WITNESSETH THAT

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Swap Agreement, (ii) the Swap Account, (iii) the Net WAC Cap Account, (iv) the Cap Agreement, (v) the Cap Account, (vi) the Final Maturity Reserve Fund and (vii) the External Trust (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative “REMIC 1,” “REMIC 2,” and “REMIC 3”). Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections.

Each Offered Certificate represents ownership of a regular interest in the REMIC 3 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Offered Certificate represents (i) the right to receive payments with respect to any Net WAC Cap Carryover and (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls.

The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, and REMIC 3.

The Class X Certificate represents ownership of four regular interests in REMIC 3 as described in footnote (16) as well as ownership of the Excluded Trust Assets and the obligation to make Net Swap Payments to the Swap Counterparty and the obligation to make payments in respect of Net WAC Cap Carryover.

REMIC 3 shall hold as assets the uncertificated lower tier interests in REMIC 2, other than the Class R-2 interest, and each such lower tier interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated lower tier interests in REMIC 1, other than the Class R-1 interest, and each such lower tier interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the lower tier interests in REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 and the Excluded Trust Assets.

The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

REMIC 1

The following table sets forth the designations, initial principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 1, each of which (other than the Class R-1 Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1 (the “REMIC 1 Regular Interests”):

(1)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be the lesser of (i) the product of (a) the Fixed Rate, as that term is defined in the Swap Agreement, multiplied by (b) in the case of the first Distribution Date only, the quotient of 54 divided by 30, and for each Distribution Date thereafter, two, and (ii) the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate (without adjustment for the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate) multiplied by (b) two.

(2)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate (without adjustment for the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate) multiplied by (b) two, over (ii) the product of (a) the Fixed Rate, as that term is defined in the Swap Agreement, multiplied by (b) for the first Distribution Date only, the quotient of 54 divided by 30, and for each Distribution Date thereafter, two.

(3)	For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), the Net WAC Rate (without adjustment for the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate).

(4)	The Class R-1 interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The Class R-1 interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance Amount first to pay fees and expenses of the trust, other than any Net Swap Payment owed to the Counterparty, and then with respect to each of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Principal Remittance Amount sequentially to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, first to the LT- A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then in ascending order of their numerical designation, and, with respect to each pair of REMIC 1 Regular Interests having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such interest, until the principal balance of each such interest is reduced to zero. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

REMIC 2

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 2, each of which (other than the Class R-2 interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 (the “REMIC 2 Regular Interests”):

REMIC 3 Lower Tier Class Designation	REMIC 3 Lower Tier Interest Rate	Initial Class Principal Amount	Corresponding Class of Certificate(s)

(1)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these REMIC 2 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, weighted on the basis of their principal balances as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period, provided, however, that: (i) for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT-Swap-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a REMIC 1 Regular Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote three below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such REMIC 1 Regular Interest to a cap equal to the product of (a) Swap LIBOR (determined pursuant to the Swap Agreement) multiplied by (b) 2 multiplied by (c) the quotient of the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period divided by 30; and (ii) for each Distribution Date on and after the Distribution Date in June 2017, the interest rate on each REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall be first reduced by the product of (a) one-twelfth of the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate and (b) the aggregate principal balance of 40 Year Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period.

(2)

The Class LT-Reserve-IO is and interest-only class that does not have a principal balance. The Class LT-Reserve-IO has a notional balance that will at all times equal the sum of the principal balances of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and it shall accrue interest at a fixed rate of 0.00% for each Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) on or before the Distribution Date in June 2017, and for each Distribution Date on and after the Distribution Date in June 2017, shall accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to the product of (a) one-twelfth of the Final Maturity Reserve Fund Addition Rate and (b) the aggregate principal balance of 40 Year Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period.

(3)

The Class LT-Swap-IO is an interest-only class that does not have a principal balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column in the table below, the Class LT-Swap-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests listed in second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for such REMIC 1 Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) the product of (a) Swap LIBOR (determined pursuant to the Swap Agreement) multiplied by (b) 2 multiplied by (c) the quotient of the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period divided by 30.

(4)	The Class R-2 interest is the sole class of residual interests in REMIC 2. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

On each Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however, that interest that accrues on the Class LT-Accrual Interest shall be deferred in the amount required to make distributions under priority (a) below. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class LT-Accrual Interest. An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other REMIC 2 Regular Interests having a principal balance in the manner described under priority (a) below.

On each Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 in the following order of priority:

(a)

First, to the Class LT-A1, Class LT-A2, Class LT-A3, Class LT-M1, Class LT-M2, Class LT-M3, Class LT-M4, Class LT-M5, Class LT-M6, Class LT-M7, Class LT-M8, Class LT-B1, Class LT-B2, and Class LT-B3 Interests until the principal balance of each such REMIC 2 Regular Interest equals one-half of the Class Certificate Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(b)

Second, to the Class LT-Accrual Interests, any remaining amounts.

REMIC 3

The following table sets forth characteristics of the Certificates, each of which, except for the Class R Certificates, represents ownership of a “regular interest” in REMIC 3 as well as certain contractual rights and obligations, together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be issuable (except that one Certificate of each Class of Certificates may be issued in a different amount and, in addition, one Class R Certificate representing the Tax Matters Person Certificate may be issued in a different amount):

	Initial Class Certificate Balance	Pass-Through Rate(1)	Minimum Denomination	Integral Multiples in Excess of Minimum

⁽¹⁾

As to any Distribution Date, this rate shall equal the lesser of (a) the lesser of (i) the rate per annum set forth above and (ii) 14.00%, and (b) the Net WAC Cap. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the reference to Net WAC Cap in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the REMIC 2 Net WAC Cap. For any Distribution Date on which the Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Certificates is based on the Net WAC Cap, the amount of interest that would have been distributable on such Class if the REMIC 2 Net WAC Cap had been substituted for the Net WAC Cap shall be treated as having actually been paid to the Holders of such Class and then deposited by such Holders into the Swap Account. If for any Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Certificates exceeds the REMIC 2 Net WAC Cap, payments based on such excess shall be deemed to have been made from the Net WAC Cap Account.

For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class X Certificates shall have an initial principal balance of $6,568,925.56 (initial overcollateralization amount), and the right to receive distributions of such amount in the form of Overcollateralization Release Amounts represents a regular interest in the REMIC 3. The Class X Certificate shall also comprise 3 notional components, each of which represents a regular interest in REMIC 3. The first such component has a notional balance that will at all times equal the aggregate of the principal balances of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests, and, for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) this notional component shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) (a) the weighted average of the interest rates on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests (other than the Class LT-Reserve-IO interest and the LT-Swap-IO interest), over (ii) the product of (a) the weighted average of the interest rates on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests (other than the Class LT-Reserve-IO and LT-Swap-IO), computed for this purpose by subjecting the rate on the Class LT-Accrual interest to a cap of 0.00%, and by subjecting the rate on each of the other REMIC 2 Regular Interests to a cap equal to the pass through rate on its Corresponding Class of Certificates (assuming that REMIC 2 Net WAC Cap was substituted for Net WAC Cap in the definition of Pass-Through Rate for such Class) multiplied by (b) two (2) multiplied by (c) the quotient of the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period divided by thirty (30). The second notional component represents the right to receive all distributions in respect of the Class LT-Reserve-IO interest in REMIC 2. The third notional component represent the right to receive all distributions in respect of the Class LT-Swap IO in REMIC 2.

