MORGAN ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION I, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., in its dual capacities as master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator"), and acknowledged by J.P. MORGAN MORTGAGE ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation, as a seller ("JPMMAC" and a "Seller") and SUNSET FINANCIAL RESOURCES, INC., a Maryland corporation, as a seller ("Sunset" and a "Seller" and, together with JPMMAC, the "Sellers"), for purposes of Sections 2.04 and 2.05. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Sellers and at the Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trustee as consideration for the Depositor's transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund, are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Additional Collateral) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC" or, in the alternative, the "Lower-Tier I REMIC," the "Lower-Tier II REMIC"and the "Upper-Tier (or "Master") REMIC"). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R Certificate, will represent ownership of one or more regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC created hereunder. The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC Interests (other than the Class LT-I-A-R Interest and Class LT-II-A-R Interest). The Lower-Tier I REMIC will hold as assets Mortgage Pools 1, 2, 3 and 4 and all other property of the Trust Fund allocable to Mortgage Pools 1, 2, 3 and 4 (except for any Additional Collateral). The Lower-Tier II REMIC will hold as assets Mortgage Pools 5, 6 and 7 and all other property of the Trust Fund allocable to Mortgage Pools 5, 6 and 7 (except for any Additional Collateral) Each Lower-Tier I REMIC Interest (other than the Class LT-I-A-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower-Tier I REMIC and each Lower-Tier II REMIC Interest (other than the Class LT-II-A-R Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower-Tier II REMIC. The latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular interests created in this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date. v THE LOWER-TIER I REMIC The Lower-Tier I REMIC Regular Interests will have the initial Class Principal Amounts, pass-through rates and Corresponding Mortgage Pools as set forth in the following table:
Initial Principal Pass-Through Corresponding Lower-Tier I REMIC Interests Amount Rate Mortgage Pool - ---------------------------- --------- ------------ ------------- A-1 (0.9% of SP Group 1) (1) (2) 1 B-1 (0.1% of SP Group 1) (1) (2) 1 C-1 (Excess of Group 1) (1) (2) 1 A-2 (0.9% of SP Group 2) (1) (2) 2 B-2 (0.1% of SP Group 2) (1) (2) 2 C-2 (Excess of Group 2) (1) (2) 2 A-3 (0.9% of SP Group 3) (1) (2) 3 B-3 (0.1% of SP Group 3) (1) (2) 3 C-3 (Excess of Group 3) (1) (2) 3 A-4 (0.9% of SP Group 4) (1) (2) 4 B-4 (0.1% of SP Group 4) (1) (2) 4 C-4 (Excess of Group 4) (1) (2) 4 LT-I-A-R (3) (3) N/A
(1) Each Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Pool Subordinated Amount ("SP") of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. Each Class B Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Pool Subordinated Amount of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. The initial principal balance of each Class C Interest will equal the excess of the initial aggregate principal balance of its corresponding Mortgage Pool over the initial aggregate principal balances of the Class A and Class B Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool. (2) A Rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans of the corresponding Mortgage Pool. (3) The Class LT-I-A-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier I REMIC. It has no principal balance and pays no principal or interest. vi On each Distribution Date, the Available Funds from Mortgage Pools 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall be distributed with respect to their corresponding Lower-Tier I REMIC Interests in the following manner: (1) Interest. Interest is to be distributed with respect to each Lower-Tier I REMIC Interest at the rate, or according to the formulas, described above; (2) Principal if no Cross-Over Situation Exists. If no Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to any Class of Interests, then Principal Amounts arising with respect to each Mortgage Pool will be allocated: first to cause the Mortgage Pool's corresponding Class A and Class B to equal, respectively, 0.9% of the Pool Subordinated Amount ("SP") and 0.1% of the SP; and second to the Mortgage Pool's corresponding Class C Interest; (3) Principal if a Cross-Over Situation Exists. If a Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Mortgage Pool then: (a) if the Calculation Rate in respect of such outstanding Class A and Class B Interests is less than the Pool I Subordinate Net WAC, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class A Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from such Mortgage Pool; and (b) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B Interests is greater than the Pool I Subordinate Net WAC, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class B Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from such Mortgage Pool. In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B Interests to equal the Pool I Subordinate Net WAC. With respect to each Mortgage Pool, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the principal payments comprising the Principal Remittance Amount received during the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses, are insufficient to make the necessary reductions of principal on the Class A and Class B Interests, then interest will be added to the Mortgage Pool's other Interests that are not receiving Principal Relocation Payments, in proportion to their principal balances. (c) The outstanding aggregate Class A and Class B Interests for all Mortgage Pools will not be reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the aggregate outstanding Class Principal Amounts of all Mortgage Pools as of the end of any Due Period over (ii) the Senior Certificates for all Mortgage Pools as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal on such Distribution Date). If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the distribution of principal to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Mortgage Pool, and if the Mortgage Pool's Class C Interest has already been reduced to zero, then the excess principal from that Mortgage Pool will be paid to the Class C Interests of the other Mortgage Pools, the aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of which are less than one percent of the Pool Subordinated Amount. If the Mortgage Pool of a Class C Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average Net Mortgage Rate below the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Pool making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the Lower-Tier I REMIC as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Mortgage Pool of a Class C Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average Net Mortgage Rate above the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Pool making the vii payment, then the payment will be treated by the Lower-Tier I REMIC as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses. THE LOWER-TIER II REMIC The Lower-Tier II REMIC Regular Interests will have the initial Class Principal Amounts, pass-through rates and Corresponding Mortgage Pools as set forth in the following table:
