However, in the event that the Underlying Securities are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Underlying Securities, then it is intended that (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Grantor Trust Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Underlying Securities, (2) all amounts payable on the Underlying Securities in accordance with the terms thereof and (3) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Grantor Trust Trustee or any agent of the Grantor Trust Trustee of such items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Grantor Trust Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. It is also intended that the Trust be classified for federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust under Subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, of which the Grantor Trust Certificateholders are owners, rather than a partnership, an association taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool. The powers granted and obligations undertaken in this Agreement shall be construed so as to further such intent.

The Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee, at the Depositor’s or the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholders’ direction, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be determined to be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Underlying Securities, and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

Section 2.02. Acceptance of Trust Fund by Grantor Trust Trustee; Initial Issuance of Grantor Trust Certificates.

The Grantor Trust Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Underlying Agreement and the receipt by it and the transfer, delivery and assignment to it of the Underlying Securities, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and the assignment to it of all other assets included in the Trust Fund and declares that it holds and will hold the Underlying Securities and all other assets included in the Trust Fund in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Grantor Trust Certificateholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Concurrently with such transfer, delivery and assignment and in exchange therefor, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, the Grantor Trust Trustee has executed and caused to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Grantor Trust Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.

Until the Trust Fund is terminated in accordance with Section 7.01, except as provided herein, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Underlying Securities or any other asset constituting the Trust Fund or permit the Underlying Securities or any other asset constituting the Trust Fund to be subjected to any lien, claim or encumbrance arising by, through or under the Grantor Trust Trustee or any person claiming by, through or under the Grantor Trust Trustee.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES;

PAYMENTS AND REPORTS TO GRANTOR TRUST CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

Section 3.01. Administration of the Trust Fund and the Underlying Security.

If at any time the Grantor Trust Trustee, as a holder of the Underlying Securities, is requested in such capacity, whether by a Grantor Trust Certificateholder, a holder of a certificate of the Underlying Series or a party to the Underlying Agreement or any other Person, to take any action or to give any consent, approval or waiver, including, without limitation, in connection with an amendment of the Underlying Agreement, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall promptly notify all of the Holders of Grantor Trust Certificates and the Depositor of such request and of its planned course of action with respect thereto and shall, in its capacity as a holder of the Underlying Securities, take such action in connection with the exercise and/or enforcement of any rights and/or remedies available to it in such capacity with respect to such request, as the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholder of the Grantor Trust Certificates shall direct in writing.

Section 3.02. Collection of Monies.

(a) In connection with its receipt of any distribution on the Underlying Securities on any Underlying Security Distribution Date, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall review the related Underlying Distribution Date Statement and shall confirm that the aggregate amount of such distribution received by it with respect to the Underlying Securities is consistent with the Underlying Distribution Date Statements (it being understood that the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and correctness of the Underlying Distribution Date Statements).

(b) If the Grantor Trust Trustee receives a Notice of Final Distribution in respect of any Underlying Security, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall present and surrender the related Underlying Security which is in certificated form for final payment thereon, if required, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underlying Agreement and such notice. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall promptly deposit in the Certificate Account the final distribution received upon presentation and surrender of such Underlying Security for distribution in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof on the next succeeding Distribution Date for the Grantor Trust Certificates.

Section 3.03. Establishment of the Certificate Account; Deposits Therein.

(a) The Grantor Trust Trustee, for the benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain one or more interest bearing trust accounts (collectively, the “Certificate Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account, entitled “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as grantor trust trustee for the registered Holders of Bear Stearns Structured Products Inc. Trust 2007-R3, Grantor Trust Certificates, Series 2007-R3,” held in trust by the Grantor Trust Trustee for the benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders with respect to the portion of such accounts in the Trust Fund. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall cause to be deposited directly into the Certificate Account all distributions received on the Underlying Securities by the Grantor Trust Trustee, from whatever source, and all amounts received by it representing payment of a Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 2.03(c), subsequent to the Closing Date. The Certificate Account is initially located at the Grantor Trust Trustee. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall give notice to the Depositor and to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders of any new location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof.

(b) In the event that payments in respect of the Underlying Securities are received by the Grantor Trust Trustee prior to the related Distribution Date, the Grantor Trust Trustee may invest such funds deposited in the Certificate Account in one or more Permitted Investments held in the name of the Grantor Trust Trustee and shall receive as compensation, any interest or investment income earned on such Permitted Investments, which may be withdrawn by the Grantor Trust Trustee on each Distribution Date and shall not constitute Available Funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Permitted Investment may mature later than such related Distribution Date and no such investment shall be sold prior to its maturity date. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Grantor Trust Trustee immediately as realized out of its own funds.

(c) The Depositor shall cause all distributions received on the Underlying Securities by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date to be remitted promptly to the Grantor Trust Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account.

Section 3.04. Permitted Withdrawals From the Certificate Account.

The Grantor Trust Trustee may from time to time withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make distributions in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 3.05;

(ii) to pay to the Person entitled thereto any amount deposited in the Certificate Account in error;

(iii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and

(iv) to pay itself, as additional compensation, the net reinvestment income permitted to be paid to it as provided in Section 3.03(b).

On each Distribution Date, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall withdraw all funds from the Certificate Account and shall use such funds withdrawn from the Certificate Account only for the purposes described in this Section 3.04 and in Section 3.05.

Section 3.05. Distributions.

