The office of the Trust shall be in the care of the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to the Residual Certificateholders, the Insurer and the Sponsor.

(ii) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Owner Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and for the benefit of the Insurer and to hold, manage and distribute to the Residual Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement any portion of the Owner Trust Estate released from the Lien of, and remitted to the Trust pursuant to, the Indenture;

(iii) with the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, to pay the organizational, start-up and transactional expenses of the Trust and to pay the balance to the Sponsor pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement;

(iv) to enter into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party;

(v) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and

(vi) subject to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in such other activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the Owner Trust Estate and the making of distributions to the Noteholders and the Residual Certificateholders.

The Trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. The Trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement or the Basic Documents.

SECTION 2.4. Appointment of Owner Trustee.

The Sponsor hereby appoints the Owner Trustee as trustee of the Trust effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein.

SECTION 2.5. Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate; Capital Accounts.

(a) The Sponsor hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Owner Trustee, as of the date hereof, the sum of $1 in exchange for which the Owner Trustee shall issue to the Sponsor the Class G Certificate. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Sponsor, as of the date hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Owner Trust Estate evidenced by the Class G Certificate and shall be deposited in the Distribution Account. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee will also, upon receipt thereof, acknowledge on behalf of the Trust receipt of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Sponsor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise or shall, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, promptly reimburse the Owner Trustee for any such expenses paid by the Owner Trustee. The Sponsor’s payment of such amounts will not increase the Class Principal Balance of the Class G Certificates.

(b) The Trust will create and maintain capital accounts for the Class B Certificateholders and Class G Certificateholders, reflecting therein all contributions by such

holders and allocations of income and loss and withdrawals and distributions. The initial capital account for the Class B Certificateholders shall reflect capital of zero upon issuance and for the Class G Certificateholders shall reflect capital of $1 upon issuance. The Indenture Trustee shall perform the obligations of the Trust in this Section 2.5(b) pursuant to Section 6.23 of the Indenture.

SECTION 2.6. Declaration of Trust.

The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Residual Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax purposes, the Trust shall be treated as a partnership in which the holders of the Class G Certificates and the holders of the Class B Certificates are partners and that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust as a partnership for such tax purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and to the extent not inconsistent herewith, in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. The Owner Trustee shall file the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State.

No Holder shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Trust.

SECTION 2.8. Title to Trust Property.

(a) Legal title to all the Owner Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

(b) The Holders shall not have legal title to any part of the Trust Property. The Holders shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to their undivided ownership interest therein only in accordance with the Basic Documents. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest by any Residual Certificateholder of its ownership interest in the Owner Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust Property.

SECTION 2.9. Situs of Trust.

The Trust will be located in the State of Delaware and administered in the States of Delaware and Illinois. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of Illinois. Payments will be received by the Trust

only in Delaware or Illinois and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware or Illinois. The Trust shall not have any employees in any state other than Delaware; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or any agent of the Trust from having employees within or without the State of Delaware. The principal office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in Delaware.

SECTION 2.10. Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor.

The Sponsor makes the following representations and warranties on which the Owner Trustee relies in accepting the Owner Trust Estate in trust and issuing the Notes and the Residual Certificates and upon which the Insurer relies in issuing the Policy.

(b) It is duly qualified to do business as a foreign company in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property, the conduct of its business and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the Basic Documents requires such qualification;

(c) The Sponsor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; this Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Sponsor, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Sponsor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles; the Sponsor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust and the Sponsor has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by the Sponsor by all necessary action;

(d) No consent, license, approval or authorization or registration or declaration with, any Person or with any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents, except for such as have been obtained, effected or made;

(e) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of formation or operating agreement of the Sponsor, or any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Sponsor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the Sponsor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Sponsor of any court or of any Federal or state regulatory body, administrative

agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Sponsor or its properties; and

(f) There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to its knowledge threatened against it before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Sponsor or its properties (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the Residual Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect its performance of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, or (D) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the Notes or the Residual Certificates.

SECTION 2.11. Federal Income Tax Allocations

(a) Neither the Owner Trustee nor any Residual Certificateholder will, under any circumstances, and at any time, make an election on IRS Form 8832 or otherwise, to classify the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, state or any other applicable tax purpose.

(b) The Issuer will compute net income or net loss (and each item of income, gain, loss, and deduction entering into the computation thereof) monthly as of the Record Date for such month for the period beginning on the immediately preceding Payment Date and ending on and inclusive of such Record Date. The Issuer will separately compute the items described in section 702(a) of the Code, including gains and losses from sales and exchanges of capital assets held for more than one year, and gains and losses from capital assets held for less than one year. During the Managed Amortization Period, the amounts so computed will be allocated solely among the Class B Certificateholders based on their relative percentage interests in the Class B Certificates. During the Rapid Amortization Period, except as provided in clause (d) below, the amounts so calculated will be allocated between the Class G Certificateholder and the Class B Certificateholders based on their relative Class Principal Amounts as of the immediately preceding Payment Date, after taking into account the allocations of income, gain, deduction, and loss and any distribution occurring on such immediately preceding Payment Date. Amounts allocated to the Class B Certificates will be further allocated among the Class B Certificateholders in accordance with their percentage interests in the Class B Certificates.