ARTICLE II

CONVEYANCE OF LOANS;

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Loans.

(a) Subject to its substitution and repurchase obligations hereunder, each Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby irrevocably sells, transfers, grants, bargains, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Depositor, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of such Seller in and to that portion of the Loans (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Files relating thereto) listed on the Loan Schedule that pertains to such Seller, including (i) all interest and principal received or receivable by such Seller on or with respect to such Loans after the Cut-off Date and all interest and principal payments on such Loans received on or prior to the Cut-off Date in respect of installments of interest and principal due thereafter, but not including payments of principal and interest due and payable on such Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, and (ii) all Principal Prepayments, Liquidation Proceeds and other unscheduled payments received or receivable on the Loans on the Cut-off Date. On or prior to the Closing Date, each Seller shall deliver to the Depositor or, at the Depositor’s direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor, the Mortgage File for each Loan listed in that portion of the Loan Schedule that pertains to such Seller. Such delivery of the Mortgage Files shall be made against payment by the Depositor of the purchase price, previously agreed to by such Seller and the Depositor, for the Loans listed on the Loan Schedule that pertain to such Seller. With respect to any Loan that does not require the first payment of principal or interest thereon to be made on or before such Loan’s Due Date in the month prior to the first Distribution Date, such Seller shall deposit into the Certificate Account on the Closing Date, an amount equal to one month’s interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of such Loan (the “Initial Certificate Account Deposit”). The Sellers, for the benefit of the Depositor, shall, in connection with the conveyance described in this Section 2.01(a), deliver to the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date the financing statements described in Schedule VI. The Sellers shall also arrange for the delivery to the Depositor or its assignee, as applicable, of any appropriate Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements as may be necessary in connection with the financing statements referenced in the foregoing sentence.

(b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby irrevocably sells, transfers, grants, bargains, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund and the External Trust, together with the Depositor’s right to require the Sellers (and Equity One-Delaware) to cure any breach of a representation or warranty made herein by the Sellers or to repurchase or substitute for any affected Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof. In addition, the Depositor, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall, in connection with the conveyance described in this Section 2.01(b), deliver to the Trustee on or prior to the Closing Date the financing statements described in Schedule VII. The Depositor shall also arrange for the delivery to the Trustee of any appropriate Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements as may be necessary in connection with the financing statements referenced in the foregoing sentence.

(c) In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment set forth in clause (b) above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian for the Trustee on or before the Closing Date, or shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian for the Trustee on or before such later date as is set forth below, for the benefit of the Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each Loan so sold, transferred and assigned:

(i) the original Mortgage Note endorsed (by manual or facsimile signature) as follows: “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Popular ABS, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-A without recourse,” with all intervening endorsements and all riders and modifications showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee (each such endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note);

(ii) except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage;

(iii) an original recorded assignment of the Mortgage (which may be included in a blanket assignment or assignments), duly executed by the appropriate Seller and the Depositor, which assignment will not be delivered on or before the Closing Date, but shall be delivered within the time period set forth in this Section 2.01, together with, except as provided below, all interim recorded assignments of such Mortgage, if any, all riders or modifications to such Mortgage, if any, (each such assignment to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates, with the original to be recorded by the Servicer as follows: the Servicer shall promptly send such assignments for recording, and shall return the original recorded assignment to the Trustee once returned as recorded by the applicable recording office);

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

(v) except as provided below and with respect to Borrower Retention Loans, the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy and all riders thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of providing the documents described in clause (iii) above, the Depositor may at its discretion provide evidence that the related Mortgage is held through the MERS (R) System. With respect to any MOM Loan, the original recorded Mortgage that is provided shall note the MIN of such MOM Loan. Certain Mortgages were or may be, at the sole discretion of the Servicer, originally recorded in the name of MERS (R), solely as nominee for the applicable Seller and its successors or assigns; furthermore, subsequent assignments of such Mortgages were or may be, at the sole discretion of the Servicer, registered electronically through the MERS (R) System. For certain other Loans, (i) the Mortgage was recorded in the name of the Seller, (ii) record ownership was later assigned to MERS (R), solely as nominee for that Seller, and (iii) subsequent assignments of the Mortgage were or may be, at the sole discretion of the Servicer, registered electronically through the MERS (R) System. For each of these Loans, MERS (R) serves as mortgagee of record on the Mortgage solely as a nominee in an administrative capacity on behalf of the Trustee, and does not have any beneficial interest in the Loan.

In the event that in connection with any Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments, if any, or (c) the lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to either the Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, and, in the case of the assignments, if any, of the Mortgage to the Trustee as required under (iii) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original recorded Mortgage or such original recorded assignment, if any, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original recorded Mortgage and each such original recorded assignment, if any, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, and each title policy as required by clause (v) above be made later than one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver within one year following the Closing Date, each original recorded Mortgage, and each such original recorded assignment, if any, or each such title policy by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such assignment, if any, because the related original recorded Mortgage or any related interim recorded assignment have not been returned by the appropriate recording office or, in the case of each title policy, because the title insurer has not received the recording information from the appropriate recording office for such original recorded Mortgage or original recorded assignment, if any, has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Servicer to the Trustee. In the event that the original recorded Mortgage is not delivered and, in connection with the payment in full of the related Loan, the public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where an original recorded Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the appropriate Seller shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Servicer shall (i) affix the Trustee’s name to each assignment of Mortgage, if any, as the assignee thereof as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, (ii) cause such assignment, if any, to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records and (iii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the assignments, if any, of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgages as to which the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form has not yet been received, the Servicer’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

In the case of Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof.

(d) The Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer and the Trustee understand and agree that it is not intended that any Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee of the Trust Fund.

The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the initial certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Tennessee, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies. In the event that the Trustee desires to maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in a state (other than the State of Tennessee) constituting one of the United States of America, the Trustee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to discontinuing possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Tennessee, provide (i) a notice of such intention to the Rating Agencies and the Sellers and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such relocation of the Mortgage Notes and the possession by the Trustee of the Mortgage Notes in such other state will not (a) destroy or impair the perfection by the Trustee of the security interests assigned and granted to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.04 or (b) subject any REMIC to any state tax.