Initial Principal Pass-Through Corresponding Lower-Tier II REMIC Interests Amount Rate Mortgage Pool - ----------------------------- --------- ------------- ------------- A-5 (0.9% of SP Group 5) (1) (2) 5 B-5 (0.1% of SP Group 5) (1) (2) 5 C-5 (Excess of Group 5) (1) (2) 5 A-6 (0.9% of SP Group 6) (1) (2) 6 B-6 (0.1% of SP Group 6) (1) (2) 6 C-6 (Excess of Group 6) (1) (2) 6 A-7 (0.9% of SP Group 7) (1) (2) 7 B-7 (0.1% of SP Group 7) (1) (2) 7 C-7 (Excess of Group 7) (1) (2) 7 LT-II-A-R (3) (3) N/A
(1) Each Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Pool Subordinated Amount ("SP") of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. Each Class B Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Pool Subordinated Amount of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. The initial principal balance of each Class C Interest will equal the excess of the initial aggregate principal balance of its corresponding Mortgage Pool over the initial aggregate principal balances of the Class A and Class B Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool. (2) A Rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans of the corresponding Mortgage Pool. (3) The Class LT-II-A-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier II REMIC. It has no principal balance and pays no principal or interest. On each Distribution Date, the Available Funds from Mortgage Pools 5, 6 and 7 shall be distributed with respect to their corresponding Lower-Tier II REMIC Interests in the following manner: (1) Interest. Interest is to be distributed with respect to each Lower-Tier II REMIC Interest at the rate, or according to the formulas, described above; (2) Principal if no Cross-Over Situation Exists. If no Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to any Class of Interests, then Principal Amounts arising with respect to each Mortgage Pool will be allocated: first to cause the Mortgage Pool's corresponding Class A and Class B to equal, viii respectively, 0.9% of the Pool Subordinated Amount ("SP") and 0.1% of the SP; and second to the Mortgage Pool's corresponding Class C Interest; (3) Principal if a Cross-Over Situation Exists. If a Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Mortgage Pool then: (a) if the Calculation Rate in respect of such outstanding Class A and Class B Interests is less than the Pool II Subordinate Net WAC, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class A Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from such Mortgage Pool; and (b) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B Interests is greater than the Pool II Subordinate Net WAC, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class B Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from such Mortgage Pool. In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B Interests to equal the Pool II Subordinate Net WAC. With respect to each Mortgage Pool, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the principal payments comprising the Principal Remittance Amount received during the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses, are insufficient to make the necessary reductions of principal on the Class A and Class B Interests, then interest will be added to the Mortgage Pool's other Interests that are not receiving Principal Relocation Payments, in proportion to their principal balances. (c) The outstanding aggregate Class A and Class B Interests for all Mortgage Pools will not be reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the aggregate outstanding Class Principal Amounts of all Mortgage Pools as of the end of any Due Period over (ii) the Senior Certificates for all Mortgage Pools as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal on such Distribution Date). If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the distribution of principal to the Class A and Class B Interests of a Mortgage Pool, and if the Mortgage Pool's Class C Interest has already been reduced to zero, then the excess principal from that Mortgage Pool will be paid to the Class C Interests of the other Mortgage Pools, the aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of which are less than one percent of the Pool Subordinated Amount. If the Mortgage Pool of a Class C Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average Net Mortgage Rate below the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Pool making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the Lower-Tier II REMIC as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Mortgage Pool of a Class C Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average Net Mortgage Rate above the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Pool making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the Lower-Tier II REMIC as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses. ix THE CERTIFICATES AND THE UPPER-TIER REMIC The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, Certificate Interest Rate, initial Class Principal Amount and minimum denomination for each Class of Certificates comprising interests in the Trust Fund created hereunder.

As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans in Aggregate Pool I and Aggregate Pool II had an Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of $388,855,601.64 and $219,375,325.31, respectively. The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall--actual or potential (other than for credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest. To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention the Trustee will resolve ambiguities to accomplish such result and will to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of Counsel) to accomplish such intention. xi In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS Section 1.01 Definitions.

