This TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of August 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), is by and among STRUCTURED ASSET SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), AURORA LOAN SERVICES LLC, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings Inc. (the “Seller”), and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust Fund as consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates and, to the extent provided herein, any NIMS Insurer. The Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (other than (i) the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (ii) the rights to receive Prepayment Premiums distributable to the Class P Certificates, (iii) the Lower Tier Interests and (iv) the Class X Account) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, “REMIC 1” and “REMIC 2”). Each Certificate (other than the Class C, Class R and Class P Certificates) represents ownership of one or more regular interests in REMIC 2 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Offered Certificate represents the right to receive payments with respect to Excess Interest. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the several Classes of uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular Interests and each such REMIC 1 Regular 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 (i) the Lower Tier Interests, (ii) the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (iii) the rights to receive Prepayment Premiums distributable to the Class P Certificates and (iv) the Class X Account.

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.

Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable recording office), the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause to be properly recorded by such Servicer in each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in subsection (b)(v) above with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan.

All original documents that are not delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be held by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

Section 2.02. Acceptance of Trust Fund by Trustee: Review of Documentation for Trust Fund.

(a) The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by the applicable Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Trustee, or by the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, under this Section 2.02. The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-1 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-1, as applicable).

(b) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will, for the benefit of Holders of the Certificates and any NIMS Insurer, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-2, as applicable) to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, shall determine whether such documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Neither the Trustee nor the applicable Custodian shall have any responsibility for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.

-54-

(c) If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Trustee or the applicable Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (each, a “Material Defect”), the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, discovering such Material Defect shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer. Within 90 days of its receipt of such notice, the Transferor, or, if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such cure has been effected). If the applicable Transferor or the Depositor, as applicable, does not so cure such Material Defect, the Transferor, or, if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor, shall, if a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan were not purchased from the Trust Fund, constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure such Material Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon mutual agreement with the Trustee each acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. Within the two-year period following the Closing Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 2.05. The failure of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian to give the notice contemplated herein within 45 days after the Closing Date shall not affect or relieve the Depositor of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund.

(d) Within 180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian, shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-3 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-3, as applicable) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust Fund, the Trustee, any Custodian or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.

(f) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the applicable Custodian shall perform the applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof as provided in this Section 2.02 and in the applicable Custodial Agreement.

Within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the Depositor or given by a Transferor or the Seller and assigned to the Trustee, the Depositor, such Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which there is a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 1.04(b)(v) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, at the purchase price therefor paid by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement) or (c) within the two-year period following the Closing Date, substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the event of discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of a Transferor assigned to the Trustee, the Trustee shall enforce its rights under the applicable Transfer Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement for the benefit of Certificateholders. As provided in the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreements, if a Transferor substitutes a mortgage loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and such substitute mortgage loan is not a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, then pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement the Seller will, in exchange for such substitute mortgage loan, (i) pay to the Trust Fund the applicable Purchase Price for the affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing Date, substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.05. Repurchase, Purchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

(a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, or by the Transferor pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement, the principal portion of the funds (including the related PPTL Purchase Price in the case of a First Payment Default Mortgage Loan) received by the Master Servicer in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and the Purchase Price or PPTL Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account or a Custodial Account, as applicable. The Trustee (i) upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, (ii) upon receipt of a written certification from the Master Servicer that it has received the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan and has deposited such amount in the Collection Account or (iii) upon receipt of notification from the applicable Custodian that it had received the Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), shall release or cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the applicable Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.05 and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC Event.

-58-

(b) With respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing the granting language set forth in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded by the applicable Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c), or (ii) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations that no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section 2.06. Grant Clause.

(a) It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest to secure repayment of an obligation in an amount equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Certificates in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.

-59-

(b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor shall, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Seller or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b).

ARTICLE III.

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 3.01. The Certificates.

(a) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code. The Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount), or in the Percentage Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Offered Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class C, Class P and Class X Certificates shall be maintained in definitive, fully registered form in a minimum denomination equal to 10% of the Percentage Interest of the Class. The Class R Certificate shall be issued as a single Certificate and maintained in definitive, fully registered form in a minimum denomination equal to 100% of the Percentage Interest of such Class. The Certificates may be issued in the form of typewritten certificates.

-60-

(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Trustee upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, if any, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed by the Depositor to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.

Section 3.02. Registration.

The Trustee is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as, Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (the “Certificate Register”). The Trustee may appoint a bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar. A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.

Section 3.03. Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) A Certificate (other than Book Entry Certificates which shall be subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates.

-61-

(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or QIB-Restricted Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.

The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:

(i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Act by a transferor that has provided the Trustee with a certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto; and

(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Trustee a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto.

(d) No Transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Class R Certificate will be registered unless the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor receive (A) a representation as set forth in Exhibit D-1 for Class R Certificates or Exhibit H for ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”) (collectively, a “Plan”), and is not directly or indirectly acquiring the Class R Certificate for, on behalf of, or with any assets of any such Plan, or (B) solely in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (I) a representation as set forth in Exhibit H for ERISA-Restricted Certificates that, if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, such transferee is an insurance company that is acquiring the Certificate with assets contained in an “insurance company general account,” as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (II) solely in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, and upon which the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall be entitled to rely, to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, or a violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Depositor.

-62-

Except in the case of Definitive Certificates, the representations set forth in the preceding paragraph, other than clause (B)(II) in the immediately preceding paragraph, shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or a Class R Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any Class of ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate). The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall not have any obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates or Restricted Global Securities that are ERISA Restricted Certificates or Class R Certificates or any liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor as described above shall be void and of no effect and the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall not have any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d) and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall not have any liability 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 Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such Certificate in violation of this Section 3.03(d) all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate at and after the time it commenced such holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan.

(e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.

-63-

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless, in the case of clause (ii), such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”).

Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2. In addition, the Trustee may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositor, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the maturity of any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Trustee shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.

-64-

If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of written notice to the Trustee that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), for making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).

(g) Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Certificate, QIB-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder’s or Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section.

Section 3.04. Cancellation of Certificates.

Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar.

Section 3.05. Replacement of Certificates.

If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Depositor and any Authenticating Agent that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee and Authenticating Agent 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 or the Authenticating Agent) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 3.06. Persons Deemed Owners.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book Entry Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

-65-

Section 3.07. Temporary Certificates.

(a) Pending the preparation of Definitive Certificates, upon the order of the Depositor, the Trustee shall execute and shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as the authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.

(b) If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for Definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of Definitive Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Definitive Certificates of the same Class.

Section 3.08. Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee), acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, for the purpose of making distributions to Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee shall cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in an Eligible Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the Trustee. If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution Date.

Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers. A Paying Agent shall comply with its reporting obligations under Regulation AB with respect to the Trust Fund in form and substance similar to those of the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.21, and the related assessment of compliance shall cover, at a minimum, the matters indicated as obligations with respect to the Paying Agent on Exhibit R attached hereto. In addition, the Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) shall notify the Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the Depositor within five (5) calendar days of knowledge thereof (i) of any legal proceedings pending against the Paying Agent of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB, (ii) any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Paying Agent and (iii) if the Paying Agent shall become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed) at any time an Affiliate of any of the parties listed on Exhibit S hereto or any of their Affiliates.

-66-

Section 3.09. Book Entry Certificates.

(a) Each Class of Book Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book Entry Certificates. The Book Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 3.09(c):

(i) the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;

(ii) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal procedures;

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control; and

(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make book entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the Book Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

(b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.

(c) If (i) (A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Book Entry Certificates identified as such to the Trustee by an Officer’s Certificate from the Clearing Agency advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book Entry Certificates, the Trustee shall notify or cause the Certificate Registrar to notify the Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency 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 instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency 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.

In the event that the Master Servicer fails on any Deposit Date to remit to the Trustee any amounts required to be so remitted to the Trustee pursuant to sub-clause (viii) by such date, the Master Servicer shall pay the Trustee, for the account of the Trustee, interest calculated at the “prime rate” (as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal) on such amounts not timely remitted for the period from and including that Deposit Date to but not including the related Distribution Date.

The Trustee may invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in the Certificate Account, which funds, if invested, shall be invested in Eligible Investments (which may be obligations of the Trustee). All such investments must be payable on demand or mature no later than the next Distribution Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All such Eligible Investments will be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be compensation to the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal on order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be paid by the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized.

If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Deposit Date immediately following such Determination Date either (i) remit to the Trustee from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the Certificate Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.04, used by the Master Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account on or before any future Deposit Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances made by it as provided in Section 4.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would constitute a non-recoverable Advance.

-85-

(b) In the event that the Master Servicer fails for any reason to make an Advance required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.04 on or before the Deposit Date, the Trustee, solely in its capacity as successor master servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, shall, on or before the related Distribution Date, deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the excess of (a) Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer that would have been deposited in such Certificate Account over (b) the amount of any Advance made by the Master Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance only if it is not prohibited by law from doing so and it has determined that such Advance would be recoverable from amounts to be received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise. The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account for Advances made by it pursuant to this Section 5.04 as if it were the Master Servicer.

Section 5.05. Compensating Interest Payments.

The Master Servicer shall be responsible for making all Compensating Interest Payments.

The Class X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for federal income tax purposes and LBH, on behalf of the Holders thereof, shall direct the Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein. LBH shall be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence of written instructions from LBH as to investment funds on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, such funds shall remain uninvested.

(b) Funds in the Class X Account may be invested in Eligible Investments having fixed maturities described in clauses (i), (iv), (v) or (vii) of the definition thereof by the Trustee at the direction of the holders of the Class C Certificates maturing on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. No Eligible Investments shall be acquired or disposed of for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses from market value changes. Any funds held in the Class X Account that are not invested shall be held in cash. In the absence of such written direction, all funds in the Class X Account shall remain uninvested. Any investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the holders of the Class C Certificates. The Trustee shall account for the Class X Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The Class C Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Class X Account for federal tax purposes and the Holders thereof shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of amounts therein. The Trustee shall have no liability for losses on investments in Eligible Investments made pursuant to this Section 5.12(b) (other than as obligor on any such investments). Upon termination of the Class X Account, any amounts remaining in the Class X Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class C Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section 5.02(e)(1) hereof.

(c) On each Distribution Date on or prior to the Class X Termination Date, amounts on deposit in the Class X Account will be withdrawn and applied to make payments on the Class X and Class C Certificates, as provided in Section 5.02(e)(1) of this Agreement.

(d) The Class X Account shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Class X Account Termination Date or (ii) the Distribution Date on which the amount on deposit in the Class X Account is reduced to zero.

(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are, on their face, 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 furnished by the Master Servicer or any Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical information furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) The Trustee shall not have any liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits).

(e) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of any NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement.

Section 6.06. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor will promptly appoint a successor trustee acceptable to any NIMS Insurer by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee, one copy to the successor trustee and one copy to each of the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

(b) If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.05 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or any NIMS Insurer, (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a 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, (iii) a tax is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund held by the Trustee is located, (iv) the continued use of the Trustee would result in a downgrading of the rating by any Rating Agency of any Class of Certificates with a rating or (v) the Trustee shall fail to provide the information required pursuant to Section 6.01(l) or (m) or Section 9.25 hereof, then the Depositor, any NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer shall remove the Trustee and the Depositor shall appoint a successor trustee acceptable to any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed, one copy each to the successor trustee and one copy to the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer.