The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Sellers an initial certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such initial certification, the Trustee shall acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to the Loans listed in the Loan Schedule or shall indicate any noted deviations. The Trustee, at the time of delivery of the initial certification, shall be under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether the Mortgage File shall include any of the documents listed in Section 2.01(c), except for the Mortgage Note. Should there be any exceptions to the Trustee’s initial certification as to the Mortgage Notes, the appropriate Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the Closing Date to cure such exception or deliver a Mortgage File or Mortgage Files for a Substitute Loan or Substitute Loans in accordance with Section 2.03(c). A Seller may cure an exception based on absence of a Mortgage Note for a Loan by delivering an executed copy of an Affidavit of Lost Note in the form attached as Annex I to Exhibit D hereto to the Trustee.

Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Sellers a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. At any time upon request (but not more frequently than once per calendar month), the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Sellers, an updated schedule of open exceptions in electronic or written format.

If the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the final certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. In performing any such review, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the Depositor as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Trustee’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.01(c) have been received and further confirming that any and all documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(c) have been executed and relate to the Loans identified in the Loan Schedule. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction. The appropriate Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if such Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, such Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Loan a Substitute Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date such Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any comments by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Servicer or such Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date; provided, that any Loan that does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code shall be subject to a substitution or repurchase as provided in Section 2.05(b) of this Agreement. The Trustee shall deliver a report to each Rating Agency within 720 days from the Closing Date indicating a list of all documents in each Mortgage File in the possession of the Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Loan shall be deposited by such Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit J, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to such Seller and shall execute and deliver at such Seller’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such Seller, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Loan released pursuant hereto.

If, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, a Seller repurchases a Loan that is registered on the MERS (R) System, the Servicer shall cause MERS (R) to execute and deliver an assignment of the related Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS (R) to such Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS (R) System in accordance with MERS’ (R) rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS (R) to designate on the MERS (R) System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Loan.

The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Servicer from time to time.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the appropriate Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against any Seller.

SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Sellers and the Servicer.

(a) (i) The Sellers hereby make the representations and warranties set forth in Schedules IIA through IIE, as applicable and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date; and

(ii) The Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IIX, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.

(b) The Sellers hereby make the representations and warranties set forth in Schedules IIIA through IIIE, as applicable and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.

(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. Each Seller, for itself and not jointly and severally for all other Sellers, hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to any Loan listed on the Loan Schedule that pertains to such Seller, such Seller may, and if such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders such Seller shall, cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, may or shall, as the case may be, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Loan (a “Deleted Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section or (ii) repurchase the affected Loan or Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Loan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Loan that does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code shall be subject to substitution or repurchase as provided in Section 2.05(b) of this Agreement. The appropriate Seller shall promptly reimburse the Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties described in this Section which are made to the best of a Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor, the appropriate Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach by such Seller of the applicable representation or warranty.

With respect to any Substitute Loan or Loans, such Seller shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, if any, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the appropriate Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to the relevant Class will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Loan for such month and thereafter the appropriate Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The Servicer shall amend the Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the appropriate Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(b). Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Loan to the appropriate Seller and shall execute and deliver at the appropriate Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in such Seller, or its designee, with respect to the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

For any month in which the appropriate Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Substitute Loans is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Loans (such Stated Principal Balances to be measured as of the respective Due Dates in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the sum of (a) the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Loans and (b) any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with such Deleted Loan prior to the date of such substitution shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by such Seller on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the related Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that the appropriate Seller shall have repurchased a Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which such Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit J, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Seller, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Seller to cure, repurchase or replace any Loan as to which a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy against such Sellers respecting such breach of a representation and warranty available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.

(d) The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

SECTION 2.03A. Additional Obligations of Equity One-Delaware.

(a) In addition to the representations and warranties made by Equity One-Delaware in its capacity as a Seller, as described in Section 2.03 and set forth in Schedules IIA and IIIA, Equity One-Delaware hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Trustee that all of the representations and warranties of the other Sellers described in Section 2.03 and set forth in Schedules IIB through IIE and IIIB through IIIE are true and accurate in all respects.

(b) Equity One-Delaware hereby covenants that it shall comply with the repurchase and substitution obligations described in Section 2.02 and 2.03 in the event that (i) a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Schedules IIIB through IIIE occurs and (ii) the related Seller defaults on its repurchase and substitution obligations under Sections 2.02 and 2.03.

SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Loans

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each Loan that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Loans to it by the Sellers, the Depositor had good title to the Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04, which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and to each Rating Agency.

SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions.

(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the appropriate Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Day, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, and/or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as one or more REMICs at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the appropriate Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the appropriate Seller, at such Seller’s option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Loan for the affected Loan within 90 days from the discovery or (ii) repurchase the affected Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would repurchase a Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to such Seller the Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would release a Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.

SECTION 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment and in payment therefor, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Certificateholders may be adequately and effectively protected.

SECTION 2.07. REMIC Matters.

The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. The “latest possible maturity date” shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The “tax matters person” with respect to each REMIC created hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters Person Certificate. The Trust Fund’s fiscal year shall be the calendar year and, for purposes of section 860C of the Code, the taxable income of each REMIC created hereunder shall be computed under an accrual method of accounting.

The Trustee shall treat each of the Net WAC Cap Account, the Swap Account, the Cap Account and the Final Maturity Reserve Fund as a separate and distinct outside reserve fund within the meaning of §1.860G-2(h) of the Income Tax Regulations. None of the Net WAC Cap Account, the Swap Account, the Cap Account, the Final Maturity Reserve Fund, the Cap Agreement or the Swap Agreement shall be treated as an asset of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class X Certificates will own the Net WAC Cap Account, the Final Maturity Reserve Fund, the Cap Account and the Swap Account.

The Trustee shall treat the Holders of the Offered Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with the Holders of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of the Offered Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holders of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 3 Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall shall be allocated to each Class of Offered Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Interest Accrual Period at the Pass-Through Rate for such Class, computed by substituting “REMIC 2 Net WAC Cap” for “Net WAC Cap” in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued for the related Interest Accrual Period. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Cap Carryover amounts to the owners of the Offered Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment deemed made by the Holders of the Offered Certificates in respect of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Offered Certificates in respect of their REMIC 3 Regular Interests and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Holders of the Class X Certificates pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Offered Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the REMIC 3, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Offered Certificates of $500 as of the Closing Date.

In no event shall any payments of Net WAC Cap Carryover be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

SECTION 2.08. Covenants of the Servicer.

The Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as follows:

(a) the Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy; and

(b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or report not misleading.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF LOANS

SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Service Loans.

For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers, and the Servicer shall maintain all material licenses necessary for the conduct of its business. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof, (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds and Recoveries and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Loan which would cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as one or more REMICs or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, 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 Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Loans to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer. In addition, upon the request of the Servicer from time to time the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer one or more powers of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M.

SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers.

(a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer. Each subservicing agreement, if any, shall provide that any successor servicer (including, without limitation, the Trustee acting in such capacity) shall have the right to terminate such subservicing agreement without the payment of any fees or other amounts to the subservicer.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer.

SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Servicer.

The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of the Servicer hereunder; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer hereunder or otherwise.

SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Servicer.

In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02 hereof. If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Servicer under each subservicing agreement.

The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

SECTION 3.05. Collection of Loan Payments; Certificate Account; Distribution Account.

(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Loan and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make Advances on the related Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.

(b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account into which the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited within one Business Day of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

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

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Loans, net of the related Servicing Fee;

(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures, and all Recoveries;

(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(d) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(c) and, in respect of net monthly rental income from REO Property, pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;

(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;

(vii) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;

(viii) all Principal Prepayments, Liquidation Proceeds and other unscheduled payments on the Loans received on the Cut-off Date; and

(ix) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.

(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:

(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix); and

(ii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account.

In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee uninvested in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Servicer.

(d) The Servicer may direct, in writing, each institution at which the Certificate Account is maintained to invest the funds therein in specified Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than, the second Business Day next preceding the Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account or a fund for which such institution or affiliate thereof serves as an investment advisor, administrator, shareholder servicing agent and/or custodian or subcustodian, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all income earned on funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, net of any losses realized from any Permitted Investments made with such funds, shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all income earned on funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, net of any losses realized from any Permitted Investments made with such funds, shall be deposited into the Certificate Account without right of reimbursement. The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate Account in respect of any such Permitted Investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer (from its own funds) in the Certificate Account. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.05.

(e) The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer, each Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account prior to any change thereof.

SECTION 3.06. Payment of Taxes, Assessments, Hazard Insurance Premiums and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

(a) The Servicer shall require Mortgagors to pay all taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, flood insurance premiums, condominium association dues or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. To the extent required by the Seller at the time the related Loan was originated and not violative of current law, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium association dues or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law or if the Seller of the related Loan did not require the establishment of an Escrow Account at the time the Loan was originated.

Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.

(b) The Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, are required to be made to protect the lien of the Mortgage and will be recoverable by the Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise. The amount of any such advances made by the Servicer for the purpose of maintaining any hazard or flood insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the related Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Loan so permit. Any advance made by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance to the extent permitted by Section 3.08.

SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Loans.

(a) The Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Trustee and each Rating Agency reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.

(b) Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Servicer will provide to each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Loans sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and access.

SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account and Distribution Account.

(a) The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the following purposes:

(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained by the Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.13, and, subject to Section 3.05(d), to pay to the Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account;

(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made, excluding any Purchase Price proceeds received from the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and subject to Section 9.01;

(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made, except that the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance on a Loan as of the date the Servicer purchases such Loan from the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.11 or Section 9.01;

(iv) to reimburse the Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related Insurance Proceeds;

(v) to reimburse the Servicer for (a) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (a) with respect to any Loan being limited to amounts received on such Loan(s) which represent late recoveries of the payments for which such Servicing Advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.06 and (b) for unpaid Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 hereof;

(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase;

(vii) to (A) reimburse the Sellers, the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by any of them that are reimbursable pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof or (B) to pay to the Trustee any Trustee Permitted Withdrawal Amounts;

(viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and not required to be deposited therein;

(ix) on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date, to withdraw an amount equal to the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and remit such amounts to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account; and

(x) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Loan by Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Loans(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.

(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account to make the distributions specified in this Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the Distribution Account for the following purposes:

(i) to the extent not remitted by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(vii)(B) above within a reasonable period of time after request by the Trustee, to remit (prior to making any other distributions from amounts held in the Distribution Account) to itself any Trustee Permitted Withdrawal Amounts;

(ii) to withdraw and return to the Servicer any amount deposited in the Distribution Account and not required to be deposited therein; and

(iii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.

SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies.

(a) The Servicer shall require Mortgagors to maintain, for each Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage (i) in the case of a Loan secured by a Mortgage creating a first lien on the related Mortgaged Property, in an amount that is at least equal to the original principal balance of such Loan or the maximum insurable value of the improvements on such Mortgaged Property, whichever is less, and (ii) in the case of a Second Lien Loan, in an amount equal to the lesser of the combined principal balance of such Second Lien Loan and the related first lien mortgage loan or the maximum insurable value of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage 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 is located at the time of origination of the Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Servicer shall require the related Mortgagor to maintain flood insurance with respect to such Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the original principal balance of the related Loan.

(b) The Servicer shall not be required to have Mortgagors maintain any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy with respect to any Loan, but may do so as allowed by law, and shall allow the cancellation of any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as required by law. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. If any Mortgagor fails to pay the premiums for its Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, the Servicer may, but shall not be required to, pay such premiums. Any payment made by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09(b) shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance to the extent permitted by Section 3.08.

(c) In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Loans, the Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Loans. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate Account.

SECTION 3.10. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

(a) When any property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer, to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, may, at its discretion, but is not required to, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. The Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to 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 Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

(b) In any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original 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. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

SECTION 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Loans; Repurchase and Sale of Certain Loans.

The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a one mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.

With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity thereunder. In order to facilitate sales of REO Properties by the Servicer, upon the Servicer’s request, the Trustee shall promptly provide the Servicer with appropriate limited durable powers of attorney or such other documentation as may reasonably be required by the Servicer or purchasers of REO Properties to consummate such sales. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Certificate Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third taxable year of the Trust Fund following the taxable year of the Trust Fund in which the Trust Fund acquired such Mortgaged Property, unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as one or more REMICs at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding.

The proceeds from any liquidation of a Loan, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees related to such Liquidated Loan; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Loan or related REO Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the calendar month preceding the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Loan will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.13.

During the first full calendar month (but excluding the last Business Day thereof) following the calendar month in which a Loan became 91 days or more delinquent, the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase for its own account or for resale as set forth herein from the Trust Fund any Loan that is then still 91 days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit J, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser any Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser shall thereupon own such Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

If with respect to any delinquent Loan, the option of the Servicer set forth in the preceding paragraph shall have arisen but the Servicer shall have failed to exercise such option with respect to such Loan on or before the Business Day preceding the last Business Day of the calendar month following the calendar month during which such Loan first became 91 days or more delinquent, then such option shall automatically expire with respect to such Loan; provided, however, that if any such Loan shall cease to be 91 days or more delinquent but then subsequently shall again become 91 days or more delinquent, then the Servicer shall be entitled to another repurchase option with respect to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 3.12. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Loan coming into the possession of the Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Recoveries in respect of any Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Recoveries, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account, Distribution Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.13. Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Servicing Fee for each Loan, provided that the aggregate Servicing Fee for the Loans with respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date, up to the full amount of the aggregate Servicing Fee, and (ii) with respect to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to any amount to be deposited into the Certificate Account by the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and not so deposited.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of Excess Proceeds, Prepayment Interest Excess, prepayment penalties, assumption fees, late payment charges and all income earned on funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, net of any losses realized from any Permitted Investments made with such funds, shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.14. Access to Certain Documentation.

