W I T N E S S E T H: In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: PRELIMINARY STATEMENT The Trustee shall elect that five segregated asset pools within the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, (iii) the Supplemental Interest Trust, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account, and (v) the right of the LIBOR Certificates to receive Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising five REMICs (each, a "Trust REMIC" or, in the alternative, Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class X REMIC, respectively). The Class X Interest, Class IO Interest and each Class of LIBOR Certificates (other than the right of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive (i) Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and (ii) the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls) represents ownership of a regular interest in a REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class RX Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Class X REMIC. The Class RC Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class R Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each of Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Start-up Day for each Trust REMIC is the Closing Date. The latest possible maturity date for each regular interest is the latest date referenced in Section 2.04. The Class X REMIC shall hold as assets the Class UT-X Interest and the Class UT-IO Interest as set out below. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests, set out below. The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests. Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall hold as assets the assets of the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, (iii) the Supplemental Interest Trust, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account, and (v) the right of the LIBOR Certificates to receive Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls). For federal income tax purposes, each Class of LIBOR Certificates, the Class X Certificates and the Class P Certificates represent beneficial ownership of portions of the Trust Fund which shall be treated as a grantor trust as more fully described in Section 8.11. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall issue the following interests in Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, and each such interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interests with an "I" in their designation shall relate to Loan Group I and Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interests with a "II" in their designation shall relate to Loan Group II. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall also issue the Class RC Certificates. The Class RC Certificates are hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in Pooling-Tier REMIC-1. The Class RC Certificates shall have a $100 Class Certificate Balance and shall have no interest rate.

(2) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class LT-Group I Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the weighted average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests (other than the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests) relating to Loan Group I. (3) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class LT-Group II Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the weighted average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests (other than the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests) relating to Loan Group II. (4) For all Distribution Dates, the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of these Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be rounded to eight decimal places. (5) This Lower-Tier Regular Interest is an interest-only interest and does not have a Lower-Tier Principal Amount. On each Distribution Date, this Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest distributable on the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests. (6) This Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall not be entitled to interest and shall have a Lower-Tier Principal Amount at all times equal to the Class Certificate Balance of the Class RX Certificates. (7) The Class LT-R Interest does not have a principal amount or an interest rate. Each Lower-Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2A, Class LT-A-2B, Class LT-A-2C, Class LT-A-2D, Class LT-M-1, Class LT-M-2, Class LT-M-3, Class LT-M-4, Class LT-M-5, Class LT-M-6, Class LT-M-7, Class LT-B-1, Class LT-B-2, Class LT-B-3 and Class LT-B-4 Interests are hereby designated the LT-Accretion Directed Classes (the "LT-Accretion Directed Classes"). On each Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralized Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the LT-Accretion Directed Classes (each such Class will be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the Overcollateralized Amount that is attributable to a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of its Corresponding Class) and shall be accrued and added to the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest. On each Distribution Date, the increase in the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest shall not exceed interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the Class LT-Accrual Interest. In the event that: (i) 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralized Amount exceeds (ii) interest accruals on the Class LT-Accrual Interest for such Distribution Date, the excess for such Distribution Date (accumulated with all such excesses for all prior Distribution Dates) will be added to any increase in the Overcollateralized Amount for purposes of determining the amount of interest accrual on the Class LT-Accrual Interest payable as principal on the LT-Accretion Directed Classes on the next Distribution Date pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage Loans and all Subsequent Recoveries allocable to principal shall be allocated (i) 50% to the Class LT-Accrual Interest, the Class LT-Group I Interest and Class LT-Group II Interest (and further allocated among these Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the manner described below) and (ii) 50% to the LT-Accretion Directed Classes (such principal payments and Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated among such LT-Accretion Directed Classes in an amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts and Subsequent Recoveries allocated to their respective Corresponding Classes), until paid in full. Notwithstanding the above, principal payments allocated to the Class UT-X Interest that result in the reduction in the Overcollateralized Amount shall be allocated to the Class LT-Accrual Interest (until paid in full). Realized Losses shall be applied so that after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each of the LT-Accretion Directed Classes is equal to 50% of the Class Certificate Balance of their Corresponding Class, and (ii) the Class LT-Accrual Interest, the Class LT-Group I and the Class LT-Group II Interest (and further allocated between these Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the manner described below) is equal to 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans plus 50% of the Overcollateralized Amount. Any increase in the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of LIBOR Certificates as a result of a Subsequent Recovery shall increase the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest by 50% of such increase, and the remaining 50% of such increase shall increase the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest. As among the Class LT-Accrual Interest, the Class LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest, all payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage Loans, all Subsequent Recoveries and all Realized Losses, allocable to such Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be allocated (i) to the Class LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest, each from the related Loan Group so that their respective Lower-Tier Principal Amounts (computed to at least eight decimal places) are equal to 0.001% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group and (ii) the remainder to the Class LT-Accrual Interest.

The Depositor shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Sponsor and Responsible Party, as applicable, to forward to the Trustee additional documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Mortgage Loan approved by the Responsible Party in accordance with the terms of the Responsible Party Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains or loses the original Mortgage or assignment after it has been recorded, the obligations of the Responsible Party shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery by the Responsible Party to the Trustee prior to the Closing Date of a copy of such Mortgage or assignment, as the case may be, certified (such certification to be an original thereof) by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof.

On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall ascertain that all documents required to be reviewed by it are in its possession, and shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer an Initial Certification, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, and shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a Document Certification and Exception Report, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, within 90 days (or with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered to the Trustee, within 30 days after the receipt of the Mortgage File by the Trustee) after the Closing Date to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as an exception and not covered by such certification): (i) all documents required to be reviewed by it are in its possession; (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan; (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in items (1), (2) and (13) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule and items (1), (2) and (13) of the Data Tape Information respecting such Mortgage Loan is correct; and (iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2.01 of this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be responsible to verify the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document in any Custodial File. The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Custodial File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Custodial File as come into the possession of the Servicer from time to time. The Depositor shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Responsible Party to deliver to the Servicer copies of all trailing documents required to be included in the Custodial File at the same time the original or certified copies thereof are delivered to the Trustee, including but not limited to such documents as the title insurance policy and any other Mortgage Loan Documents upon return from the public recording office. The Depositor shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Responsible Party to deliver such documents at the Responsible Party's expense (pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) to the Servicer and in no event shall the Servicer be responsible for any expenses relating to such delivery obligation. Section 2.03 Execution and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized Denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates. Section 2.04 REMIC Matters. The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class C Certificates shall not represent a regular or residual interest in any Trust REMIC. The "Start-up Day" of each Trust REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The "latest possible maturity date" of the regular interests in each Trust REMIC is the Distribution Date in April 2036, which is the Distribution Date in the month following the month in which the latest maturity date of any Mortgage Loan occurs. Amounts distributable to the Class X Certificates (prior to any reduction for any Basis Risk Payment or Swap Termination Payment), exclusive of any amounts received from the Swap Provider, shall be deemed paid from the Upper-Tier REMIC to the Class X REMIC in respect of the Class UT-X Interest and the Class UT-IO Interest and then from the Class X REMIC in respect of the Class X Interest and the Class IO Interest to the Holders of the Class X Certificates prior to distribution of any Basis Risk Payments to the LIBOR Certificates or Net Swap Payments or Swap Termination Payments to the Swap Provider. For federal income tax purposes, any amount distributed on the LIBOR Certificates on any Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on their Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable, and any amount distributable on such Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on the Corresponding Class of LIBOR Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided in Section 8.14. Section 2.05 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee that as of the date of this Agreement or as of such date specifically provided herein: (a) The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (b) The Depositor has the corporate power and authority to convey the Mortgage Loans and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement; (c) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Depositor, all requisite corporate action having been taken, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Trustee, constitutes or will constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, 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); (d) No consent, approval, authorization or order of or registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by the Depositor with this Agreement or the consummation by the Depositor of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as have been made on or prior to the Closing Date; (e) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of, or constitutes or will constitute a default or results or will result in an acceleration under (A) the charter or bylaws of the Depositor, or (B) of any term, condition or provision of any material indenture, deed of trust, contract or other agreement or instrument to which the Depositor or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its subsidiaries is bound; (ii) results or will result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Depositor of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its subsidiaries; or (iii) results in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance which would have a material adverse effect upon the Mortgage Loans or any documents or instruments evidencing or securing the Mortgage Loans; (f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings before or against or investigations of, the Depositor pending, or to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, and no notice of any such action, which, in the Depositor's reasonable judgment, might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement; (g) The Depositor is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency that may materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder; and (h) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee on the Closing Date, the Depositor had good title to, and was the sole owner of each Mortgage Loan, free of any interest of any other Person, and the Depositor has transferred all right, title and interest in each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee. The transfer of each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement is sufficient either (i) fully to transfer to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all right, title, and interest of the Depositor thereto as note holder and mortgagee or (ii) to grant to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the security interest referred to in Section 10.04 hereof. It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery of the respective Custodial Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee. Within 30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Depositor of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in clause (h) above that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein, the Depositor shall use its best efforts to promptly cure such breach in all material respects and if such defect or breach cannot be remedied, the Depositor shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the defective Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase shall be conducted in the same manner as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The obligations of the Depositor to cure such breach or to purchase any Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies respecting a material breach of any such representation or warranty to the Holders of the Certificates and the Trustee. In the event the Depositor is required to repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Trustee shall assign to the Depositor all rights it has with respect to such Mortgage Loan under the Fremont Assignment Agreement and, solely to the extent related to such Mortgage Loan, under the Purchase Agreement. Section 2.06 Enforcement of Obligations for Breach of Mortgage Loan Representations. Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Sponsor or Responsible Party pursuant to the Responsible Party Agreements, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and the Responsible Party. The Trustee shall take such action, with the Depositor's consent, with respect to such breach under the Responsible Party Agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to enforce the rights of the Trust with respect thereto. ARTICLE III TRUST ACCOUNTS Section 3.01 Excess Reserve Fund Account; Distribution Account. (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Excess Reserve Fund Account, on behalf of the Class X Certificateholders, to receive that portion of the distributions on the Class X Interest up to an amount equal to any Basis Risk Payments and to pay to the LIBOR Certificateholders any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts (prior to using any Net Swap Receipts). For the avoidance of doubt, any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts shall be paid to the LIBOR Certificates first from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and then from the Supplemental Interest Trust. On each Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount on any Class of LIBOR Certificates, the Trustee shall (1) withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in Section 4.01(a)(iii)(L), the lesser of the Class X Distributable Amount (to the extent remaining after the distributions specified in Sections 4.01(a)(iii)(A)-(K) and without regard to the reduction in clause (ii) of the definition thereof for any Basis Risk Payment or Defaulted Swap Termination Payment) and the aggregate Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount and (2) withdraw from the Excess Reserve Fund Account amounts necessary to pay to such Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates the applicable Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts. Such payments, along with payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall be allocated to those Classes based upon the amount of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount owed to each such Class and shall be paid in the priority set forth in Section 4.01(a)(iii)(M). In the event that the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates is reduced because of Applied Realized Loss Amounts, the applicable Certificateholders will not be entitled to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts on the written down amounts on such Distribution Date or any future Distribution Dates (except to the extent such Class Certificate Balance is increased as a result of any Subsequent Recoveries), even if funds are otherwise available for distribution. The Trustee shall account for the Excess Reserve Fund Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are the Class X Certificateholders. Any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts distributed by the Trustee to the LIBOR Certificateholders from the Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be accounted for by the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates (in respect of the Class X Interest) and then to the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates. In addition, the Trustee shall account for the rights of Holders of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account (along with payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Supplemental Interest Trust) as rights in a separate limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of Holders of each such Class. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required to make any payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.01(a). (b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt on the Business Day received, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following: (i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicers to the Trustee pursuant to the Servicing Agreements; and (ii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, and such Servicer directs the Trustee in writing to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, the Trustee shall return such funds to the applicable Servicer. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Sections 4.01 or 6.03. (c) In order to comply with the laws, rules and regulations applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Trustee upon its request from time to time such party's complete name, address, tax identification number and such other identifying information, together with copies of such party's constituting documentation, securities disclosure documentation and such other identifying documentation as may be available for such party. Section 3.02 Investment of Funds in the Distribution Account. (a) The Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) invest funds in the Distribution Account during the Trustee Float Period (for purposes of this Section 3.02, such Account is referred to as an "Investment Account"), in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, or maturing on such Distribution Date, in the case of an investment that is an obligation of the Trustee in its commercial capacity, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement. On or after the Remittance Date and prior to the Trustee Float Period, the Depositor may direct the Trustee in writing to invest funds in the Distribution Account in such Permitted Investments. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee. (b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account held by the Trustee during the Trustee Float Period shall be subject to the Trustee's withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 8.06. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account held by the Trustee during any period other than the Trustee Float Period shall be held for the benefit of the Depositor, as compensation for the duties to be preformed by it to the extent provided under this Agreement, and the Trustee shall distribute such funds to the Depositor on the related Distribution Date. (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor shall be liable to the Trust for any loss on any investment of funds in the Distribution Account other than during the Trustee Float Period and the Trustee shall be liable to the Trust for any such loss only during the Trustee Float Period, and the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall deposit funds in the amount of such loss in the Distribution Account promptly after such loss is incurred. (d) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation is not payable or reimbursable under Section 8.06 of this Agreement. ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS Section 4.01 Priorities of Distribution. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall allocate from amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account in the following order of priority and to the extent of the Available Funds remaining and, on such Distribution Date, shall make distributions on the Certificates in accordance with such allocation: (i) to the Supplemental Interest Trust and to the holders of each Class of LIBOR Certificates in the following order of priority: (A) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, the sum of (x) all Net Swap Payments and (y) any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider other than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment;

Notwithstanding the allocation of principal to the Class A Certificates described in the preceding paragraphs, from and after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class Certificate Balances of the Subordinated Certificates and the principal balance of the Class X Certificates have been reduced to zero, any principal distributions allocated to the Class A Certificates are required to be allocated pro rata to the Class A Certificates, based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances. (d) On any Distribution Date, any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls and Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date shall be allocated by the Trustee as a reduction in the following order: (i) First, as a reduction of the Class X Distributable Amount, first as to the interest portion thereof, and then as to the principal portion thereof; and; (ii) Second, pro rata, as a reduction of the Accrued Certificate Interest Distribution Amount for the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates based on the amount of interest to which such Classes would otherwise be entitled.