(c) The Holders of more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates (or any NIMS Insurer in the event of failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Depositor remove the Trustee by such written instrument, signed by such Holders or their attorney in fact duly authorized (or by any NIMS Insurer), one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, one copy to the Trustee and one copy to the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer; the Depositor shall thereupon appoint a successor trustee in accordance with this Section mutually acceptable to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer.

Section 6.07. Successor Trustee.

(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.06 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such 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 like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee (or its custodian) shall deliver to the successor trustee (or assign to the Trustee its interest under each Custodial Agreement, to the extent permitted thereunder) all Mortgage Files and documents and statements related to each Mortgage File held by it hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the successor trustee the entire Trust Fund, together with all necessary instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed necessary to effect such transfer and such of the records or copies thereof maintained by the predecessor trustee in the administration hereof as may be requested by the successor trustee and shall thereupon be discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.05.

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the predecessor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to any Rating Agency.

Section 6.08. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Persons succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be the successor to the Trustee 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 that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.05.

-94-

Section 6.09. Appointment of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, to act either as co trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business where such separate trustee or co trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate Trustees, co trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee. The obligation of the Trustee to make Advances pursuant to Section 5.04 and 6.14 shall not be affected or assigned by the appointment of a co trustee. Prior to the appointment hereunder of any co-trustee, separate trustee, or custodian pursuant to this Section 6.09, such Person shall enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, relating to the satisfaction of such Person of its reporting obligations under Regulation AB with respect to any servicing performed by it in connection with the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any action or omission of any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such co-custodian or co-trustee is determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, no such co-custodian or co-trustee shall be vested with any powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement unless such party has agreed to comply with all Regulation AB requirements set forth under this Agreement or each Custodial Agreement, as applicable.

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

(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;

-95-

(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee, co trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed 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 Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee, co trustee, or custodian;

(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder; and

(iv) the Trustee or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee, co trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VI. 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 given to the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer.

(d) Any separate trustee, co trustee or custodian 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, co trustee or custodian 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.

(e) No separate trustee, co trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.05 hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment shall be required under Section 6.07 hereof.

(f) The Trustee agrees to instruct the co trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the Trustee’s obligations hereunder.

(g) The Trustee shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co trustees requested by the Trustee to be so appointed (which compensation shall not reduce any compensation payable to the Trustee) and, if paid by the Trustee, shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 6.12.

-96-

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as reports are required to be filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Trustee shall not utilize any Subcontractor for the performance of its duties hereunder if such Subcontractor would be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB without (a) giving notice to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Depositor and (b) requiring any such Subcontractor to provide to the Trustee an assessment report as provided in Section 9.25(a) and an attestation report as provided in Section 9.25(b), which reports the Trustee shall include in its assessment and attestation reports. The Trustee shall indemnify the Depositor and the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of each of the Depositor and the Master Servicer and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon the failure by the Trustee (i) to give notice of the engagement of any Subcontractor or (ii) to require any Subcontractor to provide the Trustee an assessment of compliance as provided in Section 9.25(a) and an attestation report as provided in Section 9.25(b). This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 6.10. Authenticating Agents.

(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and acceptable to any NIMS Insurer.

(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and any NIMS Insurer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10. No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and, if paid by the Trustee, it shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 6.12.

-97-

Section 6.11. Indemnification of Trustee.

The Trustee and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal proceeding or incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part (it being understood that the negligence or willful misconduct of any Custodian shall not constitute negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or its directors, officers, employees or agents for such purpose), arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder, the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, any Transfer Agreement, any Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, including any applicable fees and expenses payable pursuant to Section 6.12 and the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided that:

(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Holders written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof; provided that failure to so notify shall not relieve the Trust Fund of the obligation to indemnify the Trustee; however, any reasonable delay by the Trustee to provide written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Holders promptly after the Trustee shall have obtained knowledge of a claim shall not relieve the Trust Fund of the obligation to indemnify the Trustee under this Section 6.11;

(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall be construed to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental law.

Section 6.12. Fees and Expenses of Trustee and Custodian.

The Trustee shall be entitled to (i) receive, and is authorized to pay itself, the amount of income or gain earned from investment of funds in the Certificate Account and (ii) reimbursement of all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel and all persons not regularly in its employment and any amounts described in Section 10.01 to which the Trustee is entitled as provided therein), except for expenses, disbursements and advances that either (i) do not constitute “unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or (ii) arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Custodian shall receive compensation and reimbursement or payment of its expenses under the Custodial Agreement as provided therein; provided that, to the extent required under Section 6 or Section 20 of the Custodial Agreement, the Trustee is hereby authorized to pay such compensation or reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account prior to any distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof.

-98-

Section 6.13. Collection of Monies.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Trust Fund and shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement. If the Trustee shall not have timely received amounts to be remitted with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall request the Master Servicer to make such distribution as promptly as practicable or legally permitted. If the Trustee shall subsequently receive any such amount, it may withdraw such request.

(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(i) Any failure by the Master Servicer to furnish to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan data sufficient to prepare the reports described in Section 4.03(a) which continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to such Master Servicer by the Trustee or to such Master Servicer and the Trustee by any NIMS Insurer or Holders of not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates affected thereby; or

-99-

(vii) If a representation or warranty set forth in Section 9.14 hereof shall prove to be incorrect as of the time made in any respect that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or cured within 30 days after the date on which written notice of such incorrect representation or warranty shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates or by any NIMS Insurer; or

(viii) A sale or pledge of any of the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder or an assignment of this Agreement by the Master Servicer or a delegation of the rights or duties of the Master Servicer hereunder shall have occurred in any manner not otherwise permitted hereunder and without the prior written consent of the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and Certificateholders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates; or

-100-

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this Section 6.14 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each Class of Certificates or any NIMS Insurer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If an Event of Default described in clause (x) of this Section 6.14 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the time period prescribed by clause (x) of this Section 6.14, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, shall promptly terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee and pursuant to and under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, the parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of the Master Servicer’s obligations to the Trustee, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master 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 Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying the Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Collection Account maintained by such defaulting Master Servicer and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being terminated (or the Trust Fund, if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) as a result of an Event of Default shall bear all costs of a master servicing transfer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee reasonably allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary.