The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising certain Certificateholders and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

SECTION 3.15. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee not later than March 15 of each calendar year commencing with the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, an annual compliance certificate pursuant to Item 1123 of Regulation AB, signed by an officer of the Servicer, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such calendar year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. The Trustee shall forward a copy of each such statement to each Rating Agency. Copies of such compliance certificates shall be provided by the Servicer to any Certificateholder, without charge, upon the written request of such Certificateholder.

SECTION 3.16. Servicer’s Annual Servicing Statement; Independent Public Accountants’ Attestation.

(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee, not later than March 15 of each calendar year in which the Depositor is required to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund, commencing with the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of its compliance with the Servicing Criteria. Copies of such report shall be provided by the Servicer, without charge, upon written request of such Certificateholder. Such report shall contain the following statements (which statements shall be based on the activities the Servicer performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer that are backed by the same asset type as the Loans):

(i) a statement by the Servicer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;

(ii) a statement by the Servicer that it used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;

(iii) a statement by the Servicer as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Servicer;

(iv) a statement by the Servicer assessing the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year and covering the period of the preceding calendar year, which shall disclose any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto; and

Copies of such report shall be provided by the Servicer to any Certificateholder, without charge, upon the written request of such Certificateholder.

SECTION 3.17. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.

The Servicer shall, for so long as it acts as servicer under this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall, together, comply with the requirements from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for persons performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer, meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement.

SECTION 3.18. Engagement by Servicer of Affiliates or Third Party Vendors.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for so long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting with respect to the Trust Fund:

(i) to the extent the Servicer hereafter engages any affiliate or third party vendor, in connection with the performance of any of its material duties under this Agreement, the Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor in writing of such engagement. To the extent the Depositor notifies the Servicer that it has determined that such affiliates or third party vendors are participating in the servicing function with respect to the Loans, within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause such affiliates or third party vendors for which it is not taking responsibility for as a “vendor” under Section 17.06 of the Commission’s Division of Corporate Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations related to Regulation AB and related rules to prepare a separate annual assessment and attestation report, as contemplated by Section 3.16 of this Agreement, and deliver such report to the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.16 of this Agreement. In addition, to the extent that such affiliate or third party vendor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB and the Depositor notifies the Servicer that it has determined that any such affiliate or third party vendor would be a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause such affiliate or third party vendor to prepare a separate annual compliance statement as contemplated by Section 3.15 of this Agreement and deliver such statement to the Servicer as set forth in Section 3.15 of this Agreement. Furthermore, if such affiliate or third party vendor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB and the Depositor determines any such affiliate or third party vendor would be a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause such affiliate or third party vendor to provide the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee the information required by Item 1108(b) and 1108(c) of Regulation AB within two (2) Business Days following such engagement.

(ii) any Subservicer shall prepare a separate annual assessment and attestation report, as contemplated by Section 3.16 of this Agreement, and deliver such report to the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.16 of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.19. Delinquent Loans.

For all purposes in this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, the determination as to whether a Loan is delinquent shall be based on the number of days that payments on such Loan are contractually past due, assuming 30-day months. For example, a payment due on the first day of a month is not 30 days delinquent until the first day of the following month.

The portion of the Offered Certificate that is treated as having been sold shall equal the amount of the corresponding reduction in the outstanding principal balance of such Offered Certificate. Principal payments received from the Final Maturity Reserve Fund shall not be treated as distributions from any REMIC created hereby. All principal distributions from the Final Maturity Reserve Fund shall be accounted for hereunder in accordance with this Section 3A.03(e).

(f) The Final Maturity Reserve Fund shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under applicable Treasury regulations and will not be part of any REMIC.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit amounts in the Net WAC Cap Account pursuant to Section 4.02(d)(xxxvii). The Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Net WAC Cap Account to make distributions pursuant to Section 4.02(h).

(c) At the written direction of the Holders of the Class X Certificates, the Trustee shall either (i) leave the funds in the Net WAC Cap Account uninvested or (ii) invest the funds in the Net WAC Cap Account in Permitted Investments specified by the Holders of the Class X Certificates, which Permitted Investments shall mature not later than, the second Business Day preceding each Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account or a fund for which such institution or affiliate thereof serves as an investment advisor, administrator, shareholder servicing agent and/or custodian or subcustodian, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.

(b) The External Trust shall terminate on the earlier to occur of the Last Scheduled Distribution Date or the Distribution Date on which the Trust Fund is terminated pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the External Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class X Certificates unless and until the date when either (i) there is more than one Class X Certificateholder or (ii) any Class of Offered Certificates in addition to the Class X Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the External Trust for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee shall be responsible for any entity level tax reporting for the External Trust.

ARTICLE V

THE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.

The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.

Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (a) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance or Percentage Interest of any Class of Certificates or (B) Certificates of any Class with an aggregate principal Denomination of not less than $1,000,000 or (b) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.

The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.

SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and 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. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. 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 registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form of Exhibit G duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but 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 may be required.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures.

No transfer of a Certificate other than an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made to a plan that is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”) unless the purchase and holding of such Certificate is eligible for the exemptive relief available under Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 (for transactions by “qualified professional asset managers”), XXXX 00-0 (for transactions by insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for transactions by bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (for transactions for insurance company separate accounts), PTCE 96-23 (for transactions effected by “in-house asset managers”) or under the statutory exemption in Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code (for certain transactions with a service provider that is not a fiduciary, or an affiliate of a fiduciary, with respect to a Plan with assets involved in the transactions). Each Plan that is a Beneficial Owner of such a Certificate, or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of the Certificate, or interest therein, that the acquisition or holding of such Certificate is eligible for the exemptive relief available under one of the five Prohibited Transaction Class Exemptions or the statutory exemption described immediately above. Any attempted or purported transfer of a such Certificate to a Plan in violation of the provisions of this paragraph shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(b) Except for the initial transfer of the Class X Certificates and Class R Certificates, no transfer of a Class X Certificate or Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, (i) the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer, the Certificateholder by delivering a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit G (the “Transferor Certificate”) and the Certificateholder’s prospective transferee by delivering a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit H (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit I (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Class X Certificate or Class R Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Class X Certificate or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Sellers and the Servicer 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. In addition, except for the initial transfer of the Class X Certificates, no transfer of a Class X Certificate shall be made unless the transferee thereof shall have first provided to the Swap Counterparty or Cap Counterparty, as applicable, a correct, complete and duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor thereto) or, if applicable, Form W-8BEN (or successor thereto) that eliminates U.S. federal backup withholding tax on payments to the External Trust under the Swap Agreement or Cap Agreement, as applicable.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received (i) a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit H or Exhibit I, to the effect that (x) such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (y) if the purchaser is an insurance company and the ERISA-Restricted Certificate is not a Class R Certificate and has been the subject of an ERISA Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of PTCE 95-60) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (ii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund and the External Trust being deemed to be “plan assets” and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.