(c) During the Managed Amortization Period, the Issuer will treat the “interest” paid to the Class G Certificateholder on the Additional Balance Contributed Amount as a guaranteed payment under section 707(c) of the Code, and therefore, and item of deduction for the Issuer.

(d) Upon termination of the Trust in accordance with Section 7.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, in connection with making final distributions to each class of Residual Certificateholders, the Trust will modify the allocations set forth in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of a majority in interest of the Class B Certificateholders and

the Class G Certificateholders, to fairly reflect the economic income, gain, deduction, or loss of each class of Residual Certificateholders.

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall perform the obligations of the Issuer in this Section 2.11 pursuant to Section 6.23 of the Indenture.

SECTION 2.12. Covenants of the Sponsor.

The Sponsor agrees and covenants for the benefit of each Residual Certificateholder, the Insurer and the Owner Trustee, during the term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that:

(a) it shall not create, incur or suffer to exist any indebtedness or engage in any business, except, in each case, as permitted by its certificate of formation, its operating agreement and the Basic Documents;

(b) it shall not, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to the bankruptcy of the Trust, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of the property of the Trust or cause or permit the Trust to make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing the inability of the Trust to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on the debt of the Trust or take any action in furtherance of any such action;

(c) it shall obtain from each counterparty to each Basic Document to which it or the Trust is a party and each other agreement entered into on or after the date hereof to which it or the Trust is a party, an agreement by each such counterparty that prior to the occurrence of the event specified in Section 10.1(e) such counterparty shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, it or the Trust, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States; and

(d) it shall not, for any reason, withdraw or attempt to withdraw from this Agreement, dissolve, institute proceedings for it to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of it or a substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on its debt or take any action in furtherance of any such action.

SECTION 2.13. Covenants of the Residual Certificateholders.

Each Residual Certificateholder agrees:

(a) to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Residual Certificates and of this Agreement, including any supplements or amendments hereto and to perform the obligations of a Residual Certificateholder as set forth therein or herein, in all respects as if it were a signatory hereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer and all other Residual Certificateholders present and future;

(b) to hereby appoint the Sponsor as such Residual Certificateholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact to sign any federal income tax information return filed on behalf of the Trust, if any, and agree that, if requested by the Trust, it will sign such federal income tax information return in its capacity as holder of an interest in the Trust. Each Residual Certificateholder also hereby agrees that in its tax returns it will not take any position inconsistent with those taken in any tax returns that may be filed by the Trust;

(c) if such Residual Certificateholder is other than an individual or other entity holding its Residual Certificate through a broker who reports securities sales on Form 1099-B, to notify the Owner Trustee of any transfer by it of a Residual Certificate in a taxable sale or exchange, within 30 days of the date of the transfer; and

(d) until the completion of the events specified in Section 10.1(e), not to, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust or the Sponsor to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Sponsor or the Trust or a substantial part of its property, or cause or permit the Sponsor or the Trust to make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on its debt or take any action in furtherance of any such action.

Except as provided in Section 2.13, and notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no Residual Certificateholder other than the Sponsor in its capacity as the “Sponsor” shall be deemed to have adopted, be bound by, or succeed in any way to any representation by, or duty of indemnification by or any other duty of, the Sponsor, including those contained in Sections 2.10, 2.12, 4.6, 9.2 or elsewhere herein.

ARTICLE III

[Reserved]

ARTICLE IV

Ownership of Trust Property; Residual Certificates and Transfer of Interests

SECTION 4.1. Trust Property Ownership.

Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 2.5, the Owner Trustee, contemporaneously therewith, having full power, authority, and authorization to do so, has executed, authenticated, dated, issued, and delivered, in the name and on behalf of the Trust, one (1) or more Residual Certificates representing in the aggregate a 100% interest in the

Trust, and has registered such Residual Certificate(s) on the Certificate Register. The Residual Certificates shall be issued in two classes, Class B and Class G. Such Residual Certificate(s) are duly authorized, validly issued, and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. The Sponsor shall at all times keep and own a Class G Certificate representing no less than a 1% Percentage Interest, and at no time will the Sponsor sell or alienate its interest represented by Class G Certificates in such a way as to reduce its aggregate beneficial ownership in the Class G Certificates to less than a 1% Percentage Interest.

SECTION 4.2. The Residual Certificates.

Each Class of Residual Certificates shall be issued in minimum Percentage Interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof. The Residual Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. Residual Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Residual Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Residual Certificates. A transferee of a Residual Certificate shall become a Residual Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Residual Certificateholder, hereunder, upon due registration of such Residual Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 4.4.