The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of master servicing from the predecessor Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master 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 master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. If the terminated Master 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 withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.04(b); provided that the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any such expense incurred by the Trust Fund.

-101-

Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided in Section 4.02(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (v), (vii) and (ix) to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer’s termination.

If any Event of Default shall occur of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee, shall promptly notify any NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Trustee shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remit funds on the Deposit Date.

(b) On or after the time the Master Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by any NIMS Insurer) receives a notice of termination from the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.28, the Trustee, within 90 days of such notice unless another master servicer acceptable to the NIMS Insurer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination. The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.14. In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee. The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of master servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

-102-

(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if any NIMS Insurer so requests in writing to the Trustee, request the Depositor to appoint, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution acceptable to the NIMS Insurer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer hereunder. Any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor master servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master 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 caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. No successor master 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 caused by (i) the failure of the terminated Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) the failure of the terminated Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement.

Section 6.15. Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of any NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith).

ARTICLE VII.

PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND

TERMINATION OF THE TRUST FUND

Section 7.01. Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of the Trust Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make a final remittance to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 9.10 and 9.14) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 7.01(b) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.

(b) On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination Date, the Master Servicer, with the prior written consent of any NIMS Insurer and the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, has the option to cause each of REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 to adopt a plan of complete liquidation and to purchase the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property related to the Mortgage Pool (the “Pool Assets”) for a price equal to the Purchase Price, pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof. Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Mortgage Pool shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus interest accrued thereon at the Mortgage Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date in the Collection Period immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the proceeds of such sale will be distributed to the holders of the Certificates, (ii) the fair market value of any REO Property related to the Mortgage Loans and any other property related to the Mortgage Loans held by any REMIC, such fair market value to be determined by an independent appraiser or appraisers mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee (reduced, in the case of REO Property, by (1) reasonably anticipated disposition costs and (2) any amount by which the fair market value as so reduced exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus interest accrued thereon at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the date of such purchase) and (iii) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and other amounts to be reimbursed pursuant to the immediately following sentence related to the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, if there are any NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer may only exercise its option after receiving the prior written consent of the holders of such NIM Securities and, if such consent is given, the Purchase Price shall also include an amount equal to the sum of (1) any accrued interest on the NIM Securities related to the Mortgage Loans, (2) the unpaid principal balance of any such NIM Securities and (3) any other reimbursable expenses owed by the issuer of the NIM Securities (the “NIM Redemption Amount”). If the Master Servicer fails to exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer will have the option to direct the Master Servicer to exercise such option so long as it is insuring the NIMS Securities or it is owed any amounts in connection with its guaranty of the NIM Securities. Following receipt of such notice from the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer shall advise the NIMS Insurer whether it will exercise the option under this Section 7.01(b) for its own account and using its own funds, or whether it will exercise such option in its own name but for the NIMS Insurer's account and utilizing the NIMS Insurer's funds. If the Master Servicer exercises such option for the NIMS Insurer's account, the NIMS Insurer will remit the Purchase Price to the Master Servicer one Business Day prior to the day the Master Servicer is required to remit the Purchase Price to the Trustee. Following its receipt from the NIMS Insurer of the entire Purchase Price and its subsequent remittance to the Trustee of the entire Purchase Price, the Master Servicer will convey to the NIMS Insurer all of the rights it receives from the Trustee with respect to the related Mortgage Loans as a result of such remittance. The Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or related REO Property for any Advances made or other amounts advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to any such entity under this Agreement, the related Servicing Agreement or the related Custodial Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid compensation and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer or the Trustee hereunder or the applicable Servicer or the applicable Custodian, to the extent such amounts relate to the Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 7.03, the Trustee shall distribute the assets of the Trust Fund on the Distribution Date on which the repurchase occurred. If the NIMS Insurer directs the Master Servicer to exercise such right as described above, then (i) the Master Servicer shall cause each REMIC to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as described above and (ii) the NIMS Insurer shall remit the Purchase Price in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer at least three Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date and, upon receipt of such funds from the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer shall promptly deposit such funds in the Collection Account. The NIMS Insurer shall be obligated to reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and REO Property related to the Mortgage Pool at the direction of the NIMS Insurer and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any claims arising out of or based upon the Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s purchase of the Pool Assets at the direction of the NIMS Insurer at the direction of the NIMS Insurer, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s, as the case may be, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 7.02. Procedure Upon Termination of Trust Fund.

(a) Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01 (or the retirement of Certificates), specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by first class mail to the Certificateholders and any NIMS Insurer, mailed upon (x) no later than five Business Days after the Trustee has received notice from the Master Servicer of its intent to exercise its right to cause the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b) (or the retirement of the Certificates) or (y) upon final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund. Such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the related Certificates. Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b), the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the applicable Certificates shall terminate and the Trustee shall terminate or request the Master Servicer to terminate, the Collection Account it maintains, the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the related Certificates, subject to the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.

-113-

(b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time 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 one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.

(c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund (or a Mortgage Pool thereof) shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from the liquidation of the related Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools.

Section 7.03. Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements.

Any sale pursuant to Section 7.01(b) shall be effected in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee seeks (at the request of the party exercising the option to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 7.01(b)), and subsequently receives, an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of such requesting party), addressed to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not (I) result in the imposition of taxes on any REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (II) cause any REMIC established hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(i) The Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Mortgage Pool for cash and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute the proceeds of such sale to the Certificateholders in complete liquidation of each REMIC; and

-114-

(ii) The Trustee shall attach a statement to the final Federal income tax return for each REMIC stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold such assets.