In the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate.

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R 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 Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Class R Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Class R Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Class R Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Class R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Sellers or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as one or more REMICs at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (A) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Class R Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (B) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Class R Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.

(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Beneficial Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Beneficial Owners.

All transfers by Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Beneficial Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Beneficial Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.

If (x) (i) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor, at its sole option with the consent of the Trustee, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the resignation or removal of the Servicer, Beneficial Owners representing at least 51% of the sum of the then outstanding Class Certificate Balance of all Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Depository, either directly or through the Depository Participants, and the Trustee in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall notify all Beneficial Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references 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; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.

SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) 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 (b) there is delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them 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, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, 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) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

The Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.

If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the 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 Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf of, FNMA or FHLMC.

SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer and Others.

None of the Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Sellers or the Servicer shall be under any liability to 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 Sellers, the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Sellers or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Sellers or the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Loan or Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Sellers or the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Sellers or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Sellers and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account.

SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of Servicer.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer and receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the Certificates or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. If the Servicer resigns for any of the foregoing reasons and the Trustee is unwilling or unable to assume responsibility for the Servicer’s duties under this Agreement, the Trustee may take action to appoint a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof.

SECTION 6.05. Indemnification.

The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor or any Certificateholder may sustain directly resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder or in the servicing of the Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall not be liable or responsible for any of the representations, covenants, warranties, responsibilities, duties or liabilities of any prior servicer. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder if a claim is made by a third party for which any of such parties could require indemnification from the Servicer under this Section 6.05, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and advance all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly advance funds to pay, discharge and satisfy any non-appealable, final judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and/or the Certificateholder in respect of such claim. The indemnity provided for in this Section 6.05 shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.

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

(i) any failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Certificate Account or remit to the Trustee any payment (other than a payment required to be made under Section 4.01 hereof) required to be made with respect to any Class of Certificates under the terms of this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for 5 days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given (a) to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or (b) to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class;

(ii) any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given (a) to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or (b) to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class;

(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days;

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

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

(vi) so long as the Servicer is a Seller, any failure by any Seller to observe or perform in any material respect any of the other covenants or agreements on the part of any Seller contained in this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to such Seller by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to such Seller and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class; or

(vii) any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance in the manner and at the time required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01 which continues unremedied for a period of 1 Business Day after the date of such failure.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, by notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency) shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. If an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee shall, by telephonic notice to the Servicer, followed by notice in writing (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On and after the receipt by the Servicer of such telephonic notice, all authority and power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee, as successor Servicer. The Trustee shall, subject to 3.04 hereof, thereupon promptly make any Advance described in clause (vii) hereof. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Loans.

100

The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Servicer does not fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor 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 Loans properly and effectively, costs reasonably allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, costs or expenses associated with the transfer of all servicing files and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary. If the terminated Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(vii)(B) or from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.08(b)(i), as applicable, in an amount not to exceed the Trustee Permitted Withdrawal Amount and to receive all amounts in excess of the Trustee Permitted Withdrawal Amount pursuant to Sections 4.02(a)(i)(A).

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating such Servicer’s rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii), and any other amounts payable to such Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.04, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Loans that the Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account or Distribution Account if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $10,000,000, and which is willing to service the Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that no such delegation and assignment shall become effective unless each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such delegation and assignment will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such delegation and assignment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee permitted the Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

101

Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer.

SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.

(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

SECTION 7.04. Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge has occurred and remains uncured or waived, 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.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.

102

Unless an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, 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 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 and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder.

The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or with the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates 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.

Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of this Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any re-recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Certificate Account or (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 8.01(D) shall not apply during any period during which the Trustee is acting in the capacity of servicer.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.01 to the contrary, 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 willful misconduct.

SECTION 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

(i) the Trustee (acting as Trustee, Tax Matters Person or as agent of the Tax Matters Person for any REMIC) may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties;

103

(ii) the Trustee (acting as Trustee, Tax Matters Person or as agent of the Tax Matters Person for any REMIC) may consult with counsel, financial advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or accountants 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;

The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Trustee and shall be repaid pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(vii)(B), 3.08(b)(i), and 4.02(a)(i)(A) hereof, as applicable;

(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, accountants, custodians or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, accountant, custodian or attorney appointed by the Trustee with due care;

(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security);

(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

104

(x) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act;

(xi) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the powers granted hereunder; and

(xii) anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Loans.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Sellers, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Loan or related document other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates or for the use and application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Depositor or the Servicer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued or intended to be issued hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing language shall not apply to the Trustee’s obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.

SECTION 8.05. Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.

The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date an amount equal to the Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and expenses for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates or (c) the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, (ii) resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by the Servicer and (iii) incurred in connection with Section 2.01(d) hereof. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the following: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates.

105

SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a 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 subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause any one of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction). If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 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 condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer.

SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or 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 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as 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, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Servicer may remove the Trustee, and shall, within 30 days after such removal, appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the successor trustee.

106

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08 hereof.

SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such 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 Depositor, the Servicer 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 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, 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 into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee may be sold or otherwise transferred, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or 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 of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the 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 to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an 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 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.

107

Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) to the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the 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 the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;

(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and

(iv) the Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and 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 trusts 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 and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Depositor.

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. Tax Matters.

In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Returns (Forms 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each REMIC created hereunder, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or regulations, rules or procedures issued under the Code, or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment assumption described in the Prospectus Supplement; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the REMIC status of each REMIC created hereunder under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs created hereunder; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each REMIC created hereunder prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to each REMIC created hereunder, including, but not limited to, the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent each REMIC created hereunder in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of each REMIC created hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of each REMIC created hereunder, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.

108

In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis.

109

The Depositor shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Depositor’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Servicer and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor to enable the Depositor to satisfy its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and its obligations under Regulation AB.

SECTION 8.13. Appointment of Custodians.

The Trustee may, with the consent of the Servicer, appoint one or more custodians (each, a “Custodian”) to hold all or a portion of the Trustee’s Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custodial agreement (“Custodial Agreement”). 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. The Trustee shall be liable for the fees of any Custodian appointed hereunder. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Trustee’s Mortgage File. In the event that the Trustee appoints a Custodian, it shall cause the Custodial Agreement to include a provision pursuant to which the Custodian agrees to deliver any attestations, certificates or reports or other information required for the Depositor to comply with Regulation AB.

SECTION 8.14. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates.

All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

110

The Trustee shall afford the Sellers, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and reasonable access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties, or such other employees who can provide the information required. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish the Sellers, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Sellers, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Sellers, the Servicer, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying at the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder. The Sellers, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 8.15. Suits for Enforcement.

In case an Event of Default or other default by the Servicer hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion, may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee or the Certificateholders.

