on the Certificates sufficient (together with all amounts received under the Indenture other than on account of the Certificates) to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to pay in full the principal balance of, the NIM Notes and any amounts necessary to reimburse the NIMS Insurer for all amounts paid under the NIMs insurance policy and any other amounts reimbursable or otherwise payable to the NIMS Insurer, in each case, with interest thereon at the applicable rate set forth in the Indenture and to the extent not previously reimbursed or paid (unless the NIMS Insurer consents to a lesser Termination Price). By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree for so long as any NIM Notes are outstanding, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.

(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment in respect of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the related Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or the related Certificates from and after the Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee designated in such notice for purposes of such surrender. The Trustee shall remit to the Master Servicer from such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Master Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Master Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 9.01(d) below. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Representative of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

154

(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non‑tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non‑tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.

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

The Depositor shall also provide such information or data to the NIMS Insurer.

157

(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each Trust REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Master Servicer shall assist the Trustee, to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee to do specific actions in order to assist in the maintenance of such status). The Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions set forth in Section 860F(a) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer a copy of any such advice or opinion. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the assets thereof, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to a Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC 1 will consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g) If any tax is imposed on prohibited transactions of any Trust REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Section 860F(a) of the Code, on the net income from foreclosure property of any such REMIC pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code, or on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or if any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or (iii) otherwise against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

158

(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year commencing after the date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the Trustee’s compliance with this Article X.

(i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject any Trust REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

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

Section 10.03 Trustee, Master Servicer and Depositor Indemnification.

(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust as a result of the location of the Trustee.

Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004‑1
Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2004‑1

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004‑1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2004‑1 (herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account 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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day then the first Business Day following such Distribution Date (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or by wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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 Master Servicer, 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.

A-1-4

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 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.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denomi-nations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, if any, and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, if any, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties is equal to or less than 10% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, may purchase, in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans in the manner and at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust and (iii) the Distribution Date for the Certificates in February, 2034.

Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Transaction entered into between Long Beach Mortgage Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, and Greenwich Capital Derivatives, Inc. ("GCD") (each a "party" and together "the parties") on the Trade Date specified below (the "Transaction").

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA")) (the "Definitions") are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between those definitions and provisions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern.

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between you and us as to the terms and conditions of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and will constitute a Confirmation subject to the terms and conditions of the 1992 Master Agreement (Multicurrency - Cross Border) in the form published by ISDA, which is incorporated by reference hereby, except as expressly modified herein (the "ISDA Form") but without any Schedule except for the election of (i) the laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine other than New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401) as the governing law, (ii) USD as the Termination Currency; (iii) that Party A and Party B will make the representations in Section (a) "Payer Representations" of Part 2 "Tax Representations" of the Schedule to the ISDA Form; and (iv) that the Royal Bank of Scotland, Plc shall be a Credit Support Provider of Party A, and its Deed Poll Guaranty shall be a Credit Support Document.

If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable in the same currency by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

This Confirmation will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to choice of law doctrine other than New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401. Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Confirmation and for such purposes hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. Each party waives any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in the above courts and agrees not to claim that either court is an inconvenient forum. Additionally to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party waives its respective right to jury trial with respect to any suit, action or proceeding arising under, or in connection with, this Confirmation.

In this Confirmation "Party A" means GCD and "Party B" means Long Beach Mortgage Company.

FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated February 3, 2004, between Long
Beach Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser") and Long Beach Mortgage Company, a Delaware
corporation (the "Seller").

         Preliminary Statement

         The Seller intends to sell certain mortgage loans and the yield maintenance agreements to the
Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to
deposit the mortgage loans and the yield maintenance agreements into a mortgage pool constituting the trust
fund. The trust fund will issue fixed rate and adjustable rate asset backed certificates designated as Long
Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-1 Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2004-1 (the "Certificates"). The
Certificates will consist of twenty classes of certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2004 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among
the Purchaser, as depositor, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee") and the Seller,
as master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         The parties hereto agree as follows:

         SECTION 1.         Agreement to Purchase.

         The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before February 5, 2004 (the
"Closing Date"), those certain fixed-rate and adjustable-rate conventional residential mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans") and the yield maintenance agreements, together with all related guarantees, as set forth on
Schedule A attached hereto (the "Yield Maintenance Agreements").

         SECTION 2.         Mortgage Loan Schedule.