(a) On each Distribution Date, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall withdraw amounts from the Certificate Account and the Reserve Account representing the Available Funds and, if applicable, the Reserve Account Distribution Amount, for such Distribution Date and apply them to pay the Grantor Trust Certificates in the following manner and order of priority:

(i) from Available Funds received on the Underlying Securities, if any, and the Reserve Account Distribution Amounts with respect to the first and second Distribution Dates, to the Holders of the Class A-1 Grantor Trust Certificates, as a distribution of interest, the Interest Distribution Amount for the Class A-1 Grantor Trust Certificates for such Distribution Date; and

(ii) from remaining Available Funds received on the Underlying Securities, if any, to the Holders of the Class A-1 Grantor Trust Certificates, as distributions of principal, until the Current Principal Amount of the Class A-1 Grantor Trust Certificates has been reduced to zero.

(b) With respect to the second Distribution Date, the Reserve Account Deposit Portion B remaining following distributions on such Distribution Date will be distributed to the Class A-1 Grantor Trust Certificates on such Distribution Date as interest.

(c) All distributions made to Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates pursuant to Sections 3.05(a) and (b) on each Distribution Date shall be allocated prorata among the outstanding Grantor Trust Certificates based upon their respective Percentage Interests and, except in the case of the final distribution to the Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates, shall be made to the Holders of record on the related Record Date. Distributions to any Grantor Trust Certificateholder on any Distribution Date shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Grantor Trust Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall have so notified the Grantor Trust Trustee in writing (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all future Distribution Dates) no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (or, in the case of the initial Distribution Date, no later than the related Record Date) and is the registered owner of Grantor Trust Certificates with an aggregate initial Current Principal Amount of not less than $1,000,000, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Grantor Trust Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. Final distribution to each Grantor Trust Certificateholder will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Grantor Trust Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified in the notice to Grantor Trust Certificateholders of such final distribution.

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

(e) Realized Losses. On any Distribution Date, following distributions to be made on that Distribution Date, any Realized Losses (as defined in the Underlying Agreement) allocated to the Underlying Securities shall be allocated to the Class A-1 Grantor Trust Certificates, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero. Realized Losses shall be allocated prorata among the outstanding Grantor Trust Certificates based upon their respective Percentage Interests.

Section 3.06. Statements to Grantor Trust Certificateholders.

On each Distribution Date, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall prepare and make available to each Grantor Trust Certificateholder, the Depositor and the Rating Agency, on its website, a statement with respect to such Distribution Date, stating:

(i) the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, including the cash flows received and the sources thereof for distributions;

(ii) the Interest Distribution Amount and the Reserve Account Distribution Amount and the portion thereof, if any, provided by the Yield Maintenance Agreement with respect to the second Distribution Date only, and the amount with respect to principal paid on the Grantor Trust Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date;

(iii) the Current Principal Amount of the Grantor Trust Certificates before and after applying payments on such Distribution Date;

(iv) the applicable record dates, accrual dates and actual Distribution Dates for the period;

(v) the Pass-Through Rate on the Grantor Trust Certificates for such Distribution Date; and

(vi) the interest rate on the Underlying Securities for such Distribution Date.

In the case of the information furnished pursuant to clause (ii) above, the amounts shall also be expressed as a dollar amount per $100,000 of principal face amount.

The Grantor Trust Trustee may make available each month, to any interested party, the monthly statement to Grantor Trust Certificateholders via the Grantor Trust Trustee’s website initially located at www.ctslink.com. Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Grantor Trust Trustee’s customer service desk at ###-###-####. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the Grantor Trust Trustee’s customer service desk and indicating such. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall have the right to change the way such reports are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the parties, and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all parties regarding any such change.

In addition, the Grantor Trust Trustee promptly will furnish to the Depositor, and upon the written request of a Grantor Trust Certificateholder, to such Grantor Trust Certificateholder, copies of any written notices, statements, reports or other written communications, received by the Grantor Trust Trustee in respect of the Underlying Securities.

The Grantor Trust Trustee shall be responsible for preparing, at its own expense, executing and filing in a timely manner, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the Trust Fund as a grantor trust under the Code, federal income tax and information returns and reports with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and income tax and information returns and reports of any other state or local taxing authority as are required to be so filed, using a calendar year as the taxable year of the Trust on an accrual basis including the information reportable under the WHFIT Regulations as provided below. The Depositor and each Holder of the Grantor Trust Certificates shall provide the Grantor Trust Trustee, no later than December 31, 2007 (to the extent then ascertainable) and from time to time thereafter, all information deemed necessary and requested by the Grantor Trust Trustee to fulfill its obligations under this paragraph and the paragraphs below. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall furnish to each Grantor Trust Certificateholder at the time required by law such information reports or returns as are required by applicable federal, state or local law with respect to the Trust Fund to enable Grantor Trust Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns and will furnish comparable information to the IRS and other taxing authorities as and when required by law to do so.

The parties hereto and each Holder of a Grantor Trust Certificate, by acceptance of its interest in such Grantor Trust Certificate, agree to treat the Trust Fund as a WHFIT that is a NMWHFIT. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary and requested by the Grantor Trust Trustee to enable the Grantor Trust Trustee to do so is provided to the Grantor Trust Trustee on a timely basis. Each Holder of Grantor Trust Certificates and the Depositor shall provide (to the extent known by the Depositor) the Grantor Trust Trustee with information identifying any Holders of Grantor Trust Certificates that are “middlemen” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of the incorrect determination of the status of the Trust Fund as a WHFIT.

The Grantor Trust Trustee, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall be under no obligation to determine whether a Holder of a Grantor Trust Certificate uses the cash or accrual method. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall make available WHFIT information to the Holders of Grantor Trust Certificates annually in accordance with the WHFIT Regulations. In addition, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Holder of Grantor Trust Certificates, unless requested by any such Holder.