(a) The Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer, not later than March 15 of each calendar year in which the Depositor is required to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund, commencing with the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, a report regarding the Trustee’s assessment of its compliance with the Servicing Criteria, which assessment of compliance shall, at a minimum, address the criteria identified as applicable on Exhibit N attached hereto (as the same may be amended from time to time). Copies of such report shall be provided by the Servicer to any Certificateholder, without charge, upon the written request of such Certificateholder, provided such report is delivered by the Trustee to the Servicer.

Such attestation shall be in accordance with the Exchange Act and Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

SECTION 8.17. Engagement by Trustee of Affiliates or Third Parties.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for so long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting with respect to the Trust Fund:

to the extent the Trustee engages any affiliate or third party, in connection with the performance of any of its material duties under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof), the Trustee shall immediately notify the Depositor in writing of such engagement. To the extent the Depositor notifies the Trustee that it has determined that such affiliates or third parties are participating in the servicing function with respect to the Loans, within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Trustee shall cause such affiliates or third parties to prepare a separate annual assessment and attestation report, as contemplated by Section 8.16 of this Agreement, and deliver such report to the Trustee as set forth in Section 8.16 of this Agreement. In addition, to the extent the Trustee or such affiliate or third parties meet the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB and the Depositor notifies the Trustee that it has determined that the Trustee or such affiliate or third parties would be a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB, the Trustee shall, and shall cause such affiliate or third parties to, prepare a separate annual compliance statement as contemplated by Section 3.15 of this Agreement and deliver such statement to the Depositor as set forth in Section 3.15 of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Loans.

Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Servicer of all Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (ii) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Loan related to any REO Property plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate (the “Termination Price”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Termination Price be less than (1) with respect to the Offered Certificates, 100% of their then outstanding principal balance, (2) with respect to the Offered Certificates, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate (including any Class Unpaid Interest Amounts), (3) with respect to the Offered Certificates, any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Cap Carryover as of such Distribution Date, and (4) with respect to the Offered Certificates, any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Counterparty then remaining unpaid or which becomes due to the Swap Counterparty as a result of the exercise of the Optional Termination or (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or any Advance with respect thereto) and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the 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 or (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The right to purchase all Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the Pool Principal Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent (10%) of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance. If the Servicer elects to exercise its purchase right pursuant to clause (a) above, the Servicer’s right to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for any Advances previously made on the Loans being purchased shall terminate as of the date the purchase of the Loans and REO Properties is completed.

SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.

If on any Determination Date, the Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Servicer shall notify in writing the Depositor, the Trustee, the Swap Counterparty and Cap Counterparty of the date the Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Loans and REO Properties; provided, however, that such notice shall only be required to be delivered to the Swap Counterparty and the Cap Counterparty if the Termination Date (as defined in the Swap Agreement and Cap Agreement, respectively) has not yet occurred.

Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of principal to be included in such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

113

In the event such notice is given, the Servicer shall cause all funds in the Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Servicer the Mortgage Files for the Loans.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.02 hereof, on the final Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to the Offered Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance of each Class thereof plus accrued interest thereon and (ii) as to the Class R Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.

In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund, on a pro-rata basis among the remaining Certificateholders. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.

SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.

(a) In the event the Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC created hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(1) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in the notice given by the Servicer under Section 9.02, the Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee, at the expense of the Tax Matters Person, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of section 860F(a)(4) of the Code which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Tax Matters Person), meets the requirements of a qualified liquidation; and

(2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Servicer for cash in accordance with Section 9.01.

114

(b) The Trustee as agent for each REMIC created hereunder hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Servicer, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Servicer.

(c) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Servicer to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Percentage Interests of at least 66% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) to the effect that such amendment will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as one or more REMICs at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not be at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

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

SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Loans by the Sellers to the Depositor pursuant to Article II of this Agreement be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Depositor. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Sellers to the Depositor to secure a borrowing by the Sellers from the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Sellers or any one of them, or if this Agreement is held or deemed to constitute or have created a loan, lending transaction or an extension of credit by the Depositor to the Sellers or any one of them, then and only then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed, effective as of May 1, 2007, to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance by the Sellers to the Depositor provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed, effective as of May 1, 2007, to be an assignment and a grant by the Sellers to the Depositor, and each of the Sellers does hereby grant and assign to the Depositor, a security interest in, and lien upon, all of the assets that constitute the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

116

The Sellers, for the benefit of the Depositor, shall, in connection with the perfection of the security interest described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 10.04, deliver to the Depositor on the Closing Date the financing statements described in Schedule IV. The Sellers shall also arrange for the delivery to the Depositor of any appropriate Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements as may be necessary or appropriate to continue the perfection of the security interest of the Depositor in the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Sellers, for the benefit of the Depositor, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement is held or deemed to constitute or have created a loan, lending transaction or an extension of credit by the Depositor to the Sellers or any one of them, then and only then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed, effective as of May 1, 2007, to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance by the Sellers to the Depositor provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed, effective as of May 1, 2007, to be an assignment and a grant by the Sellers to the Depositor, and each of the Sellers does hereby grant and assign to the Depositor, a security interest in, and lien upon, all of the assets that constitute the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such security interest shall 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. The Sellers shall arrange for filing any appropriate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, continuation statements or other appropriate forms, notices or documents in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Depositor.

The Depositor does hereby assign the security interest in and lien on the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Depositor shall arrange for filing of such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements as are necessary to effect the assignment of the security interest and lien to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund and the External Trust by the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to Article II of this Agreement be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a borrowing by the Depositor from the Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the assets constituting the Trust Fund and the External Trust are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if this Agreement is held or deemed to constitute or have created a loan, lending transaction or an extension of credit by the Trustee to the Depositor, then and only then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed, effective as of May 1, 2007, to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed, effective as of May 1, 2007, to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, and the Depositor does hereby grant and assign to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in, and lien upon, all of the assets that constitute the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

The Depositor, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall, in connection with the perfection of the security interest described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 10.04, deliver to the Trustee on the Closing Date the financing statements described in Schedule V. The Depositor shall also arrange for the delivery to the Trustee of any appropriate Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements as may be necessary or appropriate to continue the perfection of the security interest of the Trustee in the Trust Fund and the External Trust, and all of the proceeds thereof, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Depositor, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement is held or deemed to constitute or have created a loan, lending transaction or an extension of credit by the Trustee to the Depositor, then and only then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed, effective as of May 1, 2007, to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed, effective as of May 1, 2007, to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, and the Depositor does hereby grant and assign to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in, and lien upon, all of the assets that constitute the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such security interest shall 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. The Servicer shall, within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, present to the appropriate filing offices in the jurisdictions set forth on Schedules IV and V all of the financing statements delivered on the Closing Date by the Sellers to the Depositor, the assignments thereof delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee on the Closing Date and the financing statements delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee on the Closing Date.

