In the event that with respect to any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage or (b) any recorded assignments or interim assignments satisfying the requirements of clause (iii) or (iv) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent] [Additional] Mortgage Loan, the Transfer Date)]. The Depositor or the Servicer shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian a copy of such Mortgage certified (to the extent such certification is reasonably obtainable) by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

In addition, in the event that with respect to any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying the requirements of clause (vi) above, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because the related Mortgage or a related assignment has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee such original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, and in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent] [Additional] Mortgage Loan, the Transfer Date)].

Subject to the immediately following sentence, as promptly as practicable subsequent to the transfer pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.1, and in any event within 30 days thereafter, the Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor, shall as to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Depositor delivers an assignment of the Mortgage in blank pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(A) of this Section 2.1, (i) complete each such assignment of Mortgage to conform to clause (b)(iii)(B) of this Section 2.1, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records, and (iii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of the Mortgages, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such assignments in recordable form, the Servicer’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within 30 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Mortgaged Property is located in any state other than the Required Recordation States.

With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor, shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.

In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent] [Additional] Mortgage Loan, the Transfer Date)], the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, will deposit in the Custodial Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof.

The Seller shall at its expense deliver to the Servicer copies of all trailing documents required to be included in the Mortgage File at the same time the originals or certified copies thereof are delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, such documents to include but not be limited to the mortgagee policy of title insurance and any mortgage loan documents upon their return from the recording office.

Section 2.2

Acceptance by Indenture Trustee of the Trust Estate; Review of Documentation.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1, the Issuer acknowledges receipt of the assets transferred by the Depositor of the assets included in the Trust Estate and has directed that the documents referred to in Section 2.1 and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” be delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee.

The Custodian, by execution and delivery, hereof, and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the initial certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Initial Certification”) and the Custodian declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Noteholders.

The Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent] [Additional] Mortgage Loan, the Transfer Date)] to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Servicer, an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Based on the Custodian’s review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification and subject to any exceptions noted in the schedule attached to such certification, the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent] [Additional] Mortgage Loan, the Transfer Date)], the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event there are exceptions to the Final Certification, the Custodian may transmit such exceptions electronically (via email) to the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, subject to the prior approval of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.

If, in the course of such review, the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 hereof (the “Mortgage Loan Document Requirements”), the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Indenture Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Servicer or the Seller and the Indenture Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit C. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Collection Account on or prior to the Deposit Date for the Payment Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Indenture Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. The foregoing remedy against the Seller for failure to deliver Mortgage Loans that satisfy the Mortgage Loan Document Requirements is provided in the Sale Agreement (which, in turn, has been assigned to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof).

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

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 hereof shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Indenture Trustee and any Noteholder against the Depositor or the Seller.

(iv)

the Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and the performance by it and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction, which violation would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Seller or any of its properties or materially and adversely affect the performance of any of its duties hereunder;

(d)

The Depositor represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Seller, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Securityholders that, as of the Closing Date:

(i)

the Depositor is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation and has, and had at all relevant times, full corporate power to own its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii)

the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor and the performance by it of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not (A) violate the Depositor’s articles of incorporation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach or acceleration of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or which may be applicable to the Depositor or any of its assets or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such contract, agreement or other instrument;

(iii)

the Depositor has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated by it, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(iv)

the Depositor is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor and the performance by it and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction, which violation would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Depositor or any of its properties or materially and adversely affect the performance of any of its duties hereunder; and

(v)

there are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Depositor pending or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit its entering into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of any of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.

(e)

Pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, the Depositor has assigned to the Issuer, in trust, for the benefit of Securityholders, its rights under the Sale Agreement, including each representation and warranty of the Seller (and the applicable remedies) set forth in the Sale Agreement in respect of the Mortgage Loans.

(f)

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller in respect of the Mortgage Loans that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders in any such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties hereto. The Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach such of any representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in any Mortgage Loan (it being understood that any such breach shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust therein, if the Trust incurs a loss as the result of such breach), it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan from the Trust and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Indenture Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit C and the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies against the Seller. With respect to the representations and warranties described in this Section which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Noteholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date. For the month of substitution, payments to Noteholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Noteholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made by Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as provided in the following paragraph, the Custodian shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Noteholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Indenture Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Seller on or before the Deposit Date for the Payment Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Note Payment Account prior to the Payment Date in the month following the month during which the Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit C hereto, the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Noteholders, to the Seller, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the Custodian to execute and deliver at the Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Indenture Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee on their behalf.

The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3 (and the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans made in the Sale Agreement) shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(g)

Upon discovery by the Issuer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Administrator shall require the Seller, at the Seller’s option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.3(e) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.3. The Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Section 2.3.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.1

Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

[(a)] For and on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Standard. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust or the Noteholders, in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under this Agreement; and provided, further, that unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent, the Servicer may not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust) in full compliance with the Servicing Standard in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in the name of the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Noteholders, 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 held for the benefit of the Noteholders.

In accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall make or cause to be made Servicing Advances as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof, and further as provided in Section 3.8 hereof. The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly payments to the Noteholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.8 of this Agreement, and agree that no Servicing Advance shall be rejected or disallowed by any party unless it has been shown that such Servicing Advance was not made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for any Pre Cut-off Date Servicing Advances in the same manner and to the same extent as any other Servicing Advance is reimbursable hereunder.

The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and/or the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney (substantially in the form of Exhibit F) and other documents in form as provided to it that are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and/or the Master Servicer to execute in the name of the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, all documents reasonably required to perform the servicing functions described in this Article III or Article IIIA. The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer or the Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such Person’s misuse of any such power of attorney.

[(b) The Servicer shall, in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers of fixed and adjustable rate open-end home equity mortgage loans, approve and make disbursements of principal in connection with Mortgagor drafts upon the Credit Line approved in connection with each Revolving Credit Loan. The Servicer shall provide to the Mortgagors all checks, drafts or other documentation necessary for such Mortgagors to obtain a Credit Line Advance. On each Servicer Remittance Date, with respect to each Credit Line Advance disbursed by the Servicer and reported to the [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator], the Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself, from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account, in an amount equal to (i) the principal amount of each unreimbursed Credit Line Advance disbursed by Servicer with respect to a Revolving Credit Loan and (ii) interest, at the Credit Advance Rate, on the principal amount of each such Credit Line Advance from the date such Credit Line Advance was disbursed by Servicer to but not including such date reimbursement is received by the Servicer. In the event that there are insufficient funds on deposit in the Custodial Account on any Servicer Remittance Date to reimburse the Servicer as provided in the preceding sentence (such shortfall, an “Advance Reimbursement Shortfall Amount”), the Servicer shall deliver to [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator] a request for reimbursement of the amount of such Advance Reimbursement Shortfall Amount at least three Business Days prior to such Servicer Remittance Date. The [Administrator] shall promptly reimburse the Servicer on such Servicer Remittance Date for such Advance Reimbursement Shortfall Amount.]

[(c) The Servicer, at its discretion and in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers of fixed and adjustable rate open-end home equity mortgage loans, may perform any of the following actions in connection with a Revolving Credit Loan:

(i) with the approval of the [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator], increase the amount of the related Credit Line;

(ii)

with the approval of the [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator], terminate a dormant Revolving Credit Loan, to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Note;

(iii)

permit payments from the Mortgagor of interest only during the period when Credit Line Advances may be made; or

(iv)

with the approval of the [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator], eliminate the ability of the Mortgagor to make future drafts upon the Credit Line, or reduce the Credit Line, to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Note.]