(a) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the related Seller or the related Originator or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or, following the date of delivery to the Trustee of the Custodian's certifications as required under the related Custodial Agreements, that a document is missing from, a Trustee Mortgage File, or discovery by the Trustee, the Depositor, the related Seller or Originator of the breach by such Originator or Seller 47 of any representation or warranty under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in the case of an Originator, or under this Agreement, in the case of a Seller, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a "Defective Mortgage Loan") (each of the Depositor, the related Seller and the related Originator hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and the other of such parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly notify the Depositor and the related Seller or Originator, as applicable, in writing of such defective or missing document or breach and request that the related Seller or Originator deliver such missing document or cure or cause the cure of such defect or breach within a period of time specified in the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement (or, in the case of a breach by a Seller, within 90 days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach), and if the related Seller or Originator, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, or the related Seller under this Agreement, as applicable, and cause the related Originator or Seller, as the case may be, to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such specified period (subject to Section 2.05(b) below); provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such specified period (unless permitted a greater period of time to cure under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement), subject to Section 2.05(c) below, if the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall have commenced to cure such breach within such specified period, the related Originator or Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within such additional time as is reasonably determined by the Trustee to cure such breach. To the extent that any costs and damages are incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any violation of any applicable federal, state, or local predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the related Originator or Seller, such costs and damages shall be included in the Purchase Price of such repurchased Mortgage Loan and shall be borne by (x) JPMMAC, with respect to the JPMMAC Mortgage Loans, or (y) Sunset, with respect to the Sunset Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that if Sunset fails to remit the costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any violation of any applicable federal, state, or local predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with the origination of any Sunset Mortgage Loan repurchased by Sunset, such costs and damages shall be borne by JPMMAC. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall release or cause the Custodian to release to the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the related Originator or Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage 48 Loan. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b) below. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Originators and the Sellers to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. (b) Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or Seller substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an Officers' Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be retained by the related Originator or Seller, as applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to the related Certificateholders shall reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the related Acknowledgement, including all representations and warranties thereof included in such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in each case as of the date of substitution. For any month in which an Originator or Seller substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a "Substitution Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage Loans replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together with one month's interest on such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Amount, if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, 49 in each case without recourse, as the related Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In addition, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given. (c) Upon discovery by the related Originator, the related Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the applicable party shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b), substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a) above. The Trustee shall re-convey to the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty. Section 2.06 Grant Clause. (a) It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided. (b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original 50 filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee's security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of an Originator, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of a Seller or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of an Originator or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither the Originators nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, any Originator or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Originators and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b).

Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. Each Class of Non-Book-Entry Certificates other than the Residual Certificates shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.

Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the Trustee Mortgage Files described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated 51 and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed by the Trustee to the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.

The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Securities Administrator and the appointment of a successor Securities Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. Section 3.03 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates. (b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or 52 accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. (c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein. The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate: (i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a "qualified institutional buyer" (a "QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") by a transferor that has provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit H hereto; and XXX (ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an "accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto. (d) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in any nonexempt prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities 53 Administrator or any Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit J. The preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the Underwriter. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d) and none of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan. (e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder"). Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an 54 agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate. If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of written notice to the Trustee that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f). (g) Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder's or Owner's acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section. 55 Section 3.04 Cancellation of Certificates. Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar. Section 3.05 Replacement of Certificates. If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. If after the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or any agent in connection therewith. Section 3.06 Persons Deemed Owners. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Section 3.07 Temporary Certificates. (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of the Depositor, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in 56 any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as the authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates. (b) If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of definitive Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same Class. Section 3.08 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as the initial Paying Agent. The Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent, other than the Securities Administrator, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in an Eligible Account (which shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the Trustee. If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the Trustee shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers. Section 3.09 Book-Entry Certificates. (a) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 3.09(c): (i) the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect; (ii) the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book- 57 Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency's normal procedures; (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control; and (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants. (b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency. (c) If (i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the Paying Agent in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Paying Agent, (ii) the Depositor, at its option, advises the Paying Agent in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 58 Certificate Registrar, upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall have the right to issue Definitive Certificates on the Closing Date in connection with credit enhancement programs.