         The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to
be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date and the Seller shall prepare or
cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the "Closing Schedule") that shall
describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement. The
Closing Schedule shall conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of
"Mortgage Loan Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall be the Mortgage
Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

C-1

         SECTION 3.         Consideration.

         In consideration for the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements to be purchased
hereunder, the Purchaser shall on the Closing Date, as described in Section 8 hereof, (i) pay to or upon the
order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the "Purchase Price") equal to the net cash sale
proceeds of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-4
Certificates, the Class A-5 Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates and
(ii) deliver to Long Beach Asset Holdings Corp., upon the order of the Seller, the Class C Certificates, the
Class P Certificates, the Class R Certificates, the Class R-CX Certificates and the Class R-PX Certificates
(the "Long Beach Certificates").

         The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser shall be entitled to (i) all
scheduled payments of principal due after February 1, 2004 (the "Cut-off Date"), (ii) all unscheduled
collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans received after January 1, 2004 (other than the portion of such
collections due on or prior to the Cut-off Date), (iii) all other payments of principal due and collected after
the Cut-off Date, and (iv) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date. All
scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off
Date shall belong to the Seller.

         Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all the right,
title and interest of the Purchaser in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements, together
with its rights under this Agreement (other than Section 17 hereof).

         SECTION 4.         Transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements.

         (a)                Possession of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set
over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its
right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements. The
contents of each Mortgage File related to a Mortgage Loan not delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the
Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser and promptly
transferred to the Trustee. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each related Mortgage Note,
the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File shall be vested in the Purchaser and
the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come
into the possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and
shall be delivered promptly to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the Purchaser.

         (b)                Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Seller will, on or prior to the Closing
Date deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee each of the following
documents for each Mortgage Loan:

         (i)                  the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the following form: "Pay to
the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, under the applicable agreement, without
recourse," with all prior and intervening endorsements, showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee or (in the case of not more than 1.00% of the Mortgage
Loans, by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date) a copy of such original Mortgage Note with an
accompanying Lost Note Affidavit executed by the Seller;

C-2

         (ii)                the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and a copy, certified by
the appropriate recording office, of the recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a
power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;

         (iii)               an original Assignment in blank;

         (iv)              the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a complete chain of
assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee or in blank;

         (v)                the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or
substitution agreement, if any; and

         (vi)              the original lender's title insurance policy, (or a copy of the above, in the case
of any Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans) together with all endorsements or riders issued with or subsequent to
the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien or second lien on the
Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such title
policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary report of the title issued by the
title insurance or escrow company.

         The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension
upon a mutual agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser) following the later of the Closing Date and the
date of receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage submit or cause to be submitted for
recording, at no expense to the Purchaser, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each
Assignment referred to in (iii) and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in clause
(iii) above in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee under the applicable
agreement, without recourse." In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of
a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or
cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly
recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments referred to in (iii) and (iv) above shall not be
required to be completed and submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan if each Rating Agency
does not require recordation for such Rating Agency to assign the initial ratings to the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificates , the Class
A-5 Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates, the Series B Certificates and the Other NIM Notes and initial
shadow rating to the Insured NIM Notes, without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS
Insurer; provided, however, each Assignment referred to in (iii) and (iv) above shall be submitted for
recording by the Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense to the Purchaser, Trust Fund or the
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence
of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer
as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (v) if the Seller is not the Master
Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

C-3

If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(ii), Section 4(b)(iii), Section 4(b)(iv), or Section
4(b)(v) above (collectively, the "Recording Documents") has as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording
but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such
public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver
such Recording Documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser, the Trustee or
their designee of a copy of each such Recording Document certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above or
the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original
that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the Purchaser,
the Trustee or their designee upon receipt thereof, and in any event no later than one year after the Closing
Date (except as provided below), of either the original or a copy of such Recording Document certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. In instances where, due to
a delay on the part of the applicable recording office where any such Recording Documents have been delivered
for recordation, the Recording Documents cannot be delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee
within one year after the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their
designee within such time period an Officer's Certificate stating the date by which the Seller expects to
receive such Recording Documents from the applicable recording office. If the Recording Documents have still
not been received by the Seller and delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee by such date, the
Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee by such date an additional Officer's
Certificate stating a revised date by which Seller expects to receive the applicable Recording Documents. This
procedure shall be repeated until the Recording Documents have been received by the Seller and delivered to the
Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee. If the original or copy of the lender's title insurance policy was
not delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee promptly after receipt thereof, and in any event within 120 days after
the Closing Date such title insurance policy. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited
to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not delivered to the Purchaser, the
Trustee or their designee, if held by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, the
Trustee or their designees. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of
this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Purchaser, the
Trustee or their designee. Any such original document that is not required pursuant to the terms of this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File shall be held by the Seller in its capacity as Master Servicer.