Section 7.04. Optional Purchase Right of NIMS Insurer.

The NIMS Insurer may purchase any Distressed Mortgage Loan for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of repurchase plus any unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances, General Servicing Fees or Trustee Fees and any unreimbursed expenses of the Trustee allocable to such Distressed Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase shall be accomplished by the NIM Insurer’s remittance of the purchase price for the Distressed Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account.

(b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as “Applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal business hours of the Trustee to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee or shall, as an alternative, send, at the Applicants’ expense, the written communication proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register.

(c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee, that none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 8.03. Acts of Holders of Certificates.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent and, where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the other of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the other.

-116-

Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

Section 9.01. Duties of the Master Servicer.

The Certificateholders, by their purchase and acceptance of the Certificates, appoint Aurora Loan Services LLC, as Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer upon request, with a copy of such policy and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall (i) require each Servicer to maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and the Servicer Fidelity Bond in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) cause each Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer any notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond received by it, as and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of such policies and of the certificates and notices referred to in clause (ii) to the Trustee upon request.

-117-

(b) The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in the Master Servicer Fidelity Bond or the Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall furnish to the Trustee, on request, certificates evidencing that such bond and insurance policy are in full force and effect. The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee all cases of embezzlement or fraud, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage Loans. The total losses, regardless of whether claims are filed with the applicable insurer or surety, shall be disclosed in such reports together with the amount of such losses covered by insurance. If a bond or insurance claim report is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Master Servicer shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the Master Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account.

-118-

Section 9.04. Power to Act; Procedures.

(a) The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, and each Servicer shall have full power and authority (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (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, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee, or the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of any Servicer (to the extent permitted in the applicable Servicing Agreement), when the Master Servicer or a Servicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan with MERS, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS system, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. The Master 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 Mortgage Loan and shall not make or knowingly permit any Servicer to make any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Servicer, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated to such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or a Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Certificateholders, the Trustee 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 Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee shall execute, upon request, any powers of attorney furnished to it by the Master Servicer empowering the Master Servicer or such Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder and to allow each Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans, in each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request of the Trustee the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co trustee pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

-119-

(b) In master servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall employ procedures, and shall exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises master servicing and administering loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, and may permit the Servicer to, in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge (but not any Prepayment Premium, except as set forth below) and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that the maturity of any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any extension described in clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.04 on the basis of the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not make or knowingly permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any material term of any Mortgage Loan unless: (1) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, (2) in the case of a waiver of a Prepayment Premium if (a) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if the prepayment is not the result of a refinancing by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates and (i) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the collection of the Prepayment Premium would be in violation of applicable laws or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Premium would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters, and (3) the Master Servicer shall have provided or caused to be provided to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall, if provided by the Master Servicer, be an expense reimbursed from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02(v)) in writing to the effect that such modification, waiver or amendment would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; provided, in no event shall an Opinion of Counsel be required for the waiver of a Prepayment Premium under clause (2) above.

-120-

Section 9.05. Enforcement of Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s Obligations.

(a) Each Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Any fees and other amounts payable to such Servicer shall be deducted from amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by the Servicer to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall not be an obligation of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Master Servicer.

(b) The Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action with respect to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan that the applicable Servicer is not required to take under the related Servicing Agreement and (ii) cause a Servicer to take any action or refrain from taking any action if the related Servicing Agreement does not require such Servicer to take such action or refrain from taking such action; in both cases notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement that requires the Master Servicer to take such action or cause such Servicer to take such action.

(c) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, upon obtaining actual knowledge of the failure of a Servicer to perform its obligations in accordance therewith, to the extent that such non-performance of such obligations would have a material adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the other parties hereto to enter into a Servicing Agreement (and such parties hereby agree to execute and deliver any such successor Servicing Agreement), with a successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, and then, (iii) to the extent that such amounts are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of such enforcement, from the Collection Account.

(d) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certifications or other information provided by the Servicers under the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, in its preparation of any certifications, notifications, filings or reports, in accordance with the terms hereof or as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

Section 9.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.

(a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which the Master Servicer or the Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments, water rates, Standard Hazard Insurance Policy premiums, Payaheads, if applicable, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the Servicing Agreements. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer. The Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, Standard Hazard Insurance Policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to pay such items), provided that it or the applicable Servicer has determined that the funds so advanced are recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02 or otherwise.

-121-

(b) Costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by the Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the terms of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs, to the extent that they are unanticipated, extraordinary costs, and not ordinary or routine costs shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02.

Section 9.07. Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers.

(a) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or a related Servicer, the Master Servicer shall either act as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the related Servicing Agreement.

The parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if such Servicer is unable to 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 Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

(b) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.

-122-

(c) If the Master Servicer acts as a successor servicer, it will have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable. To the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a successor servicer that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans for the Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable, the applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

Section 9.08. Master Servicer Liable for Enforcement.

Notwithstanding any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Servicing Agreements. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of each Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with the Servicers for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Master Servicer shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of any Servicer in the performance by such Servicer of its obligations under the related Servicing Agreement.

Section 9.09. No Contractual Relationship Between the Servicer, Any NIMS Insurer and Trustee or Depositor.

Any Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between such Servicer, the Seller and the Master Servicer, and the Trustee and the Depositor shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Servicer except as set forth in Section 9.10 hereof, but shall have rights thereunder as third party beneficiaries.

Section 9.10. Assumption of Servicing Agreement by the Trustee.

(a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), after a period not to exceed ninety days after the issuance of any notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.14 or Section 9.28, as applicable, the Trustee, or a successor master servicer appointed by it in accordance with Section 6.14, shall assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and therein to the same extent as if such Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under such Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Trustee against negligent or willful misconduct of the Trustee.

-123-

(b) The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer or at the expense of the Trust Fund, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

Section 9.11. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Easements.