The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Grantor Trust Trustee as required in the second preceding paragraph, (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Grantor Trust Trustee or (iii) the inability of the Grantor Trust Trustee, after good faith efforts, to alter its existing information reporting systems to capture information necessary to fully account for any updates and revisions to the WHFIT Regulations for the 2007 calendar year. Each Holder of a Grantor Trust Certificate, by acceptance of its interest in such Grantor Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed to provide, and shall so provide, the Grantor Trust Trustee with information regarding any sale of such Grantor Trust Certificate, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Grantor Trust Trustee will assume there is no secondary market trading of interests in the Trust Fund for purposes of the WHFIT Regulations.

To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Grantor Trust Certificates. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of such missing CUSIP. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

The Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to additional reasonable compensation for changes in reporting required in respect of the WHFIT Regulations that arise as a result of a change in the WHFIT Regulations or a change in interpretation of the WHFIT Regulations by the IRS or the Depositor or its counsel, in each case, following the Closing Date, if such change requires, in the Grantor Trust Trustee’s sole discretion, a material increase in the Grantor Trust Trustee’s reporting obligations under the WHFIT Regulations in respect of the Trust Fund.

Section 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information.

The Grantor Trust Trustee shall provide to the Depositor access to all reports, documents and records maintained by the Grantor Trust Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder, such access being afforded without charge but only upon three (3) Business Days’ written request and during normal business hours at offices designated by the Grantor Trust Trustee.

Section 3.08. Calculation of Distribution Amounts.

All calculations of Available Funds, the Interest Distribution Amount, the Reserve Account Distribution Amount and amounts payable with respect to principal for any Distribution Date shall be performed by the Grantor Trust Trustee in reliance on the information provided to it in the Underlying Distribution Date Statements.

Section 3.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a) The Grantor Trust Trustee shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Depositor not later than March 15th of each calendar year in which a Form 10-K is required to be filed for the Trust beginning in 2008, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to the signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Grantor Trust Trustee during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Grantor Trust Trustee has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year or applicable portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of the cure provisions thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use.

(b) Failure of the Grantor Trust Trustee to comply with this Section 3.09 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall, upon written notice from the Depositor, constitute a default, and, in addition to whatever rights the Depositor may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, the Depositor may upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Grantor Trust Trustee under this Agreement and in and to the Underlying Securities and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Grantor Trust Trustee for the same (but subject to the Grantor Trust Trustee’s right to reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Section 3.10. Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.

Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Grantor Trust Trustee (the “Attesting Party”) shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Depositor on or before March 15th of each calendar year in which a report on Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Commission with respect to the Grantor Trust Certificates, beginning in 2008, a report regarding the Attesting Party’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it during the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB, must contain the following:

(a) A statement by an authorized officer of the Attesting Party of its authority and responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Attesting Party;

(b) A statement by an authorized officer that the Attesting Party used the Servicing Criteria identified in Exhibit C hereto to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Attesting Party;

(c) An assessment by such officer of the Attesting Party’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities the Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Attesting Party, that are backed by the same asset type as those backing the Underlying Securities;

(d) A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Attesting Party’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and

(e) A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Attesting Party, which statement shall be based on the activities the Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Attesting Party, that are backed by the same asset type as those backing the Grantor Trust Certificates.

Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Attesting Party.

On or before March 15th of each calendar year in which a report on Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Commission with respect to the Grantor Trust Certificates, beginning in 2008, the Attesting Party shall furnish to the Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Attesting Party, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Each party to the Underlying Series that is determined by the Depositor to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB will be required to provide to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor an assessment of compliance and attestation report pursuant to the Underlying Agreement. The Depositor, in its capacity as depositor for the Underlying Series, shall forward any assessment of compliance and attestation report to the Grantor Trust Trustee to the extent not otherwise received by the Grantor Trust Trustee (pursuant to the Underlying Agreement in its capacity as master servicer and securities administrator of the Underlying Series) and any other assessment of compliance and attestation report required to be filed under the related Form 10-K no later than two Business Days following March 15th in any calendar year in which a Form 10-K is required to be filed by the Trust. The Depositor will identify in writing by no later than January 30th of each year for which a Form 10-K is required to be filed for the Trust and provide any assessment of compliance and attestation report to the Grantor Trust Trustee required to be included in any Form 10-K to the extent not otherwise received by the Grantor Trust Trustee as set forth in the previous sentence and cause such assessment of compliance and attestation reports that are required to be included in such Form 10-K to be incorporated by reference.

The Depositor shall confirm that each Assessment of Compliance delivered to it addresses all of the relevant Servicing Criteria and notify the Grantor Trust Trustee of any exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

Failure of the Grantor Trust Trustee to comply with this Section 3.10 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall, upon written notice from the Depositor, constitute a default and the Depositor shall, in addition to whatever rights the Depositor may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Grantor Trust Trustee under this Agreement and in and to the Underlying Securities and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Grantor Trust Trustee for the same (but subject to the Grantor Trust Trustee’s right to reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Section 3.11. Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a) (i) (A) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, for so long as the Trust is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards, prepare and file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”), a Distribution Report on Form 10-D, signed by the Depositor, with a copy of the monthly statement to be furnished by the Grantor Trust Trustee to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof, including any monthly statement with respect to the Underlying Series, and the Depositor shall incorporate by reference the related monthly statement included in the Form 10-D filed for the Underlying Series; provided that, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have received no later than five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution Date, all information required to be provided to the Grantor Trust Trustee as described in clause (a)(iv) below. Any disclosure that is in addition to the monthly statement and that is required to be included on Form 10-D, including any information that is otherwise required to be provided or incorporated by reference as instructed by the Depositor (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”), shall be, pursuant to the paragraph (B) below, reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit D to the Grantor Trust Trustee, or otherwise provided by the Depositor with respect to any information required to be provided pursuant to Item 1117 or Item 1119 of Regulation AB, and the Depositor and approved for inclusion by the Depositor. The Grantor Trust Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the Grantor Trust Trustee is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit D) and approval.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Underlying Agreement to the contrary, the Grantor Trust Trustee, as master servicer and securities administrator for the Underlying Series, shall aggregate and make available to the Depositor all information provided pursuant to Item 1121 of Regulation AB with respect to the Underlying Series for purposes of including such information in each Form 10-D that is required to be filed under this Agreement.