         (c)                Acceptance of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)
hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time
before, on and after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered after the

representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are not correct, such Mortgage Loans shall be
deleted from the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to the Seller,
purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact
that the Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of
the related Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

C-7

         SECTION 6.         Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Individual Mortgage
Loans.

         The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, that as of the Closing Date with respect
to each Mortgage Loan:

         (i)                  The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to each
Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date, unless another
date is set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

         (ii)                [reserved];

         (iii)               Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first or second lien on the Mortgaged
Property, including all improvements thereon, subject only to (a) the lien of non-delinquent current real
property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record
being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in
connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan and which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, (c) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be
provided by such Mortgage and (d) in the case of a second lien, only to a first lien on such Mortgaged Property;

         (iv)              Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the
Seller had good title to, and was the sole legal and beneficial owner of, each Mortgage Loan, free and clear of
any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and has full right and authority, subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party to sell and assign the same. The form of endorsement of
each Mortgage Note satisfied the requirement, if any, of endorsement in order to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note; and each
Assignment to be delivered hereunder is in recordable form and is sufficient to effect the assignment of and to
transfer to the assignee thereunder the benefits of the assignor, as mortgagee or assignee thereof, under each
Mortgage to which that Assignment relates;

         (v)                To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no delinquent tax or assessment
lien against any Mortgaged Property;

         (vi)              There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note (including
any obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note) or the
Mortgage, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of
any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject
to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

C-8

         (vii)             To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there are no mechanics' liens or claims for
work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with,
the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred
to in (xi) below;

         (viii)           To the best of the Seller's knowledge, each Mortgaged Property is free of material
damage and is at least in average repair;

         (ix)              Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable
local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, predatory and abusive lending, usury, equal
credit opportunity, real estate settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the receipt of interest does not involve
the violation of any such laws;

         (x)                Neither the Seller nor any prior holder of any Mortgage has modified the Mortgage
in any material respect, satisfied, canceled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or in part; released the
related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of
release, cancellation, modification or satisfaction with respect thereto (except that a Mortgage Loan may have
been modified by a written instrument signed by the Seller or a prior holder of the Mortgage Loan which has
been recorded, if necessary, to protect the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser and which has been
delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser as part of the Mortgage
File, and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule);

         (xi)              A lender's policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement and
extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, and, with respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, an
adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in an amount at least equal to the balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the
Cut-off Date or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the origination of each
Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect, the transfer of the related
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser and the Trustee does not affect the validity or enforceability of such policy
and each such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac on the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, which policy insures the Seller and
successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the first or second, as the case may
be, priority lien of the Mortgage; to the best of the Seller's knowledge, no claims have been made under such
mortgage title insurance policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such mortgage title insurance policy;

C-9

         (xii)             Each Mortgage Loan was originated by, or generated on behalf of, the Seller, or
originated by a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or
similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee
approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National
Housing Act;

         (xiii)           With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, on each Adjustment Date, the
Mortgage Rate will be adjusted to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin, rounded to the nearest 0.125%, subject
to the Periodic Rate Cap, the Maximum Mortgage Rate and the Minimum Mortgage Rate. The related Mortgage Note
is payable on the first day of each month in self-amortizing monthly installments of principal and interest,
with interest payable in arrears, and requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over its remaining term and to pay interest at the
applicable Mortgage Rate. No Mortgage Loan is subject to negative amortization. All rate adjustments have
been performed in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note or subsequent modifications, if any;

         (xiv)           To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all of the improvements which were included for
the purpose of determining the Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property;

         (xv)            All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect
to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same,
including but not limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities and to the best of the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law;

         (xvi)           All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest,
were) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located;

         (xvii)         The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Mortgagor enforceable against the Mortgagor by the mortgagee or its
representative in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by law. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
had full legal capacity to execute all Mortgage Loan documents and to convey the estate purported to be
conveyed by the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and validly executed by such
parties;