[(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer shall, in servicing the Revolving Credit Loans, follow and comply with the servicing guidelines established by Xxxxxx Xxx, and, consistent with Home Equity Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Revolving Credit Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and is consistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Revolving Credit Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer shall not permit any modification of any material term of any Revolving Credit Loan, including any modification that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Revolving Credit Loan. In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Revolving Credit Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Servicer Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, make a Delinquency Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.19, in an amount equal to the difference between (i) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Revolving Credit Loan and (ii) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such Delinquency Advances to the same extent as for all other Delinquency Advances made pursuant to Section 3.19. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator], all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Upon the request of the Servicer, the [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator] shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents, furnished to it by the Servicer and reasonably satisfactory to the [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator], necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not, without the [Indenture Trustee’s and the Administrator’s] written consent: (i) initiate any action suit or proceeding solely under the [Indenture Trustee’s or the Administrator’s] name without indicating the Servicer’s representative capacity; or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the [Indenture Trustee and the Administrator] to be registered to do business in any state. Promptly after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Revolving Credit Loan, the Servicer shall forward to the [Master Servicer] copies of any documents evidencing such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Revolving Credit Loan that would cause any REMIC created under the Trust Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer shall not, without specifically notifying the Trustee and Master Servicer in writing and obtaining the Trustee’s prior written consent:

(i)

make any future Delinquency Advances with respect to a Revolving Credit Loan in excess of the Credit Line with respect to such Revolving Credit Loan;

(ii)

make any Servicing Advance in excess of $[ ];

(iii)

permit any modification with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance or change the final maturity date on such Revolving Credit Loan;

(iv)

sell any Specially Serviced Revolving Credit Loan;

(v)

forgive any principal or interest on, or permitting to be satisfied at a discount, any Revolving Credit Loan; or

(vi)

accept substitute or additional collateral, or release any collateral, for a Revolving Credit Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not (unless the Servicer determines, in its own discretion, that there exists a situation of extreme hardship to the Mortgagor), waive any premium or penalty in connection with a prepayment of principal of any Revolving Credit Loan, and shall not consent to the modification of any Mortgage Note to the extent that such modification relates to payment of a prepayment premium or penalty.

In servicing and administering the Revolving Credit Loans, the Servicer shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides, and the Seller’s reliance on the Servicer.]

Section 3.2

Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of the Servicer; Subcontractors.

(a)

The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a subservicer, which may be an affiliate of the Servicer, pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer and rights of the Servicer to reimbursement of Advances shall constitute rights of the Subservicer to the extent any such Advances are made by or on behalf of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or other subcontractor or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, (i) the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any subservicer or other subcontractor that performs any of the functions identified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB must agree in writing that, if the [Administrator] or the Depositor determines that such subcontractor was “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122, such subcontractor will comply with the provisions of Sections 3.16(b), 3.17(b) and 3.17(c) to the same extent as if such subservicer were the Servicer. All actions of each subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer.

(b)

For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a subservicer or other subcontractor regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the subservicer or other subcontractor to the Servicer.

(c)

As a condition to the utilization of any Subservicer determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall obtain from any such Subservicer used by the Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor such Subservicer’s written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) to comply with the provisions of Sections [ ] of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer.

(d)

As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall obtain from any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor such Subcontractor’s written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) to comply with the provisions of Sections [ ] of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer.

Section 3.3

Rights of the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee in Respect of the Servicer.

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

Section 3.4

Successor Servicer or Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.

(a)

In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of a Servicer Termination Event or a Servicer Event of Default), the Seller shall appoint, subject to subsection (b) hereof, a successor Servicer acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such an appointment will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the rating of any of the Notes. Such successor Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (provided that such successor Servicer shall not be (i) liable for losses of the predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 3.5(e) hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the predecessor Servicer hereunder). If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of a Servicer Termination Event or any Servicer Event of Default), the successor Servicer shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the predecessor Servicer under any subservicing agreement then in force.

(b)

In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of a Servicer Termination Event or a Servicer Event of Default), the Seller shall appoint a successor Servicer within fourteen (14) calendar days following notification to the Servicer of termination pursuant to Article VII, or within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the Seller receives notification that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer.

(c)

In the event that (i) the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of a Servicer Termination Event or a Servicer Event of Default as defined in Section 7.1 herein) and (ii) the Seller shall not have appointed a successor Servicer acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies, the Master Servicer shall succeed as Servicer and assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter; provided, however, that, without affecting the immediate termination of the rights of the Servicer hereunder, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition not to exceed 90 days (the “Transition Period”) before any such servicing transfer to the Master Servicer is fully effected. During the Transition Period, the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the lack of information and documents that it cannot reasonably obtain on a practicable basis under the circumstances. If the Master Servicer shall become the successor Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.4(c), the Master Servicer shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the predecessor Servicer under any subservicing agreement then in force.

(d)

In the event that a successor Servicer assumes the rights and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 3.4, the predecessor Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Master Servicer or the successor Servicer, but at the expense of the predecessor Servicer or at the expense of the Trust if not paid by the predecessor Servicer (or at the expense of the successor Servicer or the Seller in the case of a termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.1(c)), deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to any subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the resignation, removal or termination of the Servicer become effective until a successor Servicer, appointed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, shall have been appointed and shall have assumed in writing all of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement to be performed by the Servicer from and after the date of such resignation, removal or termination, as applicable, and assumption; pending such date, the Servicer shall remain obligated to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Servicer has received a notice of termination in accordance with Article VII of this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event, if the Master Servicer shall be obligated to make, and makes, any Delinquency Advances pursuant to Section 3.19 prior to the appointment of a successor Servicer or the assumption of servicing obligations by the Master Servicer, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all such Delinquency Advances by the successor Servicer or, if not by the successor Servicer, then at the same time and in the same manner as the Servicer is entitled to be reimbursed for Delinquency Advances hereunder.

(g)

Following any transfer of servicing as provided in this Section 3.4, the predecessor Servicer and any successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the Master Servicer) shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effect any such succession of servicing, including, without limitation, providing servicing transfer notices to borrowers and to other interested parties as requested by the successor Servicer (any such notices to be in a format acceptable to the successor Servicer). The predecessor Servicer agrees to deliver promptly to such successor, electronically or physically, as the case may be, all files, data and funds related to the Mortgage Loans, of the types provided for in this Agreement. The predecessor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Master Servicer and any successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the predecessor Servicer’s servicing responsibilities and rights under this Agreement and shall promptly provide the Administrator, the Master Servicer or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by the successor Servicer to enable it to assume the predecessor Servicer’s functions under this Agreement. The predecessor Servicer shall promptly transfer to the successor Servicer all amounts that then have been or should have been deposited in the Custodial Account, the Collection Account and any escrow account by the predecessor Servicer or that are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any collections received by the predecessor Servicer after such removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it to the successor Servicer and remitted directly to such successor Servicer. All costs and expenses associated with the provisions of this Section 3.4(g) shall be borne by the predecessor Servicer, provided, that in the event the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(c), the Seller shall cause any successor Servicer appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to pay (or the Seller shall pay, if the successor Servicer does not) such costs and expenses; provided, further, that in the event the Master Servicer is not reimbursed for any such costs and expenses it incurred in connection with any servicing transfer pursuant to Section 7.1(a) by the predecessor Servicer, the successor Servicer or the Seller, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from funds in the Collection Account.

Section 3.5

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Custodial Account; Collection Account; Note Payment Account and Certificate Distribution Account.

(a)

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts (or shall cause each subservicer to make reasonable efforts) in accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or penalty interest and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan 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 such arrangement, any Delinquency Advance required to be made by the Servicer on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof (i) with respect to the Prepayment Period in which such arrangement became effective shall be made in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without giving effect to the modification thereof by reason of such arrangements and (ii) with respect to any Prepayment Period thereafter shall be made in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan as so modified. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.

The Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.21 hereof with respect to each Prepayment Penalty related to the Mortgage Loans.