(iv) To the Class A-R Certificates, any remaining amount of the Available Distribution Amount from the Mortgage Pools in Aggregate Pool I and Aggregate Pool II. (b) On each Distribution Date on and after the related Credit Support Depletion Date for an Aggregate Pool, the Available Distribution Amount for each Mortgage Pool in the applicable Aggregate Pool shall be combined and distributed to the remaining related Classes of Certificates, on a pro rata basis, first, to pay the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls; second, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Amounts of such Certificates, pro rata (on the basis of their Class Principal Amounts), until such Certificate Principal Amounts have been reduced to zero; and third, to the Class A-R Certificate, any remaining Available Distribution Amount from such Mortgage Pool. (c) Notwithstanding the priorities and allocations set forth in Sections 5.02(a)(iii)(a) and 5.02(a)(iii)(b) above, if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates related to an Aggregate Pool on any Distribution Date the sum of the related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all other Classes of Subordinate Certificates related to that Aggregate Pool which have a higher numerical Class designation than such Class is less than the Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution of Principal Prepayments shall be made to any such Classes and the amount of such Principal Prepayment otherwise distributable to such Classes shall be distributed to any related Classes of Subordinate Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro rata, based on the Class Principal Amounts of the respective Classes immediately prior to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided in Sections 5.02(a)(iii)(a) or 5.02(a)(iii)(b) above, as applicable. (d) Amounts distributed to the Residual Certificates pursuant to subparagraph (a)(iv) of this Section 5.02 on any Distribution Date shall be allocated among the REMIC residual 66 interests represented thereby such that each such interest is allocated the excess of funds available to the related REMIC over required distributions to the regular interests in such REMIC on such Distribution Date. (e) For purposes of distributions provided in paragraph (a), each Mortgage Pool shall "relate" to the Senior Class or Classes of the applicable Related Certificate Group. (f) [Reserved]. (g) For purposes of distributions of interest in paragraph (a) such distributions to a Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made first, in respect of Current Interest; and second, in respect of Interest Shortfalls. (h) Notwithstanding the priority of distributions set forth in paragraph (a) above, if on any Distribution Date prior to the related Credit Support Depletion Date for an Aggregate Pool (1) either one of the applicable Rapid Prepayment Conditions is satisfied on such date and (2) the Certificate Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates relating to one of the Mortgage Pools in that Aggregate Pool have been reduced to zero, then that portion of the Available Distribution Amount for each Mortgage Pool in that Aggregate Pool described in Section 5.02(a)(ii) that represents principal collections on the Mortgage Loans shall be applied as an additional distribution to the remaining related Classes of Senior Certificates in reduction of, and in proportion to, the Class Principal Amounts thereof. (i) If, on any Distribution Date, any Certificate Group in an Aggregate Pool would constitute an Undercollateralized Group and any other Certificate Group in that Aggregate Pool constitutes an Overcollateralized Group, then notwithstanding Section 5.02(a)(ii), the Available Distribution Amount for such Overcollateralized Group, to the extent remaining following distributions of interest and principal to the related Senior Certificates of that Certificate Group, shall be distributed up to the sum of the Interest Transfer Amount and the Principal Transfer Amount for such Undercollateralized Group to the Senior Certificates related to that Undercollateralized Group in payment of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and then to such Senior Certificates as principal, in the same order and priority as such Certificates would receive other distributions of principal. If more than one Undercollateralized Group in an Aggregate Pool exists on any Distribution Date, the sum of the Interest Transfer Amounts and the Principal Transfer Amounts shall be allocated among such Undercollateralized Groups, pro rata, on the basis of the amount by which the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the related Senior Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution Date exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in that Undercollateralized Group. If more than one Overcollateralized Group in an Aggregate Pool exists on any Distribution Date, reductions in the Available Distribution Amount for such Overcollateralized Groups to make the payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.02(i) on such Distribution Date shall be made pro rata, on the basis of the Class Principal Amount of the related Senior Certificates. 67 Section 5.03 Allocation of Losses. (a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall aggregate the information provided by each Servicer with respect to the total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, experienced on the Mortgage Loans in an Aggregate Pool for the related Distribution Date. (b) On each Distribution Date, the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Excess Losses) shall be allocated as follows: first, to the related Classes of Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the related Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest numerical Class designation) until the Class Principal Amount of each such Class is reduced to zero; and second, to each Class of Senior Certificates relating to the Mortgage Pool which sustained such loss (allocated among the related Senior Classes on a pro rata basis), in each case, until the Class Principal Amount of each such Class of Senior Certificates is reduced to zero; provided that any Realized Losses (other than Excess Losses) in Pool 4 otherwise allocable to the Class 4-A-1 Certificates shall be allocated to the Class 4-A-2 Certificates, until their respective Class Principal Amounts are reduced to zero; (c) (i) On each Distribution Date, any Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in a Mortgage Pool in an Aggregate Pool shall be allocated to the Classes of Senior Certificates of the related Certificate Group and the related Classes of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, on the basis of, with respect to such Senior Certificates, their respective Class Principal Amounts and, with respect to each related Class of Subordinate Certificates, the applicable Apportioned Principal Balance for each such Class relating to the Mortgage Pool in which such Excess Losses occurs; provided, however, on any Distribution Date after (x) the third Senior Termination Date for a Certificate Group in Aggregate Pool I and (y) the second Senior Termination Date for a Certificate Group in Aggregate Pool II, such Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool will be allocated to the related Senior Certificates and related Subordinate Certificates on the basis of their respective Class Principal Amounts; and provided, further, that after the related Credit Support Depletion Date for an Aggregate Pool, such Excess Losses shall be allocated pro rata to all Senior Certificates related to that Aggregate Pool, regardless of Certificate Group, on the basis of their respective Class Principal Amounts immediately prior to the related Distribution Date, until the respective Class Principal Amounts of each such Class are reduced to zero. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on any Distribution Date after the related Credit Support Depletion Date with respect to an Aggregate Pool, a Special Hazard Loss on a Mortgage Loan in that Aggregate Pool is allocated to the related Classes of Senior Certificates, such Special Hazard Loss shall be allocated among such related Classes of Senior Certificates and the outstanding Classes of Subordinate Certificates related to the other Aggregate Pool in reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest numerical Class designation), pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Amounts; provided, however, that any such Special 68 Hazard Loss allocated to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates related to the other Aggregate Pool shall not exceed the remaining Special Hazard Loss Coverage Amount for such other Aggregate Pool. (d) On each Distribution Date, the Class Principal Amount of the Class of Subordinate Certificates related to an Aggregate Pool then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of all outstanding related Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance for that Aggregate Pool for the following Distribution Date (such amount for any Distribution Date, the "Subordinate Certificate Write-down Amount"). (e) With the exception of Section 5.03(c)(ii) hereof, any allocation of a loss pursuant to this Section 5.03 to a Class of Certificates shall be achieved by reducing the Class Principal Amount thereof by the amount of such loss. Any allocation of a Special Hazard Loss pursuant to Section 5.03(c)(ii) shall be achieved through cash flow diversions and entitlements to carry-forward amounts from the non-related Class or Classes of Subordinate Certificates to which such Special Hazard Loss was allocated, to the extent of principal distributions made on such Subordinate Certificates. (f) If Subsequent Recoveries have been received with respect to a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially, in the order of payment priority, to increase the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but in each case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.03. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of the Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of such increases for any Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied pro rata to the Principal Amount of each Certificate of such Class. Section 5.04 Advances by Master Servicer. If any Servicer fails to remit any Advance required to be made under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date immediately following such Determination Date remit to the Securities Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the Distribution Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances made by it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is non-recoverable, it shall, on or prior to the related Distribution Date, deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee to such effect. 69 Section 5.05 Compensating Interest Payments. The amount of the aggregate Master Servicing Fees payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, but only to the extent that Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating to such Distribution Date are required to be paid by the Servicers pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, as amended by the Acknowledgements, but not actually paid by the Servicers. Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.

If an Event of Default has occurred and has not otherwise been cured or waived, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs, unless the Trustee is acting as master servicer, in which case it shall use the same degree of care and skill as a master servicer hereunder. (b) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer or any Servicer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical information furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer upon receipt any such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, (ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, 71 and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property. (e) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, under this Agreement. (f) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to perform services under this Agreement, or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment of its fees and expenses or the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or any Purchase and Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (g) The Trustee shall not be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Distribution Account resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon). (h) Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account, or (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master Servicer or any Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. (i) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 72 (j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. (k) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render them agents of one another, or of any Servicer. Section 6.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01: (i) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may request, and may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (ii) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel and any advice of its counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; (iv) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document (provided the same appears regular on its face), unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of at least a majority in Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates; provided, however, that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability or payment of such estimated expenses from the Certificateholders as a condition to proceeding. The reasonable expense thereof shall be paid by the party requesting such investigation and if 73 not reimbursed by the requesting party shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Trust Fund; (v) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians or attorneys, which agents, custodians or attorneys shall have any and all of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator conferred on them by such appointment, provided that each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall continue to be responsible for its duties and obligations hereunder to the extent provided herein, and provided further that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable; (vi) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, in each case at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; (vii) The right of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act; and (viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the powers granted hereunder.

(a) Any successor trustee or successor securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 6.06 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, shall become effective and such successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee or securities administrator, as applicable, herein.

Section 6.09 Appointment of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by the Trustee, to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate Trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy given to the Master Servicer. (d) Any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. (e) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.05 hereunder and no notice to the Certificateholders of the appointment shall be required under Section 6.07 hereof. 78 (f) The Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the Trustee's obligations hereunder. (g) The Trust shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co-trustees (which compensation shall not reduce any compensation payable to the Trustee under such Section). Section 6.10 Authenticating Agents. (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. The Trustee hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as initial Authenticating Agent, and the Securities Administrator accepts such appointment. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. (b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. (c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10. No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Section 6.11 Indemnification of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Depositor and the Trust Fund (provided that the Trust Fund's indemnification under this Section 6.11 is limited by Section 4.01(d) for any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable 79 attorneys' fees and disbursements (and, in the case of the Trustee, in connection with the Custodial Agreements, including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents or counsel), incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided that: (i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have given the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have knowledge thereof; (ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and shall be construed to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental law. Section 6.12 Fees and Expenses of Securities Administrator and the Trustee. (a) Compensation for the services of the Securities Administrator hereunder shall be paid by the Master Servicer. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to all disbursements and advancements incurred or made by the Securities Administrator in accordance with this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel and all persons not regularly in its employment), except any such expenses arising from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (b) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive a Trustee fee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) which shall be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to a separate agreement between the Trustee and the Master Servicer. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 6.11. Section 6.13 Collection of Monies.