C-10

         (xviii)        The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, there is no requirement
for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and
expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loans were paid;

         (xix)           The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the
rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's
sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the
Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right
to foreclose the Mortgage;

         (xx)            With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in
such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the
deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

         (xxi)           There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if such are
required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or
payments of other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note;

         (xxii)         The origination, underwriting and collection practices used by the Seller with respect
to each Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the subprime
mortgage servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan is currently being serviced by Washington Mutual Bank, FA;

         (xxiii)        There is no pledged account or other security other than real estate securing the
Mortgagor's obligations;

         (xxiv)       No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent interest feature;

         (xxv)         [reserved];

C-11

         (xxvi)       The improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard
insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire extended coverage and coverage of
such other hazards as are customarily covered by hazard insurance policies with extended coverage in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located representing coverage not less than the lesser of the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss
on a replacement cost basis. All individual insurance policies and flood policies referred to in this clause
(xxvi) and in clause (xxvii) below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller or the original
mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and the Seller has received no notice that any
premiums due and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain all such insurance, including flood insurance, at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at
the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

         (xxvii)      If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as subject to special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such
Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage not less than the
least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required
to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973;

         (xxviii)    There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and neither the Seller nor any other entity involved in originating or
servicing the Mortgage Loan has waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;

         (xxix)       Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family residential dwelling,
including condominium units and dwelling units in planned unit developments, which, to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, does not include cooperatives and does not constitute property other than real property under state
law;

         (xxx)         There is no obligation on the part of the Seller or any other party under the terms of
the Mortgage or related Mortgage Note to make payments in addition to those made by the Mortgagor;

         (xxxi)       Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the
outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears
a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The
consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

C-12

         (xxxii)      Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Seller's underwriting
guidelines as described in the Prospectus Supplement as applicable to its credit grade in all material respects;

         (xxxiii)    Each appraisal of a Mortgage Loan that was used to determine the appraised value of the
related Mortgaged Property was conducted generally in accordance with the Seller's underwriting guidelines, and
included an assessment by the appraiser of the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time
of the appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the applicable Mortgaged Property;

         (xxxiv)    None of the Mortgage Loans is a graduated payment Mortgage Loan, nor is any Mortgage Loan
subject to a temporary buydown or similar arrangement;

         (xxxv)     As of the Cut-off Date, there were no Mortgage Loans with respect to which the monthly
payment due thereon in January, 2003 had not been made, none of the Mortgage Loans has been contractually
delinquent for more than 30 days more than once during the preceding twelve months and, no Mortgage Loan has
ever experienced a delinquency of 60 or more days since the origination thereof;

         (xxxvi)    Each Mortgage contains a provision that is, to the extent not prohibited by federal or
state law, enforceable for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the
mortgagee thereunder;

         (xxxvii) To the best of the Seller's knowledge no misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar
occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including, without
limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan;

         (xxxviii) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code;

in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is furnished and each
Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms under applicable law upon the

limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors'
rights generally; or (2) the collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection with a

Prepayment Charge for a term in excess of five years from the date of its origination and no Mortgage Loan
originated on or after October 1, 2002 has a prepayment charge for a term in excess of three years from the
date of its origination;

C-13

         (xl)              The Loan-to-Value Ratio for each Mortgage Loan was no greater than 100% at the time
of origination;

         (xli)             The first date on which each Mortgagor must make a payment on the related Mortgage
Note is no later than 60 days from the date of this Agreement;

         (xlii)           With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgagor shall not fail or has not
failed to make the first Monthly Payment due under the terms of the Mortgage Loan by the second succeeding Due
Date after the Due Date on which such Monthly Payment was due;

         (xliii)          The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by
the Seller pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions
in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, except any as may have been complied with;

the Mortgage Note, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of
the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first
installment of principal and interest;

         (lv)              No Mortgage Loan is a "High Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Arkansas Home Loan
Protection Act effective July 16, 2003 (Act 1340 of 2003);

         (lvi)             No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan
Protection Act effective January 1, 2004 (N.M. Stat. Xx.xx.xx. 58-21A-1 et seq.);

         (lvii)           No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Risk Home Loan" as defined in the Illinois High-Risk Home
Loan Act effective January 1, 2004 (815 Ill. Comp. Stat. 137/1 et seq.);