(a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due on sale clauses, and to the extent that the Master Servicer has knowledge of the conveyance of a Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due on sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

(b) The Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person or any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be materially adversely affected thereby. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for processing such a request will be retained by the Master Servicer or such Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Section 9.12. Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon (i) becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, promptly notify the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request (on the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or on the form attached to the applicable Custodial Agreement) the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, to deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File; provided, however, that in lieu of sending a hard copy certification of a Servicing Officer, the Master Servicer may, or may cause the applicable Servicer to, deliver the request for release in a mutually agreeable electronic format, and to the extent that such a request, on its face, originates from a Servicing Officer, no original signature shall be required. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and neither the Trustee nor such Custodian shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Master Servicer is authorized, and the applicable Servicer, to the extent such authority is provided for under the related Servicing Agreement, is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Master Servicer, or by the applicable Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, or of the applicable Servicer, and delivery to the Trustee or such Custodian, of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit C, release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer). Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer or applicable Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Master Servicer or applicable Servicer no longer exists unless (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer) or (ii) the Mortgage File has been delivered directly or through a Servicer to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered directly or through a Servicer to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose of such delivery.

In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information. The Master Servicer shall afford the NIMS Insurer, and shall (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) cause the Servicer to afford the NIMS Insurer, upon reasonable advance notice, during normal business hours access to all records related to their respective rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer and the Servicer responsible for such obligations.

(c) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Trustee shall have a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files representing such Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now or hereafter held by, or under the control of, a Servicer or the Master Servicer that are collected by such Servicer or the Master Servicer in connection with the Mortgage Loans, whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest or as full or partial prepayments of principal or interest or as a Subsequent Recovery, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or other amounts to which such Servicer is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreement, or the Master Servicer or the Depositor is entitled to hereunder); and the Master Servicer agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by the Trustee or the any Custodian, all documents or instruments constituting part of the Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master Servicer or any Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer or such Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.

-126-

(d) The Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize any Servicer to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited in any Custodial Account, Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.

(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer (consistent with the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or such Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. To the extent that coverage is available, the Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to keep in force and effect, or to cause each Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not knowingly permit any Servicer to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(b) The Master Servicer agrees, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, to cause each Servicer to present, on behalf of 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 Mortgage Loans.

The Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) shall retain possession and custody of the originals of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies or certificate of insurance if applicable and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause the applicable Servicer to deliver to the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and any certificates of renewal thereof, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer or a Servicer from time to time.

Section 9.20. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to, or to cause the applicable Servicer to, foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Alternatively, the Master Servicer may take, or authorize the applicable Servicer to take, other actions in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan, which may include (i) accepting a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or permitting a short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate refinancing transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property), (ii) arranging for a repayment plan or (iii) agreeing to a modification in accordance with Section 9.04. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion or action, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with Section 9.18, follow such practices and procedures as it shall reasonably determine to be in the best interests of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders and which shall be consistent with its customary practices in performing its general mortgage servicing activities; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer is acting in connection with any such foreclosure or other conversion or action in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer, nor any Servicer, shall be required to expend its own funds or incur other reimbursable charges in connection with any foreclosure, or attempted foreclosure which is not completed, or toward the correction of any default on a related senior mortgage loan, 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 Mortgage Loan to the Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or charges and (ii) that such expenses and charges will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (as provided in Section 4.02).

-131-

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.20 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer.

Section 9.21. Compensation to the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account, subject to Section 5.05, the Master Servicing Fee to the extent permitted by Section 4.02. Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including any Prepayment Premium) shall be retained by the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer) and shall not be deposited in the Collection Account. If the Master Servicer does not retain or withdraw the Master Servicing Fee from the Collection Account as provided herein, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to pay the Master Servicing Fee to such Master Servicer by withdrawal from the Certificate Account to the extent that payments have been received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 4.01(e), all income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as compensation. The provisions of this Section 9.21 are subject to the provisions of Section 6.14.

Section 9.22. REO Property.

(a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, or cause the applicable Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such Servicing Agreement, as applicable, but in all events within the time period, and subject to the conditions set forth in Article X hereof. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall protect and conserve, or cause the applicable Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to such extent required by the related Servicing Agreement, subject to Article X hereof.

(b) The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited all funds collected and received by it, or recovered from the Servicer, in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Collection Account.

(d) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof (and the Master Servicer shall provide written notice to the Trustee upon such deposit) and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account on the next succeeding Deposit Date.

Section 9.23. Notice to the Sponsor, the Depositor and the Trustee.

(c) Not later than two Business Days prior to the Distribution Date of each month, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Sponsor and the Depositor notice of the occurrence of any material modifications, extensions or waivers of terms, fees, penalties or payments relating to the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period or that have cumulatively become material over time (Item 1121(a)(11) of Regulation AB) along with all information, data, and materials related thereto as may be required to be included in the related Distribution Report on Form 10-D, in each case solely as reported to the Master Servicer by the applicable Servicer. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 9.23(c) related to the timely preparation and delivery of such information is contingent upon each applicable Servicer strictly observing all requirements and deadlines in the performance of their duties under their related Servicing Agreements. The Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely deliver all such information where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any Servicer needed to prepare or deliver such information, which failure does not result from the Master Servicer’s own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

-133-

Section 9.24. Reports to the Trustee.

(a) Not later than 30 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall, upon request, forward to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer a statement, deemed to have been certified by a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the related Distribution Date, indicating that all distributions required by this Agreement to be made by the Master Servicer have been made (or if any required distribution has not been made by the Master Servicer, specifying the nature and status thereof) and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer.

Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer 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 resulting Person to the Master Servicer shall be a Person that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000.

Section 9.28. Resignation of Master Servicer.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.27 and 9.29 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless it or the Trustee determines that the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. No such resignation shall become effective until a period of time not to exceed 90 days after the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer receives written notice thereof from the Master Servicer and until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee, such successor master servicer being acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.