(B) Within five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) the parties set forth in Exhibit D and the parties related to the Underlying Series and required to provide information pursuant to the Underlying Agreement shall be required to provide, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) below, to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable and (ii) the Depositor shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. To the extent not otherwise required under the Underlying Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Grantor Trust Trustee any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than any information required under Item 1121 of Regulation AB) for any servicer or trustee of the Underlying Series. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Grantor Trust Trustee in connection with including any Form 10-D Disclosure Information on Form 10-D pursuant to this Section.

(C) After preparing the Form 10-D, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review. Within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date (provided that, the Grantor Trust Trustee forwards a copy of the Form 10-D no later than the 10th calendar after the Distribution Date), the Depositor shall notify the Grantor Trust Trustee in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Grantor Trust Trustee may proceed with the filing of the Form 10-D. No later than the 13th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, a duly authorized 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 Grantor Trust Trustee. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.11(a)(v). Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Grantor Trust Trustee. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Grantor Trust Trustee of its duties under Sections 3.11(a)(i) and (v) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under such Sections. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Grantor Trust Trustee’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Each of Form 10-D and Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to the Grantor Trust Trustee that the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding twelve (12) months and it has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Grantor Trust Trustee in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D and no later than March 15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to the questions should be “no.” The Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report.

(ii) (A) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), for so long as the Trust is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall prepare and file, at the direction of the Depositor, on behalf of the Trust, any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act; provided that, the Depositor shall prepare and file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Grantor Trust Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K, including information as otherwise required to be provided or incorporated by reference as instructed by the Depositor (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”), shall be, pursuant to the paragraph immediately below, reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit D and the parties related to the Underlying Series pursuant to the Underlying Agreement to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor and approved by the Depositor, and the Grantor Trust Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 8-K Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the Grantor Trust Trustee is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit D) and approval. To the extent not otherwise required under the Underlying Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Grantor Trust Trustee, by no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the Reportable Event, any Additional Form 8-K Disclosure for any servicer or trustee of the Underlying Series required to be filed on Form 8-K.

(B) For so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the close of business New York City time on the second (2nd) Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the parties set forth in Exhibit D and parties related to the Underlying Series and required to provide information pursuant to the Underlying Agreement shall be required pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) below to provide to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable, and (ii) the Depositor shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Grantor Trust Trustee in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this Section.

(C) After preparing the Form 8-K, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review no later than noon New York time on the third (3rd) Business Day after the Reportable Event. No later than the close of business New York City time on the third (3rd) Business Day after the Reportable Event, a duly authorized 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 Grantor Trust Trustee. Promptly, but no later than the close of business on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Depositor shall notify the Grantor Trust Trustee in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 8-K filed by the Grantor Trust Trustee. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Grantor Trust Trustee may proceed with the filing of the Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.11(a)(v). Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K filed by the Grantor Trust Trustee. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Grantor Trust Trustee of its duties under this Section 3.11(a)(ii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 3.11(a)(ii). The Grantor Trust Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Grantor Trust Trustee’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(iii) (A) 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”) (it being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December 31st of each year), commencing in March 2008 and thereafter so long as the Trust is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, the Grantor Trust 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 a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification as described in Section 3.11 (a)(iii)(D) below to the extent it has been delivered to the Grantor Trust Trustee within the applicable time frame set forth in this Agreement. Any disclosure or information in addition to information described in the preceding sentence that is required to be included on Form 10-K, including the Form 10-K filed in connection with the Underlying Series (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be, pursuant to paragraph (B) below, reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit D and parties related to the Underlying Series and required to provide information pursuant to the Underlying Agreement to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor and approved by the Depositor, and the Grantor Trust Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the Grantor Trust Trustee is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit D) and approval. Such Form 10-K also shall incorporate by reference the Form 10-Ks filed with respect to the Underlying Series.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Underlying Agreement to the contrary, the Grantor Trustee shall aggregate all information provided by the parties related to the Underlying Series pursuant to the Underlying Agreement or as otherwise required to be provided by the Depositor or incorporated by reference as instructed by the Depositor, to the Depositor or the Grantor Trust Trustee, and shall include such information in any Form 10-K filed pursuant to this Agreement to the extent such information is required to be included in such Form 10-K and is received by the Grantor Trust Trustee.

(B) No later than March 15th of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2008, (i) the parties set forth in Exhibit D and parties related to the Underlying Series and required to provide information pursuant to the Underlying Agreement shall be required to provide pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) below or the Underlying Agreement to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. To the extent not otherwise required under the Underlying Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Grantor Trust Trustee, by no later than two Business Days after the date specified above, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure for any Servicer of the Underlying Series. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Grantor Trust Trustee in connection with including any Form 10-K Disclosure information on Form 10-K pursuant to this Section.