         (lviii)          Each Group I Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the following
anti-predatory lending guidelines:

C-15

         a.                   Each Group I Mortgage Loan satisfies the eligibility for purchase requirements
and was originated in compliance with Lender Letter # LL03-00 dated April 11, 2000 for Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx (the
"Lender Letter");

         b.                  No borrower was encouraged or required by the Seller to select a Group I Mortgage
Loan product offered by the Group I Mortgage Loan's originator which is a higher cost product designed for less
creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Group I Mortgage Loan's origination, such borrower did not
qualify taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then
offered by the Group I Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the Group I Mortgage Loan's originator;

         c.                   The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Group I
Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate the borrower's income, assets and
liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the
borrower's equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension.
Such underwriting methodology provided reasonable assurance that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the borrower had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Group I Mortgage
Loan;

         d.                  With respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting
imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity, (i) the Seller's pricing methods include mortgage
loans with and without prepayment premiums; borrowers selecting Group I Mortgage Loans which include such
prepayment premiums receive a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, in
exchange for selecting a Group I Mortgage Loan with a prepayment premium, (ii) prior to the Group I Mortgage
Loan's origination, the borrower had the opportunity to choose between an array of mortgage loan products which
included mortgage loan products with prepayment premiums and mortgage loan products that did not require
payment of such a premium, (iii) the prepayment premium is disclosed to the borrower in the loan documents
pursuant to applicable state and federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the
contrary, the Master Servicer shall not impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the mortgage debt
is accelerated as the result of the borrower's default in making the loan payments;

         e.                   All points and fees related to each Group I Mortgage Loan were disclosed in
writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law. Except in the case of a Group I
Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable
origination, no borrower was charged "points and fees" (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than 5%
of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation calculated in accordance with the Lender Letter;

         f.                    All fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed,
assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Group I
Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal
law and regulation; and

C-16

         (lix)             No Group I Mortgage Loan had a principal balance at origination in excess of Xxxxxx
Mae's conforming loan balance limitations for single family loans set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Charter Act and
the Xxxxxx Mae Selling Guide in effect at the time of such Group I Mortgage Loan's origination.

         (lx)              With respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan, information regarding the borrower
credit file related to such Mortgage Loan has been furnished to credit reporting agencies in compliance with
the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the applicable implementing regulations.

         (lxi)             No Group I Mortgage Loan had a principal balance at origination in excess of Xxxxxxx
Mac's dollar amount limits for one-to-four-family mortgage loans in effect at the time of such Group I Mortgage
Loan's origination.

         SECTION 7.         Repurchase Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation
and Warranty.

         (a)                The representations and warranties contained in Section 5(ix) and Section 6 shall
not be impaired by any review and examination of loan files or other documents evidencing or relating to the
Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine such documents
and shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee
for the benefit of holders of asset-backed certificates evidencing an interest in all or a portion of the
Mortgage Loans. With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein which are made to the
knowledge or the best of knowledge of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is
discovered that the substance of any such representation and warranty was inaccurate as of the date such
representation and warranty was made or deemed to be made, and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's assignee,
transferee or designee, then notwithstanding the lack of knowledge by the Seller with respect to the substance
of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, the
Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraph in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

         Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser
of any materially defective document in, or that any material document was not transferred by the Seller (as
listed on the Trustee's initial certification), as part of any Mortgage File or of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6 that materially and adversely affects the
value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee
(it being understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in the last sentence of
(xxxix), (xlvi) and the first sentence of (xlvii) of Section 6 herein, a breach of any such representation or
warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest therein of the
Purchaser and the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee) in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. Within ninety (90) days of the earlier of the discovery
or the Seller's receipt of notice of any such missing documentation which was not transferred to the Purchaser
as described above or materially defective documentation or any such breach of a representation and warranty,
the Seller promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects,
or in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing document or such defect or breach cannot be cured, the

C-17

Seller shall, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage
Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii)
pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from
the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that in the
case of a breach of the representation and warranty concerning the Mortgage Loan Schedule contained in Section
6(i), if such breach relates to any field on the Mortgage Loan Schedule which identifies any Prepayment Charge
and such Prepayment Charge has been triggered pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note, then in lieu
of purchasing such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement), the Seller shall pay the amount of the incorrectly identified Prepayment Charge (net of
any amount previously collected by or paid to the Trust Fund in respect of such Prepayment Charge), and the
Seller shall have no obligation to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan. In the event of a
substitution permitted hereunder, the Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of each
removed Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the addition
of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s). The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended Closing
Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement within five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price (as defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any remedy by the Seller for a breach of a representation or warranty
that materially and adversely affects the value of any Prepayment Charge shall be made in a manner consistent
with Section 2.03(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         (b)                It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Section 7 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the
Purchaser against the Seller respecting a missing or defective document or a breach of the representations and
warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6.