(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default": (i) Any failure by the Master Servicer to furnish the Securities Administrator the Mortgage Loan data sufficient to prepare the reports described in Section 4.04 which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to such Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or to such Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates affected thereby; or (ii) Any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements (other than those referred to in (viii) and (ix) below) on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, or to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates; or (iii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or any Rating Agency reduces or withdraws or threatens to reduce or withdraw the rating of the Certificates because of the financial condition or loan servicing capability of such Master Servicer; or (iv) The Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or (v) The Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or (vi) The Master Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge into another entity or shall permit another entity to consolidate or merge into it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the criteria for a successor servicer as specified in Section 9.05 hereof; or (vii) If a representation or warranty set forth in Section 9.03 hereof shall prove to be incorrect as of the time made in any respect that materially and adversely affects the 81 interests of the Certificateholders, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or cured within 30 days after the date on which written notice of such incorrect representation or warranty shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, or to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates; or (viii) A sale or pledge of any of the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder or an assignment of this Agreement by the Master Servicer or a delegation of the rights or duties of the Master Servicer hereunder shall have occurred in any manner not otherwise permitted hereunder and without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Certificateholders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates; or (ix) After receipt of notice from the Trustee, any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advances required to be made hereunder. If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this Section shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee; and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying the Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being terminated shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of a master servicing transfer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee or Securities Administrator reasonably allocable to legal fees and expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary. 82 Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer's termination. If any Event of Default shall occur, the Trustee, upon becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the Master Servicer's failure to make Advances as required under this Agreement. (b) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination. The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.03. In the Trustee's capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee. (c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor master servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate's actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master 83 servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. No successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Trustee to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee to cooperate as required by this Agreement. Section 6.15 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of the Trust Fund, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. Section 6.16 Waiver of Defaults. More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders may waive any default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the Distribution Account that would result in a failure of the Trustee or Securities Administrator to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. 84 Section 6.17 Notification to Holders. Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, give written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period. Section 6.18 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Event of Default. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties as master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders. Section 6.19 Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon Event of Default. In the event that the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer that would become an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer. Section 6.20 Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports. (a) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared on behalf of the Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the Securities Administrator shall file federal tax returns, all in accordance with Article X hereof. If the Trustee notifies the Securities Administrator in writing that a state tax return or other return is required, then, at the sole expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file such state income 85 tax returns and such other returns as may be required by applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law, shall file any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax law (to the extent such documents are in the Securities Administrator's possession). The Securities Administrator shall forward copies to the Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099 supplemental tax information and such other information within the control of the Securities Administrator as the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall forward to each Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information within the control of the Securities Administrator as are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions to be furnished to them, and will prepare and forward to Certificateholders Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise furnish information within the control of the Securities Administrator) to the extent required by applicable law. The Master Servicer will indemnify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns directly resulting from errors in the information provided by such Master Servicer. (b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder, an application for an employer identification number on IRS Form SS-4 or by any other acceptable method. The Securities Administrator shall also file a Form 8811 as required. The Securities Administrator, upon receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall upon request promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Depositor. The Securities Administrator shall furnish any other information that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available to the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to provide the Securities Administrator with such information as is necessary for the Securities Administrator to prepare such reports. (c) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (EDGAR), a Form 8-K with a copy of the report to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30, 2004 (and, if applicable, prior to March 30 of each year), the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via EDGAR a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund. In addition, the Securities Administrator will cause its senior officer in charge of securitization to execute the certification (the "Form 10-K Certification") required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to file the same with the Commission prior to March 30, 2004 (and, if applicable, prior to March 30 of each year). To the extent any information or exhibits required to be included in the Form 10-K are not timely received by the Securities Administrator prior to March 30, the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust, file one or more amended Form 10-Ks to include such missing information or exhibits promptly after receipt thereof by the Securities Administrator. Promptly following the first date legally permissible under applicable regulations and interpretations of the Commission, the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via EDGAR a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee agree to furnish to the Securities Administrator promptly, from time to time upon request, such further 86 information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items with the Commission other than those specified in this section. ARTICLE VII PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND TERMINATION OF THE TRUST FUND Section 7.01 Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans. (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make payments to the Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the sale of the property relating to both Aggregate Pool I and Aggregate Pool II held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 7.01(c) and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a "qualified liquidation" under the REMIC Provisions. (b) [Reserved]. (c) On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Pool I Initial Optional Purchase Date, the Depositor has the option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation pursuant to Sections 7.02 and 7.03 hereof to sell all of its property related to Aggregate Pool I. If the Depositor elects to exercise such option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to the Distribution Date selected for purchase of the related assets of the Trust Fund (the "Purchase Date") deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and either (a) deposit in the Distribution Account the related Redemption Price or (b) state in such notice that the related Redemption Price shall be deposited in the Distribution Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date. Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Trust Fund related to Aggregate Pool I shall be sold to the Depositor at a price equal to the related Redemption Price. On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Pool II Initial Optional Purchase Date, Sunset has the option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation pursuant to Sections 7.02 and 7.03 hereof to sell all of its property related to Aggregate Pool II. If Sunset elects to exercise such option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to the Distribution Date selected for purchase of the related assets of the Trust Fund (the "Purchase Date") deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and either (a) deposit in the Distribution Account the related Redemption Price or (b) state in such notice 87 that the related Redemption Price shall be deposited in the Distribution Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date.