(b) The Trustee's responsibility for providing the above statement to the Certificateholders, each Rating Agency, the Servicer and the Depositor is limited, if applicable, to the availability, timeliness and accuracy of the information derived from the Servicer. The Trustee shall make available the above statement via the Trustee's internet website. The Trustee's website will initially be located at https://www.tss.db.com/invr and assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Trustee's investor relations desk at 1-800-735-7777. A paper copy of the above statement will also be made available upon request. The Trustee shall make available to each Analytics Company, via the Trustee's internet website (or electronically upon request), each statement to Certificateholders prepared pursuant to this Section 4.02(b). The Trustee, and each Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, shall cooperate in good faith with the Depositor to reconcile any discrepancies in such statements, and the Trustee shall post such corrected statements on its internet website (or electronically upon request to each Analytics Company) as soon as reasonably practicable after the related Distribution Date. (c) Upon request, within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), and (a)(ii) of this Section 4.02 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect. (d) Pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 5.2 of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement, each of the Servicers has agreed to provide monthly information reports to the Trustee. The Servicers will deliver to the Trustee, on a monthly basis, no later than each Determination Date a monthly remittance advice statement containing the information necessary for the Trustee to calculate and provide the reports required by Section 4.02(a) as to the accompanying remittance and the period ending on the close of business on the last Business Day of the immediately preceding month (or the last day of the Due Period, as applicable) (the "Servicer Remittance Report"). On an on-going basis, the Trustee may reasonably request each Servicer to provide additional information to be included in subsequent Servicer Remittance Reports. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall require each Servicer, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, to furnish to the Trustee an individual loan accounting report, as of the last day of the Due Period of each month, to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the Servicer will furnish the corresponding individual loan accounting report (in electronic format) to be received by the Trustee no later than the Determination Date, which report shall contain the following: (i) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any Prepayment Premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on Principal Prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreements); (ii) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest; (iii) the amount of Servicing Fees paid to or retained by the Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date; (iv) the individual and aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans; (v) the aggregate of any expenses reimbursed to the Servicer during the prior distribution period pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement; (vi) the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent 31 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days, or 91 to 120 days, 121 to 150 days, 151 to 180 days, 181 to 210 days, 211 days to 240 days and 240+ days; (b) as to which foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings of the related mortgagor have commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been acquired; (vii) the aggregate amount of Applied Realized Loss Amounts incurred during the preceding calendar month; (viii) each Mortgage Loan which has been altered, modified or varied during such month, and the reason for such modification (i.e., extension of maturity date, Mortgage Interest Rate); and (ix) any other information reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to prepare the monthly statements referred to in Section 4.02(a). Section 4.03 Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR. LIBOR shall be calculated by the Trustee in accordance with the definition of "LIBOR." Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee shall at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Trustee initially shall designate the Reference Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). Each "Reference Bank" shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Trustee should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with the Depositor). The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are Outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee. Section 4.04 Allocation of Applied Realized Loss Amounts. Any Applied Realized Loss Amounts shall be allocated by the Trustee to the most junior Class of Subordinated Certificates then Outstanding in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof. In the event Applied Realized Loss Amounts are allocated to any Class of LIBOR Certificates, their Class Certificate Balances shall be reduced by the amount so allocated, and no funds will be distributable with respect to the written down amounts (including without limitation Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts) or with respect to interest on the written down amounts on that Distribution Date or any future Distribution Dates, even if funds are otherwise available for distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Subordinated Certificates that has been previously reduced by Applied Realized Loss Amounts will be increased, in order of seniority, by the amount of the Subsequent Recoveries (but not in excess of the Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated to the applicable Class of Subordinated Certificates). Section 4.05 Supplemental Interest Trust. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate non-interest bearing trust account for the benefit of the holders of the LIBOR Certificates (the "Supplemental Interest Trust") as a part of the Trust Fund. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement. On any Distribution Date, Swap Termination Payments, Net Swap Payments owed to the Swap Provider and Net Swap Receipts for that Distribution Date will be deposited into the Supplemental Interest Trust. Funds in the Supplemental Interest Trust will be distributed in the following order of priority (without duplication of amounts distributable under Section 4.01(a)(i), (ii) or (iii)): (i) to the Swap Provider, the sum of (x) all Net Swap Payments and (y) any Swap Termination Payment, other than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, to the Swap Provider, if any, owed for that Distribution Date; (ii) to the LIBOR Certificateholders, to pay Accrued Certificate Interest Distribution Amounts (including for this purpose Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts not included in Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts) and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in Section 4.01(a)(i) and Section 4.01(a)(iii), to the extent unpaid from other Available Funds; (iii) to the LIBOR Certificateholders, to pay principal as described in Section 4.01(a)(ii), but only to the extent necessary to restore the Overcollateralized Amount to the Specified Overcollateralized Amount as a result of current or previous Realized Losses not previously reimbursed, after giving effect to payments and distributions from other Available Funds; (iv) to the LIBOR Certificateholders, to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts as described in Section 4.01(a)(iii), to the extent unpaid from other Available Funds (including Basis Risk Payments on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account); (v) to the Swap Provider, any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider for that Distribution Date; and (vi) to the holders of the Class X Certificates, any remaining amounts. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this Section 4.05. The Trustee shall account for the Supplemental Interest Trust as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust are the Class X Certificateholders. For federal income tax purposes, Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments payable to the Swap Provider shall be deemed to be paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust first, from the Class X REMIC, by the Holder of the Class X Certificates (in respect of the Class IO Interest and, if applicable, Class X Interest) and second, other than any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, from the Upper-Tier REMIC by the Holders of the applicable Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates (in respect of Class IO Shortfalls) as and to the extent provided in Section 8.14. Any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts distributed by the Trustee to the LIBOR Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates in respect of the Class X Interest and (to the extent remaining after payments to the Swap Provider) the Class IO Interest and then to the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates. In addition, the Trustee shall account for the rights of Holders of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Supplemental Interest Trust (along with Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts payable from the Excess Reserve Fund Account) as rights in a separate limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of Holders of each such Class. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an "outside reserve fund" for federal income tax purposes and not an asset of any Trust REMIC. Furthermore, the Holders of the Class X Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon. With respect to the failure of the Swap Provider to perform any of its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the breach by the Swap Provider of any of its representations and warranties made pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, or the termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Trustee shall send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Trust, as are required under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. The Trustee shall cause any replacement swap provider to provide a copy of the related replacement interest rate swap agreement to the Trustee and the Depositor. ARTICLE V THE CERTIFICATES Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement. The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to register the Class X, Class C and Class P Certificates in the name of the Depositor or its designee. On a date as to which the Depositor notifies the Trustee, the Trustee shall transfer the Class X and Class P Certificates in the name of the NIM Trustee, or such other name or names as the Depositor shall request, and to deliver the Class X and Class P Certificates to Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as NIM Trustee, or to such other Person or Persons as the Depositor shall request. Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor as directed by that Certificateholder by written wire instructions provided to the Trustee or (y), in the event that no wire instructions are provided to the Trustee, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless authenticated by the Trustee by manual signature, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof. Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest. At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In the event the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor transfers the Class X Certificates, or a portion thereof, to another Affiliate, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the affiliated status of the transferee. The Trustee shall have no liability regarding the lack of notice with respect thereto. No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required. All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures. (b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class C, Class P or a Residual Certificate to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor or (iv) a transfer of a Residual Certificate to the Servicer, an Affiliate of the Servicer, or its designee (including, without limitation, an employee of the Servicer who is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act), in the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I (the "Transferor Certificate") and either (i) there shall be delivered to the Trustee a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit J (the "Rule 144A Letter") or Exhibit K (the "Non-Rule 144A Investment Letter") or (ii) in the case of the Class X Certificates, there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. In the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Transferor Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Letter in respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such Certificate were evidenced by a Physical Certificate. A transferee of any Private Certificates who is not a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act must take delivery of such Private Certificates in definitive form. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee, and the Servicer pursuant to the Assignment Agreement or the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of a Residual Certificate, Class X, Class C or Class P Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor or (iv) a transfer of a Residual Certificate to the Servicer, an Affiliate of the Servicer, or its designee (including, without limitation, an employee of the Servicer who is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act), no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement (collectively, a "Plan") to effect such transfer, (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate, a Class C Certificate or a Class P Certificate that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting and the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate, a Class C Certificate or a Class P Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial acquirer's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate, other than a Class C Certificate, a Class P Certificate or a Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any purported transfer of a Class P Certificate, Class C Certificate or Residual Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i) above shall be void and of no effect. The Residual Certificates, Class C and Class P Certificates may not be sold to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, any plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or any plan subject to any Similar Law or any Person investing on behalf of or with plan assets of such Plan. To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements. As long as the Interest Rate Swap Agreement is in effect, each beneficial owner of a Certificate (other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate), or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented that either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are eligible for the exemptive relief available under at least one of the Investor-Based Exemptions. (c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee; (ii) Except in the case of a Transfer of a Residual Certificate to an employee of the Servicer who is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, no Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H; (iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee; (iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and the Rule 144A Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate; and (v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee. The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee, or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are Outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee. (d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers. (e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) the Depositor notifies the Depository of its intent to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository. (f) Each Private Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments) or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Private Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Private Certificates. Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer, and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Trustee, the Depositor and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Depositor or any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or the Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, such Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies in the United States where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates the offices of its agent located at DB Services Tennessee, 648 Grassmere Park Road, Nashville, Tennessee 37211-3658, Attention: Transfer Unit, for purposes of Certificate transfers, and DB Services Tennessee, 648 Grassmere Park Road, Nashville, Tennessee 37211-3658, Attention: Securities Payment Unit, for purposes of the surrender of Certificates for the final distribution. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency. ARTICLE VI THE DEPOSITOR Section 6.01 Liabilities of the Depositor. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by it herein. Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor. (a) The Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement. (b) Any Person into which the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Depositor, 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. Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor and Others. Neither the Depositor nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Sponsor and any director, officer, employee, Affiliate or agent of the Depositor and the Sponsor 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 and the Sponsor and any director, officer, employee, Affiliate or agent of the Depositor and the Sponsor shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates or any other unanticipated or extraordinary expense, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor shall not 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 the Depositor may in its discretion undertake any such action (or direct the Trustee to undertake such actions pursuant to Section 2.06 for the benefit of the Certificateholders) that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Depositor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account. Section 6.04 Servicing Compliance Review. Promptly upon receipt from each Servicer of its annual statement of compliance and accountant's report described in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall furnish a copy thereof to the Depositor as part of the Form 10-K filing package provided to the Depositor pursuant to Section 8.13(c) for review and verification. Promptly after the Depositor's receipt thereof, the Depositor shall review the same and, if applicable, consult with such Servicer as to the nature of any defaults by such Servicer in the fulfillment of any of its Servicer's obligations under the applicable Servicing Agreement. Section 6.05 Optional Purchase of Delinquent Mortgage Loans. The Depositor (or its assignee), in its sole discretion, shall have the option, but shall not be obligated, to purchase any 90+ Day Delinquent Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund. The purchase price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be 100% of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest on the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, plus the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Servicer. ARTICLE VII SERVICER DEFAULT Section 7.01 Events of Default. If an Event of Default described in any Servicing Agreement shall occur with respect to the related Servicer then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or at the direction of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the applicable Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66(2)/3% of each Class of Certificates affected by an Event of Default may waive such Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) an Event of Default with respect to any Servicer's obligation to make Monthly Advances may be waived only by all of the holders of the Certificates affected by such Event of Default and (b) no such waiver is permitted that would materially adversely affect any non consenting Certificateholder. On and after the receipt by the applicable Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of such Servicer, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On the day and after the time the Trustee gives, and the applicable Servicer receives, a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 7.03, and subject to the rights of the Depositor to appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.02, become the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and in such Servicing Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of such Servicing Agreement and applicable law including the obligation to make Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances pursuant to such Servicing Agreement (it being understood and agreed that if any Servicer fails to make an Advance, the Trustee shall do so as successor servicer unless a determination has been made that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance). As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account if the Servicer had continued to act under the Servicing Agreement including, if the Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee at the Servicing Fee Rate set forth in the Servicing Agreement (as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the related Mortgage Loans,) such Servicing Fee and the income on investments or gain related to the Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 7.02, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, or if it is otherwise unable to so act, or, at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such Servicer. No such appointment of a successor to a Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the Depositor shall have consented thereto. Any successor to such Servicer shall be an institution which is a Fannie Mae- and Freddie Mac-approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $30,000,000, which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of such terminated Servicer (other than liabilities of such terminated Servicer incurred prior to termination of such Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to a Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it, the Depositor and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee and amounts paid to the predecessor Servicer from investments. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the predecessor Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it. Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of Servicer, in accordance with applicable federal and state law, and shall, during the term of its service as Servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depositor shall have the right to appoint a successor to a Servicer upon termination of the servicing pursuant to Section 7.01. Any such successor Servicer shall be required to satisfy the requirements of a successor Servicer under this Section 7.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may not terminate a Servicer without cause. Section 7.03 Trustee to Act as Servicer. In the event that a Servicer shall for any other reason no longer be the Servicer, the Trustee or another successor Servicer, shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the predecessor Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for investment losses of the predecessor Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer thereunder, or (ii) responsible for expenses of the predecessor Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement). Section 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to a Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency. (b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and each Rating Agency notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. ARTICLE VIII CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE Section 8.01 Duties of the Trustee. The Trustee, before the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order, or other instrument. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own bad faith or willful misfeasance Unless an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, (a) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of the duties and obligations specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee, and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder; (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it is finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement. The Trustee shall be permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors for the performance of certain of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that the Trustee complies with the applicable Servicing Agreement as if the Trustee were a "Servicer" pursuant to such Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Sponsor and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Trustee to perform any of its obligations under Section 6.5 of the Wells Warranties and Servicing Agreement, Section 4.04 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 8.16 of this Agreement or any failure by the Trustee to identify pursuant to Section 4.28(b) of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement or Section 12.06(b) of the Fremont Servicing Agreement any Subcontractor that it has engaged, as a Servicing Function Participant. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. Section 8.02 Administration of the Servicers. The Trustee shall (i) enforce the obligations of the Servicers to service the Mortgage Loans as set forth in Section 7.01 and (ii) as successor Servicer under Section 7.02, make or cause to be made Servicing Advances or Monthly Advances in accordance with the Servicing Agreements in the event a Servicer fails to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, as successor Servicer or otherwise shall not be required to make any Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance. The Trustee shall furnish to the Servicers any powers of attorney in standard form used by the Trustee or other such documentation (as may be provided from time to time and in form of Exhibit Y hereto), necessary and appropriate to enable the Servicers to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the applicable Servicer under such powers of attorney. The Trustee shall provide access to the Mortgage Loan documents in possession of the Trustee regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or any regulatory or administrative agency, the Trustee shall not be required to provide access to such records and documents if the provisions thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at the expense of the Trust that covers the Trustee's actual costs. Upon receipt of a Request for Release by a Servicer, the Trustee shall release within five Business Days the related Mortgage File to such Servicer and execute and deliver to such Servicer, without recourse, a request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage (furnished by such Servicer), together with the Mortgage Note. The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the applicable Servicer, upon its request, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee's sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or equity. Section 8.03 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01: (a) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, officer's certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties; (b) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or accountants and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel; (c) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, nor shall the Trustee be liable for acts or omissions of the other parties to this Agreement or any ancillary agreement thereto, the Responsible Party, the Sponsor or the Swap Provider or any of their respective Affiliates; (d) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates; (e) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, accountants or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agents, accountants or attorneys appointed with due care by it hereunder; (f) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it; (g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security and except with respect to the investment of funds in the Distribution Account not made at the direction of the Depositor during the Trustee Float Period); (h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default, until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof except for failure by any Servicer to remit funds on the Remittance Date to the Trustee or to make Monthly Advances; and (i) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. Section 8.04 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or any Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or any Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or the Distribution Account by the Depositor or any Servicer. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor Servicer). The Trustee executes the Certificates not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust Fund created by this Agreement, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust Fund. Section 8.05 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee. Section 8.06 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. As compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Trustee may withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date the Trustee Fee for the Distribution Date and, during the Trustee Float Period, any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to: (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates or the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, or (c) the performance of any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability, or expense (i) resulting from any breach of any Servicer's obligations in connection with the applicable Servicing Agreement for which that Servicer has performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) resulting from any breach of the Responsible Party's obligations in connection with the Fremont Agreements for which it has performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to the Fremont Agreements, or (iii) incurred because of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any expense, disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith, or willful misfeasance, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates; and (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of any accountant, engineer, or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage them to perform services under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or a separate letter agreement between the Trustee and the Depositor, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar, or paying agent under this Agreement or for any other expenses incurred by the Trustee; provided, however, no expense shall be reimbursed hereunder if it would not constitute an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions. Section 8.07 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.07 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.08. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its Affiliates or with the Servicer and its Affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an Affiliate of the Depositor or of any Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to any Servicer. Section 8.08 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the applicable Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.09, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.09 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.07. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section 8.07 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the applicable Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee. The Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicers, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the Trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Section 8.08 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.09. Section 8.09 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.09 unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is eligible under Section 8.07 and its appointment does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.09, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor. Section 8.10 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.07 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such succession or appointment and shall furnish to the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably necessary for the Trustee to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section 8.13(g), the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act). Section 8.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the applicable Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the applicable Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. If the applicable Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by such Servicer of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.09. Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: (a) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; (b) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; (c) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and (d) The Trust Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee. Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Depositor. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. Section 8.12 Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election pertaining to the Trust Fund is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each Trust REMIC described in the Preliminary Statement and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each Trust REMIC described in the Preliminary Statement containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, the Trustee will apply for an employer identification number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall also furnish to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make an election that each of Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class X REMIC be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including the calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment assumption (as described in the Prospectus Supplement); (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee (a "Non-Permitted Transferee"), or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are Outstanding so as to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC created hereunder; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the second to last paragraph of this Section 8.12, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each Trust REMIC before its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) cause federal, state or local income tax or information returns to be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and (j) maintain records relating to each of the Trust REMICs, including the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis and on the accrual method of accounting and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class RC Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall act as the Tax Matters Person for Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class RX Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for the Class X REMIC, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Trustee is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholders for such purpose (or if the Trustee is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Trustee shall, as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any Trust REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any Trust REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any Trust REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Class P Certificateholders to receive Prepayment Premiums, the rights of the Class X Certificateholders to receive amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust (subject to the obligation to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts) and the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts as the beneficial ownership of interests in a grantor trust and not as obligations of any Trust REMIC created hereunder, for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished, to the Class P, Class X Certificateholders and the LIBOR Certificateholders, the respective amounts described above that are received, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code. To enable the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee within ten days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide information to the Trustee concerning the value, if any, to each Class of LIBOR Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts or Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Supplemental Interest Trust. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor any additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to provide any information regarding the Mortgage Loans after the Closing Date or any information that the Servicer is required to provide to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, pursuant to this paragraph, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. The Trustee shall not (i) cause the creation of any interests in any Trust REMIC other than the regular and residual interests set forth in the Preliminary Statement, (ii) receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement) or (iii) otherwise knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, or the tax on "net income from foreclosure property") unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund, result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC created hereunder or endanger the status of any Trust REMIC. If any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Start-up Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, if applicable, any minimum tax imposed on any Trust REMIC pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee if such tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Trustee in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, and otherwise if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under the applicable Servicing Agreement, (iii) the Sponsor if such tax arises out of or results from the Sponsor's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the Responsible Party if such tax arises out of or results from the Sponsor's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Fremont Agreements, or (iv) in all other cases, or if the Trustee, the Servicer or the Sponsor fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i), (ii), or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.01(a). For as long as each Trust REMIC shall exist, the Trustee shall act in accordance with this Agreement and shall comply with any directions of the Depositor or the Servicer as provided herein so as to assure such continuing treatment. The Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans unless pursuant to a repurchase or substitution in accordance with this Agreement, or of any investment of deposits in an Account, and (b) accept any contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion. Section 8.13 Periodic Filings. (a) The Trustee and each Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the reporting requirements of the Trust under the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 8-K, 10-D and 10-K required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, in order to permit the timely filing thereof pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.13, and the Trustee shall file (via the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System ("EDGAR")) such Forms executed by the Depositor. The Trustee shall have no duty to verify information received by it from other Persons (other than Subcontractors utilized by the Trustee) in connection with its duties under this Section 8.13. (b) Within 15 calendar days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D ("Additional Form 10-D Disclosure") shall be prepared by the party responsible for preparing such disclosure as set forth on Exhibit U hereto and provided to the Trustee in EDGAR-compatible form at the e-mail address set forth in Section 10.05 (in a form substantially similar to the Form attached hereto as Exhibit Z), and the Trustee shall compile such disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit U hereto, within 3 calendar days after the related Distribution Date, certain specified parties identified therein shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable. The Trustee shall compile all such information provided to it in a Form 10-D prepared by it. After preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review, verification and execution by the Depositor. No later than 3 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.13(f)(ii). The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at the Depositor's address for notices set forth in Section 10.05(b)(2)(a), or such other address as to which the Depositor has provided prior written notice to the Trustee. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 8.13(b) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon the Servicer, the Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Additional Form 10-D Disclosure as set forth on Exhibit U hereto observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.13(b). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (c) Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the "10-K Filing Deadline"), commencing in March 2007, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Trustee within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for the Servicer and each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer, as described in the applicable Servicing Agreement (upon which the Trustee may rely in delivering its certification hereunder), (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria for the Trustee, the Servicer, each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Servicer or the Trustee, as described under Section 6.6 of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement, Section 12.05 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 8.16 of this Agreement, as applicable, and (B) if any such report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 6.6 of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement, Section 12.05 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 8.16 of this Agreement, as applicable, identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or such report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 6.6 of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement, Section 12.05 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 8.16 of this Agreement, as applicable, and is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report for the Trustee, the Servicer, each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Servicer or the Trustee, as described under Section 6.6 of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement, Section 12.05 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 8.16 of this Agreement, as applicable, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report described under Section 6.6 of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement, Section 12.05 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 8.16 of this Agreement, as applicable, identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, and (iv) a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission (the "Sarbanes Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization. Any disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K ("Additional Form 10-K Disclosure") shall be prepared by party responsible for preparing such disclosure as set forth on Exhibit V hereto and provided to the Trustee in EDGAR-compatible form at the e-mail address set forth in Section 10.05 (in a form substantially similar to the Form attached hereto as Exhibit Z), and the Trustee shall compile such disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit V hereto, no later than March 15th of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable. The Trustee shall compile all such information provided to it in a Form 10-K prepared by it. After preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for review, verification and execution by the Depositor. No later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the 3rd Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.13(f)(ii). The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at the Depositor's address for notices set forth in Section 10.05(b)(2)(a), or such other address as to which the Depositor has provided prior written notice to the Trustee. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 8.13(c) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon the applicable Servicer (and any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by the applicable Servicer) and the Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Additional Form 10-K Disclosure as set forth on Exhibit V hereto, observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.13(c), Section 8.13(d), Sections 6.4 and 6.6 of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement, Sections 12.04 and 12.05 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 8.16 of this Agreement, as applicable. The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (d) In connection with the execution of a Sarbanes Certification, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates. Each such certification shall be delivered to the Depositor no later than March 15th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), and the Depositor shall deliver the Sarbanes Certification no later than the time set forth for the delivery to the Trustee of the signed Form 10-K pursuant to Section 8.13(d) for such year. In the event that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in March of each year, the Trustee, or the Servicer pursuant to the Assignment Agreement or the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement, as applicable, has actual knowledge of information material to the Sarbanes Certification, that party shall promptly notify the Depositor and each of the other parties signing the certifications. In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Sponsor and their officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon any breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 8.13(d) or any material misstatement or material omission contained in any information, report, certification or other material provided in written or electronic form pursuant to Sections 8.16 or 8.13 of this Agreement and Exhibits U, V and W to this Agreement provided by or on behalf of the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee (excluding any information, report, certification or other materials provided in written or electronic form by or on behalf of any Person other than the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) or negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any indemnified party, then the Trustee agrees in connection with a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 8.13(d) or any material misstatement or material omission contained in any information, report, certification or other material provided in written or electronic form pursuant to Sections 8.16 and 8.13 of this Agreement and Exhibits U, V and W to this Agreement provided by or on behalf of the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee (excluding any information, report, certification or other materials provided in written or electronic form by or on behalf of any Person other than the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) or negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor and the Sponsor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor and the Sponsor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor and the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other. (e) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of each such executed report, statement or information. (f) (i) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which reports are required to be filed with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, with a copy to the Depositor. At any time after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of Holders of the Offered Certificates of record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trustee shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-K, 10-D and 8-K as required pursuant to this Section 8.13 and the parties hereto shall again have the obligations set forth in this Section. (ii) In the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Trustee will immediately notify the Depositor and the Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor, the Servicer pursuant to the Assignment Agreement or the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and the Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act and the Trustee shall file in accordance with this Agreement. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of all disclosure information required to be included on Form 8-K, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, the party to this Agreement deciding that an amendment to such Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is required will notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-KA, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 8.13(f) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the Servicers and the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.13 and Sections 6.4 and 6.6 of the Wells Fargo Warranties and Servicing Agreement, Sections 12.04 and 12.05 of the Fremont Servicing Agreement and Section 8.16 of this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (g) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and also if requested by the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K ("Form 8-K Disclosure Information") shall be prepared by the party responsible for preparing such disclosure as set forth on Exhibit W hereto and provided to the Trustee in EDGAR-compatible form at the e-mail address set forth in Section 10.05 (in a form substantially similar to the Form attached hereto as Exhibit Z), which shall be compiled by the Trustee pursuant to the following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit W hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than noon (Eastern time) on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the Depositor and the Trustee, to the extent known by such applicable parties, any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable. The Trustee shall compile all such information provided to it in a Form 8-K prepared by it. After preparing the Form 8-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review, verification and execution by the Depositor. No later than the end of the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 8-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.13(f)(ii). The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at the Depositor's address for notices set forth in Section 10.05(b)(2)(a), or such other address as to which the Depositor has provided prior written notice to the Trustee. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 8.13(g) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon the Servicer the Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Form 8-K Disclosure Information as set forth on Exhibit W hereto, observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.13(g). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (h) The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or resulting from (i) the accuracy or inaccuracy of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information (excluding any information therein provided by the Trustee or any Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee) provided to the Trustee in connection with the preparation of Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K pursuant to this Section 8.13, or (ii) the failure of the Depositor to timely execute and return for filing any Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K required to be filed by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.13, in either case, not resulting from the Trustee's own negligence, bad faith or misconduct. Section 8.14 Tax Treatment of Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. The Trustee shall treat the rights that each Class of LIBOR Certificates has to receive payments of Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, to the extent not paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Supplemental Interest Trust (together with Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account) as rights to receive payments under a limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of each such Class. Accordingly, each Class of Certificates (excluding the Class X, Class C, Class P and the Residual Certificates) will be comprised of two components - an Upper-Tier Regular Interest and an interest in an interest rate cap contract, and the Class X Certificate will be comprised of four components - two Upper-Tier Regular Interests (the Class X Interest and the Class IO Interest), ownership of the Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to an obligation to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts, and ownership of the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, subject to the obligation to pay Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts. The Trustee shall allocate the issue price for a Class of LIBOR Certificates among the respective components for purposes of determining the issue price of the Upper-Tier Regular Interest component based on information received from the Depositor. Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor in writing, for federal income tax purposes, the Trustee is hereby directed to assign a value of zero to the right of each Holder of a LIBOR Certificate to receive the related Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, the related Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount for purposes of allocating the purchase price of an initial LIBOR Certificateholder between such rights and the related Upper-Tier Regular Interest. Holders of LIBOR Certificates shall also be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holders of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments (other than Defaulted Swap Termination Payments) over (ii) the sum of amounts payable on the Class X Interest available for such payments and amounts payable on the Class IO Interest (such excess, a "Class IO Shortfall"), first from interest and then from principal distributable on the LIBOR Certificates. A Class IO Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such LIBOR Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Class of LIBOR Certificates, and a Class IO Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated in reverse sequential order beginning with the most subordinate Class of LIBOR Certificates then Outstanding. Any payments of Class IO Shortfalls shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Class of LIBOR Certificates in respect of the Corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest and as having been paid by such Holders to the Holders of the Class X Certificates through the Supplemental Interest Trust. Section 8.15 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Each party shall comply, to the extent applicable to such party, with all provisions of the Privacy Laws relating to the Mortgage Loans, the related borrowers and any "nonpublic personal information" (as defined in the Privacy Laws) received by such party incidental to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, maintaining adequate information security procedures to protect such nonpublic personal information and, in the case of the Servicer, providing all privacy notices required by the Privacy Laws. Section 8.16 Annual Reports on Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria; Annual Independent Public Accountants' Attestation Report(a) (a) Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2007, the Trustee shall deliver, and the Trustee shall cause each Subcontractor utilized by the Trustee, and determined by the Trustee to be "participating in a servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (in each case, a "Servicing Function Participant"), to deliver, each at its own expense, to the Depositor and the Trustee, a report on an assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it that contains (A) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, (B) a statement that such party used the Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria, (C) such party's assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the period ending the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 8.13, including, if there has been any material instance of noncompliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such Person's assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for such period. Each such assessment of compliance report shall be addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the applicable company, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria set forth on Exhibit N hereto, or as set forth in the notification furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.16(c). The Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees that its assessment of compliance will cover the items identified on Exhibit N hereto as being covered by such party. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that where a particular Servicing Criteria has multiple components, the Trustee's assessment of compliance (and related attestation of compliance) will relate only to those components that are applicable to the Trustee. Promptly after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance, (i) the Depositor shall review each such report (and the report of the Servicer provided pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement) and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer or the Trustee as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it (and each Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized by the Servicer, such Subservicer or the Trustee, as applicable), as the case may be. (b) Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2007, the Trustee shall cause, and the Trustee shall cause each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Trustee to cause, at its own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to such party) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Trustee and the Depositor, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such Person, which includes an assertion that such Person has complied with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it pursuant to Section 8.16(a) and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, that attests to and reports on such Person's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Each such related accountant's attestation report shall be made in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language. Promptly after receipt of each such accountants' attestation report (and the accountants' attestation report of the Servicer provided pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement), the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer or the Trustee as to the nature of any defaults by the Servicer or the Trustee (and each Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized by the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or by any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer), as the case may be, in the fulfillment of any of the Servicer's, the Trustee's or the applicable Subservicer's or Servicing Function Participant's obligations under this Agreement, the applicable Servicing Agreement or under any applicable sub-servicing agreement. (c) No later than February 1 of each fiscal year, commencing in 2007, the Servicer, pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, is required to notify the Trustee and the Depositor as to the name of each Subservicer engaged by it and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by it and by each Subservicer engaged by it, and the Trustee shall notify the Depositor as to the name of each Servicing Function Participant utilized by it, and each such notice will specify what specific Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant in each case, to the extent of any change from the prior year's notice, if any. When the Trustee submits its assessment pursuant to Section 8.16(a), the Trustee will also at such time include the assessment (and related attestation pursuant to Section 8.16(b)) of each Servicing Function Participant utilized by it. ARTICLE IX TERMINATION Section 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase, on the Optional Termination Date, by the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, (ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund (or in the case of the Servicer, acting at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder, selected by the Majority Class C Certificateholder), at the expense of such Person (or in the case of the Servicer, acting at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder, the Majority Class C Certificateholder), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rates and (y) the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, and (iii) any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider (as provided to the Trustee by the Swap Provider pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) ("Termination Price") and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other Liquidation Event (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. Section 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any Remittance Date, the Servicer notifies the Trustee in writing that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a Notice of Final Distribution to each Certificateholder and the Swap Provider. If Wells Fargo pursuant to the Wells Fargo Servicing Agreement (at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder) elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, by the 25th day of the month preceding the month of the final distribution, the Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund shall notify the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee in writing of the date the electing Person intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable Termination Price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. A Notice of Final Distribution, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not later than the 15th day of the month of such final distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such Notice of Final Distribution to each Rating Agency at the time such Notice of Final Distribution is given to Certificateholders. In the event such Notice of Final Distribution is given and the Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund is the Servicer (at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder), the Majority Class C Certificateholder shall remit the applicable Termination Price in immediately available funds to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date, and, upon receipt of such funds from the Majority Class C Certificateholder, the Trustee shall promptly deposit such funds in the applicable Collection Account. During the time such funds are held in such Collection Account, such funds shall be invested, at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder, in Permitted Investments, and the Majority Class C Certificateholder shall be entitled to all income from such investments, and shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse the Servicer for all losses from such investments. The Majority Class C Certificateholder shall be obligated to reimburse the Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its termination of the Trust Fund at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer for any losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any claims directly resulting from or relating to the termination of the Trust Fund at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In connection with any such termination of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall cause all funds in the Collection Account, including the applicable Termination Price for the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties if the Servicer is electing to terminate the Trust Fund, to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund, or its designee, the Custodial Files for the Mortgage Loans. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class (after reimbursement of all amounts due the Depositor and the Trustee hereunder), in each case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.01, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount up to an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates (except the Class X Certificates), the Certificate Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class X Certificates accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest bearing Certificate and all other amounts to which such Classes are entitled pursuant to Section 4.01, (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above. In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto. Section 9.03 Additional Termination Requirements. In the event a Person elects to terminate the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the electing Person, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding: (a) The Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund, or its designee, and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of each of the Trust REMICs; and (b) The Trustee shall attach a statement to the final federal income tax return for each of the Trust REMICs stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F 1, the first day of the 90 day liquidation period for each such Trust REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund to the electing Person. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS Section 10.01 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Trustee (and the Trustee may request an amendment or consent to any amendment of a Servicing Agreement as directed by the Depositor) without the consent of any of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provision herein or in the applicable Servicing Agreement, or to supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor or the Trustee (or with respect to the applicable Servicing Agreement, of the applicable Servicer), (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or under the applicable Servicing Agreement, (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement or in the applicable Servicing Agreement or (vi) to comply with any requirements in Regulation AB; provided that any amendment pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, further, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders 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 Certificates; 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 Trustee and the Depositor also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement (and the Trustee shall request the Servicers amend the applicable Servicing Agreement), without the consent of the Certificateholders, to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of each Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code; provided, that the 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 Trustee or the Trust Fund, 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 Depositor and the Trustee (and the Trustee shall consent to any amendment to the applicable Servicing Agreement as directed by the Depositor) with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66(2)/3% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; 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 Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66(2)/3%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then Outstanding. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement unless (i) it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the grantor trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding and (ii) the party seeking such amendment shall have provided written notice to the Rating Agencies (with a copy of such notice to the Trustee) of such amendment, stating the provisions of the Agreement to be amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01, with respect to any amendment that significantly modifies the permitted activities of the Trustee or a Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, any Certificate beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates or by the Responsible Party or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be Outstanding (and shall not be considered when determining the percentage of Certificateholders consenting or when calculating the total number of Certificates entitled to consent) for purposes of determining if the requisite consents of Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 have been obtained. Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 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 Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment which modifies its obligations or liabilities without its consent and in all cases without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement or such Servicing Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01. Notwithstanding the Trustee's consent to, or request for, any amendment of any Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.01, such Servicing Agreement cannot be amended without the consent of the applicable Servicer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure by such Servicer to consent to any amendment to the applicable Servicing Agreement. Section 10.02 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 Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation shall be effected by the Trustee (at the direction of the Depositor) at the expense of the Trust, but only upon receipt of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders. For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Section 10.03 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. Section 10.04 Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either 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 conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets transferred, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, 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 Fund, 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.