         SECTION 8.         Closing; Payment for the Mortgage Loans.

         The closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements shall
be held at the Seattle office of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx White & XxXxxxxxx LLP at 9:30 am New York time on the Closing
Date (or such other location or time as is mutually agreeable to the parties).

         The Purchaser's obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject
to each of the following conditions:

         (a)                All of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement shall
be true and correct in all material respects as of the date as of which they are made and no event shall have
occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement;

C-18

         (b)                The Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the Purchaser shall have
received in escrow (to be released from escrow at the time of closing), all Closing Documents as specified in
Section 9 of this Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by
all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the respective terms thereof;

         (c)                The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered and released to the
Purchaser or to its designee, all documents (including without limitation, the Mortgage Loans) required to be
so delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

         (d)                All other terms and conditions of this Agreement to be complied with by Seller,
shall have been complied with.

         Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Seller on the Closing Date, against delivery and release by the Seller to the Trustee of all documents required
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consideration for the Mortgage Loans and the Yield
Maintenance Agreements as specified in Section 3 of this Agreement, by delivery to the Seller of the Purchase
Price in immediately available funds and delivery of the Long Beach Certificates to Long Beach Asset Holdings
Corp.

         SECTION 9.         Closing Documents.

         Without limiting the generality of Section 8 hereof, the closing shall be subject to delivery of each
of the following documents:

         (a)                An Officers' Certificate of the Seller, dated the Closing Date, upon which the
Purchaser and Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (the "Representative") and the NIMS Insurer, if any, may rely and
attached thereto copies of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and certificate of good standing of the
Seller under the laws of the State of Delaware;

         (b)                An Officers' Certificate of the Seller, dated the Closing Date, upon which the
Purchaser, the Representative and the NIMS Insurer, if any, may rely, with respect to certain facts regarding
the sale of the Mortgage Loans, by the Seller to the Purchaser;

         (c)                An Opinion of Counsel of the Seller (which may be in-house counsel of the Seller),
dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Purchaser, the Representative and the NIMS Insurer, if any;

         (d)                Such opinions of counsel as the Rating Agencies, the Representative, the Trustee or
the NIMS Insurer, if any, may reasonably request in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans and the
Yield Maintenance Agreements by the Seller to the Purchaser or the Seller's execution and delivery of, or
performance under, this Agreement;

C-19

         (e)                A letter from Deloitte & Touche L.L.P., certified public accountants, dated the
date hereof and to the effect that they have performed certain specified procedures as a result of which they
determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement under the captions "Summary of Terms--Mortgage Loans", "Risk Factors", "The Mortgage Pool"
and "Long Beach Mortgage Company" agrees with the records of the Seller;

         (f)                 The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser for inclusion in the Prospectus
Supplement under the caption "Long Beach Mortgage Company" or for inclusion in other offering materials, such
publicly available information regarding the Seller, its financial condition and its mortgage loan delinquency,
foreclosure and loss experience, underwriting standards, lending activities and loan sales, production, and
servicing and collection practices, and any similar nonpublic, unaudited financial information and a computer
tape with respect to the pool information, as the Representative may reasonably request;

         (g)                Letters from at least two nationally recognized statistical rating agencies rating

         (h)                Such further information, certificates, opinions and documents as the Purchaser or
the Representative may reasonably request.

         SECTION 10.      Costs.

         The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person to the extent that the
Purchaser or such other Person shall pay) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and
delivery of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements, including without limitation, recording
fees, fees for title policy endorsements and continuations and the fees for recording Assignments, the fees and
expenses of the Seller's in-house accountants and in-house attorneys, the costs and expenses incurred in
connection with determining the Seller's loan loss, foreclosure and delinquency experience, the costs and

any opinions of outside special counsel that may be required for the Seller and the fees charged by any Rating
Agency to rate the Certificates. All other costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated

C-20

         SECTION 11.      Servicing.