(3)	None of the Loans are Second Lien Loans.

(5)

Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the referenced Mortgaged Property 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, if any, utilized in connection with the origination of the related Loan, and (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.

(6)

Immediately prior to the assignment of the Loans to the Depositor, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each such Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to the Agreement.

(7)	To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property.

(8)	There is no valid right of rescission, offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note.

To the best of 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 such Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in item (13) below.

S-IIIA-1

(11)

(12)

As of the Closing Date, neither the Seller nor any prior holder of any Mortgage has modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except that a Loan may have been modified by a written instrument which has been recorded or submitted for recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the original or a copy of which has been or shall be delivered to the Trustee); 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.

(13)

For each Loan that is not a Borrower Retention Loan, a lender’s policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at least equal to the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of each such Loan or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the origination of each Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect, and each such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, which policy insures the Seller and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the related insured Mortgage, as to the applicable priority lien of the Mortgage subject to the exceptions set forth in item (4) above; 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. Approximately 47.78% of the Loans (by principal balance) are Borrower Retention Loans.

(14)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, all of the improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of each Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Mortgaged Property.

(15)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no improvement located on or being part of any Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of such Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof would not have a material adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property, and such Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.

(16)

Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law, and with respect to each 40/30 Loan, the related Mortgage Note requires that the principal balance thereof be amortized over a term of forty (40) years with a required balloon payment thirty (30) years after origination of such 40/30 Loan.

S-IIIA-2

(17)	The proceeds of each Loan (other than certain amounts escrowed for home improvements) have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, or closing or recording such Loans were paid.

(18)

Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.

(19)

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 Certificateholders to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

(20)	Each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one of the forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have been acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, as the case may be.

(21)	The origination, underwriting and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to each Loan have been in all respects legal, prudent and customary in the mortgage lending and servicing business.

(22)	There is no pledged account or other security other than any Escrow Account and real estate securing the Mortgagor’s obligations.

(23)	No Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent interest feature.

(24)	Each Loan contains a customary “due on sale” clause.

(25)

To the best of Seller’s knowledge: at the Cut-off Date, the improvements on each Mortgaged Property were covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such other hazards as are customary in the area where such Mortgaged Property is located in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum insurable value of the improvements on such Mortgaged Property or (b) (i) in the case of a Loan secured by a Mortgage creating a first lien on such Mortgaged Property, the original principal balance of such Loan, or (ii) in the case of a Loan which is subject to a prior loan or prior loans, the combined principal balances of such Loan and the prior loan(s). If such Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the condominium unit. For all Mortgages creating a first lien on the related Mortgaged Property, all such individual insurance policies and all flood policies referred to in item (25) 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.

(26)

If a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration was required at closing 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 related Loan, (b) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a maximum insurable value basis or (c) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

S-IIIA-3

(27)	To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding occurring, pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property.

(28)

There is no material monetary default existing under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Mortgage or related Mortgage Note; and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

(29)	Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family residential dwelling including condominium units, which, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, does not include cooperatives or mobile homes and does not constitute other than real property under state law.

(30)	Each Loan is being serviced by the Servicer through the Subservicer.

(31)

Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the related Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the related loan schedule.

No Mortgage Note permits or obligates the Servicer to make future advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor.

(32)

To the best of Seller’s knowledge, all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, except for items which have been assessed, but are not yet due and payable. Except for (a) payments in the nature of escrow payments, and (b) interest accruing from the date of any Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the related Mortgage proceeds, whichever is later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest, including without limitation, taxes and insurance payments, the Servicer has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the related Mortgage.

(33)	Each Loan was underwritten in all material respects in accordance with the Seller’s underwriting guidelines as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement.

(34)

An appraisal of each Mortgaged Property that is not a Borrower Retention Loan was obtained from a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of such Loan; such appraisal is in a form acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC.

(35)	No Loan is a graduated payment mortgage loan or a growing equity mortgage loan, and no Loan is subject to a buydown or similar arrangement.

(36)

The Loans were selected from among the outstanding residential mortgage loans in Seller’s portfolio at the Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties made as to such Loans set forth in this Schedule IIIA can be made.

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Popular ABS, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund 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, the Business Day immediately following (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 wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder 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 or such other location 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 Sellers, Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

C-1

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations 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 Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Principal Balance is less than 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Loans 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 the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.

Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

STATE OF	)
	) ss:
COUNTY OF	)

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. The undersigned is an officer of , the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the “Agreement”), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among Popular ABS, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Equity One, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Equity One, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, Equity One Consumer Loan Company, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation, Equity One, Incorporated and Popular Financial Services, LLC, as Sellers, Equity One, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Servicer, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.

2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

3. The Transferee acknowledges that it understands that as the holder of the residual interest, the Transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows the residual interest generates and the Transferee intends to pay any taxes associated with its holding the residual interest as those taxes become due.

4. The Transferee represents that the conditions specified in either or both of subparagraph (a) and (b) of this paragraph are satisfied:

(a) The requirements of this subparagraph (a) will be met if: the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the residual interest does not exceed the sum of: (i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire the interest, (ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on the interest, and (iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as the REMIC generates losses. For purposes of this subparagraph (a), the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in section 11(b)(1) of the Code, and present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable federal rate prescribed by section 1274(d) of the Code, compounded semiannually, or such other rate that the Transferee can demonstrate it borrows substantial funds at in the course of its trade or business from unrelated third parties.

(b) The requirements of this subparagraph (b) will be met if: (i) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of each of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the year of transfer the Transferee’s gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $100 million and its net assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $10 million, (ii) The Transferee is an eligible corporation (within the meaning of section 860L(a)(2) of the Code), (iii) The Transferee is not a foreign branch of an eligible corporation or any other arrangement by which the Residual interest will at any time be subject to net tax by a foreign country or possession of the United States, (iv) The Transferee agrees, in executing this Certificate that any subsequent transfer of the Residual interest will be to another eligible corporation in a “qualifying transaction,” and (v) the Transferee has not indicated to, nor provided to the Transferor any grounds to believe that, the Transferee will not pay the taxes associated with the residual interest. For purposes of applying this subparagraph (b), the Transferee’s gross assets and net assets do not include any obligation of any person related to the Transferee within the meaning of section 860L(g) of the Code, or any other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring the asset is to permit the Transferee to satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph (b), and a “qualifying transaction” is a transaction that satisfies the requirements of §4 of Rev. Proc. 2001-12, 2001-3 I.R.B. 35.

F-1

5. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.

6. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

7. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

8. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit G to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

9. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate.

F-2

10. The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is .

11. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).

12. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan or arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect the transfer.

14. The Transferee has provided financial statements or other financial information requested by the transferor in connection with the transfer of the Class R Certificates to permit the transferor to assess the financial capability of the Transferee to pay any such taxes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this day of , 20 .