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 Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

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

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

The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices designated by the Trustee for such purposes or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

EXHIBIT H RESIDUAL TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT GSAMP Equity Trust 2006-FM1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-FM1 STATE OF ) ) ss.: COUNTY OF ) The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows: 1. The undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the "Certificate") issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement (the "Agreement"), between GS Mortgage Securities Corp. (the "Depositor") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee. 2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false. 3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false. 4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.) 5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void. 6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit I to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee. 7. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate. 8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________. 9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30) and the Agreement. 10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax. 11. The Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S. Person. 12. Check one of the following: The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of: (i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire such Certificate; (ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate; and (iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses. For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Transferee. The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly, (i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States; (ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million; (iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and (iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith. None of the above. 13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this____ day of____, 20____.

Subsection 9.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, its successors and assigns and the Successor Servicer that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan: (a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct; (b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note, other than payments not yet one month delinquent, have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is one month or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been one month or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan; (c) No Outstanding Charges. Except for payment defaults of less than one month, there are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the date which precedes by one (1) month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest; (d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgage Loan has been modified so as to restructure the payment obligations or re-age the Mortgage Loan. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; (e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at, or subsequent to, the time the Mortgage Loan was originated; (f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Interim Servicing Agreement. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Interim Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid and such policies may not be reduced, terminated or cancelled without 30 days' prior written notice to the mortgagee. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's or any servicer's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of such policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller; (g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, predatory and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws or unfair and deceptive practices laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, any provisions relating to prepayment penalties, have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser's inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach Representation; (h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor; (i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is a fee simple property located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule except that with respect to real property located in jurisdictions in which the use of leasehold estates for residential properties is a widely-accepted practice, the Mortgaged Property may be a leasehold estate and consists of a single parcel real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development which is in each case four stories or less, provided, however, that any mobile home (double wide only) or manufactured dwelling shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae (with respect to each Mortgage Loan which the Seller indicates is a Fannie Mae eligible mortgage loan) and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings and that no Mortgage Loan is secured by a single parcel of real property with a cooperative housing corporation, a log home or a mobile home erected thereon or by a mixed-use property, a property in excess of 10 acres, or other unique property types. As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. With respect to any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property improved by manufactured housing, (i) the related manufactured housing unit is permanently affixed to the land, (ii) the related manufactured housing unit and the related land are subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the appropriate public recording office and naming the Seller as mortgagee, (iii) the related Mortgaged Property is not located in the state of New Jersey and (iv) as of the origination date of the related Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgagor occupied the related manufactured home as its primary residence. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach Representation; (j) Valid First or Second Lien. Each Mortgage is a valid and subsisting first or second lien (as applicable) of record on a single parcel of real estate constituting the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time, with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, which exceptions are generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending companies, and such other exceptions to which similar properties are commonly subject and which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: (1) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property; and (4) with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage a prior mortgage lien on the Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each First Lien Mortgage Loan, or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, in either case, on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to Purchaser; (k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment Penalties), 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 a proceeding in equity or a law). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related parties. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, gross negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File; (l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; (m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof not delivered to the Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan. After the related Closing Date, the Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have no obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement; (n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such state, or (iii) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such state; (o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%; (p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA lender's title insurance policy, and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first or second priority lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) of paragraph (j) of this Subsection 9.02 and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. The Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims are pending under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller; (q) No Defaults. Other than payment delinquencies of less than one month, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration. With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, (i) the prior mortgage is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such prior mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the prior mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the prior mortgage; (r) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage; (s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation; (t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap, are as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Except with respect to interest-only mortgage loans set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization. There are no Convertible Mortgage Loans which contain a provision allowing the Mortgagor to convert the Mortgage Note from an adjustable interest rate Mortgage Note to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Note. No Mortgage Loan is a simple interest mortgage loan; (u) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law; (v) Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in effect as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I). The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms generally acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae and the Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used; (w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities; (x) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above; (y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a reconveyance of the deed of trust or a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor; (z) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Custodian. The Seller is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit A hereto, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian; (aa) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project is acceptable to Seller and underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines; (bb) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller is not subject to the bulk transfer or similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction; (cc) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision (except as such enforcement may be effected by bankruptcy and insolvency laws or by general principals of equity) for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder, and to the best of the Seller's knowledge, such provision is enforceable; (dd) Assumability. None of the Mortgage Loans are, by their terms, assumable; (ee) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature; (ff) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the related Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first or second lien priority, as applicable, by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; (gg) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing Date, the Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado, hurricane or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is inhabitable under applicable state and local laws; (hh) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments (other than with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans for which the mortgagee under the prior mortgage lien is collecting Escrow Payments), all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited; (ii) No Violation of Environmental Laws. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgage Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property; (jj) Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act. Except as disclosed to the Purchaser on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act; (kk) Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the related originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated; (ll) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by, and the Seller has complied with, all applicable law with respect to the making of the Mortgage Loans; (mm) Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property; (nn) Value of Mortgaged Property. The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances existing that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value or the marketability of any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan or to cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than similar mortgage loans originated to the same Underwriting Guidelines held by the Seller generally secured by properties in the same geographic area as the related Mortgaged Property; (oo) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. The Seller has caused or will cause to be performed any and all acts required to preserve the rights and remedies of the Purchaser in any insurance policies applicable to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers, assignments of policies or interests therein, and establishments of coinsured, joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the Purchaser. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the related Closing Date (whether or not known to the Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable, special hazard insurance policy, or bankruptcy bond (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer's breach of such insurance policy or such insurer's financial inability to pay; (pp) Escrow Analysis. With respect to each Mortgage with an Escrow Account, the Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that, assuming all required payments are timely made, any deficiency will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with RESPA and any other applicable law; (qq) Prior Servicing. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects in strict compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Seller has reported or caused to be reported, the Mortgagor credit files to each of the three primary credit repositories monthly in a timely manner; (rr) Leaseholds. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the terms of such lease do not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the lessee's default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction as long as the Mortgage is in existence, (c) prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured (or receiving proceeds of insurance) under the hazard insurance policy or policies relating to the Mortgaged Property or (d) permit any increase in rent other than pre-established increases set forth in the lease; (4) the original term of such lease is not less than 15 years; (5) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates in transferring ownership in residential properties is a widely accepted practice; (ss) Prepayment Penalty. The Mortgage Loan is subject to a prepayment penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note except as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Interim Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser, and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. Each such prepayment penalty is in an amount not more than the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and no such prepayment penalty may be imposed for a term in excess of five (5) years with respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior to October, 1, 2002. With respect to Mortgage Loans originated on or after October 1, 2002, the duration of the prepayment period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date of the Mortgage Note unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than three (3) years from the date of such Mortgage Loan and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of such reduction in prepayment period. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium and (iii) the prepayment premium is disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state, local and federal law. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach Representation; (tt) Predatory Lending Regulations. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or local law. The Mortgaged Property is not located in a jurisdiction where a breach of this representation with respect to the related Mortgage Loan may result in additional assignee liability to the Purchaser, as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion. No predatory or deceptive lending practices, including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of Fannie Mae's Selling Guide. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach Representation; (uu) Single-premium Credit Life Insurance Policy. In connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan, no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance or acquire a single-premium credit life insurance policy. No Mortgagor was required to purchase any single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, mortgage, or health insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan; no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single-premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach Representation; (vv) Tax Service Contract; Flood Certification Contract. Each First Lien Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract and a paid in full, life of loan, flood certification contract and each of these contracts is assignable to the Purchaser; (ww) Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is an obligation (including any participation or certificate of beneficial ownership therein) which is principally secured by an interest in real property; (xx) Regarding the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor is one or more natural persons and/or trustees for an Illinois land trust; (yy) Recordation. Each original Mortgage was recorded and, except for those Mortgage Loans subject to the MERS identification system, all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or is in the process of being recorded; (zz) Credit Scores. Unless set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, each Mortgage Loan has a non-zero credit score. No Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor with a credit score of less than 500 as of the related origination date; (aaa) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the "Anti-Money Laundering Laws"); to the extent applicable to the Seller as of the related Closing Date, the Seller has established an anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws; (bbb) Origination Practices. No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator, the Mortgage Loan's originator referred the Mortgagor's application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach Representation; (ccc) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs, in part, objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor's equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach Representation; (ppp) Consent.

This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach Representation. Subsection 9.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, its successors and assigns and the Successor Servicer, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein (or which materially and adversely affects the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan); (provided, with respect to any representations and warranties which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller or the Purchaser 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 interest of the Purchaser or which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty) (a "Loan In Breach"), the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price, together with all expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a result of such repurchase. Notwithstanding the above sentence, (i) within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in clause (ww) of Subsection 9.02, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price, together with all expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a result of such repurchase and (ii) any breach of a Deemed Material Breach Representation shall automatically be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan and the interest of the Purchaser therein. In the event that a Loan in Breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.01, and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser's option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in Subsections 9.02 or 9.08 (other than the representations and warranties set forth in clauses (ww) of Subsection 9.02 or any Deemed Material Breach Representation) and the Seller discovers or receives notice of any such breach within one hundred twenty (120) days of the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option and provided that the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 9.04 shall be accomplished by either (a) if the Interim Servicing Agreement has been entered into and is in effect, deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution or (b) if the Interim Servicing Agreement is no longer in effect, by direct remittance of the Repurchase Price to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions. At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such substitution, whether or not such substitution date is after the related Transfer Date. The Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Custodian or to such other party as the Purchaser may designate in writing for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Subsection 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Subsection 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the initial Determination Date for such month. The Seller shall remit directly to the Purchaser, or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due, if any, on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. For any month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by the Seller directly to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions within two (2) Business Days of such substitution. In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, its successors and assigns and the Successor Servicer and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other reasonable costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 9.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser, its successors and assigns and the Successor Servicer as provided in this Subsection 9.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser and the Successor Servicer respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. For purposes of this paragraph, "Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this Agreement and "Successor Servicer" shall mean the Person then acting as the Successor Servicer under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Successor Servicers" under this Agreement. Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Seller hereby agrees to execute a recognition agreement in the form of Exhibit L hereto recognizing the servicer designated by the Purchaser therein as the Successor Servicer. Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 9.01, 9.02 or 9.08 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement. Subsection 9.04 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans With First Payment Defaults. With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgagor fails to make the first Monthly Payment to be made by the Mortgagor after the related Closing Date before the Due Date immediately following such initial Due Date (such date, the "First Payment Default Date", such failure to pay, a "First Payment Default"), the Seller shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice from the Purchaser, promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan (a "First Payment Default Mortgage Loan") from the Purchaser at the Purchase Price plus accrued interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate from the date on which interest had last been paid through the date of such repurchase, plus the amount of any outstanding advances owed to any servicer, plus all costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or any servicer arising out of or based upon such breach, including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in the enforcement of the Seller's repurchase obligation hereunder. The Purchaser shall request repurchase of any Mortgage Loans to be repurchased pursuant to this Subsection 9.04 on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after the related First Payment Default Date. Subsection 9.05 Purchaser's Right to Review. Prior to the related Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the right to perform on-site due diligence at the premises of the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Seller will provide information and otherwise cooperate with the due diligence reviews of the Purchaser, its co-investor's, its financial partner's, and the rating agencies. The Seller shall make the Mortgage Files and the Credit Files, together with any payment histories, collection histories, bankruptcy histories, broker's price opinions, and any other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans requested by the Purchaser, available at the Seller's offices for review by Purchaser or its agents during normal business hours before the related Closing Date. The Purchaser shall have the right, at its own expense, to order additional broker's price opinions in its sole discretion. The Purchaser shall have the right to reject any Mortgage Loan (a) for which the Mortgage File documentation is missing or defective in whole or in part, (b) for which (i) the related broker's price opinion is more than 15% below the appraisal provided in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan (or such other threshold as set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement), (c) which does not conform to the Seller's Underwriting Guidelines or compliance guidelines, (d) which does not conform to the terms of the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement or is in breach of the representations and warranties set forth herein, or (e) for which the credit or compliance characteristics are unacceptable to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete due diligence examination. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the files shall not affect the Purchaser's (or any of its successor's) rights to demand repurchase or other relief for breach of Mortgage Loan representations and warranties, missing or defective documents or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. SECTION 10. Closing. Each closing for the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on the related Closing Date. At the Purchaser's option, each closing shall be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree, or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall agree. The closing for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on each Closing Date shall be subject to each of the following conditions: (i) prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser via electronic medium acceptable to the Purchaser, a listing on a loan-level basis of the necessary information to compute the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loans delivered on the related Closing Date (including accrued interest), and prepare a Mortgage Loan Schedule; (ii) all of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement shall be true and correct as of the related Closing Date and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement; (iii) the Purchaser shall have received, or the Purchaser's attorneys shall have received in escrow, all closing documents as specified in Section 11 of this Agreement, in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the terms hereof; (iv) the Seller shall have delivered and released to the Custodian all documents required pursuant to the Custodial Agreement; and (v) all other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement shall have been complied with. Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller on the related Closing Date the Purchase Price, plus accrued interest pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Seller.