(d) The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the related Redemption Price for any Advances, Servicer Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees or other amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the applicable Aggregate Pool that are reimbursable to such parties under this Agreement, the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or the related Custodial Agreement. Section 7.02 Procedure Upon Redemption Termination of Trust Fund. (a) Notice of any redemption termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made or the Redemption Date of the applicable Certificates, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by first class mail to the related Certificateholders mailed in the case of a redemption of any Certificates, no later than (i) the first day of the month in which the Distribution Date selected for redemption of such Certificates shall occur or (ii) upon (x) the sale of all of the related property of the Trust Fund by the Trustee or in the case of a sale of assets of the Trust Fund, or (y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund. Such notice shall specify (A) the related Redemption Date, Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the applicable Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of such Certificates. Upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate and the Trustee shall terminate or request the Securities Administrator to terminate, the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Securities Administrator's obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment. (b) In the event that any of the affected Holders do not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall deliver any remaining funds being held by it to the Depositor and the Depositor shall, subject to applicable 88 state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section. (c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any redemption or termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund or a portion thereof shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from such liquidation of the Trust Fund. Section 7.03 Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements. (a) On the termination of the Trust Fund under Section 7.01 (a), or on the exercise of a right to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans of an Aggregate Pool under Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall comply with requirements of this Section 7.03 with respect to each Lower Tier REMIC relating to the assets to be sold (the "Affected REMIC") and with respect to the Certificates corresponding to the Affected REMIC (the "Corresponding Certificates"), unless the party having the right to purchase the assets of the Affected REMIC (the "Purchaser") delivers to the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Purchaser), addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the failure of the Trustee to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event: (i) Within 89 days prior to the time of the making the final payment on the Corresponding Certificates, (and upon notification by the Purchaser in the case of a purchase under Section 7.01(c)) the Trustee shall adopt on behalf of the Affected REMIC, a plan of complete liquidation, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions; (ii) Any sale of the assets of the Affected REMIC shall be for cash and shall occur at or after the time the plan of complete liquidation is adopted and prior to the time the final payments on the Corresponding Certificates are made; (iii) On the date specified for final payment of the Corresponding Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal and interest on the Corresponding Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and, after payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the portion of the Trust Fund (and the Affected REMIC) shall terminate at that time; and (iv) In no event may the final payment on the Corresponding Certificates or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted. (b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to accept the plan (or plans) of complete liquidation adopted by the Trustee under this Section and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer. 89 ARTICLE VIII RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS Section 8.01 Limitation on Rights of Holders. (a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the Master Servicer or the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof. (b) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing 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, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty 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 and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given such Trustee during such sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Section 8.02 Access to List of Holders. (a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may 90 reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most recent Record Date. (b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as "Applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal business hours of the Trustee to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee or shall, as an alternative, send, at the Applicants' expense, the written communication proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register. (c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. Section 8.03 Acts of Holders of Certificates. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the others of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the others. (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 the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or 91 writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. (c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, nor the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate. ARTICLE IX ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicers' and Master Servicer's Obligations. (a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers duly and punctually to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a default of which an Authorized Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default. So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Purchase and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of, or to enforce the obligations of, a Servicer under its Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Additional Collateral or any Limited Purpose Surety Bond relating thereto, including, without limitation, the collection of any amounts owing to the Trust Fund in respect thereof (unless and until the Master Servicer shall have assumed the obligations of such Servicer as successor servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01, in which case, as successor servicer, it shall be bound to serve and administer the 92 Additional Collateral and any related Limited Purpose Surety Bond in accordance with the provisions of the such Purchase and Servicing Agreement). (b) Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the rights and powers of such Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer in its capacity as Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, unless or until the Master Servicer shall have appointed, with the consent of the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, a new Fannie Mae- or FHLMC-approved Person to serve as successor to the Servicer; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master Servicer). With such consent, the Master Servicer may elect to continue to serve as successor servicer under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Upon appointment of a successor servicer, as authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee and such successor servicer shall enter into a servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such appointment, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer as it and such successor servicer shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of any successor servicer (including the Master Servicer) be in excess of that payable to the Servicer under the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including the termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney's fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such costs of enforcement, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04. If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such Servicer. (c) Upon any termination of a Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the Master Servicer or any successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded such Servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, which notice shall also specify the name and address of any such successor servicer. (d) Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall consent to the assignment by any Servicer of such Servicer's rights and obligations under the related Purchase and Servicing 93 Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Section 9.02 Assumption of