In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is in final form and the Grantor Trust Trustee may proceed with the filing of the Form 10-K. No later than the close of business New York City time on the 4th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, a senior 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 Grantor Trust Trustee. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Grantor Trust Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.11(a)(v). Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Grantor Trust Trustee. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Grantor Trust Trustee of its duties under Sections 3.11(a)(iii) and (v) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under such Sections and Section 3.09 and Section 3.10. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Grantor Trust Trustee’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(D) Each Form 10-K shall include a certification (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Certification”) required to be included therewith in compliance with Item 601(b)(31)(ii) of Regulation S-K, which shall be signed by the Certifying Person and delivered to the Grantor Trust Trustee no later than March 15th of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

A senior officer of the Depositor shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust.

(iv) With respect to any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (collectively, the “Additional Disclosure”) relating to the Trust Fund and the Underlying Series, the Grantor Trust Trustee’s obligation to include such Additional Information in the applicable Exchange Act report is subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated in Exhibit D as the responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Grantor Trust Trustee, or from the parties to the Underlying Series and the Depositor, as and when required as described in Section 3.11(a)(i) through (iii) above. Such Additional Disclosure shall be accompanied by a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit E. Each of the Sponsor, the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor hereby agrees to notify and provide to the extent known to the Sponsor, the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor all Additional Disclosure relating to the Trust Fund, with respect to which such party is indicated in Exhibit E as the responsible party for providing that information. Within five Business Days of each Distribution Date of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, the Depositor shall make available to the Grantor Trust Trustee the Significance Estimate and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall use such information to calculate the Significance Percentage. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall provide the Significance Percentage to the Depositor by the later of the Distribution Date or three (3) Business Days after the receipt of the Significance Estimate from the Depositor. If the Significance Percentage meets either of the threshold levels detailed in Item 1115(b)(1) or 1115(b)(2) of Regulation AB, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall deliver written notification to the Depositor and the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty to that effect, which notification shall include a request that the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty provide Regulation AB information to the Depositor in accordance with the Yield Maintenance Agreement. The Depositor shall be obligated to obtain from the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty any information required under Regulation AB to the extent required under the Yield Maintenance Agreement and to provide to the Grantor Trust Trustee any information that may be required to be included in any Form 10-D, Form 8-K or Form 10-K relating to the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty or written notification instructing the Grantor Trust Trustee that such Additional Disclosure regarding the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty is not necessary for such Distribution Date. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Grantor Trust Trustee in connection with including any Additional Disclosure information pursuant to this Section.

So long as the Depositor is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust Fund, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall notify the Depositor of any bankruptcy or receivership with respect to the Grantor Trust Trustee or of any proceedings of the type described under Item 1117 of Regulation AB that have occurred as of the related Due Period, together with a description thereof, no later than the date on which such information is required of other parties hereto as set forth under this Section 3.11. In addition, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall notify the Depositor of any affiliations or relationships that develop after the Closing Date between the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor or the Sponsor of the type described under Item 1119 of Regulation AB, together with a description thereof, no later than the date on which such information is required of other parties hereto as set forth under this Section 3.11. Should the identification of any of the Depositor or the Sponsor change, the Depositor shall promptly notify the Grantor Trust Trustee.

(v) (A) On or prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Grantor Trust Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall prepare and file a Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust under the Exchange Act.

(B) In the event that the Grantor Trust 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 by 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 or for any other reason, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Grantor Trust Trustee will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, 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, and such amendment relates to any Additional Disclosure, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the parties affected thereby and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, 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 a duly authorized officer of the Depositor. The parties hereto acknowledge that the performance by the Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee of their respective duties under this Section 3.11(a)(v) related to the timely preparation, execution 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 Depositor timely performing its duties under this Section. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Grantor Trust Trustee’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or to the Underlying Series needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Grantor Trust Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Underlying Securities as the Grantor Trust Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.11; provided, however, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Fees and expenses incurred by the Grantor Trust Trustee in connection with this Section 3.11 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

(b) The Grantor Trust Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each of its officers, directors 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 a breach of the Grantor Trust Trustee’s obligations under Sections 3.09, 3.10 and 3.11 or the Grantor Trust Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each of its respective officers, directors 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 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Back-Up Certification, any Annual Statement of Compliance, any Assessment of Compliance or any Additional Disclosure provided by the Grantor Trust Trustee on its behalf pursuant to Section 3.09, 3.10 or 3.11 (the “Grantor Trust Trustee Information”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Grantor Trust Trustee Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Grantor Trust Certificates, without regard to whether the Grantor Trust Trustee Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.

The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Grantor Trust Trustee and each of its officers, directors 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 a breach of the obligations of the Depositor under Sections 3.09, 3.10 and 3.11 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In addition, the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Grantor Trust Trustee and each of its respective officers, directors 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 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Additional Disclosure provided by the Depositor that is required to be filed pursuant to this Section 3.11 (the “Depositor Information”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Depositor Information that is required to be filed and not to any other information communicated in connection with the Grantor Trust Certificates, without regard to whether the Depositor Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Grantor Trust Trustee, as applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with any conduct for which it is providing indemnification under this Section 3.11(b), agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the respective parties.

The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 3.11(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.

(c) Failure of the Grantor Trust Trustee to comply with this Section 3.11 (including with respect to the time frames required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall, upon written notice from the Depositor, constitute a default and the Depositor shall, in addition to whatever rights it may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Grantor Trust Trustee under this Agreement and in and to the Underlying Securities and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Grantor Trust Trustee for the same (but subject to the Grantor Trust Trustee’s right to reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary. In connection with the termination of the Grantor Trust Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.11(c), the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs and expenses associated with such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no default by the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have occurred with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any report on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, any Form 15 or Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Grantor Trust Trustee’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file any such report, Form or amendment, and does not result from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(d) This Section 3.11 may be amended without the consent of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders.