(b)

The Servicer shall establish and maintain (or shall cause each subservicer to establish and maintain) a Custodial Account entitled “[Name of Servicer or such subservicer] in Trust for [ ], as Indenture Trustee for Aegis Asset Backed Securities Trust 20[ ]-[ ] Mortgage Backed Notes,” for the benefit of the Noteholders into which the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited as soon as practicable following receipt but in no event later than two Business Days after receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(i)

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

(ii)

all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the related Servicing Fee and any Compensating Interest payments required to be deposited by the Servicer hereunder;

(iii)

any Prepayment Penalty required to be deposited by the Servicer hereunder;

(iv)

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

(v)

any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.5(f) in connection with any losses on Eligible investments;

(vi)

any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.9(b) and (d) hereof, and in respect of net monthly rental income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;

(vii)

all Substitution Adjustment Amounts; and

(viii)

all Delinquency Advances made by or on behalf of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.19 hereof.

The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee (subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.14), payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer. For so long as the Initial Advance Facility has not been terminated, amounts attributable to reimbursements of Advances, if collected, shall be remitted by the Servicer (or the Subservicer on its behalf) as provided above and shall not under any circumstances be retained by the Servicer (or the Subservicer on its behalf). If the Initial Advance Facility is terminated, amounts attributable to reimbursements of Advances need not be remitted by the Servicer. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Custodial Account to withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Custodial Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall be held in trust for the Noteholders, until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8.

If the Custodial Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall establish a new Custodial Account that is an Eligible Account within 15 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Custodial Account into such new Custodial Account.

(c)

The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Noteholders, a Collection Account entitled “[ ] in trust for [ ], as Indenture Trustee for Aegis Asset Backed Securities Trust 20[ ]-[ ] Mortgage Backed Notes.” On each Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Administrator for deposit in the Note Payment Account the Total Remittance Amount for such date, to the extent received by it or required to be funded by it. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited by it pursuant to Section 3.5(f) in connection with losses on Eligible Investments in the Collection Account.

In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted by it, it may at any time direct the Master Servicer to withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Master Servicer, which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Collection Account. All funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be held by the Master Servicer in escrow for the Noteholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Master Servicer incur liability for withdrawals from the Collection Account at the direction of the Servicer.

If the Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within 15 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Collection Account into such new Collection Account.

(d)

The Administrator shall establish and maintain, on behalf of Noteholders, the Note Payment Account. On each Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Administrator, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, for deposit in the Note Payment Account the Total Remittance Amount for such date. In addition, the Administrator shall deposit in the Note Payment Account any amounts required to be deposited by it pursuant to Section 3.5(f) in connection with losses on Eligible Investments in the Note Payment Account.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted by it, it may at any time direct the Administrator to withdraw such amount from the Note Payment Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrator which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Note Payment Account. All funds deposited in the Note Payment Account shall be held by the Administrator in trust for the Noteholders, until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Administrator incur liability for withdrawals from the Note Payment Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.

If the Note Payment Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Administrator shall establish a new Note Payment Account that is an Eligible Account within 15 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Note Payment Account into such new Note Payment Account.

(e)

The Administrator, for the benefit of the Residual Holder, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Issuer on behalf of the Residual Holder an account (the “Certificate Distribution Account”) entitled “Certificate Distribution Account, [ ], as Administrator, in trust for the holder of the Aegis Asset Backed Securities Trust 20[ ]-[ ] Ownership Certificate.” The Certificate Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. If an existing Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Administrator shall establish a new Certificate Distribution Account that is an Eligible Account within 10 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Certificate Account into such new Certificate Account.

On each Payment Date, the Administrator shall withdraw from the Note Payment Account all amounts required to be deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(xi) and deposit such amounts into the Certificate Distribution Account. On each Payment Date, the Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, shall distribute all amounts on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. On the Payment Date on which the Class Principal Amount of the Notes is reduced to zero, the Administrator shall distribute all amounts remaining on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement in order to clear and terminate the Certificate Distribution Account in connection with the termination of this Agreement.

All distributions made on the Ownership Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Residual Holder. The final distribution on the Ownership Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Ownership Certificate at the location specified in the notice to the Residual Holder of such final distribution.

(f)

Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account shall be invested as directed by the Servicer; amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested as directed by the Master Servicer; and amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested as directed by the Administrator, in each case in Eligible Investments which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Custodial Account, the Business Day next preceding the related Servicer Remittance Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Servicer Remittance Date), (ii) in the case of the Collection Account, the Business Day next preceding the related Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Deposit Date), (iii) in the case of the Trust Accounts, the Business Day next preceding the related Payment Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Payment Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation; all income and gain net of the Indenture Trustee Fee, the Owner Trustee Fee and any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as master servicing compensation; and all income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Note Payment Account and Certificate Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Administrator. The amount of any realized losses in the Custodial Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account, the amount of any realized losses in the Collection Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and the amount of any realized losses in the Note Payment Account or Certificate Distribution Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited therein by the Administrator. The Indenture Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the Custodial Account, the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account or the Certificate Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.5.

Section 3.6

Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

(a)

To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by or on behalf of the Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

(b)

Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.1 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.9 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust.

(c)

The Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced, as Servicing Advances, any payments referred to in Section 3.6(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to make or cause to be made any such Servicing Advance if such Servicing Advance, in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.7

Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall afford the Issuer, the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and the Master Servicer, reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon five Business Days’ prior written notice and during normal business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.

Upon five Business Days’ prior written notice, the Servicer shall provide to each Noteholder that is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company, certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such Noteholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Notes; provided that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Noteholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and access.

Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.7 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

[to reimburse itself for the amount of any Credit Line Advances made by or on behalf of the Servicer and not timely reimbursed by the Administrator in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof] ; and

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

(viii)

to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

(c)

The Administrator shall withdraw funds from the Note Payment Account for payments to Noteholders and the Certificate Distribution Account, and from the Certificate Distribution Account for distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, in each case in the manner specified in this Agreement. In addition, the Administrator (1) shall, until the first Payment Date following the date on which the Initial Advance Facility has been terminated, on each Payment Date prior to making the payments required pursuant to Section 4.1, make a withdrawal from the Note Payment Account, based solely on information received from the Subservicer and the Servicer, in the amount of the Advance Reimbursement Payment for such Payment Date and pay such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Initial Advance Facility Counterparty, and (2) may prior to making the payments required pursuant to Section 4.1 from time to time make withdrawals from the Note Payment Account for the following purposes:

(vi)

to clear and terminate the Trust Accounts upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

Section 3.9

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies.

(a)

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan; (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; and (iii) the maximum amount available in the locality of the related Mortgaged Property from insurers generally acceptable to institutional residential mortgage lenders without payment of extraordinary premium. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly payments to the Noteholders or remittances to the Administrator for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer as Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.

(b)

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on any or all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans so covered, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

(c)

The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Notes and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.

The Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to 80% (or such lower Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be provided by applicable law) as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new appraised value (or other method of determination as may be provided by applicable law) or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

The Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (other than any Bulk PMI Policy premium), and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be recoverable by the Servicer as Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances.

(d)

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

Section 3.10

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

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, enforcement is permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if, in its sole business judgment, the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Xxxxxxxxx and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

(b)

Subject to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Indenture Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Indenture Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Indenture Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee for execution by it, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Indenture Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Section 3.11

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a)

Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3.5(a), 3.11(b), 3.11(f), and 3.11(i), the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances.

(b)

If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a one mile radius of any site with material environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and shall proceed with such in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure only if the Servicer reasonably determines that doing so shall more like than not be in the best interests of the Trust, considering all relevant factors including such environmental matters. For the purpose of this Section, actual knowledge of the Servicer means actual knowledge of a Servicing Officer involved in the servicing of the relevant Mortgage Loan at the time such knowledge was acquired. Actual knowledge of the Servicer does not include knowledge imputable by virtue of the availability of or accessibility to information relating to environmental or hazardous waste sites or the locations thereof.