The Closing Documents for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on the initial Closing Date shall consist of fully executed originals of the following documents: 1. this Agreement; 2. the Interim Servicing Agreement; 3. the Custodial Agreement; 4. an Officer's Certificate, in the form of Exhibit E hereto with respect to the Seller, including all attachments thereto; 5. an Opinion of Counsel of the Seller (who may be an employee of the Seller), in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser ("Opinion of Counsel of the Seller"); 6. a Custodial Account Letter Agreement or a Custodial Account Certification, as applicable, as required under the Interim Servicing Agreement; 7. an Escrow Account Letter Agreement or an Escrow Account Certification, as applicable, as required under the Interim Servicing Agreement; 8. an Opinion of Counsel of the Custodian (who may be an employee of the Custodian), in the form of an exhibit to the Custodial Agreement; 9. a certificate or other evidence of merger or change of name, signed or stamped by the applicable regulatory authority, if any of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the related Seller by merger or acquired or originated by the Seller while conducting business under a name other than its present name, if applicable; and The Closing Documents to be delivered on each Closing Date shall consist of fully executed originals of the following documents: 1. an Assignment and Conveyance in the form of Exhibit I hereto, including all exhibits; 2. the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, with one copy to be attached to the related Assignment and Conveyance; 3. the initial certification of the Custodian with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package as required under the Custodial Agreement in the form of Exhibit 2 thereto; 4. a Security Release Certification, substantially in the form of Exhibit E or F, hereto executed by any person, as requested by the Purchaser, if any of the Mortgage Loans have at any time been subject to any security interest, pledge or hypothecation for the benefit of such person; 5. a certificate or other evidence of merger or change of name, signed or stamped by the applicable regulatory authority, if any of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Seller by merger or acquired or originated by the Seller while conducting business under a name other than its present name, if applicable; and 6. if requested, by the Purchaser in connection with a material change in Seller's financial condition or corporate structure, an updated Officer's Certificate, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, including all attachments thereto and an updated Opinion of Counsel of the Seller, in the form of Exhibit F hereto. 7. a MERS Report reflecting the Custodian as Investor and no Person as Interim Funder for each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 13. Cooperation of Seller with a Reconstitution. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates (each a "Reconstitution Date") at the Purchaser's sole option, the Purchaser may effect a sale (each, a "Reconstitution") of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to: (i) one or more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan Transfers; or (ii) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more Securitization Transactions; With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization Transaction entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement as of the related Reconstitution Date, provided, that with respect to representations and warranties for which modifications may be necessary to reflect changes due to events that may have occurred since the related Closing Date, such representations and warranties shall be restated as of the related Transfer Date, modified, if necessary, to reflect changes due to events that may have occurred from the related Closing Date through the related Transfer Date and (3) to enter into an assignment and recognition agreement or other agreement in connection with such Transaction (the "Transaction Agreement") setting forth such restated representations and warranties as of the related Transfer Date and the remedies for breach of same (which remedies will be the same as those set forth in this Agreement).

If a Transaction occurs during an Interim Period, the Seller agrees to enter into a sub-servicing agreement with the Purchaser and the related successor servicer mutually acceptable to the parties. Any such sub-servicing agreement shall require the Seller to deliver (but not file) all necessary Sarbanes-Oxley certifications with respect to the Mortgage Loans mutually acceptable to the parties. Moreover, the Seller agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser to effect such Transaction Agreements and Reconstitutions. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each Affiliate designated by the Purchaser, each Person who controls the Purchaser or such Affiliate, and any Successor Servicer and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain in any way related to any information provided by or on behalf of the Seller regarding the Seller, the Seller's servicing practices or performance, the Mortgage Loans or the Underwriting Guidelines set forth in any offering document prepared in connection with any Reconstitution which contains or will contain any material untrue statement of fact or omits or will omit to state a fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. For purposes of the previous sentence, "Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this Agreement.

Any part, provision representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity. SECTION 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. SECTION 19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed in effect when a fully executed counterpart thereof is received by the Purchaser in the State of New York and shall be deemed to have been made in the State of New York. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws principles), except to the extent preempted by Federal law. SECTION 20. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification of such arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent direct ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review. SECTION 21. Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent may be withheld by the Purchaser in its sole discretion. This Agreement may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Purchaser in whole or in part, and with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, without the consent of the Seller; provided that with respect to each Mortgage Loan Package, Seller shall not be required to recognize more than (a) three transferees of the Purchaser pursuant to Securitization Transactions and (b) one transferee of the Purchaser pursuant to a Whole Loan Transfer. In the event the Purchaser assigns this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the Purchaser's obligations hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look solely to such assignee, and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the obligations so assumed and the Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability to the Seller with respect thereto. The Successor Servicer shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. SECTION 22. Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced. SECTION 23. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement. SECTION 24. General Interpretive Principles. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires: (a) the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender; (b) accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (c) references herein to "Articles," "Sections," "Subsections," "Paragraphs," and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement; (d) reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions; (e) the words "herein," "hereof," "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision; and (f) the term "include" or "including" shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration.

The parties agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. SECTION 26. Further Agreements. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. SECTION 27. Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Assignments of Mortgage is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or their comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected at the Seller's expense in the event recordation is either necessary under applicable law or requested by the Purchaser (which request may be made by the Purchaser at any time following the related Closing Date) at its sole option (except with respect to any MERS Designated Mortgage Loan). SECTION 28. No Solicitation. From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it will not take any action or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors on the Seller's behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan to refinance a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any mortgagors to refinance any Mortgage Loans and the attendant rights, title and interest in and to the list of such mortgagors and data relating to their mortgages (including insurance renewal dates) shall be transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the related Closing Date and the Seller shall take no action to undermine these rights and benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Seller or any affiliate of the Seller which are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailing, internet, and email solicitations based, in all instances, on commercially acquired mailing lists (which may not be targeted at the Mortgagors,) and newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 28. It is understood and agreed that responses to payoff inquiries by the Mortgagors or obligors shall not constitute solicitation for purposes of this Section 28. SECTION 29. Waiver of Trial by Jury. THE SELLER AND THE PURCHASER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 31. Confidential Information The Seller understands and agrees that this Agreement, the Side Letter, the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, the Interim Servicing Agreement, and any other agreements executed in connection with the sale contemplated hereunder, any agreements executed in connection with the securitization of the Mortgage Loans, and any offering circulars or other disclosure documents produced in connection with such securitization (the "Agreements") are confidential and proprietary to the Purchaser, and the Seller agrees to hold such documents confidential and not to divulge such documents to anyone except (a) to the extent required by law or judicial order or to enforce its rights or remedies under the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement or the Agreements, (b) to the extent such information enters into the public domain other than through the wrongful act of the Seller, (c) as is necessary in working with legal counsel, auditors, agents, rating agencies, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or (d) the federal income tax treatment of the transactions hereunder, any fact relevant to understanding the federal tax treatment of the transactions hereunder, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal income tax treatment; provided that the Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Purchaser or any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information that is unrelated to the purported or claimed federal income tax treatment of the transactions hereunder and is not relevant to understanding the purported or claimed federal income tax treatment of the transactions hereunder. Moreover, the Seller understands and agrees that this Agreement, any other agreements executed in connection with the sale contemplated hereunder, any agreements executed in connection with the securitization of the Mortgage Loans, and any offering circulars or other disclosure documents produced in connection with such securitization are confidential and proprietary to the Purchaser, and the Seller agrees to hold such documents confidential and not to divulge such documents to anyone except (a) to the extent required by law or judicial order or to enforce its rights or remedies under this letter agreement or the Agreements, (b) to the extent such information enters into the public domain other than through the wrongful act of the Seller, or (c) as is necessary in working with legal counsel, auditors, agents, rating agencies, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies. The rights and obligations set forth in this paragraph shall survive the Closing Date and shall not merge into the closing documents but shall be independently enforceable by the parties hereto. SECTION 32. Compliance with Regulation AB Subsection 32.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 32 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings. Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). Each of the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate fully with the other party to deliver any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the party requesting such information to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Seller, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Seller by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser's reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB. Subsection 32.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Seller. (a) The Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Subsection 32.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to such date: (i) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Seller or any Third-Party Originator; and (ii) there are no affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Seller or any Third-Party Originator with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB. (b) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor on any date following the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under Subsection 32.03, the Seller shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such request, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party. Subsection 32.03 Information to Be Provided by the Seller. In connection with any Securitization Transaction the Seller shall (i) within five Business Days following request by the Purchaser or any Depositor, provide to the Purchaser and such Depositor (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide), in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor, the information and materials specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, and (ii) as promptly as practicable following notice to or discovery by the Seller, provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor (in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor) the information specified in paragraph (d) of this Section. (a) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall provide such information regarding (i) the Seller, as originator of the Mortgage Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified Correspondent), or (ii) each Third-Party Originator, as is requested for the purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1105, 1110, 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB. Such information shall include, at a minimum: (A) the originator's form of organization; (B) a description of the originator's origination program and how long the originator has been engaged in originating residential mortgage loans, which description shall include a discussion of the originator's experience in originating mortgage loans of a similar type as the Mortgage Loans; information regarding the size and composition of the originator's origination portfolio; and information that may be material, in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser or any Depositor, to an analysis of the performance of the Mortgage Loans, including the originators' credit-granting or underwriting criteria for mortgage loans of similar type(s) as the Mortgage Loans and such other information as the Purchaser or any Depositor may reasonably request for the purpose of compliance with Item 1110(b)(2) of Regulation AB; (C) a description of any material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Seller and each Third-Party Originator; and (D) a description of any affiliation or relationship between the Seller, each Third-Party Originator and any of the following parties to a Securitization Transaction, as such parties are identified to the Seller by the Purchaser or any Depositor in writing in advance of such Securitization Transaction: (1) the sponsor; (2) the depositor; (3) the issuing entity; (4) any servicer; (5) any trustee; (6) any originator; (7) any significant obligor; (8) any enhancement or support provider; and (9) any other material transaction party. (b) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall provide (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide) Static Pool Information with respect to the mortgage loans (of a similar type as the Mortgage Loans, as reasonably identified by the Purchaser as provided below) originated by (i) the Seller, if the Seller is an originator of Mortgage Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified Correspondent), and/or (ii) each Third-Party Originator. Such Static Pool Information shall be prepared by the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) on the basis of its reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of Item 1105(a)(1)-(3) of Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably available to the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) Static Pool Information with respect to more than one mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor shall be entitled to specify whether some or all of such information shall be provided pursuant to this paragraph. The content of such Static Pool Information may be in the form customarily provided by the Seller, and need not be customized for the Purchaser or any Depositor. Such Static Pool Information for each vintage origination year or prior securitized pool, as applicable, shall be presented in increments no less frequently than quarterly over the life of the mortgage loans included in the vintage origination year or prior securitized pool. The most recent periodic increment must be as of a date no later than one hundred thirty-five (135) days prior to the date of the prospectus or other offering document in which the Static Pool Information is to be included or incorporated by reference. The Static Pool Information shall be provided in an electronic format that provides a permanent record of the information provided, such as a portable document format (pdf) file, or other such electronic format reasonably required by the Purchaser or the Depositor, as applicable.

Any such statement or letter may take the form of a standard, generally applicable document accompanied by a reliance letter authorizing reliance by the addressees designated by the Purchaser or such Depositor. With respect to those Mortgage Loans that were originated by Seller and sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and subsequently securitized by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with then-current industry practice, cause the servicer (or another party to such securitization) under the securitization to be obligated to provide, information with respect to the Mortgage Loans from and after cut-off date of such securitization necessary for the Seller to comply with its obligations under Regulation AB, including, without limitation, providing to the Seller static pool information, as set forth in Item 1105(a)(2) and (5) of Regulation AB.

No Mortgage Loan subject to the Georgia Act and secured by owner occupied real property or an owner occupied manufactured home located in the State of Georgia was originated (or modified) on or after October 1, 2002 through and including March 6, 2003. (e) No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in New York Banking Law 6-1; (f) No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Arkansas Home Loan Protection Act effective July 16, 2003 (Act 1340 of 2003); (g) No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Kentucky high-cost home loan statute effective June 24, 2003 (Ky.

Stat. Ann. ss.ss. 58-21A-1 et seq.); (j) No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Risk Home Loan" as defined in the Illinois High-Risk Home Loan Act effective January 1, 2004 (815 Ill. Comp. Stat. 137/1 et seq.); (k) No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act, effective November 6, 2004 (Mass. Ann. Laws Ch. 183C); (l) No borrower was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such borrower did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator. If, at the time of loan application, the borrower may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator, the Mortgage Loan's originator referred the borrower's application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration; (m) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs, in part, objective mathematical principles which relate the borrower's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the borrower's equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the borrower had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan; (n) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the loan's origination, the borrower agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the loan's origination, the borrower was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the prepayment premium is disclosed to the borrower in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, (iv) for loans originated on or after September 1, 2004, the duration of the prepayment period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date of the note, unless the loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than three years from the date of the note and the borrower was notified in writing of such reduction in prepayment period, and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Servicer shall not impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the borrower's default in making the loan payments; (o) No borrower was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan; No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan; (p) All points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation. Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination, no borrower was charged "points and fees" (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Fannie Mae Selling Guide. (q) All fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan has been disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation; (r) The Servicer will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and that for each Mortgage Loan, Servicer agrees it shall report one of the following statuses each month as follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or charged-off; and (s) No Mortgage Loan is a balloon mortgage loan that has an original stated maturity of less than seven (7) years.

The Interim Servicer may not waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Interim Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Interim Servicer, the Purchaser shall furnish the Interim Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Interim Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Interim 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 Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law and the Purchaser's reliance on the Interim Servicer.

Upon notice thereof, Interim Servicer shall mark its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by such assignee, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder.

In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 2.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Interim Servicer shall take such action as (1) the Interim Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Interim Servicer shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser. Section 2.03 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from the date hereof until the related Transfer Date the Interim Servicer shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. Section 2.04 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account. The Interim Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "Fremont Investment & Loan, in trust for Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, Residential Fixed and Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors." The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to the Purchaser. The Interim Servicer and the Purchaser Intend that the Custodial Account be a special deposit account. Any funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Interim Servicer in accordance with Section 2.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Interim Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Interim Servicer. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser.

Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Interim Servicer and the Interim Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 2.05. Section 2.05 Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account.

The Interim Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, "Fremont Investment & Loan, in trust for Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company Residential Fixed and Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors". The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. The Interim Servicer and the Purchaser intend that the Escrow Accounts be special deposit accounts. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Interim Servicer in accordance with Section 2.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 4 hereto, in the case of an account established with the Interim Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 5 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than the Interim Servicer. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Purchaser and, upon request, to any subsequent Purchaser. The Interim Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein: (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Interim Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 2.07. The Interim Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Interim Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes. Section 2.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account. Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Interim Servicer only: (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage; (ii) to reimburse the Interim Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by the Interim Servicer pursuant to Section 2.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan; (iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note; (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 2.13; (vi) to pay to the Interim Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account; (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement; and (viii) to withdraw funds deposited in error.

To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Interim Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Interim Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Interim Servicer shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments. Section 2.09 Protection of Accounts. The Interim Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. The Interim Servicer shall bear any expenses, losses or damages sustained by the Purchaser because the Custodial Account and/or the Escrow Account are not demand deposit accounts. Amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account may at the option of the Interim Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the "Insured Amount") the Interim Servicer shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the same Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account. Any such Eligible Investment shall mature no later than the Determination Date next following the date of such Eligible Investment, provided, however, that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of a Qualified Depository (other than the Interim Servicer) that maintains the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, then such Eligible Investment may mature on such Remittance Date. Any such Eligible Investment shall be made in the name of the Interim Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser. All income on or gain realized from any such Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Interim Servicer and may be withdrawn at any time by the Interim Servicer. Any losses incurred in respect of any such investment shall be deposited in the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account, by the Interim Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized. Section 2.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Interim Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each First Lien Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer rated A:VI or better in the current Best's Key Rating Guide ("Best's") against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer. If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier rated A:VI or better in Best's in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Interim Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Interim Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Interim Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor's behalf. If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Interim Servicer shall verify that the coverage required of the owner's association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with the related Underwriting Guidelines, and secure from the owner's association its agreement to notify the Interim Servicer promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security. The Interim Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property earthquake or such other or additional insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices. In the event that the Purchaser or the Interim Servicer shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Interim Servicer shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor's attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property. All policies required hereunder shall name the Interim Servicer as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or New York mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage. The Interim Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent (unless the insurance is force placed), provided, however, that the Interim Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are rated A:VI or better in Best's and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Interim Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Interim Servicer shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for renewal coverage by the expiration date; provided, however, that in the event that no such notice is furnished by the Interim Servicer, the Interim Servicer shall ensure that replacement insurance policies are in place in the required coverages and the Interim Servicer shall be solely liable for any losses in the event coverage is not provided.. Pursuant to Section 2.04, any amounts collected by the Interim Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Interim Servicer's normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 2.13) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.05. Section 2.11 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Interim Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans ("Interim Servicer Employees"). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Interim Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Interim Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Interim Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 2.11 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Interim Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Interim Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. Section 2.12 Inspections. With respect to REO Properties, the Interim Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary by the Interim Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property is being preserved. The Interim Servicer shall keep a written report of each such inspection. Section 2.13 Restoration of Mortgaged Property. The Interim Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Interim Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds: (i) the Interim Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto; (ii) the Interim Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens; (iii) the Interim Servicer shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and (iv) pending repairs or restoration, the Interim Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account. If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Interim Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser. Section 2.14 Liquidation Reports. Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Interim Servicer shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property. Section 2.15 Notification of Adjustments. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Interim Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Interim Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The Interim Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Purchaser such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Interim Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Purchaser that the Interim Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Interim Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Purchaser thereby.

Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Interim Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day the payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Interim Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Interim Servicer. Section 3.02 Statements to Purchaser. Not later than the date which is 2 Business Days prior to the Remittance Date, the Interim Servicer shall furnish to the Purchaser a Monthly Remittance Advice, with a trial balance report attached thereto, in the form of Exhibit 1 annexed hereto in hard copy and electronic medium mutually acceptable to the parties as to the preceding remittance and the period ending on the preceding Determination Date. In addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Interim Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year. Such obligation of the Interim Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Interim Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as from time to time are in force. The Interim Servicer shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to the Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Interim Servicer shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time. Section 3.03 Advances by Servicer. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Interim Servicer shall be entitled to first priority reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof for Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances from recoveries from the related Mortgagor or from all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. Section 3.04 Principal and Interest Advances by Interim Servicer. On the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date, the Interim Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent on the Business Day immediately preceding such Remittance Date or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.01. ARTICLE IV GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES Section 4.01 Transfers of Mortgaged Property. The Interim Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Interim Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto. If the Interim Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Interim Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Interim Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Interim Servicer for entering into an assumption agreement, a portion of such fee, up to an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, will be retained by the Interim Servicer as additional servicing compensation, and any portion thereof in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for the benefit of the Purchaser. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan nor the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed. To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Interim Servicer shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the relevant underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used by the Sellers and their affiliates with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Interim Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. Section 4.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Interim Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Interim Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 3.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents from the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 4.02 hereof. If the Interim Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Interim Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Interim Servicer shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within 5 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Interim Servicer shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 2.11 insuring the Interim Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. Section 4.03 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its services hereunder, the Interim Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans on each Remittance Date the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the same unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee shall be payable only at the time of and with respect to those Mortgage Loans for which payment is in fact made of the entire amount of the Monthly Payment. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments collected by the Interim Servicer. Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by the Interim Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Interim Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein. Section 4.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Interim Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser, on or before March 1st each year beginning March 1, 2006, and on the related Transfer Date an Officer's Certificate, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Interim Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) the Interim Servicer has complied fully with the provisions of Article II and Article IV, and (iii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Interim Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Interim Servicer to cure such default. Section 4.05 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report. On or before March 15th of each year beginning March 15, 2006, the Interim Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to each Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of Article II and Article III have been complied with, and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Section 4.06 Right to Examine Interim Servicer Records. The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit any and all of the books, records, or other material information of the Interim Servicer, whether held by the Interim Servicer or by another on its behalf, with respect to or concerning this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, during business hours or at such other times as may be reasonable under applicable circumstances, upon reasonable advance notice. Section 4.07 Compliance with Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. With respect to each Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgagor, the Interim Servicer shall comply with Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, as amended and all applicable regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, and shall provide all notices required thereunder using the notice language supplied by the Purchaser unless the Interim Servicer reasonably objects to such language. ARTICLE V SELLER TO COOPERATE Section 5.01 Provision of Information.

If it has not already done so, the Interim Servicer shall furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Interim Servicer shall make available to the Purchaser or any prospective Purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting recent developments affecting the Interim Servicer or the financial statements of the Interim Servicer, and to permit any prospective Purchaser to inspect the Interim Servicer's servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such prospective Purchaser that the Interim Servicer has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement. ARTICLE VI TERMINATION Section 6.01 Damages. The Purchaser shall have the right at any time to seek and recover from the Interim Servicer any damages or losses suffered by it as a result of any failure by the Interim Servicer to observe or perform any duties, obligations, covenants or agreements herein contained or contained in the Purchase Agreement. Section 6.02 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Mortgage Loans or portion thereof transferred on the related Transfer Date or on such other date as mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Interim Servicer. The Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement and transfer the servicing from the Interim Servicer prior to the related Transfer Date with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans upon the occurrence of any breach by the Interim Servicer of the terms of this Agreement. In the event the Interim Servicer is terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Interim Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and with any party designated as the successor servicer or subservicer in transferring the servicing to such successor servicer. In addition, the Interim Servicer shall be responsible for notifying the related mortgagors of any transfer of servicing in accordance with the requirements of the RESPA and the Cranston Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. The Interim Servicer shall send out good-bye letters with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the date which is 15 days prior to the related Transfer Date or such other date as is mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Interim Servicer. On or before the related Transfer Date or such other date specified by the Purchaser in accordance with this paragraph (a) for the transfer of servicing from the Interim Servicer, the Interim Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Purchaser any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Interim Servicer's sole expense. The Interim Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts in effecting the termination of the Interim Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder and the transfer to the Successor Servicer.

ARTICLE VII BOOKS AND RECORDS Section 7.01 Possession of Servicing Files Prior to the Transfer Date. Prior to the related Transfer Date, the contents of each Servicing File are and shall be held in trust by the Interim Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof. The Interim Servicer shall maintain in the Servicing File a copy of the contents of each Mortgage File and the originals of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser. The possession of the Servicing File by the Interim Servicer is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Interim Servicer is in its capacity as Servicer only and at the election of the Purchaser. The Interim Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Purchaser, unless such release is required as incidental to the Interim Servicer's servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Interim Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be marked clearly to reflect the ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser.

The Interim Servicer shall follow any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such claim. The Purchaser promptly shall reimburse and indemnify the Interim Servicer for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Interim Servicer's indemnification pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, or the failure of the Interim Servicer to (a) service and administer the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and/or (b) comply with applicable law. Purchaser shall use it reasonable best efforts to assign to the Interim Servicer the indemnity provided by the Successor Servicer in the servicing agreement between the Purchaser and such Successor Servicer.

Neither the Interim Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Interim Servicer shall be under any liability to the Purchaser 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 Interim Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Interim Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Interim Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Interim Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability, provided, however, that the Interim Servicer may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Interim Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Purchaser of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action. Section 8.03 Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Interim Servicer. Except as provided in Section 6.02, the Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the Interim Servicer and subsequent Purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Interim Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Interim Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets prior to the final Transfer Date without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Purchaser. The Interim Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the related Transfer Date except by mutual consent of the Interim Servicer and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Interim Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Interim Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Interim Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 6.02. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.03, in the event that the Interim Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 6.02, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Interim Servicer or any third party. Section 8.04 Assignment by Purchaser. The Purchaser shall have the right, without the consent of the Interim Servicer, to assign, in whole or in part, its interest under this Agreement with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, and designate any person to exercise any rights of the Purchaser hereunder. Upon such assignment of rights and assumption of obligations, the assignee or designee shall accede to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans and the Purchaser as assignor shall be released from all obligations hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans from and after the date of such assignment and assumption. All references to the Purchaser in this Agreement shall be deemed to include its assignee or designee with respect to such Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any such assignment, Interim Servicer shall remain entitled to the Servicing Fee and other compensation hereunder payable up through and including the Transfer Date, which, when added to any servicing compensation previously paid, shall not be less than 90 days of compensation.

ARTICLE XII COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB Section 12.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The Purchaser and the Interim Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XII of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.

References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings. Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Interim Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Interim Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Interim Servicer any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Interim Servicer by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser's reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB. Section 12.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Interim Servicer.

Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such prepaid amounts (minus interest at the Servicing Fee Rate) shall be the property of the Purchaser.

The Company shall release its custody of the contents of any Retained Mortgage File and Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Purchaser, unless such release is required as incidental to the Company's servicing of the Mortgage Loans, in the case of the Servicing File, or is in connection with a repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.3, 3.3 or 6.2. In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company agrees that it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Company to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS(R) System to identify the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loans. Prior to the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will provide the Company with Purchaser's MERS registration number.

The Company shall be responsible for recording the Assignments of Mortgage.

In the event the public recording office is delayed in returning any original document, which the Company is required to deliver at any time to the Custodian in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement or which the Company is required to maintain in the Retained Mortgage File, the Company shall deliver to the Custodian or to the Retained Mortgage File, as applicable, within 240 days of its submission for recordation, a copy of such document and an Officer's Certificate, which shall (i) identify the recorded document; (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay by the public recording office, (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, and (iv) specify the date the applicable recorded document will be delivered to the Custodian. The Company will be required to deliver the document to the Custodian by the date specified in (iv) above. An extension of the date specified in (iv) above may be requested from the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the originals or certified copies required in this Section 2.3 are not delivered as required within 180 days following the related Closing Date or as otherwise extended as set forth above, or within the designated time period, following any date subsequent to the related Closing Date as of which the Company becomes obligated to deliver additional documents from its Retained Mortgage File pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event the Company cannot deliver such items due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that the Company shall deliver instead a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an Officer's Certificate from the Company confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording. Any such document shall be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee promptly upon receipt thereof from the related recording office. If the Company, the Purchaser or the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Retained Mortgage File or the Custodial Mortgage File pertaining to a Mortgage Loan to be defective (or missing) in any material respect (regardless of whether the Company was required to deliver such document(s) to the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement or whether such document(s) were to remain in the possession of the Company), and such defect or missing document materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser therein, the party discovering such defect shall promptly so notify the Company. The Company shall have a period of 90 days after receipt of such written notice within which to correct or cure any such defect. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if any material defect cannot be corrected or cured, the Company will, upon the expiration of the applicable cure period described above, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 3.3; provided, however, that with respect to any Mortgage Loan, if such defect constitutes a Qualification Defect, any such repurchase must take place within 75 days of the date such defect is discovered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, if, at the end of such 90-day period, the Company delivers an Officer's Certificate to the Purchaser certifying that the Company is using good faith efforts to correct or cure such defect and identifying progress made, then the Purchaser shall grant the Company an extension to correct or cure such defect. The extension shall not extend beyond (1) the date that is 75 days after the date the defect is discovered, or, (2) if the defect is not a Qualification Defect (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel), the date that is 30 days beyond the original 90-day cure period. If the defect is not a Qualification Defect, additional 30-day extensions may be obtained pursuant to the same procedure, as long as the Company demonstrates continued progress toward a correction or cure; provided that no extension shall be granted beyond 180 days from the date on which the Company received the original notice of the defect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the failure of the Purchaser to notify the Company of any defective or missing document in either the Retained Mortgage File or Custodial Mortgage File within such 90-day period, or the failure of the Purchaser to require the Company to cure or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan upon expiration of such 90-day period, shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder, including the rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan, to require the Company to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan and the right to indemnification pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof. In the event that new, replacement, substitute or additional Stock Certificates are issued with respect to existing Cooperative Shares, the Company immediately shall deliver to the Custodian the new Stock Certificates, together with the related Stock Powers in blank. Such new Stock Certificates shall be subject to the related Pledge Instruments and shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. Section 2.4 Mortgage Schedule.

Such examination may be made by the Purchaser at any time (which is reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and Company) before or after the related Closing Date or by any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans from the Purchaser, at any time after the Closing Date upon prior reasonable notice to the Company. The fact that the Purchaser or any prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Custodial Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchaser's (or any of its successor's) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided under this Agreement. The Company shall make the Retained Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser for examination at the Company's offices or such other location as shall otherwise be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Company, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company 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, and the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not waive a prepayment penalty except under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such prepayment penalty and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default; or (ii) the Company obtains a written Opinion of Counsel, which may be in-house counsel for the Company, opining that any prepayment penalty or charge is not legally enforceable in the circumstances under which the related Principal Prepayment occurs. In the event the Company waives any prepayment penalty, other than as set forth in (i) and (ii) above, the Company shall deposit the amount of any such prepayment penalty in the Custodial Account for distribution to the Purchaser on the next Remittance Date. The Company is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, in its own name, when the Company believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Purchaser and its successors and assigns. The Company will comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the MERS Mortgage Loans for as long as such Mortgage Loans are registered with MERS. The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Cooperative Loan a copy of the financing statements and shall file and such financing statements and continuation statements as necessary, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code applicable in the jurisdiction in which the related Cooperative Apartment is located, to perfect and protect the security interest and lien of the Purchaser. Section 4.2 Liquidation of Mortgage Loans. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.1 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Company shall take such action as (1) the Company would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (3) the Company shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.1 and remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for a period of 90 days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period, the Company shall commence foreclosure proceedings, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Company's intention to do so, and the Company shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within three (3) Business Days of receiving such notice. In the event the Purchaser objects to such foreclosure action, the Company shall not be required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 5.3, and the Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances shall terminate on the 90th day referred to above. In such connection, the Company shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration or preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that such preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5) or through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector. The cost for such inspection or review shall be borne by the Purchaser. Upon completion of the inspection or review, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser directs the Company to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Company, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof. In the event the Purchaser directs the Company not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof. Section 4.3 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Company shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall, in accordance with RESPA and applicable state law, take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. Section 4.4 Establishment of and Deposits to Custodial Account. The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan or a Letter of Credit separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the Purchaser of Residential Mortgage Loans serviced under the Second Amended and Restated Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2005 - P & I", or as otherwise directed in writing by the Purchaser or its assigns after the related Closing Date in connection with any Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction. The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Custodial Account. The Custodial Account shall at all times be insured to the fullest extent allowed by Applicable Law. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.5. The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account within one Business Day (or two Business Days in the case of the amounts described in clauses (3) through (5) below) of the Company's receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the Company and payments made by the Company after the related Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the related Cut-off Date: (1) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments; (2) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate; (3) all Liquidation Proceeds; (4) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 4.10 (other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14), Section 4.11 and Section 4.15; (5) all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.14; (6) any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.1, 5.1, 5.3, 6.1 or 6.2; (7) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.3, 3.3 or 6.2; (8) with respect to each Principal Prepayment an amount (to be paid by the Company out of its funds) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with the Principal Prepayment, equals one month's interest on the amount of principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate; (9) any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy; (10) any amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16; (11) an amount from the Buydown Account that when added to the Mortgagor's payment will equal the full monthly amount due under the related Mortgage Note; (12) an amount from the Subsidy Account that when added to the Mortgagor's payment will equal the full monthly amount due under the related Mortgage Note; and (13) with respect to a Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan, any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.25 of this Agreement in connection with a Letter of Credit. The foregoing requirements for deposit into the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.1, need not be deposited by the Company into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5. The Company shall reimburse the Custodial Account for any losses incurred as a result of the investment of amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account. Section 4.5 Permitted Withdrawals From Custodial Account. The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following purposes: (1) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.1; (2) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.3, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (2) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.3, 3.3 or 6.2, the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan; (3) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and for any unpaid Servicing Fees, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (3) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.3, 3.3 or 6.2, in which case the Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan; (4) to pay itself as servicing compensation any interest on funds deposited in the Custodial Account; (5) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred to the extent reimbursable pursuant to Section 8.1; (6) to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.16 related to any REO Property, it being understood that, in the case of any such expenditure or withdrawal related to a particular REO Property, the amount of such expenditure or withdrawal from the Custodial Account shall be limited to amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account with respect to the related REO Property; (7) to reimburse itself for any Servicing Advances or REO expenses after liquidation of the Mortgaged Property not otherwise reimbursed above; (8) to reimburse the trustee with respect to any Securitization Transaction for any unreimbursed Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances made by the Trustee, as applicable, the right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (8) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds of REO Dispositions, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, such trustee's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Company to reimbursement under (2) and (3), and prior to the rights of the Purchaser under (1); (9) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Company; and (10) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this Agreement. In the event that the Custodial Account is interest bearing, on each Remittance Date, the Company shall withdraw all interest earned on funds on deposit in the Custodial Account. The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for the purposes described in this Section 4.5. Section 4.6 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Account. The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, "Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the Purchaser under the Second Amended and Restated Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2005 and/or subsequent purchasers of Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors - T & I." The Escrow Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Escrow Account. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.7. The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two (2) Business Days of the Company's receipt, and retain therein: (1) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; (2) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and (3) all amounts representing proceeds of any PMI Policy. The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.7. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes. The Company shall reimburse the Escrow Account for any losses incurred as a result of the investment of amounts on deposit in the Escrow Account. Section 4.7 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account. Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Company only: (1) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage; (2) to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advances made by the Company pursuant to Section 4.8 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (3) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan; (4) for transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note; (5) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 4.14; (6) to pay to the Company, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account; (7) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow Account by the Company; (8) to apply the proceeds of PMI Policy as if such proceeds were payments on, or Liquidation Proceeds of, the related Mortgage Loan, as the case may be; (9) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement; and (10) to remit to Purchaser payments on account of Buydown Funds as applicable. Section 4.8 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments. Section 4.9 Protection of Accounts. The Company may transfer the Custodial Account, Buydown Account or Subsidy Account or the Escrow Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time, upon prior written notice to the Purchaser. Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) 100% the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property and (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application of the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance under the policy. In the event a hazard insurance policy shall be in danger of being terminated, or in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the Company shall notify the Purchaser and the related Mortgagor, and shall use its best efforts, as permitted by Applicable Law, to obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and materially similar in all respects to the original policy. In no event, however, shall a Mortgage Loan be without a hazard insurance policy at any time, subject only to Section 4.11 hereof. If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Company shall verify that the coverage required of the owner's association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then current Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac requirements, secure from the owner's association its agreement to notify the Company promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security. In the event that any Purchaser or the Company shall determine that the Mortgaged Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Company shall communicate and consult with the Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the Mortgagor's attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property. All policies required hereunder shall name the Company as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Company shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. Pursuant to Section 4.4, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Company's normal servicing procedures as specified in Section 4.4) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.5. Section 4.11 Maintenance of PMI Policy; Claims. With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a LTV in excess of 80% at the time of origination, the Company shall, without any cost to the Purchaser, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan as is required by the Underwriting Guidelines. The Company shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, at least until the LTV of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, or such amount as required by Applicable Law. In the event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated, the Company shall obtain from another insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated PMI Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a qualified insurer, the Company shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy for such reason. If the Company determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser and the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another qualified insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Company will maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect any LPMI Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is in existence or is obtained. The Company shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Subsection 6.1, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy, and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above. In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy, and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.6, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy or Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Escrow Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.7. Section 4.12 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance. In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10. The Company shall prepare and make any claims on the blanket policy as deemed necessary by the Company in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.5. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Company's funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to such Purchaser. Section 4.13 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Company shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans ("Company Employees"). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.13 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the amounts acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser. Section 4.14 Inspections. If any Mortgage Loan is more than 45 days delinquent, the Company or its agent shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as promptly as practicable after the 45th day of delinquency and shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Company shall keep a record of each such inspection and, upon request, shall provide the Purchaser with such information. Section 4.15 Restoration of Mortgaged Property. The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. For claims greater than $15,000, at a minimum the Company shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds: (i) the Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto; (ii) the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens; (iii) the Company shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and (iv) pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account. (v) If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser. Section 4.16 Claims. In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer in a timely fashion and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.4, any amounts collected by the Company under any guaranty shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.5. Section 4.17 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property. In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Company, or in the event the Company is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, or the perfection of the ownership or security interest of the Purchaser in such REO Property would be adversely effected, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Company from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the Purchaser. The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless (i) a REMIC election has not been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, and (ii) the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, (i) the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage (1) shall name the Company as mortgagee, and (2) shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement, but instead a separate participation agreement among the Company and Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage. The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above. Subject to 5 days' prior written notice to the Purchaser, at the address specified in Section 12.5, of its intent to do so, the disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account.