(e) Any report, notice or notification to be delivered by the Grantor Trust Trustee to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 3.11, may be delivered via email to ***@*** or, in the case of a notification, telephonically by calling Reg AB Compliance Manager at ###-###-####.

Section 3.12. Reserve Account.

(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain a segregated trust account or a sub-account of a trust account entitled the “Reserve Account”. The Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account. On the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Reserve Account and retain therein the Reserve Account Deposit remitted on the Closing Date to the Grantor Trust Trustee by the Sponsor. On the Closing Date, the Reserve Account shall also include the right to receive the Additional Amount that has been agreed by the Sponsor to be paid to the Trust. Funds deposited in the Reserve Account shall be held in trust by the Grantor Trust Trustee for the Grantor Trust Certificateholders for the uses and purposes set forth herein. On the Closing Date, the portion of the Reserve Account Deposit initially included in the Reserve Account Deposit Portion A on such date may be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the first Distribution Date, and the portion of the Reserve Account Deposit initially included in the Reserve Account Deposit Portion B on such date may be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later than the second Distribution Date, in each case as directed by the Depositor. Any remaining Reserve Account Deposit Portion A following the first Distribution Date shall remain uninvested. All income and gain realized from investment of the Reserve Account Deposit or portions thereof, which investment shall be made solely upon the written direction of the Depositor, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders and shall be included in the Reserve Account Distribution Amount related to the first and second Distribution Dates. If no written direction with respect to such investment is received by the Grantor Trust Trustee from the Depositor on the Closing Date, then funds in the Reserve Account shall remain uninvested. Pursuant to Section 3.13, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall also deposit into the Reserve Account any Additional Amount, if any, received pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement for inclusion in the Reserve Account Distribution Amount for the second Distribution Date.

(b) The amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be specifically allocated as provided in this Agreement to cover related Interest Distribution Amounts for the Grantor Trust Certificates with respect to the first two Distribution Dates following the Closing Date. On each of the first two Distribution Dates, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall withdraw from the Reserve Account the Reserve Account Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and include such amount in the Available Funds for that Distribution Date and distribute such amount to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders in accordance with Section 3.05. To the extent the Reserve Account Deposit Portion B is insufficient to cover the Interest Distribution Amount on the second Distribution Date, the Additional Amount received pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement shall be used to cover such amount. On the second Distribution Date, any remaining Reserve Account Deposit Portion B following distributions on the second Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders as provided in Section 3.05(b). Any payments to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders in respect of interest pursuant to this subsection shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code represented by the Underlying Securities.

Section 3.13. The Yield Maintenance Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the Sponsor has agreed to cause the Additional Amount to be paid to the Trust. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall enter into the Yield Maintenance Agreement on or before the second Distribution Date to evidence such right to receive Additional Amounts. Pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement, the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty shall remit to the Grantor Trust Trustee the Additional Amount. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall demand payment of all money payable by the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty under the Yield Maintenance Agreement. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall deposit in the Reserve Account all payments received from the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement for inclusion in the Reserve Account Distribution Amount to be distributed to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders on the second Distribution Date in accordance with Section 3.05(a).

In the event that the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty fails to perform any of its obligations under the Yield Maintenance Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties thereunder, or in the event that any Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the Yield Maintenance Agreement) occurs with respect to the Yield Maintenance Agreement, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of such failure, breach or event, notify the Depositor and send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Trust, required to enforce the rights of the Trust under the Yield Maintenance Agreement.

In the event that the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under a guaranty relating to the Yield Maintenance Agreement (such guaranty the “Guaranty” and such third party the “Guarantor”), then to the extent that the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty fails to make any payment by the close of business on the day it is required to make payment under the terms of the Yield Maintenance Agreement, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall, promptly following actual notice of the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty’s failure to pay, demand that the Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by the Guarantor pursuant to such Guaranty. The Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty or the Depositor shall promptly provide the Grantor Trust Trustee with a copy of such Guaranty; provided, that the Grantor Trust Trustee shall in no event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by the Yield Maintenance Agreement Counterparty or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement and the Guaranty, nor for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) in connection therewith.

ARTICLE IV

THE GRANTOR TRUST CERTIFICATES

Section 4.01. The Grantor Trust Certificates.

(a) The Depository, the Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee have entered into a letter agreement dated as of October 24, 2007 (the “Depository Agreement”). Except as provided in Subsection 4.01(b), the Grantor Trust Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Grantor Trust Certificates may not be transferred by the Grantor Trust Trustee except to a successor to the Depository; (ii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Grantor Trust Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iii) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (iv) the Grantor Trust Trustee shall deal with the Depository as representative of the Grantor Trust Certificate Owners for purposes of exercising the rights of Grantor Trust Certificateholders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Grantor Trust Certificate Owners; and (v) the Grantor Trust Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants.

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

(b) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Grantor Trust Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days or (ii) after the occurrence and continuation of a default hereunder, the Grantor Trust Certificate Owners of not less than 51% of the Percentage Interests of the Grantor Trust Certificates advise the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depository in writing through the depository participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to the Grantor Trust Certificates through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of the Grantor Trust Certificate Owners, then the Grantor Trust Trustee shall request that the Depository notify all Grantor Trust Certificate Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Grantor Trust Certificates (the “Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates”) to Grantor Trust Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Grantor Trust Trustee of the Grantor Trust Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall issue the Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.