(c)

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

(d)

In the event that the Trust acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

(e)

In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not a “United States person,” as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligor on such Mortgage Loan.

(f)

The decision of the Servicer to foreclose, or to continue the foreclosure process, on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the related Mortgaged Property will not fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and that the proceeds of such foreclosure would more likely than not exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding and liquidating the REO expected to be obtained through such foreclosure. Promptly upon making any determination in accordance with the preceding sentence not to foreclose, or to discontinue the foreclosure process, as to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer identifying the Mortgage Loans as to which such determination has been made setting forth the basis for such determination in a form acceptable to the Master Servicer.

(g)

The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees and Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Collection Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.

(h)

The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Delinquency Advances; third, to reimburse the Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Delinquency Advance has been made for such amount or any such Delinquency Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be part of Monthly Excess Cashflow.

(i)

Notwithstanding any provision hereof, in connection with the foreclosure or other conversion of defaulted assets, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities.

(j)

The Residual Holder, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase for its own account from the Trust any Distressed Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any REO Property may be disposed of pursuant to the preceding Section 3.11(i). The total price calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence for any Distressed Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account and the Custodian, upon receipt of the Request for Release from the Servicer in the form of Exhibit C hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator or the Noteholders, with respect thereto.

(k)

The Depositor shall have the option to purchase, at any one time (but only one time during the period in which the Agreement is in effect), 1.0% (and in any case, at least five Mortgage Loans) of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of such date, at a purchase price equal to the greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loans and (B) the aggregate fair market value of such Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans that may be purchased by the Depositor pursuant to this paragraph will be selected by the Depositor in its sole discretion. If at any time the Depositor exercises such option, the Depositor shall immediately notify or cause to be notified the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian by a certification (which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.5 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File.

(l)

Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Servicer in connection with transferring the servicing of any Mortgage Loans pursuant to paragraphs (j) and (k) shall be the responsibility of the party purchasing such Mortgage Loans.

(m)

Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage Files to the Depositor or its designee.

[(n) Subject to Section 3.1 hereof, the Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Revolving Credit Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which (a) in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, no satisfactory arrangements can, in accordance with prudent lending practices, be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.1 and (b) such foreclosure or other conversion is otherwise in accordance with Section 3.1. The Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration, repair, protection or maintenance of any property unless it shall determine that such expenses will be recoverable to it as Servicing Advances either through Liquidation Proceeds or through Insurance Proceeds or from any other source relating to the Specially Serviced Revolving Credit Loan. The Servicer shall be required to advance funds for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such foreclosure proceedings (including funds necessary to pay off the first lien, if any, on the related Mortgaged Property; provided that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property.]

Section 3.12

Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian by delivering, or causing to be delivered (or the Administrator may deliver), to the Custodian two copies of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit C, which shall be signed by a Servicing Officer, or a Responsible Officer of the Administrator, as the case may be, or in mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer, or a Responsible Officer of the Administrator, as the case may be. Upon receipt of such request, the Custodian shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee shall at the Servicer’s direction execute and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, in each case as provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. In lieu of the document execution process described in the preceding two sentences, the Servicer shall be authorized to execute each request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance, and release, satisfaction of mortgage, or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage as attorney in fact for the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the powers of attorney described in Section 3.1. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Custodian shall, upon delivery to it of two copies of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit C, which shall be signed by a Servicing Officer, or a Responsible Officer of the Administrator, as the case may be, or in mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer, or a Responsible Officer of the Administrator, as the case may be, release the Mortgage File to the Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Collection Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit C, signed by a Servicing Officer.

Section 3.13

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

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall transmit to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, all documents and instruments described in Section 2.1(b), and shall hold as Servicer and agent of the Indenture Trustee all other documents, in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Indenture Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Indenture Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection Account, Note Payment Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Administrator for the benefit of the Noteholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 3.14

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Custodial Account an amount equal to the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan, provided that the aggregate Servicing Fee with respect to any Payment Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any Compensating Interest paid by the Servicer with respect to such Payment Date.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) all income and gain net of any losses realized from Eligible Investments and (ii) assumption fees, late payment charges, all ancillary income and other receipts not required to be deposited to the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof, excluding any Excess Proceeds and Prepayment Penalties, shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. The Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by them respectively in connection with their respective activities hereunder to the extent such expenses do not constitute Delinquency Advances or Nonrecoverable Advances as defined in this Agreement and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

Section 3.15

Access to Certain Documentation.

The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate Notes and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request submitted on at least 5 Business Days’ notice (or such shorter interval as is necessary to comply with applicable law or regulation) and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

(c)

On or before March 1 of each applicable year, commencing in 20[ ], the Servicer (and the Master Servicer, if the Master Servicer (or any of its Affiliates) has, during the course of any fiscal year, directly serviced, as a successor Servicer, any of the Mortgage Loans) at its expense shall cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of Independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Master Servicer, the Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of mortgage loans under transfer and servicing agreements substantially similar in material respects to this Agreement and substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or alternatively, if the Administrator has so elected, the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, and setting forth such firm’s conclusions relating thereto in accordance with the applicable attestation program or audit program. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of Independent public accountants with respect to the related subservicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Administrator to any Noteholder upon request at the Servicer’s expense, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Administrator. Delivery of such statement to the Administrator is for informational purposes only and the Administrator’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, including the Servicer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Administrator is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

The Servicer shall for so long as it acts as Servicer under this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents.

The Servicer shall determine on or before each Determination Date whether it is required to make a Delinquency Advance. The Servicer shall advance funds in the amount of any Scheduled Payment that was due during the related Collection Period and not received by the Servicer as of the related Determination Date; provided that in no event shall the Servicer be required to make any such Delinquency Advance that, if made, would in the good faith judgment of the Servicer be a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if a Delinquency Advance is required to be made hereunder, the Servicer shall on or before the Servicer Remittance Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Delinquency Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Custodial Account that funds in such account being held for future payment or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 3.19, used by the Servicer to make such Delinquency Advance or (iii) make Delinquency Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Delinquency Advance. Any such funds being held in the Custodial Account for future payment and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Custodial Account to the extent required on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date in which such funds would be due.

Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article VII, in the event that the Servicer fails to remit a Delinquency Advance required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.19, the Master Servicer shall, unless it determines that such Delinquency Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer or AMC (on behalf of the Seller, as owner of the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans) to make, such Delinquency Advance on or before the Payment Date following the Servicer Remittance Date on which such Delinquency Advance should have been made.

The obligation to make Delinquency Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has not been liquidated. The Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer on the related Servicer Remittance Date an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any proposed Delinquency Advance that, if made, would in the good faith judgment of the Servicer be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.20

Advance Facility.

(a)

Each of the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee is authorized to execute such documents and enter into such agreements as shall be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the purposes of the Initial Advance Facility. Until the Initial Advance Facility has been terminated, no amendment to this Agreement relating to the reimbursement of Advances shall be made without the prior written consent of the Initial Advance Facility Counterparty.