Section 4.18 Real Estate Owned Reports. Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.2, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous month and the Company's efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month.

The Subsidy Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Subsidy Account. Funds deposited in the Subsidy Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with this 4.22. (b) The Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Subsidy Account for the following purposes: (i) on or prior to each Remittance Date, to deposit in the Custodial Account in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.4(12); (ii) to transfer funds to another Qualified Depository in accordance with Section 4.9 hereof; (iii) to withdraw funds deposited in error; and (iv) to clear and terminate the Subsidy Account upon the termination of this Agreement. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company may employ the Escrow Account as the Subsidy Account to the extent that the Company can separately identify any Subsidy Funds deposited therein. (d) If the Mortgagor on a Subsidy Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Subsidy Period and the Mortgaged Property securing such Subsidy Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Company or the insurer under any related PMI Policy) the Company shall, on the Remittance Date following the date upon which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Disposition proceeds are received with respect to any such Subsidy Mortgage Loan, distribute to the Purchaser all remaining Subsidy Funds for such Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Subsidy Account. Pursuant to the terms of each Subsidy Agreement, any amounts distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Subsidy Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor on a Subsidy Mortgage Loan prepays such Mortgage Loan in it entirety during the related Subsidy Period, the Company shall be required to withdraw from the Subsidy Account any Subsidy Funds remaining in the Subsidy Account with respect to such Subsidy Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related Subsidy Agreement. If a principal prepayment by a Mortgagor on a Subsidy Mortgage Loan during the related Subsidy Period, together with any Subsidy Funds then remaining in the Subsidy Account related to such Subsidy Mortgage Loan, would result in a principal prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Subsidy Mortgage Loan, the Company shall distribute to the Purchaser on the Remittance Date occurring in the month immediately succeeding the month in which such Principal Prepayment is received, all Subsidy Funds related to such Mortgage Loan so remaining in the Subsidy Account, together with any amounts required to be deposited into the Custodial Account. Section 4.23 Establishment of and Deposits to Buydown Account.

The Buydown Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Buydown Account. Funds deposited in the Buydown Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with this 4.23.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company may employ the Escrow Account as the Buydown Account to the extent that the Company can separately identify any Buydown Funds deposited therein. If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the Mortgaged Property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Company or the insurer under any related PMI Policy) the Company shall, on the Remittance Date following the date upon which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Disposition proceeds are received with respect to any such Buydown Mortgage Loan, distribute to the Purchaser all remaining Buydown Funds for such Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Buydown Account. Pursuant to the terms of each Buydown Agreement, any amounts distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Buydown Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such Mortgage Loan in it entirety during the related Buydown Period, the Company shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account any Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown Account with respect to such Buydown Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related Buydown Agreement. If a principal prepayment by a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan during the related Buydown Period, together with any Buydown Funds then remaining in the Buydown Account related to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, would result in a principal prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company shall distribute to the Purchaser on the Remittance Date occurring in the month immediately succeeding the month in which such Principal Prepayment is received, all Buydown Funds related to such Mortgage Loan so remaining in the Buydown Account, together with any amounts required to be deposited into the Custodial Account.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall comply with all the requirements of any Letter of Credit so as to assure the full benefit of such Letter of Credit to the Purchaser. Section 4.25 Letter of Credit Draws. The Company shall take all steps necessary to make draws under any Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions thereof and shall draw on each Letter of Credit all amounts payable thereunder within the time frame required by the Letter of Credit or such shorter time within which the Company can effect such draw (not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days) of (i) the date the related Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan becomes 90 days or more delinquent and (ii) the receipt of notice of non-renewal from the Pledge Holder at any time prior to the date that all amounts owed under the related Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan are less than or equal to 80% of the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property. The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly in writing upon receipt of notice from the Pledge Holder of non-renewal of any Letter of Credit. Upon receipt of any amounts as a result of a draw on a Letter of Credit because of the non-renewal of such Letter of Credit or as a result of the Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan continuing in default for 90 or more days, the Company shall deposit such amounts in the Custodial Account and such amount shall be treated as a payment of principal. Section 4.26 Assignment of the Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the termination or transfer of the servicing rights and/or obligations of the Company pursuant to Articles X and XI hereof), the Company, as beneficiary under any Non-Assigned Letters of Credit, shall transfer and assign, at no cost to the Purchaser, each Non-Assigned Letter of Credit to the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions thereof within ten (10) days of such termination or transfer. In addition, the Company shall forward within one (1) Business Day of receipt any notice received of non-renewal of any Letter of Credit. Any funds received by the Company from draws on the Non-Assigned Letters of Credit after the Company is no longer the servicer hereunder shall be remitted by the Company to the successor servicer for deposit into the Custodial Account. Section 4.27 Pledge Holder Defaults. Upon a default under the Letter of Credit by the Pledge Holder, the Company shall take possession of the assets securing the Letter of Credit and shall deposit such assets or the proceeds thereof in the Custodial Account and apply them as a prepayment of the related Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan. If such default described in the prior sentence occurs at any time that the Company is no longer the servicer of the related Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, upon knowledge of such default or notice from the successor servicer of such default with respect to any Non-Assigned Letter of Credit forward such proceeds to the successor servicer for deposit into the Custodial Account. Section 4.28 Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

The Company shall cause any Subservicer used by the Company (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.28 and with Sections 6.4, 6.6, 9.1(g)(iii), 9.1(g)(v), 9.1(g)(vi) and 9.1(h) of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Company, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer under Section 9.1(g)(iv) of this Agreement. The Company shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.4 and any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 6.6 and any certification required to be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 6.6 as and when required to be delivered. (b) It shall not be necessary for the Company to seek the consent of the Purchaser or any Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Company shall promptly upon request provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor (or any designee of the Depositor, such as a master servicer or administrator) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Company or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph. 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 Company shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Company (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 6.6 and 9.1(f) of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Company.

ARTICLE V PAYMENTS TO PURCHASER Section 5.1 Remittances. On each Remittance Date the Company shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (a) all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the Determination Date (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.5), plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the Company is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.3, minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the applicable Principal Prepayment Period which amounts shall be remitted on the following Remittance Date, together with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment in accordance with Section 4.4(viii), minus (d) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the first day of the month of the Remittance Date, and (e) minus any amounts attributable to Buydown Funds relating to a future Due Period being held in the Custodial Account, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts. All cash flows from prepayment penalties shall be passed through to the Purchaser and shall not be waived by the Company, except pursuant to Section 4.1. With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the date on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each charge, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Company on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company. Section 5.2 Statements to Purchaser. Not later than the Remittance Advice Date, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser a Monthly Remittance Advice, including the information set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto, with a trial balance report attached thereto, as to the period ending on the last day of the preceding month, in a form to be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company. Section 5.3 Monthly Advances by Company. On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution an amount equal to all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the Determination Date immediately preceding such Remittance Date or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.1. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Company by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Purchaser required to be made on such Remittance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be permitted to make any advances from amounts held for future distribution, and instead shall be required to make all advances from its own funds, unless the Company, its parent, or their respective successors hereunder shall have a long-term credit rating of at least "A" by Fitch, Inc. (doing business as Fitch Ratings), "A" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and "A2" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the earlier of: (i) the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Remittance Date prior to the date the Mortgage Loan is converted to REO Property, provided however, that if requested by a Rating Agency in connection with Securitization Transaction, the Company shall be obligated to make such advances through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which cash is received in connection with the liquidation of REO Property; provided, however, that such obligation shall cease if the Company determines, in its sole reasonable opinion, that advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are non-recoverable by the Company from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, or otherwise with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. In the event that the Company determines that any such advances are non-recoverable, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a certificate signed by two officers of the Company evidencing such determination. ARTICLE VI GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES Section 6.1 Transfers of Mortgaged Property. The Company shall use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under Applicable Law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Company is unable under Applicable Law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an assumption fee is collected by the Company for entering into an assumption agreement the fee will be retained by the Company as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan, the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan nor any other material terms shall be changed without Purchaser's consent. To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Company shall inquire diligently into the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by Applicable Law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. Section 6.2 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Custodial Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in the Monthly Remittance Advice as provided in Section 5.2, and may request the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents. If such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. If the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser, the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within 2 Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12 insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. Section 6.3 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of the unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is received. The obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Monthly Payments. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided in Section 6.1, and late payment charges shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein. Section 6.4 Annual Statement as to Compliance. (i) The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser on or before February 28, 2006, an Officer's Certificate, stating that (x) a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement or similar agreements has been made under such officer's supervision, and (y) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by the Company to cure such default.

Except with respect to Securitization Transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2006, on or before February 28, of each year beginning February 28, 2006, the Company, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to each Purchaser to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the mortgage loans similar in nature and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of this or similar agreements have been complied with, and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. By providing the Purchaser a copy of a Uniform Single Attestation Program Report from their independent public accountant's on an annual basis, Company shall be considered to have fulfilled its obligations under this Section 6.5.

The Company acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (iv) above may rely on the certification provided by the Company pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission. Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 6.6(i) shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto delivered to the Purchaser concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or, in the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such appointment.

EXHIBIT D FORM OF MASTER OPINION OF COUNSEL Re: Sale of Mortgage Loans by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company Dear Sir/Madam: I am _____ of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and have acted as counsel to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Company"), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of the mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Master Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement (the "Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement") by and between the Company and Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (the "Purchaser"), dated as of November 1, 2005, which sale is in the form of whole Mortgage Loans. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement. I have examined the following documents: 1. the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement; 2. the Custodial Agreement; 3. the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and 4. such other documents, records and papers as I have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion. To the extent I have deemed necessary and proper, I have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents. Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that: 1. The Company is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States. 2. The Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments. 3. Each person who, as an officer or attorney-in-fact of the Company, signed (a) the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Custodial Agreement , and (c) any other document delivered prior hereto or on the date hereof in connection with the sale and servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement was, at the respective times of such signing and delivery, and is, as of the date hereof, duly elected or appointed, qualified and acting as such officer or attorney-in-fact, and the signatures of such persons appearing on such documents are their genuine signatures. 4. Each of the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of insolvency, liquidation, conservatorship and other similar laws administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation affecting the enforcement of contract obligations of insured banks and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Purchaser's ownership of the Mortgage Loans. 5. The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any and all documents by original or facsimile signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement and in order to execute the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages, and the original or facsimile signature of the officer at the Company executing the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company. 6. Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement; or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company. 7. Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, will conflict with or results in or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the Company, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound. 8. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my opinion, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement, and the Custodial Agreement, or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the terms of the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial Agreement. 9. For purposes of the foregoing, I have not regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings to be "threatened" unless the potential litigant or governmental authority has manifested to the legal department of the Company or an employee of the Company responsible for the receipt of process a present intention to initiate such proceedings; nor have I regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations or proceedings as including those that are conducted by state or federal authorities in connection with their routine regulatory activities. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee, apart from the rights to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Seller's Warranties and Servicing Agreement. 10. The form of endorsement that is to be used with respect to the Mortgage Loans is legally valid and sufficient to duly endorse the Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser. Upon the completion of the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes and the completion of the assignments of the Mortgages, and the recording thereof, the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the Custodian of the completed assignments of the Mortgages, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Custodian would be sufficient to permit the entity to which such Mortgage Note is initially endorsed at the Purchaser's direction, and to whom such assignment of Mortgages is initially assigned at the Purchaser's direction, to avail itself of all protection available under Applicable Law against the claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and would be sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company from being enforceable, such that in a properly presented and argued case under title 11, United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), in which the Company were the debtor, a bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over the Company would consider the transfer of the Mortgage Loans from the Company to the Purchaser to be a true sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Company to the Purchaser and not a secured loan by the Purchaser to the Company and, accordingly, the Mortgage Loans and the payments and other collections thereon (other than those at any given time that may be commingled with unrelated funds held by the Company) and the proceeds thereof transferred to the Purchaser by the Company in accordance with the Company's Warranties and Servicing Agreement would not be deemed property of the Company's estate for purposes of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code or be subject to the automatic stay provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date thereof. (d) The execution and delivery of this Assignment Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Assignor; neither the execution and delivery by the Assignor of this Assignment Agreement, nor the consummation by the Assignor of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance by the Assignor with the provisions thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of the governing documents of the Assignor or any law, governmental rule or regulation or any material judgment, decree or order binding on the Assignor or any of its properties, or any of the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument to which the Assignor is a party or by which it is bound. (e) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Assignor, threatened, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter that in the judgment of the Assignor will be determined adversely to the Assignor and will if determined adversely to the Assignor materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Assignment Agreement. (f) Except for the sale to the Assignee, the Assignor has not assigned or pledged any Mortgage Note or the related Mortgage or any interest or participation therein. (g) The Assignor has not satisfied, canceled, or subordinated in whole or in part, or rescinded the Mortgage, and the Assignor has not released the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has the Assignor executed an instrument that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination, or rescission. The Assignor has not released any Mortgagor, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement or other agreement approved by the related Federal Insurer, to the extent such approval was required. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Custodial Mortgage Files to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Assignor or the Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Assignment Agreement, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in Section 6 to repurchase a Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5. It is further understood and agreed that the Assignor shall be deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 5 with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters covered in this Section 5, by the Servicer in the Servicing Agreement (or any officer's certificate delivered pursuant thereto). It is understood and agreed that the Assignor has made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained in this Section 5, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee. 6. Repurchase of Mortgage Loans. Upon discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation, warranty, or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material respects within 60 days from the date on which it is notified of the breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor's obligation hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect, such cure or repurchase must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date. In the event the Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the Servicing Agreement that is substantially identical to a representation or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall first proceed against the Servicer. If the Servicer does not within 60 days after notification of the breach, take steps to cure such breach (which may include certifying to progress made and requesting an extension of the time to cure such breach, as permitted under the Servicing Agreement) or purchase, or substitute for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust. In such event, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the Assignee to enforce the obligations of the Servicer to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to enforce any provision of this Assignment Agreement, to oversee compliance hereof, or to take notice of any breach or default thereof. 7. Continuing Effect. Except as contemplated hereby, the Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 8. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 9. Notices. Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed conclusively to have been given if personally delivered at or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, and return receipt requested or transmitted by telex, telegraph or telecopier and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, to: (i) in the case of the Servicer, [_________________, ____________________] or such address as may hereafter be furnished by the Servicer; (ii) in the case of the Assignee, _______________, _______________, Attention: ________________, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Assignee, and (iii) in the case of the Assignor, __________________, Attention: _________________, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Assignor. 10. Counterparts.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the Assignee, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; (c) The Company shall establish a Custodial Account and an Escrow Account under the Servicing Agreement in favor of the Trust with respect to the Mortgage Loans separate from the Custodial Account and Escrow Account previously established under the Servicing Agreement in favor of the Assignor; (d) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the consummation by it of the transaction contemplated hereby; (e) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is likely to result in any material adverse change in the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, and the Company is solvent; (f) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.