(c) The Grantor Trust Certificates shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Grantor Trust Certificates shall be executed by manual signature on behalf of the Grantor Trust Trustee in its capacity as Grantor Trust Trustee hereunder by an authorized officer. Grantor Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to all benefits under this Agreement, subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Grantor Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Grantor Trust Certificates. No Grantor Trust Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Grantor Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Grantor Trust Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Grantor Trust Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Grantor Trust Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Grantor Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Pending the preparation of Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates, the Grantor Trust Trustee may sign and authenticate temporary Grantor Trust Certificates that are printed, lithographed or typewritten, in authorized denominations for Grantor Trust Certificates, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers or authorized signatories executing such Grantor Trust Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Grantor Trust Certificates. If temporary Grantor Trust Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates, the temporary Grantor Trust Certificates shall be exchangeable for Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Grantor Trust Certificates at the office of the Grantor Trust Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall sign and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations, of Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates. Until so exchanged, such temporary Grantor Trust Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as Definitive Grantor Trust Certificates.

Each of the Grantor Trust Certificates will be initially registered as a single Grantor Trust Certificate held by a nominee of the Depository, and beneficial interests will be held by investors through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum denominations of $100,000 and increments of $1 in excess thereof. The Grantor Trust Certificates shall be issued in the aggregate dollar denominations as set forth in the following table:

Class		Current Principal Amount
A-1			$ 24,759,000.00

Section 4.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Grantor Trust Certificates.

(a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Grantor Trust Trustee may prescribe, the Certificate Register shall provide for the registration of Grantor Trust Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Grantor Trust Certificates as herein provided. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Grantor Trust Trustee as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register.

The Depositor and every Grantor Trust Certificateholder and Grantor Trust Certificate Owner, by receiving and holding a Grantor Trust Certificate or an interest therein, agrees with the Grantor Trust Trustee that the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

(b) Subject to the preceding subsection, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Grantor Trust Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Grantor Trust Certificates of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

(c) At the option of any Holder, its Grantor Trust Certificates may be exchanged for other Grantor Trust Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Grantor Trust Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Grantor Trust Trustee. Whenever any Grantor Trust Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Grantor Trust Certificates which the Grantor Trust Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(d) Every Grantor Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Grantor Trust Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Grantor Trust Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and shall further be accompanied by the information required to be provided to the Grantor Trust Trustee for WHFIT reporting purposes pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof, including the status of the proposed transferee as a “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to a sale, the price, the amount of proceeds and the date of sale of such Grantor Trust Certificate or interest therein.

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

(f) All Grantor Trust Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the Grantor Trust Trustee without liability on its part.

Section 4.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Grantor Trust Certificates.

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

Section 4.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Grantor Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Grantor Trust Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Grantor Trust Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Grantor Trust Certificate is registered as the owner of such Grantor Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 3.05 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Grantor Trust Trustee, or any agent of the Depositor or the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The predecessor Grantor Trust Trustee shall after payment of its outstanding fees and expenses promptly deliver to the successor Grantor Trust Trustee the Underlying Securities and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or property constituting the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor to act as co-Grantor Trust Trustee or co-Grantor Trust Trustees, jointly with the Grantor Trust Trustee, or separate Grantor Trust Trustee or separate Grantor Trust Trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-Grantor Trust Trustee or separate Grantor Trust Trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Grantor Trust Trustee under Section 5.06 hereunder; provided, that if the co-Grantor Trust Trustee or separate Grantor Trust Trustee does not meet such eligibility standards, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall remain liable for its actions hereunder, and no notice to Grantor Trust Certificateholders of the appointment of co-Grantor Trust Trustee(s) or separate Grantor Trust Trustee(s) shall be required under Section 5.08 hereof.

(b) If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a written request so to do, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without the Depositor.

(c) In the case of any appointment of a co-Grantor Trust Trustee or separate Grantor Trust Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Grantor Trust Trustee and required to be conferred on such co-Grantor Trust Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed jointly by the Grantor Trust Trustee and such separate Grantor Trust Trustee or co-Grantor Trust Trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Grantor Trust Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate Grantor Trust Trustee or co-Grantor Trust Trustee at the direction of the Grantor Trust Trustee.

(d) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate Grantor Trust Trustees and co-Grantor Trust Trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate Grantor Trust Trustee or co-Grantor Trust Trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article V. Each separate Grantor Trust Trustee and co-Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Grantor Trust Trustee.

(e) To the extent not prohibited by law, any separate Grantor Trust Trustee or co-Grantor Trust Trustee may, at any time, request the Grantor Trust Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to do any lawful act under or with respect to this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Grantor Trust Trustee or co-Grantor Trust 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 Grantor Trust Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Grantor Trust Trustee.

(f) No Grantor Trust Trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of another Grantor Trust Trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate Grantor Trust Trustee or co-Grantor Trust Trustee.

THE DEPOSITOR

Section 6.01. Liability of the Depositor.

The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor herein.

Section 6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Depositor.

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and the Grantor Trust Certificates and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

The Depositor may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Depositor 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 the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Grantor Trust 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 other Person against any breach of a representation or warranty made herein, or against any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of such obligations and duties. The Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, primafacie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

Section 7.01. Termination.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund (other than the obligation to make certain payments and to send certain notices to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the later of (i) the making of the final payment on or other liquidation of the Underlying Securities and (ii) the payment to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last 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.

(b) The Grantor Trust Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 8.05, give a Notice of Final Distribution to the Holders, the Depositor and the Rating Agency as soon as practicable of the Distribution Date on which the Grantor Trust Trustee anticipates that the final distribution will be made on the Grantor Trust Certificates, which notice shall:

(i) specify the Distribution Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to such Holders;

(ii) specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and

(iii) state that the final distribution to such Holders will be made only upon presentment and surrender of their Grantor Trust Certificates at the office of the Grantor Trust Trustee therein specified.