(b)

The Servicer is hereby authorized, following the termination of the Initial Advance Facility, to enter into any facility with any Person (any such Person, an “Advance Facility Counterparty”) under which the Servicer may pledge or sell its rights to receive reimbursement of Advances pursuant to this Agreement (“Advance Reimbursement Rights”) pursuant to credit facilities, repurchase facilities, or similar facilities providing liquidity for the funding of Advances, including facilities providing that such Advance Facility Counterparty may make all or a portion of the Advances (any such facility, an “Advance Facility”), although no Advance Facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligations to fund such Advances. If so required pursuant to the terms of an Advance Facility, to the extent that an Advance Facility Counterparty makes all or a portion of any Delinquency Advance and the Advance Facility Counterparty and the Servicer provide the Administrator with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advance Facility Counterparty is entitled to reimbursement, such Advance Facility Counterparty shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided. Such notice from the Advance Facility Counterparty, if so required, and the Servicer must specify the amount of the reimbursement and must specify which Section of this Agreement permits the Delinquency Advance to be reimbursed. The Administrator shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Counterparty’s statement with respect to the amount of any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 3.20 and with respect to the Advance Facility Counterparty’s statement with respect to the Section of this Agreement that permits the Delinquency Advance to be reimbursed. An Advance Facility Counterparty whose obligations are limited to the making of Advances will not be deemed to be a subservicer under this Agreement.

(c)

If so required pursuant to the terms of an Advance Facility, the Servicer is hereby authorized to and shall pay to the Advance Facility Counterparty, or cause the payment to the Advance Facility Counterparty of, (i) reimbursements for Advances; and (ii) all or such portion of the Servicing Fee as may be so specified in the Advance Facility, that would otherwise be payable to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, it being understood that neither the Trust nor any party hereto shall have a right or claim (including without limitation any right of offset) to the portion of the Servicing Fee or the Servicer’s right to reimbursement of Advances so assigned, provided that any successor Servicer shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the Servicing Fee or its right to reimbursement of Advances to any such Advance Facility.

(d)

Whether or not an Advance Facility is in place, reimbursement amounts allocated to reimburse Advances made with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to the reimbursement of the unreimbursed Advances made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first out” (“FIFO”) basis, such that the reimbursement amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Advance for that Mortgage Loan that was disbursed earliest in time first, and to reimburse the Advance for that Mortgage Loan that was disbursed latest in time last. Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to reimburse Servicing Advances outstanding with respect to that Mortgage Loan before being applied to reimburse Delinquency Advances outstanding with respect to that Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall provide to the related Advance Facility Counterparty loan-by-loan information with respect to each reimbursement amount remitted to such Advance Facility Counterparty, to enable the Advance Facility Counterparty to make the FIFO allocation of each such reimbursement amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan.

(e)

Upon request of the Servicer and provision by the Servicer of all necessary forms, the Administrator agrees to execute such reasonable acknowledgments, certificates, and other reasonable documents recognizing the interests of any Advance Facility Counterparty in such Advance Reimbursement Rights and Servicing Fees as the Servicer may cause to be made subject to Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.20, and such other documents in connection with such Advance Facilities as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any Advance Facility Counterparty. The implementation of the arrangement described in this Section shall not require the consent of Noteholders, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee.

(f)

The Servicer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trust and each Noteholder for any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses resulting from any claim by the Advance Facility Counterparty, except (with respect to the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Master Servicer and any successor Servicer) to the extent that such claim, loss, liability, damages or expense results from or arises out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Master Servicer or successor Servicer, as applicable.

(g)

Any amendment to this Section 3.20 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Administrator, the Custodian, [the Credit Risk Manager] and the Indenture Trustee without the consent of any Noteholder, provided that such amendment is otherwise effected in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.1. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by each party hereto or incurred by (or that would otherwise be incurred by) the Trust shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) any Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Facility Counterparty under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances to the extent provided herein, and none of the Master Servicer, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee is, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the Advance Facility Counterparty; (ii) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Facility Counterparty the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances funded by the Advance Facility Counterparty, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) none of the Master Servicer, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee shall have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Facility Counterparty.

Section 3.21

Prepayment Penalties.

The Servicer or any designee of the Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a Prepayment Penalty that prepays during the term of the penalty. If the Servicer or its designee fails to collect the Prepayment Penalty upon any prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that contains a Prepayment Penalty, the Servicer shall, at the time of such prepayment, deposit into the Custodial Account from the Servicer’s own funds an amount equal to the Prepayment Penalty that was not collected. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer or its designee may waive a Prepayment Penalty without depositing the amount thereof into the Custodial Account the amount of the Prepayment Penalty if (i) the Mortgage Loan is sixty-one (61) days or more delinquent and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) the prepayment is not a result of a refinance by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates and (a) the Mortgage Loan is foreseen to be in default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan, (b) the collection of the Prepayment Penalty would be in violation of applicable laws or (c) the collection of such Prepayment Penalty 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. The Servicer shall be obligated to collect Prepayment Penalties under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan without regard to the amount of Prepayment Penalty set forth for such loan in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

Section 3.22

Actions with Respect to Distressed Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer will exercise its discretion, consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the enforcement and servicing of Distressed Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest with respect thereto, including but not limited to the sale of such Mortgage Loan to a third party, the modification of such Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure upon the related Mortgaged Property and disposition thereof. The Residual Holder shall have the option to purchase any such loans from the Trust at the Purchase Price.

The Seller may appoint, with the written consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Administrator, a Special Servicer to special service any Distressed Mortgage Loans and any such Special Servicer so appointed shall report directly to the Master Servicer in executing its duties and obligations under this Section 3.22 or Article IIIA. Any applicable termination fee related to the termination of the Servicer and the appointment of any Special Servicer shall be paid by the Seller. Any fees paid to any such Special Servicer shall not exceed the Servicing Fee Rate. The Special Servicer shall have the same discretion as is granted to the Servicer above with respect to Distressed Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.8(a) for any unreimbursed Advances or accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees relating to any such Distressed Mortgage Loan that is transferred to a Special Servicer pursuant to this Section.

Section 4.6

Control of the Trust Accounts.

(a)

The Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby appoint the Administrator as Securities Intermediary with respect to the Trust Accounts. The Issuer has, pursuant to the Indenture, granted to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest to secure all amounts due Noteholders hereunder in and to the Note Payment Account and the Security Entitlements to all Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts, including without limitation all amounts, securities, investments, Financial Assets, investment property and other property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Note Payment Account and all proceeds thereof, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Issuer, as collateral agent for the benefit of the Residual Holder, a security interest to secure all amounts due the Residual Holder hereunder in and to the Certificate Distribution Account and the Security Entitlements and all Financial Assets credited to the Certificate Distribution Account, including without limitation all amounts, securities, investments, Financial Assets, investment property and other property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Certificate Distribution Account and all proceeds thereof. Amounts held from time to time in the Note Payment Account shall continue to be held by the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, for the benefit of the Noteholders, and amounts held from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account shall continue to be held by the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of the Issuer, as collateral agent, for the benefit of the Residual Holder. Upon the termination of the Issuer or the discharge of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall inform the Securities Intermediary of such termination. By acceptance of their Securities or interests therein, the Securityholders shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrator as Securities Intermediary. The Administrator hereby accepts such appointment as Securities Intermediary.

(b)

With respect to the Trust Account Property credited to the Trust Accounts, the Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(i)

with respect to any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts, each such deposit account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Securities Intermediary, and the Securities Intermediary shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(ii)

the sole assets permitted in the Trust Accounts shall be those as the Securities Intermediary agrees to treat as Financial Assets; and

(iii)

any such Trust Account Property that is, or is treated as, a Financial Asset shall be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or other eligible institution maintaining any Trust Accounts in accordance with the Securities Intermediary’s customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary or such other institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee (or the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account) with respect thereto over which the Securities Intermediary or such other institution has Control.

(c)

The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) each Trust Account is an account to which Financial Assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to any Note Payment Account, and the Issuer, as collateral agent, as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to the Certificate Distribution Account, (B) all Trust Account Property in respect of any Trust Account will be promptly credited by the Securities Intermediary to such account, and (C) all securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Trust Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case (x) will any Financial Asset credited to the Note Payment Account be registered in the name of the Depositor or the Issuer, payable to the order of the Depositor or the Issuer or specially endorsed to the Depositor or the Issuer, or (y) will any Financial Asset credited to the Certificate Distribution Account be registered in the name of the Depositor, payable to the order of the Depositor or specially endorsed to the Depositor, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

(d)

The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to any Trust Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset.