EXHIBIT X INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT (Multicurrency--Cross Border) ISDA(R) International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. MASTER AGREEMENT dated as of April 27, 2006 GOLDMAN SACHS MITSUI MARINE and GSAMP TRUST 2006-FM1 DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS, L.P. have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a "Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions. Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: 1. Interpretation (a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement. (b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purposes of the relevant Transaction. (c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions. 2. Obligations (a) General Conditions. (i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement. (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement. (b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change. (c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:-- (i) in the same currency; and (ii) in respect of the same Transaction, by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount. The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries. (d) Deduction or Withholding for Tax. (i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party ("X") will:-- (1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement; (2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y; (3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and (4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:-- (A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or (B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law. (ii) Liability. If:-- (1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4); (2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and (3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X, then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)). (e) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement. 3. Representations Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that:-- (a) Basic Representations.

Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets; (iv)Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and (v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)). (b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party. (c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document. (d) Accuracy of Specified Information.

Events of Default and Termination Events (a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an "Event of Default") with respect to such party:-- (i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the party; (ii)Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the party; (iii) Credit Support Default.

A representation (other than a representation under Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated; (v) Default under Specified Transaction.

The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party:-- (1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or (viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:-- (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or (2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement. (b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:-- (i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party):-- (1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or (2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction; (ii)Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)); (iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii); (iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or (v) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation). (c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default. 6. Early Termination (a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(l), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8). (b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event. (i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. (ii)Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(l) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist. If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i). Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed. (iii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)( 1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event. (iv)Right to Terminate. If:-- (1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or (2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party, either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions. (c) Effect of Designation. (i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing. (ii)Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e). (d) Calculations. (i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation. (ii)Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. (e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method, either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off. (i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default:-- (1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. (2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. (3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party. (4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party. (ii)Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:-- (1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions. (2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:-- (A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and (B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss ("Y"). If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y. (iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii). (iv)Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses. 7. Transfer Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that: -- (a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and (b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e). Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void. 8. Contractual Currency (a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess. (b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party. The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency. (c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement. (d) Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made. 9. Miscellaneous (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto. (b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system. (c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction. (d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law. (e) Counterparts and Confirmations. (i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original. (ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation. (f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. (g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement. 10. Offices; Multibranch Parties (a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into. (b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party. (c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation. 11. Expenses A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection. 12. Notices (a) Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this Agreement may be given in any manner set forth below (except that a notice or other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system) to the address or number or in accordance with the electronic messaging system details provided (see the Schedule) and will be deemed effective as indicated:-- (i) if in writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is delivered; (ii)if sent by telex, on the date the recipient's answerback is received; (iii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is received by a responsible employee of the recipient in legible form (it being agreed that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and will not be met by a transmission report generated by the sender's facsimile machine); (iv)if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; or (v) if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic message is received, unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day. (b) Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications are to be given to it. 13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction (a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law specified in the Schedule. (b) Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably:-- (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York; and (ii)waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or reenactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction. (c) Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any reason any party's Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. (d) Waiver of Immunities. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings. 14.

"law" includes any treaty, law, rule or regulation (as modified, in the case of tax matters, by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority) and "lawful" and "unlawful" will be construed accordingly. "Local Business Day" means, subject to the Schedule, a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) (a) in relation to any obligation under Section 2(a)(i), in the place(s) specified in the relevant Confirmation or, if not so specified, as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing or determined pursuant to provisions contained, or incorporated by reference, in this Agreement, (b) in relation to any other payment, in the place where the relevant account is located and, if different, in the principal financial centre, if any, of the currency of such payment, (c) in relation to any notice or other communication, including notice contemplated under Section 5(a)(i), in the city specified in the address for notice provided by the recipient and, in the case of a notice contemplated by Section 2(b), in the place where the relevant new account is to be located and (d) in relation to Section 5(a)(v)(2), in the relevant locations for performance with respect to such Specified Transaction. "Loss" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party's legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not) determine its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets. "Market Quotation" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values.

Party B shall be entitled to (A)(1) in case of an Additional Termination Event described in Part 5(n)(iii)(I), designate a date that is not earlier than the expiration of the 30 day period referred to in Part 5(n)(iii)(I) as an Early Termination Date in respect of all transactions under this Agreement by giving notice to Party A at least 10 days prior to the date so designated (which notice may be given prior to the expiration of such 30 day period) and (2) in case of an Additional Termination Event described in this Part 5(n)(iii)(II), immediately designate an Early Termination Date, in respect of all transactions under this Agreement by giving notice to Party A and (B) no later than the respective dates specified in clause (A)(1) and (A)(2), transfer the rights and obligations of Party A hereunder to a counterparty that satisfies the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. In connection with a transfer of this Agreement as described in this Part 5(n)(iii), Party A shall, at its sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a replacement counterparty. In addition, if Party A pursues any of the alternative actions contemplated in paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (D) of Part 5(n)(iii)(I) above, it shall do so at its sole cost and expense. As used herein, "Required Hedge Counterparty Rating" means, with respect to a counterparty or entity guaranteeing the obligations of such counterparty, (x) either (i) if such counterparty or entity has only a long-term rating by Moody's, a long-term senior, unsecured debt obligation rating, financial program rating or other similar rating (as the case may be, the "Long-Term rating") of at least "Aa3" by Moody's and if rated "Aa3" by Moody's is not on negative credit watch by Moody's or (ii) if such counterparty or entity has a Long-Term Rating and a short-term rating by Moody's, a Long-Term Rating of at least "A1" by Moody's and a short-term rating of "P-1" by Moody's and, in each case, such rating is not on negative credit watch by Moody's and (y) (i) a short-term rating of at least "A-1" by S&P or (ii) if such counterparty or entity does not have a short-term rating by S&P, a Long-Term Rating of at least "A+" by S&P. For the purposes of determining the Settlement Amount with respect to the designation of an Early Termination Date arising from the Additional Termination Event specified in Party 5(n)(iii), both Party A and Party B shall be Affected Parties. If the Settlement Amount calculated pursuant to this subclause (iii) is an amount owing by Party B to Party A, then such payment shall be a Swap Termination Payment payable by Party B to Party A in accordance with the priority of payments described in the Trust Agreement; provided, however, that (a) if Party A does not after the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts cause any of the conditions specified in Part 5(n)(iii)(I)(A) to (D) to be satisfied, Party B shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a replacement Transaction(s) with a counterparty acceptable to the Rating Agencies, in respect of the Affected Transaction(s) relating to the Additional Termination Event; and (b) where multiple quotations are available such replacement Transaction(s) shall be entered into based on the quoted price(s) that would result in the largest payment made to Party B by the replacement counterparty (it being understood that Party A may be permitted to actively solicit and obtain such quotations on behalf of Party B); and (c) to the extent that payments are received by Party B as a result of entering into such replacement Transaction(s), then Party A shall have first priority as to such payments versus all other creditors of Party B and Party B shall pay the lesser of (x) the amount so received and (y) the Swap Termination Payment to the extent not already paid by Party B over to Party A immediately upon receipt. As used herein, "Exposure" means, as of any date of determination, the amount, if any, that would be payable to Party B by Party A under this Agreement if an Early Termination Date were to occur as of such date of determination as a result of a Termination Event, Party A were the sole Affected Party, all Transactions were terminated in connection with such Early Termination Date and (solely for purposes of determining Exposure) the amount of such payment were calculated using Market Quotation. For any Additional Termination Event, the date that Party A or Party B, as the case may be, specifies in its notice of its election to terminate shall be the Early Termination Date for the Transactions; provided, that solely in the case of an Additional Termination Event described in subclause (ii) above, the Early Termination Date shall be no earlier than the 3rd Business Day preceding the Redemption Date and no later than the Redemption Date. (o) Indemnifiable Tax. The definition of "Indemnifiable Tax" in Section 14 is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof: Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Indemnifiable Tax" also means any Tax imposed in respect of a payment under this Agreement by reason of a Change in Tax Law by a government or taxing authority of a Relevant Jurisdiction of the party making such payment, unless the other party is incorporated, organized, managed and controlled, or considered to have its seat in such jurisdiction, or is acting for purposes of this Agreement through a branch or office located in such jurisdiction. (p) Limited Recourse; Non-petition. Party A agrees that the obligations of Party B hereunder are limited recourse obligations payable solely from the assets of Party B, and due to the extent funds are available for the payment thereof in accordance with the priority of payments described in the Trust Agreement. Party A agrees that it will not, prior to the date which is at least one year and one day or, if longer, the then applicable preference period following the payment in full of all the Certificates issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the expiration of all applicable preference periods under Title 11 of the United States Code or other applicable law relating to any such payment, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause Party B to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case (whether voluntary or involuntary) against Party B under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of Party B or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of Party B. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Party A from submitting a claim, or proof of claim, in any proceeding or process instituted by or against Party B by any person other than Party A or its Affiliates. Party A and Party B agree that this Part 5(p) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. (q) Trustee Capacity. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that insofar as this Agreement is executed by the Trustee (i) this Agreement is executed and delivered by Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee under the Trust Agreement in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred to and vested in it thereunder and (ii) under no circumstances shall Deutsche Bank National Trust Company in its individual capacity be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses or be personally liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken under this Agreement on behalf of Party B or any assignee. (r) Additional Party A Covenant. Following a failure to satisfy the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating in accordance with Part 5(n)(iii)(I), Party A shall take the actions described in accordance with Part 5(n)(iii)(I)(A), (B), (C) or (D). Following a failure to satisfy the rating requirements set forth in Part 5(n)(iii)(II), Party A shall take the actions described in accordance with Part 5(n)(iii)(II). (s) Agreements: Furnish Specified Information. Section 4(a) is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraph: Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(a), the parties agree that, pursuant to the terms of the Power of Attorney with respect to Party A referred to in Part 3(b) of this Schedule, any one or more of the officers of Party A's general partner who has been designated as an agent and attorney in fact of Party A will so deliver to Party B or such government or taxing authority the specified or requested forms, documents, or certificates. (t) Confirmations. Transactions shall be promptly confirmed by the parties by Confirmations exchanged by mail, telex, facsimile or other electronic means. Where a Transaction is confirmed by means of an electronic messaging system that the parties have elected to use to confirm such Transaction (i) such confirmation will constitute a "Confirmation" as referred to in this Agreement even where not so specified in the confirmation and (ii) such Confirmation will supplement, form part of, and be subject to this Agreement and all provisions in this Agreement will govern the Confirmation except as modified therein. (u) Tax Documentation. Section 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding prior to the existing text: "upon the earlier of learning that any such form or document is required or" (v) Inconsistency-Trade Call. In the event of any inconsistency between a telephone conversation, including a trade call and a Confirmation signed by both parties, the Confirmation shall govern. (w) Condition Precedent. The condition precedent in Section 2(a)(iii)(1) does not apply to a payment and delivery owing by a party if the other party shall have satisfied in full all its payment or delivery obligations under Section 2(a)(i) and shall at the relevant time have no future payment or delivery obligations, whether absolute or contingent, under Section 2(a)(i). (x) Definitions. This Agreement shall be subject to the 2000 Definitions (the "2000 Definitions") as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. The provisions of the 2000 Definitions are incorporated by reference in and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement, except that all references in the 2000 Definitions to a "Swap Transaction" shall be deemed references to a "Transaction" for the purposes of this Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein (or in the 2000 Definitions) shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Trust Agreement referred to in Part 3(b). If in relation to any Transaction there is any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, any Confirmation and any other definitions published by ISDA that are incorporated into any Confirmation, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) such Confirmation (without reference to any definitions or provisions incorporated therein); (ii) the Trust Agreement; (iii) this Agreement; (iv) such other definitions; and (v) the 2000 Definitions. (y) Amendments. Section 9(b) is hereby amended as follows: (i) by inserting the following phrase immediately prior to the period at the end of the sentence: "and the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied"; and (ii) by adding the following text thereto immediately following the first sentence: "Amendments to this Agreement or the Schedule may not be effected in a Confirmation." (z) "Rating Agency Condition" means, with respect to any action to which a Rating Agency Condition applies, that each rating agency then rating the Certificates shall have been given ten days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to each such rating agency) prior notice of that action and that each such rating agency shall have notified the Trustee in writing that such action will not result in a reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Certificates that it maintains.

These assignments shall occur on the day the Assignor and Assignee agree to such assignment and provide written or oral notification of the effective date of assignment to the relevant constant party, or, in the case of a simultaneous double assignment, the other assignor and/or assignee, as appropriate (the "Constant Party") (each such day hereinafter referred to as an "Assignment Date").

(b) Assignee accepts such sale, assignment and transfer and assumes and agrees to perform each and every obligation of Assignor arising and to be performed under the Transaction after the Assignment Date, with the same force and effect as if Assignee had been a party to the Transaction originally; it being understood and agreed that, with respect to the Trustee as Assignee, the Trustee is an assignee solely by reason of its capacity as trustee (and not in its individual capacity) and the Trustee in its individual capacity shall have no obligation or liability for payment of any indebtedness or expenses and shall not be personally liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken hereunder.

(g) Any additional assignments of this Transaction to a party other than an Assignee shall require the consent of GSCM or GSMMDP, as the case may be, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no additional assignments of this Transaction to a party other than an Assignee shall be made, and GSCM or GSMMDP, as the case may be, shall not consent to such additional assignments of this Transaction until written confirmation of consent is received from the rating agencies that have rated the Certificates that such assignment will not result in a withdrawal or downgrade of the rating of the Certificates. Furthermore, no amendment of this Confirmation by an Assignee or other permitted assign shall be made, and GSCM or GSMMDP, as the case may be, shall not consent to such amendment of this Confirmation, until written confirmation from the rating agency is received that it has rated the Certificates and such amendment will not result in a withdrawal or downgrade of the rating of the Certificates. B. Limited Recourse; Non-Petition Provision: To the extent GSAMP or the Trustee is a counterparty to GSMMDP under the terms of this Transaction, the obligations of GSAMP hereunder shall be limited recourse obligations and GSMMDP agrees that it will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all the Certificates (as defined in the Goldman, Sachs & Co.