If the payment on the Grantor Trust Certificates is not made on the anticipated Distribution Date for any reason, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof to each such Holder, the Depositor and to the Rating Agency.

(c) Upon presentment and surrender of the Grantor Trust Certificates by the Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates on the Final Distribution Date, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall distribute to such Grantor Trust Certificateholders the amounts otherwise distributable to them on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any funds not distributed on a Final Distribution Date because of the failure of any Grantor Trust Certificateholders to tender their Grantor Trust Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Grantor Trust Certificateholders, and the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Grantor Trust Certificates as to which Notice of Final Distribution has been given pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining Grantor Trust Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Grantor Trust Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Grantor Trust Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall directly or through an agent, take reasonable steps to contact the remaining Grantor Trust Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Grantor Trust Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Grantor Trust Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets of the Trust Fund. If within two years after the second notice any Grantor Trust Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall segregate all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Grantor Trust Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Grantor Trust Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Grantor Trust Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 7.01.

ARTICLE VII

(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee with the prior written consent of the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholder for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(c) No Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement or the Trust Fund, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor a written notice of default hereunder, and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall have made written request upon the Grantor Trust Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Grantor Trust Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Grantor Trust Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Grantor Trust Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. For the prosecution and enforcement of the rights granted under this Section, each and every Grantor Trust Certificateholder and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 8.10. Acts of Grantor Trust Certificateholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Grantor Trust Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Grantor Trust Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Grantor Trust Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Depositor. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Depositor, if made in the manner provided in this Section 8.10.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Grantor Trust Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Grantor Trust Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on such Grantor Trust Certificates, except an endorsement in accordance with Section 4.02 made on a Grantor Trust Certificates presented in accordance with Section 4.04) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Depositor, nor any successor to either such party shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action of the holder of any Grantor Trust Certificate shall bind every future holder of the same Grantor Trust Certificate and the holder of every Grantor Trust Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange thereof, if applicable, or in lieu thereof with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Depositor, or any successor to either such party in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.

(e) In determining whether the Holders of the requisite Percentage Interest of Grantor Trust Certificates have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Grantor Trust Certificates owned by the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01(b), except that, in determining whether the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Grantor Trust Certificates which the Grantor Trust Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Grantor Trust Certificates which have been pledged in good faith to the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgor establishes to the satisfaction of the Grantor Trust Trustee the pledgor’s right to act with respect to such Grantor Trust Certificates and that the pledgor is not an Affiliate of the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Depositor, as the case may be.

evidencing a Percentage Interest in the distributions allocable to the Class A-1 Grantor Trust Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Underlying Securities sold by STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.

This Grantor Trust Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Grantor Trust Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Grantor Trust Certificate nor the Underlying Securities are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Grantor Trust Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Grantor Trust Trustee or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Grantor Trust Certificates.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Grantor Trust Certificates of the same Class as this Grantor Trust Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of the Underlying Securities sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“SAMI II”). The Underlying Securities were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) to SAMI II. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Grantor Trust Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, (the “Agreement”), between SAMI II, as depositor (the “Depositor”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as grantor trust trustee (the “Grantor Trust Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Grantor Trust Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Grantor Trust Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Interest on this Grantor Trust Certificate will accrue from and including the 25th day (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date) of the calendar month preceding the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs to and including the 24th day of the calendar month in which that Distribution Date occurs (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, to but not including October 25, 2007) on the Current Principal Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate as described in the Agreement. The Grantor Trust Trustee will distribute on the Underlying Security Distribution Date of each month (each, a “Distribution Date”) to the Person in whose name this Grantor Trust Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date (or with respect to the First Distribution Date, the Closing Date), an amount equal to the product of Percentage Interest evidenced by this Grantor Trust Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Grantor Trust Certificates of the same Class as this Grantor Trust Certificate, commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above. The Underlying Security Distribution Date is the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day.

Distributions on this Grantor Trust Certificate will be made by the Grantor Trust Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Grantor Trust Trustee in writing as specified in the Agreement, by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Grantor Trust Certificate will be made after due notice by the Grantor Trust Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Grantor Trust Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Grantor Trust Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice. The Initial Current Principal Amount of this Grantor Trust Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.

This Grantor Trust Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Grantor Trust Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Grantor Trust Certificates”), issued in one Class. The Grantor Trust Certificates evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Grantor Trust Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Grantor Trust Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that none of the Depositor or the Grantor Trust Trustee are liable to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Grantor Trust Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

This Grantor Trust Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Grantor Trust Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the Grantor Trust Trustee and the rights of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders related to the Trust Fund under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates, evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Grantor Trust Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Percentage Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Grantor Trust Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Grantor Trust Certificate and of any Grantor Trust Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Grantor Trust Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Grantor Trust Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Grantor Trust Certificate is registrable with the Grantor Trust Trustee upon surrender of this Grantor Trust Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Grantor Trust Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Grantor Trust Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and accompanied by the information required to be provided to the Grantor Trust Trustee for WHFIT reporting purposes as described in the Agreement, and thereupon one or more new Grantor Trust Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

The Grantor Trust Certificates are issuable only as registered Grantor Trust Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Grantor Trust Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Grantor Trust Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Grantor Trust Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, Grantor Trust Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Grantor Trust Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligations to make payments to Grantor Trust Certificateholders with respect to the termination of the Agreement related to the Trust Fund) shall terminate upon the later of (i) the making of the final payment on or other liquidation of the Underlying Securities, or (ii) the payment to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement.

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Definitions

Grantor Trust Trustee – waterfall calculator

Grantor Trust Trustee – fiduciary of the transaction

Note: The definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs, rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the Grantor Trust Trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities administrator” functions, while in another transaction, the securities administrator may perform these functions.

Where there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify in their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction agreements.