(e)

If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement Order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Note Payment Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Depositor, the Issuer or any other Person. If at any time the Indenture Trustee notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that the Issuer has been terminated or the Indenture discharged in accordance herewith and with the Trust Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable, and the security interest granted pursuant to the Indenture has been released, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Depositor or the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Indenture Trustee or any other Person.

If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement Order from the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Depositor or any other Person. If at any time the Issuer notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that the Issuer has been terminated in accordance herewith and with the Trust Agreement and the security interest granted above has been released, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Depositor directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Issuer or any other Person.

(f)

In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Trust Account or any Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee, in the case of the Note Deposit Account, or of the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account. The Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee in the case of the Note Payment Account, or of the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (i) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Trust Accounts and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Trust Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(g)

There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary in such capacity and the Depositor or the Issuer with respect to any Trust Account. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any provision of this Agreement) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

(h)

The rights and powers granted under the Indenture and herein to (x) the Indenture Trustee have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in the Note Payment Account and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and (y) the Issuer have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in the Certificate Distribution Account and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of the Depositor or the Issuer nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Note Payment Account or of the Issuer in the Certificate Distribution Account, and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing.

(i)

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Depositor and the Issuer agree that the Trust Accounts will be established only with the Securities Intermediary or another institution meeting the requirements of this Section, which by acceptance of its appointment as Securities Intermediary agrees substantially as follows: (1) it will comply with Entitlement Orders related to the Note Deposit Accounts issued by the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, without further consent by the Depositor or the Issuer, and with Entitlement Orders related to the Certificate Distribution Account issued by the Issuer, as collateral agent, without further consent by the Depositor; (2) until termination of the Issuer or discharge of the Indenture, it will not enter into any other agreement related to such accounts pursuant to which it agrees to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent with respect to the Note Payment Account or the Issuer, as collateral agent with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account; and (3) all assets delivered or credited to it in connection with such accounts and all investments thereof will be promptly credited to the applicable account.

(j)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator to make withdrawals and distributions from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Administrator or the Issuer to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

(k)

Each of the Depositor and the Issuer agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments (including, without limitation, any financing statements under the relevant UCC or this Agreement) as may be necessary to perfect the interests created by this Section in favor of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and otherwise fully to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section. The Depositor shall:

(i)

promptly execute, deliver and file any financing statements, amendments, continuation statements, assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to such interests and perform all such other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the perfection of the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Account Property;

(ii)

make the necessary filings of financing statements or amendments thereto within five days after the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any change in its corporate name or any trade name or its jurisdiction of organization; (2) any change in the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business; and (3) any merger or consolidation or other change in its identity or corporate structure and promptly notify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any such filings; and

(iii)

Neither the Depositor nor the Issuer 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 mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee. Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuer 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 Indenture Trustee, in the Trust Account Property. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents relating to the Trust Account Property, each of the Depositor and the Issuer authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee, to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings as provided in the Indenture.

None of the Securities Intermediary or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary shall be under any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Securities Intermediary against any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders which would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Securities Intermediary’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder. The Securities Intermediary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of such document. The Issuer shall indemnify the Securities Intermediary for and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability, except in those cases where the Securities Intermediary has been guilty of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Securities Intermediary.

(c)

At any time when the Issuer is permitted to terminate the Swap Agreement, the Cap Agreement or the Class N Cap Agreement pursuant to the terms of such agreement (whether due to the occurrence of an event of default, a termination event or otherwise), the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall terminate such Swap Agreement, Cap Agreement or Class N Cap Agreement in writing (with a copy to the Administrator) (i) subject to the Rating Agency Condition or (ii) at the written direction of any Rating Agency; provided that prior to or simultaneously with any termination of the Swap Agreement, the Cap Agreement or the Class N Cap Agreement by the Issuer as a result of any downgrade of the ratings of the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty, the Class N Cap Counterparty or their respective credit support providers, the Issuer shall have entered into a substitute Swap Agreement, Cap Agreement or Class N Cap Agreement, as applicable.

Any Person into which the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Seller or [the Credit Risk Manager] may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Seller or [the Credit Risk Manager] shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Seller or [the Credit Risk Manager] shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller or [the Credit Risk Manager], as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf of, FNMA or FHLMC.

(b)

Other than as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 6.2, in the event that the Servicer determines that it will no longer engage in the business of servicing residential mortgage loans, the Servicer shall so notify the Seller and the Depositor in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Seller may transfer the servicing of the Mortgage Loans from the Servicer to a successor mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency, and the Residual Holder, and such mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the resigning Servicer hereunder. If the Seller either (x) does not respond within thirty (30) calendar days to the notice delivered to it pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph or (y) advises the Servicer in writing that the Seller does not intend to exercise its right to transfer the servicing, then the Servicer may assign its rights under this Agreement to a successor mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, each Rating Agency, and the Residual Holder, provided that (i) each of the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, each Rating Agency, and the Residual Holder shall have delivered their consent to such assignment in writing to the Servicer and to each other such party, (ii) the consent of each Rating Agency shall be evidenced by a letter to the effect that the ratings assigned to any Class of Notes will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result of such transfer and (iii) the Servicer shall be liable for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the resigning Servicer to a successor Servicer; and provided, further, that the resigning Servicer shall indemnify the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Administrator, each Noteholder, the successor Servicer and any subservicer for, and hold each such party harmless against, any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, and judgments, and any and all other costs, fees and expenses, that any such party may sustain in any related to such assignment. No assignment by the Servicer shall become effective until the requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied and a successor Servicer shall have entered into an agreement pursuant to which such successor shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the resigning Servicer hereunder (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor, which shall continue to be the responsibility of the resigning Servicer). Any such assignment shall not relieve the resigning Servicer of responsibility for any of its liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations have been expressly assumed by the successor Servicer.

Section 6.3

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

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, [the Credit Risk Manager] or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller or [the Credit Risk Manager] shall be under any liability to the Noteholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, [the Credit Risk Manager] or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, or [the Credit Risk Manager] or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, [the Credit Risk Manager], the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, [the Credit Risk Manager] or the Custodian may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, [the Credit Risk Manager] and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, or [the Credit Risk Manager] shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the performance of their respective obligations hereunder or under the Notes, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller or [the Credit Risk Manager] shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller or [the Credit Risk Manager] may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders 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, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller and [the Credit Risk Manager] shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.

Section 6.4

Limitation on Resignation of Servicer.

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor Xxxxxxxx and receipt by the Master Servicer of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the Notes, or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

Section 6.5

Reporting Requirements of the Commission and Indemnification.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Servicer and the Master Servicer (i) agrees to negotiate in good faith any amendment or modification (including an indemnification agreed to in connection therewith) to this Agreement as may be necessary, in the judgment of the Depositor and its counsel (as evidenced by an opinion of such counsel addressed to the Servicer and the Master Servicer), to comply with any rules promulgated by the Commission and any interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission (collectively, “SEC Rules”) and (ii) shall with reasonable notice and upon written request within reasonable timeframes intended to comply with the SEC Rules provide to the Depositor for inclusion in any periodic report required to be filed under the Exchange Act such items of information regarding this Agreement and matters related to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, including as applicable (by way of example and not limitation), a description of any material litigation or governmental action or proceeding involving the Servicer, the Master Servicer or their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Servicer Information”), provided, that such information shall be required to be provided by the Servicer or the Master Servicer only to the extent that it shall be determined by the Depositor and its counsel (as evidenced by an opinion of such counsel addressed to the Servicer and the Master Servicer) to be necessary to comply with any SEC Rules.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT; REPORTS

Section 7.1

Events of Default.