Section 9.29. Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of the Trustee or the Depositor to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint an Affiliate of the Master Servicer to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. In no case, however, shall any such delegation, subcontracting or assignment to an Affiliate of the Master Servicer relieve the Master Servicer of any liability hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fees and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, including amounts payable to or permitted to be retained or withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.21 hereof, shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as reports are required to be filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Master Servicer shall not utilize any Subcontractor for the performance of its duties hereunder if such Subcontractor would be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB without (a) giving notice to the Trustee and the Depositor and (b) requiring any such Subcontractor to provide to the Master Servicer an attestation report as provided for in Section 9.25(b) and an assessment report as provided in Section 9.25(a), which reports the Master Servicer shall include in its attestation and assessment reports.

Section 9.30. Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.

(a) The Master Servicer undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Master Servicer from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and, in absence of bad faith on the part of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(c) None of the Master Servicer, the Seller, any NIMS Insurer or the Depositor or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of any of them shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer, the Seller, any NIMS Insurer or the Depositor or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Seller, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them shall be entitled to indemnification by the Trust Fund and will be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of his or its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of his or its obligations and duties hereunder. The Master Servicer, the Seller, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them 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 Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of 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 Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account it maintains as provided by Section 4.02.

Section 9.31. Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) and hold each of them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Trustee may sustain as a result of (a) any material breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations hereunder, including particularly its obligations to provide any report under Section 9.25(a), Section 9.25(b) or Section 9.26 or any information, data or materials required to be included in any Exchange Act report, provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be liable for any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages pursuant to this Section 9.31, even of advised of the possibility of such damages, (b) any material misstatement or omission on any information, data, or materials provided by the Master Servicer, or (c) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Master Servicer in connection with its performance hereunder. The Depositor, the Sponsor, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Trustee to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of the Master Servicer as a party to this Agreement.

ARTICLE X.

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

Section 10.01. REMIC Administration.

(a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement and this Section 10.01 shall be made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement and this Section 10.01. For purposes of such designations, the interest rate of any regular interest that is computed by taking into account the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans shall be reduced to take into account any expense paid by the Trust to the extent that (i) such expense was not taken into account in computing the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan, (ii) such expense does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” of a REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii) the amount of such expense was not taken into account in computing the interest rate of a more junior Class of regular interests.

-139-

(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

(c) The Trustee shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Trustee shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC and Grantor Trust, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC or Grantor Trust that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Certificate Account of the expenses to the extent (x) provided in clause (i) above and (y) with respect to each REMIC, such expenses are “unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Any reimbursement described in the preceding sentence shall be allocated and limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Pool and shall be accounted for in such manner.

(d) The Trustee shall prepare, the Trustee shall sign, and the Trustee will file, all of each REMIC’s federal and state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the tax or information returns in respect of each Grantor Trust. The Trustee shall comply with such requirement by filing Form 1041. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.

(e) The Trustee or its designee shall perform on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC and Grantor Trust all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the Trust Fund or such REMIC or Grantor Trust under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.

(f) The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action, within their respective control and scope of their duties, or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action, within their respective control and scope of their duties, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

-140-

(g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Collection Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.

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

(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans.

(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(k) Upon the request of any Rating Agency or any NIMS Insurer, the Trustee shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Rating Agency and to the NIMS Insurer stating, without regard to any actions taken by any party other than the Trustee, the Trustee’s compliance with provisions of this Section 10.01.

(l) The Class P Certificates shall be neither regular interests nor residual interests in any REMIC created hereunder. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the segregated pool of assets consisting of any collections of Prepayment Premiums related to the Mortgage Loans shall constitute a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee, by its execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges the assignment to it of the rights to receive such Prepayment Premiums and declares that it holds and will hold such assets in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Class P Certificates. The rights of Holders of the Class P Certificates to receive distributions from the proceeds of such Prepayment Premiums, and all ownership interests of such Holders in and to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

-141-

(m) REMIC 1 shall consist of all of the assets of the Trust Fund (other than (i) the Lower Tier Interests, (ii) the grantor trusts described in Section 10.01 hereof, (iii) the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (iv) the rights to receive Prepayment Premiums distributable to the Class P Certificates and (v) the Class X Account. The REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be designated as the regular interests in REMIC 1, and the Class LT1-R Interest shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1. Each of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall have the characteristics set forth in the Preliminary Statement.

The assets of REMIC 2 shall be the REMIC 1 Regular Interests. The REMIC 2 Regular Interests shall be designated as the regular interests in REMIC 2 and the Residual Interest shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 2. For federal income tax purposes, the interest rate on each REMIC 2 Regular Interest (other than the Uncertificated Class X Interest) shall be subject to a cap equal to the REMIC Pass-Through Rate.

The beneficial ownership of the Class LT1-R Interest and the Residual Interest shall be represented by the Class R Certificate. Neither the Class LT1-R Interest nor the Residual Interest shall have a principal balance or bear interest.

(n) It is intended that the rights of each Class of Offered Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts written by the holders of the Class X Certificates in favor of the holders of each Class of the Offered Certificates and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart from the regular interests in REMIC 2 held by the holders of the Offered Certificates. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with REMIC interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistently with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that any of the Offered Certificates receive payments in respect of Excess Interest, such amounts will be treated as distributed by REMIC 2 to the Class X Certificates in respect of the Uncertificated Class X Interest pro rata and then paid to the relevant Class of Offered Certificates pursuant to the related interest cap agreement. The Trustee is hereby directed to perform its duties and obligations in accordance with this Section 10.01(n).