         The Seller has represented to the Purchaser that the Mortgage Loans are being serviced in accordance
with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and it is understood and agreed by and between the
Seller and the Purchaser that any interim servicing arrangements with the Seller will be superseded by the
servicing arrangements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 12.      Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.

         The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and
agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the Closing Date and that an award of money
damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser
in the event of the Seller's failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date.

         The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Seller's
interest in each Mortgage Loan and each Yield Maintenance Agreement, and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan and each Yield Maintenance Agreement to secure the performance by the Seller
of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans and such Yield Maintenance
Agreements in custody for the Purchaser, subject to (i) the Purchaser's right, prior to the Closing Date, to
reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement and (ii) the Purchaser's obligation to
deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements
pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loan rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be
automatically released from the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of
the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of
payment to the Seller, that any security interest held by the Seller in such Mortgage Loans and such Yield
Maintenance Agreements shall be released.

         All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with,
any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies
may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing
Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall
not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or shall not have delivered or caused to be delivered
the Long Beach Certificates to Long Beach Asset Holding Corp., or any such condition shall not have been waived
or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price or not to deliver
or cause to be delivered the Long Beach Certificates to Long Beach Asset Holding Corp, the Purchaser shall
immediately effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred and any security interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to have been
released.

         SECTION 13.      Notices.

C-21

         All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex or
telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at 0000
Xxxxx Xxx., XXX0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: LBSC Legal Counsel, or such other address as may
hereafter be furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser; if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at
0000 Xxxxx Xxx., XXX0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: LBMC Legal Counsel, or to such other address as the
Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser.

         SECTION 14.      Severability of Provisions.

         Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable
or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or
renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

         SECTION 15.      Agreement of Parties.

         The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments (including UCC
financing statements and continuation statements) and take such actions as either of the others may, from time
to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 16.      Survival.

         The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser
and its successors and assigns, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser
or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any
such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and the
Yield Maintenance Agreements and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

         SECTION 17.      Indemnification, Representative.

         (a)                The Seller indemnifies and holds harmless the Purchaser, the Purchaser's officers
and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or Section 20 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the
"Exchange Act"), as follows:

C-22

         (i)                  against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof, including, but not
limited to, any loss, claim, expense, damage or liability related to purchases and sales of the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificates, the Class A-5
Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not
misleading; and will reimburse, as incurred, the Purchaser and each such controlling person for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with
investigating, defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Seller will be liable in
any such case only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon
an untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Purchaser by the Seller specifically for use in the
preparation thereof (the "Seller's Prospectus Supplement Information");

         (ii)                against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, to the
extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with
the written consent of the Seller; and

         (iii)               against any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of
counsel chosen by the Purchaser, subject to Section 17(c) below), reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any
such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or
clause (ii) above.

         This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Seller may otherwise have.

         (b)                The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of its
directors, each of its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, expenses,

C-23

damages or liabilities to which the Seller or any such director, officer or controlling person may become
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, other than in the Seller's Prospectus Supplement
Information, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading,
and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller or any such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Purchaser may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 17 of notice of
the commencement of any action described therein, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 17, notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying
party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 17 unless the
indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission to notify and in any event the failure to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party
otherwise than under this Agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish to do so, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who
shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party
to such indemnified party under this Section 17, such indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation and preparation for a defense.

Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party
in writing (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more
legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ
separate counsel; (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified
party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not
have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the
indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being
understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations

C-24

or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys
(in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in
writing (i) by the Seller if the indemnified parties under this Section 17 consist of the Seller or any of its
officers, directors or controlling persons, or (ii) the Purchaser, if the indemnified party under this
Section 17 consist of the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser's directors, officers or controlling persons.

         Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Section 17(a) and
Section 17(b), shall use its reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any
such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected
without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if
settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability (to the extent set forth in Section 17(a) or Section 17(b) as applicable) by reason of such
settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such
settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims
that are the subject of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

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

         (d)                If the indemnification provided for in Section 17(a) or 17(b) is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying
party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller on the
other from the offering of the Underwritten Certificates (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of the Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. If the indemnification provided for in Section 17(b) is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the indemnified party under Section 17(b), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
in Section 17(b) in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Purchaser on one hand
and the Seller on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller on the other shall be deemed to be in the same

C-25

proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Purchaser
bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters (as defined in the
Prospectus Supplement). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Purchaser or by the Seller and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to above in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action
or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

         SECTION 18.      Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Yield Maintenance
Agreements.