Master Servicing by Trustee. (a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Purchase and Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans or shall appoint a Fannie-Mae or FHLMC-approved server as successor with servicer acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest herein and therein to the same extent as if such Purchase and Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee's assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer's obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder. (b) The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Purchase and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement to the assuming party. Section 9.03 Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that: (i) it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America as a national banking association, and as Master Servicer has full power and authority to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement and to execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Master Servicer; (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not (A) violate the Master Servicer's charter or bylaws, (B) violate any law or regulation or any 94 administrative decree or order to which it is subject or (C) constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets are subject, which violation, default or breach would materially and adversely affect the Master Servicer's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) this Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (iv) the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency to the extent that any such default would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder; (v) the Master Servicer is not a party to or bound by any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter provision, bylaw or any other corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law or regulation that may materially and adversely affect its ability as Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent of any third person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance by the Master Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement; (vi) no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement; (vii) the Master Servicer, or an affiliate thereof the primary business of which is the servicing of conventional residential mortgage loans, is a Fannie Mae- or FHLMC-approved seller/servicer; (viii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Master Servicer of or compliance by the Master Servicer with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders (if any) as have been obtained; and (ix) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer. (b) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and hold them harmless 95 against any loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a material breach of the Master Servicer's representations and warranties contained in Section 9.03(a). It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as provided in this Section constitutes the sole remedy (other than as set forth in Section 6.14) of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer hereunder, and any termination of this Agreement. Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other parties. Section 9.04 Compensation to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be paid by the Trust Fund, and either retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account, (i) its Master Servicing Fee with respect to each Distribution Date, (ii) amounts necessary to reimburse itself for any previously unreimbursed Advances, Servicer Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances in accordance with the definition of "Available Distribution Amount" and (iii) amounts representing assumption fees, late payment charges or other ancillary income not included in the definition of "Available Distribution Amount" and which are not required to be remitted by the Servicers to the Securities Administrator or deposited by the Securities Administrator into the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Distribution Account for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Master Servicer in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, as modified by the Acknowledgements (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), to the extent not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. Section 9.05 Merger or Consolidation. Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or resulting Person to the Master 96 Servicer shall be a Person that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or FHLMC and shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000. Section 9.06 Resignation of Master Servicer. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.05 and 9.07 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master Servicer's duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee. If, at any time, the Master Servicer resigns under this Section 9.06, or transfers or assigns its rights and obligations under Section 9.07, or is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, then at such time as Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. also shall resign (and shall be entitled to resign) as Securities Administrator, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Certificate Registrar under this Agreement. In such event, the obligations of each such party shall be assumed by the Trustee or such successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee (subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(a)). Section 9.07 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer. Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrading of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fees and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer. Such successor Master Servicer shall also pay the fees of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, as provided herein. Section 9.08 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others. Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action 97 taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicers except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a result of such act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have been incurred but for the negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of the Servicers in this Agreement and the Purchase and Servicing Agreements. Section 9.09 Indemnification; Third-Party Claims. The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement and the Purchase and Servicing Agreements. The Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee to indemnification under this Section 9.09, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. ARTICLE X REMIC ADMINISTRATION Section 10.01 REMIC Administration. (a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on 98 the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. (b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date. (c) The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Distribution Account, provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required by Section 6.20 and this Section. (d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare, and the Trustee shall sign and file, as instructed by the Securities Administrator, all of each REMIC's federal and appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC's direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator. In preparing such returns, the Securities Administrator shall, with respect to each Lower-Tier REMIC: (i) treat the accrual period for interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC as the calendar month; (ii) account for distributions made from the Lower-Tier REMIC as made on the first day of each succeeding calendar month; (iii) account for income under the all-OID method at the Net WAC; (iv) use the aggregation method provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (v) account for income and expenses related to the Lower-Tier REMIC in the manner resulting in the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible accruing to the Holder of the residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. (e) The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide, upon receipt of additional reasonable compensation, (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Certificateholders and the Trustee such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. 99 (f) To the extent within their control, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the written consent of the Residual Certificateholders. (g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be. (h) The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, substitution or acceptance) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or under any Purchase and Servicing Agreements or under any Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Service Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

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

The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers and trustees.