(a)

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

(i)

any failure by the Servicer to (a) deposit in the Custodial Account or (b) remit to the Master Servicer any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, which failure (x) in the case of clause (a) above, shall continue unremedied for five days, or (y) in the case of clause (b) above, shall continue unremedied for one Business Day, after (in each case) the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Master Servicer or the Depositor or to the Master Servicer by the Holders of Notes having not less than 50% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Notes; or

(ii)

any failure by the Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, which failure materially affects the rights of Noteholders, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Master Servicer, the Seller, or the Depositor, or to the Servicer and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Notes; provided, however, that the 60-day cure period shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans nor the failure to substitute or repurchase in lieu thereof; or

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

(v)

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

(vi)

failure by the Servicer to maintain its license to do business or service residential mortgage loans in any jurisdiction, if required by such jurisdiction, where the Mortgaged Properties are located, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer, except to the extent that such failure does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel provided by the Servicer to the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such failure does not have a materially adverse effect on the Servicer’s ability to service the related Mortgage Loans, or on the Trust; or

(vii)

the Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of a Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac seller/servicer.

Upon determination by the Master Servicer that a Servicer Event of Default has occurred, the Master Servicer (a) may terminate the Servicer hereunder, if in its judgment such termination is in the best interests of the Trust; or (b) shall terminate the Servicer hereunder, if instructed to do so by the Residual Holder or Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Notes exercised in writing following delivery to such Holders by the Master Servicer of notice of the occurrence of such Servicer Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

Upon any such termination, the Seller shall enter into a substitute servicing arrangement with another mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Residual Holder, under which such mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the terminated Servicer hereunder. In no case shall the termination of the Servicer due to a Servicer Event of Default become effective until the successor Servicer (which may include the Master Servicer) has succeeded to the obligations of Servicer under this Agreement, and the terminated Servicer shall be obligated to continue servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights and protections provided to the Servicer under this Agreement until such time as the successor Servicer shall have assumed in writing all of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement (the “Termination Period”), as provided in Section 3.4(e) of this Agreement. During the Termination Period, neither the successor Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall be responsible for the lack of information and documents that it cannot reasonably obtain on a practicable basis under the circumstances. As compensation to the Master Servicer or the successor Servicer for any servicing obligations fulfilled or assumed by such party, such party shall be entitled, following the Termination Period, to any servicing compensation to which the terminated Servicer would have been entitled if such Servicer had not been terminated. Additionally, the successor Servicer (whether the Master Servicer or an entity appointed by the Seller) shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer (or from the Trust if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor Servicer, including, without limitation, any reasonable “out-of-pocket” 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 successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.

(b)

Without regard to whether a Servicer Event of Default has occurred, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Seller shall terminate the Servicer hereunder and appoint a successor mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Residual Holder, under which such mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the terminated Servicer hereunder.

(c)

Without regard to whether a Servicer Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event has occurred, the Seller, as owner of the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall retain the right, in its sole discretion and at any time with 30 days’ advance notice, without cause, to terminate the Servicer (including any successor thereto) hereunder and appoint a successor mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Residual Holder, which mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the terminated Servicer hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1(c), as a condition to such termination, the Servicer shall be fully reimbursed (i) by the successor Servicer or by the Seller (but not by the Master Servicer as successor Servicer) for all unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by it, and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, in each case on or prior to the date on which the servicing is transferred to a successor Servicer and (ii) by the Seller for any “out-of-pocket” costs incurred by the Servicer associated with the transfer of servicing by the Servicer.

(d)

Upon notice of termination of the Servicer pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.1, the Seller shall appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 3.4.

(e)

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder and except as otherwise provided under Section 7.1(c), the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of any payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating such Servicer’s rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(i) through (viii), and any other amounts payable to the Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

In no event shall the termination of the Servicer under this Agreement result in any diminution of the Servicer’s right to reimbursement for any outstanding Advances or accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees due such Servicer at the time of termination. Except as otherwise provided under Section 7.1(c), the successor Servicer shall be obligated to promptly reimburse the terminated Servicer for outstanding Advances, if any, made by it, and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees; provided, however, that such reimbursement obligation shall be limited to the funds available in the Custodial Account for such purposes pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(ii), (iii) and (v) of this Agreement. In addition, any such reimbursement for outstanding Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees shall be made on a first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis no later than the 18^th day of each month, provided that the successor Servicer has received prior written notice from the appropriate party, pursuant to this Agreement, of such reimbursement amount, and provided, further, that the successor Servicer may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fully reimburse the predecessor Servicer for any such outstanding Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees from its own funds. The Servicer shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3, notwithstanding any termination hereunder, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination.

(f)

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

(i)

any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Note Payment Account or the Certificate Distribution Account any amounts required to be remitted by it pursuant to this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for one Business Day, after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor or by the Holders of Notes having not less than 50% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Notes provided, however, that such failure to timely deposit or remit shall not be considered a Master Servicer Event of Default if the Master Servicer and the Administrator are the same Person and such failure to timely deposit or remit does not delay payments to Noteholders; or

(ii)

any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.3, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Interests; or

(iii)

a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or

(iv)

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

(v)

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

If a Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 50% of Voting Interests evidenced by the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Indenture Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes (other than as a Holder of any Note) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Indenture Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.1(f), the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee assigned to and working in the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Indenture Trustee and such notice references the Notes, the Trust or this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.

To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Indenture Trustee related to the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a successor Master Servicer or the transfer and assumption of the master servicing by the Indenture Trustee (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Master Servicer as a result of a Master Servicer Event of Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of the master servicing, including all master servicing files and all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be required by the successor Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Note Payment Account.

Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee, in the case of a Master Servicer Event of Default, or the Master Servicer, in the case of a Servicer Event of Default, shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.3

Filings.

(a)

[The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial current report on Form 8-K. Thereafter, within 15 days (or, if applicable, within such shorter period of time as is required under the SEC Rules) after each Payment Date, the Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (XXXXX), a Form 10-D with (i) a copy of the statement to the Securityholders for such Payment Date as an exhibit thereto, [(ii) a copy of each report made available by the Credit Risk Manager (provided each such report is made available to the Administrator in a format compatible with XXXXX filing requirements)] and (iii) such other information as is required by Form 10-D, including, but not limited to, the information required by Item 1121 (§ 229.1121) of Regulation AB, so long as such information is made available to the Administrator in a format compatible with XXXXX filing requirements. Prior to January 30, 20[ ], the Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, if applicable. On or prior to March 20, 20[ ] (or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day), the Administrator shall prepare a Form 10-K, and submit it to the Depositor. The Depositor shall execute the Form 10-K and return it to the Administrator no later than March 25, 20[ ] (or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day). Prior to March 30, 20[ ], the Administrator shall file the Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust.

The Administrator shall have no liability for any delay in filing the Form 10-D, Form 10-K or Form 10-K Certification due to the failure of any party to sign such Form 10-D, Form 10-K or Form 10-K Certification. The Depositor hereby grants to the Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute and file each Form 10-D on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Administrator from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this section.]

(b)

If so requested, the Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E) for the benefit of the Person(s) signing the Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of such Form 10-K Certification (provided, however, that the Administrator shall not be required to undertake an analysis of the accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).

(c)

Each Person (including their officers or directors) that signs any Form 10-K Certification shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any liability or expense incurred by it in connection with such certification, other than any liability or expense attributable to such Person’s own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this subsection shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of such Person.

(d)

Upon any filing with the Commission, the Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any executed report, statement or information.