         The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, that as of the Closing Date with respect
to each Yield Maintenance Agreement:

         (a)                Immediately prior to the assignment of the Yield Maintenance Agreement to the
Purchaser, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole legal and beneficial owner of, the Yield Maintenance
Agreement, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity or encumbrance of any
kind created by the Seller, and has full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or
agreement with, any other party to sell and assign the same. Upon the delivery, transfer or assignment of the
Yield Maintenance Agreement to the Purchaser as contemplated herein, the Purchaser will receive the Yield
Maintenance Agreement, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity or
encumbrance of any kind created by the Seller;

         (b)                Each Yield Maintenance Agreement constitutes "general intangibles" within the
meaning of the applicable UCC;

         (c)                The Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of each
Yield Maintenance Agreement for the sale of such Yield Maintenance Agreement hereunder to the Purchaser;

         (d)                The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the Closing Date,
the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions
under applicable law as necessary to perfect the security interest in each Yield Maintenance Agreement granted
to the Purchaser hereunder; and

C-26

         (e)                The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
statements against Seller that include a description of collateral covering either of the Yield Maintenance
Agreements other than any financing statement (a) relating to the security interest granted to the Purchaser
hereunder or (b) that has been terminated.

         SECTION 19.      Governing Law.

         THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF
THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS
OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO
THIS AGREEMENT.

         SECTION 20.      Miscellaneous.

         This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally,
but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and
shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

         It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield
Maintenance Agreements by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as,
a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a
pledge of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a
debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent
of the parties, the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements are held to be property of the Seller,
then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans
and the Yield Maintenance Agreements by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the Yield Maintenance Agreements and all amounts
payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans and the Yield Maintenance Agreements in accordance with the terms
thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from
time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or
other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Mortgage Notes, the Yield Maintenance
Agreements, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for purposes of

C-27

perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4)
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons
holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from,
financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such
security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section
4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and
the Purchaser 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 Yield
Maintenance Agreements, 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 this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 21. Third Party Beneficiary.

Each of the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof (except
with respect to Section 17) and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof as if a party hereto, except
the provisions of Section 17 hereof. The Co-Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters (as defined in the
Prospectus Supplement), shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof solely with respect to Section 17 and shall
be entitled to enforce the provisions of Section 17 as if it were a party hereto.

C-28

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their names to be signed
by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

FOR TRANSFERS OF THE Class B Certificates

[Date]

[TRUSTEE]

Re: Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-1, Asset-Backed Certificates Series 2004-1 (the "Class B Certificates")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This certificate is being delivered in connection with the sale by [___________________] (the "Transferor") to [_______________] (the "Transferee") of Class B Certificates having an Initial Certificate Principal Balance as of February 5, 2004 (the "Closing Date") of [$____________] (the "Transferred Certificates"). The Class B Certificates, including the Transferred Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2004 (the "Agreement") among Long Beach Securities Corp., as depositor (the "Depositor"), Long Beach Mortgage Company, as master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Trustee, and for the benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Fund and the Transferee, that:

1. The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Certificates with the full right to transfer such Class B Certificates free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.

2. Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Transferred Certificate under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or would render the disposition of any Transferred Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any Transferred Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

J-1A-1

3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") under the Securities Act (a "Qualified Institutional Buyer") purchasing for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following method(s) of establishing the Transferee's ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):

___ (a) The Transferee's most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificate in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or

___ (b) The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificate in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or

___ (c) The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificate in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or

___ (d) A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a "family of investment companies", as that term is defined in Rule 144A, a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the "family of investment companies" as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year.

4. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:

J-1A-2

(a) the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee; if the Transferee is a dealer securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee as a participant in a public offering; securities of issuers that are part of the Transferee's "family of investment companies", if the Transferee is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;

(b) the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market;

(c) securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.

5. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

6. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information requested by the Transferee regarding (a) the Transferred Certificates and payments thereon, (b) the nature and performance of the Mortgage Loans, (c) the Agreement, and (d) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Transferred Certificates.