(o) The parties hereto intend that the Uncertificated Class X Interest, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the right to receive payments in respect of Class X Shortfalls as set forth in Section 10.01(p) and the obligation of the holders of the Class X Certificates to pay amounts of Excess Interest to the holders of the Offered Certificates shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class X Certificates information regarding their allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such grantor trust, (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable and (iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with respect to payments from such grantor trust to the holders of Offered Certificates as may be applicable under the Code. The Trustee is hereby directed to perform its duties and obligations in accordance with this Section 10.01(o).

-142-

(p) The excess, if any, of amounts payable with respect to the REMIC regular interests held by REMIC 2 over the amounts payable with respect to the REMIC 2 Regular Interests with respect to each Accrual Period shall, solely for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, be deemed earned by the Master Servicer as an additional fee, which amount shall be deemed paid by the Master Servicer to the holders of the Class X Certificates. It is intended that the rights of the holders of the Class X Certificates to receive such deemed payments (“Class X Shortfalls”) shall be treated as rights in respect of an interest rate cap contract written by the Master Servicer in favor of the holders of the Class X Certificates and shall be accounted for as property separate and apart from any REMIC regular interest represented by the Class X Certificates. This provision is intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with regular interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistently with such regulation. The holders of the Class X Certificates agree by their acceptance of such Certificates, that they will take tax reporting positions that allocate no more than a nominal value to the right to receive deemed payments in respect of Class X Shortfalls. The Master Servicer and Trustee shall agree to take tax reporting positions consistent with the allocations by the holders of the Class X Certificates of no more than a nominal value to the right to receive deemed payments in respect of Class X Shortfalls. For information reporting purposes, it will be assumed that such rights have no value. Each payment deemed made to the Class X Certificates in respect of Class X Shortfalls shall be treated for federal income tax purposes or having been paid to the Master Servicer as an additional servicing fee and then paid by the Master Servicer to the Holders of the Class X Certificates. The Trustee and Master Servicer agree and each holder or beneficial owner of a Class X Certificate agrees, by virtue of its acquisition of such Certificate or beneficial interest, to adopt tax reporting positions consistent with the payments deemed made to the Class X Certificates in respect of Class X Shortfalls as payments in respect of interest rate cap agreements written by the Master Servicer. The Trustee is hereby directed to perform its duties and obligations in accordance with this Section 10.01(p).

(q) Payments in the nature of expenses, reimbursements and indemnifications made from the Trust Fund shall be allocated and limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools (if applicable) and shall be accounted for in such manner.

(r) The Trustee shall treat the Class X Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Holder of the Class C Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC.

(s) REMIC 1: On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an expense of REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date. All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on each of the Mortgage Loans received with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess amounts shall be distributed to the Class LT1-R Interest.

-143-

On each Distribution Date,

(i) interest shortfalls with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than interest shortfalls attributable to Negative Amortization) shall be allocated to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests pro rata based on the interest otherwise accrued thereon;

(ii) the principal balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall be increased by the amount of interest accrued thereon (net of interest shortfalls allocated thereto pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i));

(iii) [Reserved];

If on any Distribution Date there is an increase in the Certificate Principal Amount of any Offered Certificate as a result of the proviso in the definition of Certificate Principal Amount, then there shall be a corresponding increase in the principal amount of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests allocated as follows:

(a) [Reserved]

(b) such increase shall be allocated among the REMIC 1 Marker Classes and the Class LT1-X Interest as follows:

first, to each of the REMIC 1 Marker Classes so that the principal balance of each such interest is as close as possible to 50% of the principal balance of its Corresponding Class; and

second, to the Class LT1-X Interest so that the principal balance of such interest is as close as possible to the sum of (x) 50% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (y) 50% of the Overcollateralization Amount.

(t) Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article 5 hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions with respect to a Class of Certificates in amounts that differ from those payable pursuant to the regular interest in REMIC 2 corresponding to such Class as amounts paid or received (as appropriate) pursuant to the interest rate cap contracts or notional principal contracts provided for in this Section. In no event shall any such amounts be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

Section 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of the REMIC holding such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution), a copy of which shall be provided to any NIMS Insurer, that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

-146-

Section 10.03. Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.

Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the NIMS Insurer, the Holder of the related Residual Certificate or the Trust Fund, as applicable, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Class X or Class R Certificateholder, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

Section 10.04. REO Property.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit any Servicer to, rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master Servicer has advised, or has caused such Servicer to advise, the Trustee in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(b) The Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, dispose of any REO Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Master Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing an Adverse REMIC Event. If the Master Servicer has received such an extension, then the Master Servicer, acting on the Trustee’s behalf hereunder, shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Master Servicer has not received such an extension and the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Master Servicer has received such an extension, and the Master Servicer or such Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer shall cause such Servicer, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be such Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three year period or the Extended Period, as the case may be.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

Section 11.03. Amendment.

(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and without notice to or the consent of any of the Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement in any Offering Document, or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the provisions of any Servicing Agreement, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or (iv) to add, delete, or amend any provisions to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code and the REMIC Provisions. No such amendment effected pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, result in an Adverse REMIC Event, nor shall such amendment effected pursuant to clause (iii) of such sentence adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder. Prior to entering into any amendment without the consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this Section. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Holder, if the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer receive written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating assigned to the Certificates (and any Opinion of Counsel requested by the Trustee in connection with any such amendment may rely expressly on such confirmation as the basis therefor).

-148-

(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) 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; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners.

(c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and to the Rating Agencies.

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 11.03 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment of any Servicing Agreement unless (i) such amendment is effected pursuant to the standards provided in this Section with respect to amendment of this Agreement and (ii) except for a Permitted Servicing Amendment, any such amendment pursuant to Section 11.03(a)(iii) shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.03, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee to the extent necessary, in the judgment of the Depositor and its counsel, to comply with the Rules, Regulation AB and any related rules and regulations.

-153-

(vi) If the successor servicer is not a Servicer of Mortgage Loans at the time of the transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prior Servicer shall be obligated to perform the items listed above to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.