(e)

The fiscal year of the Trust for all filing purposes shall be the calendar year.

the purchase by the Residual Holder or its designee (or the Servicer, to the extent provided herein) of all Mortgage Loans (including REO Properties not otherwise disposed of pursuant to Section 3.11(i)) remaining in the Trust at a price equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan, (B) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by a real estate broker meeting the qualifications, and applying broker’s price opinion methodology, generally acceptable to residential mortgage servicers, or other property valuation opinion methodology customarily used by residential mortgage servicers with respect to defaulted loans and (y) the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, (C) any costs and damages incurred by the Trust as a result of violation of any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending law in connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan and (D) any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Counterparty as a result of a termination pursuant to this Section 9.1. In addition, such purchase price shall include with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including REO Properties) accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as determined by the Servicer, at the applicable Mortgage Rate, except to the extent the Servicer was not or would not be required to make a Delinquency Advance hereunder, and any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Custodian, the Administrator and/or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; and

(ii)

the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Delinquency Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and the disposition of all REO Property and (B) the payment to Noteholders and the Swap Counterparty of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof, and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (i) above shall be conditioned upon the Pool Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Balance.

At any time after the Initial Optional Purchase Date, the Servicer may notify the Residual Holder in writing that the Servicer intends to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the purchase price specified in clause (i) above. If the Residual Holder does not exercise its option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as provided in this Section within 30 days following receipt of such notice, the Servicer may effect such purchase.

(b)

With respect to any purchase pursuant to subsection (a), upon deposit of the price determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) in the Note Payment Account, the Issuer and the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of each such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan (including appropriate instruments with respect to any REO Property), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan sold pursuant hereto, and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with respect thereto.

Section 9.2

Final Payment on the Notes.

If on any Determination Date the Administrator determines that there are no outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Administrator shall promptly send a final payment notice to each Securityholder. If the Residual Holder elects to terminate the Trust pursuant to clause (a)(i) of Section 9.1, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Securityholders, the Residual Holder shall notify the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator of the date the Residual Holder intends to terminate the Trust and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date on which Securityholders may surrender their Securities for payment of the final payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Administrator by letter to Securityholders and the Swap Counterparty, mailed not earlier than the 10^th day and no later than the 15^th day of the month next preceding the month of such final payment. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Payment Date upon which final payment on the Securities will be made upon presentation and surrender of Securities at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final payment, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Securities at the office therein specified. The Administrator will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Securityholders.

In the event such notice is given, the Administrator shall reimburse the Master Servicer and the Servicer (or subservicer) for any amounts to be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Servicer (or subservicer) pursuant to this Agreement from funds in the Collection Account prior to remitting the balance of the funds in the Collection Account to the Note Payment Account. The Administrator shall cause all remaining funds in the Collection Account to be remitted to the Administrator for deposit in the Note Payment Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Payment Date in an amount equal to the sum of the final payment in respect of the Securities and any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty (to the extent not paid on previous Payment Dates). Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust and the receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release therefor, the Custodian shall promptly release to the Residual Holder or the Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Securities, the Administrator shall cause to be paid to the Noteholders of each Class and to the Certificate Distribution Account for application as provided in the Trust Agreement, in each case in the order set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, on the final Payment Date, and in the case of the Noteholders, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Noteholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Notes, the Class Principal Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Class Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing Note, and (ii) as to the Certificate Distribution Account, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Note Payment Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.

In the event that any affected Securityholders shall not surrender Securities for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Securityholders to surrender their Securities for cancellation and receive the final payment with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Securities shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Securityholders concerning surrender of their Securities, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust. If within one year after the second notice all Securities shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual Holder shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets held for payment to such Securityholders, which remain subject hereto.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 10.1

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Issuer, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Administrator, the Custodian, [the Credit Risk Manager] and the Indenture Trustee without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Swap Counterparty (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to the Notes, the Trust Estate or this Agreement in any disclosure document pursuant to which any Notes were offered; to correct any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add, with such Person’s consent, to the duties of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Administrator, the Custodian, [the Credit Risk Manager] or the Indenture Trustee, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder, (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement or (vi) to comply with any rules promulgated by the Commission; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and [the Swap Counterparty] (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Trust), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or [the Swap Counterparty]; provided, however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Noteholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Notes; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Issuer, Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Administrator, the Custodian, [the Credit Risk Manager] and the Indenture Trustee also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Noteholders or [the Swap Counterparty], to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to comply with any requirements of the Code, provided that the Indenture Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Trust, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Administrator, the Custodian, [the Credit Risk Manager] and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of [the Swap Counterparty] and the Holders of a Majority Interest of each Class of Notes affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Notes; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Notes in a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Notes of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such Notes then outstanding.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Noteholders, [the Swap Counterparty] and the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Noteholder and each Rating Agency.

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

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Indenture Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Trust), satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.1.

Section 10.2

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Administrator at its expense, but only upon direction by a majority of the Noteholders to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Noteholders. However, the foregoing sentence notwithstanding, the Servicer may provide copies hereof to counsel, judicial officers and government agencies, or may cause this Agreement to be recorded, in any jurisdiction in which, in the Servicer’s judgment, such disclosure or recording may facilitate foreclosure or other recovery with respect to any one or more of the Mortgage Loans.

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

Section 10.3

Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 10.4

Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the Seller (as provided in the Sale Agreement) and the Depositor that the conveyance of the Trust Estate by the Depositor to the Issuer be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Issuer. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Issuer. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of such parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Estate, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

The Depositor, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Estate, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

Section 10.5

(a)

The Administrator shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency and [the Swap Counterparty] with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

(i)

any material change or amendment to this Agreement;

(ii)

the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;

(iii)

the resignation or termination of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of any successor;

(iv)

the repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof;

(v)

(vi)

any rating action involving the long-term credit rating of the Indenture Trustee, which notice shall be made by first-class mail within two Business Days after the Indenture Trustee gains actual knowledge thereof.

In addition, the Administrator shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency and [the Swap Counterparty] copies of the following:

(i)

Each report to Noteholders described in Section 4.5 hereof;

(ii)

Upon request, each annual statement as to compliance described in Section 3.16 hereof;

(iii)

Upon request, each annual Independent public accountants’ servicing report described in Section 3.17 hereof; and

(iv)

Any notice of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 3.11 hereof.

(b)

All directions, demands, authorizations, consents, waivers, communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by first class mail, facsimile or courier to the applicable Notice Address. Notices to Noteholders shall be deemed given when mailed, first class postage prepaid, to their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register.

Section 10.6

Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Notes or the rights of the Holders thereof.

Section 10.7

Assignment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 6.2, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor.

Section 10.8

Limitation on Rights of Noteholders.

The death or incapacity of any Noteholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such Noteholder’s legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

No Noteholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Notes be construed so as to constitute the Noteholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Noteholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Noteholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Notes shall also have made written request to the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Noteholder with every other Noteholder and the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Noteholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.8, each and every Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 10.9

Inspection and Audit Rights.

The Servicer agrees that, on five Business Days’ prior notice, it will permit and will cause each subservicer to permit any representative of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Administrator, during the Servicer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Administrator, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Indenture Trustee hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Administrator, of any right under this Section 10.9 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection (which, in the case of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Administrator, shall be reimbursable to such Person from funds then on deposit in the Note Payment Account); all other such expenses shall be borne by the Servicer or the related subservicer. The party requesting such inspection agrees to hold all such information in confidence and shall not disclose such information without the consent of the Servicer (unless required by law or a court of applicable jurisdiction).

Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 10.9 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.

Section 10.10

(b)

Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Seller, [the Credit Risk Manager] and the Depositor shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of this Agreement, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause any Person to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Trust under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, Indenture Trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Trust or any substantial part of their respective property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Trust.