SECTION 4.3. Authentication of Residual Certificates.

Concurrently with the initial sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Residual Certificates to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Sponsor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer without further action by the Sponsor, in authorized denominations. No Residual Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Residual Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (with respect to a Residual Certificate), executed by the Owner Trustee, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Residual Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Residual Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

SECTION 4.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Residual Certificates.

The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 4.8, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of Residual Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Residual Certificates as herein provided. The Owner Trustee shall be the initial Certificate Registrar and shall provide the Indenture Trustee the names and addresses of each holder of a Residual Certificate upon request.

In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Residual Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Residual Certificate, specifically acknowledges that it has no right to or interest in any monies at any time held in the Trust Estate prior to the release of such monies pursuant to Section 8.7(b)(xiv) of the Indenture, as appropriate, such monies being held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that it is ever determined that the monies held in the Trust Estate constitute a pledge of collateral, then the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be considered to constitute a security agreement and the Sponsor and the Residual Certificateholders hereby grant to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer a first priority perfected security interest in such amounts. In addition, each Residual Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Residual Certificate hereby appoints the Sponsor as its agent to pledge a first priority perfected security interest in the Trust Estate, and any amounts held therein from time to time to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and agrees to execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance, assignment, grant, confirmation, etc., as well as any financing statements, in each case as the Insurer shall consider reasonably necessary in order to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Mortgage Loans.

SECTION 4.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Residual Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Residual Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Residual Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Residual Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Residual Certificate, a new Residual Certificate, respectively, of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Residual Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee 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 connection therewith. Any duplicate Residual Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Residual Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 4.6. Persons Deemed Residual Certificateholders.

Every Person by virtue of becoming a Residual Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement and the rules and regulations of the Certificate Registrar shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of a Residual Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Insurer, may treat the Person in whose name any Residual Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Residual Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Insurer nor any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Insurer shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 4.7. Access to List of Residual Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.

The Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Insurer, within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a request therefor from such Person in writing, a list, of the names and addresses of the Residual Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Holders of Residual Certificates or one or more Holders of a Class of Residual Certificates evidencing not less than 25% by Percentage Interest of such Class apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Residual Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Residual Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Residual Certificateholders. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Residual Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer or any agent thereof accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 4.8. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Owner Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Residual Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Residual Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates its corporate trust administration office located at Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware ###-###-####, Attention: GPHE 2004-3 for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor, the Residual Certificateholders and the Insurer of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 4.9. ERISA Restrictions.

The Residual Certificates may not be acquired or transferred to a transferee, other than the Sponsor or its affiliate, for, or on behalf of (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA whether or not subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA), (ii) a plan (as defined in Section 4975 (e) (1) of the Code whether or not subject to Section 4975 of the Code) or (iii) any entity deemed to hold the assets of the foregoing (each, a “Benefit Plan”). Each prospective transferee, other than the Sponsor or its affiliate, shall represent and warrant to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar that it is not a Benefit Plan, in accordance with Exhibit C hereto. By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interests in its Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

SECTION 4.10. Restrictions on Transfer of Residual Certificates.

(a) The Residual Certificates shall be assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, financed, hypothecated or otherwise conveyed (collectively, for purposes of this Section 4.10 and any other Section referring to the Residual Certificates, “transferred” or a “transfer”) only in accordance with this Section 4.10.

(b) Each prospective transferee of a Residual Certificate, other than the Sponsor, shall represent and warrant, in writing, to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that:

(i) Such Person is (A) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is aware that the seller of such Residual Certificate may be relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and is acquiring such Residual Certificate for its own account or for the account of one or more qualified institutional buyers for whom it is authorized to act or (B) a Person involved in the organization or operation of the Trust or an affiliate of such Person within the meaning of Rule 3a-7 of the 1940 Act, as amended (including, but not limited to, the Sponsor).

(ii) Such Person understands that such Residual Certificate has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is (A) a “qualified institutional buyer” or (B) a Person involved in the organization or operation of the Trust or an affiliate of such Person, in each case in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or that is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

(iii) Such Person shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.9, as applicable, relating to the ERISA restrictions with respect to the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Certificate.

(c) Except with respect to the initial transfer of the Class B Certificates to Terwin Advisors LLC (or its affiliate) and the first transfer of the Class B Certificates by Terwin Advisors LLC (or its affiliate), no pledge or transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be effective unless such purchase or transfer is (i) to a single beneficial owner and (ii) accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer or the Sponsor, to the effect that (a) such pledge or transfer will not cause the Trust to be treated for federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation, a taxable mortgage pool, or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation and (b) such pledge or transfer will not jeopardize the status of the Notes as debt for all purposes.

(d) No transfer, including any pledge, of Residual Certificates shall be effective, and the purported transferor shall continue to be regarded as the beneficial owner of the Residual Certificates, if, as a result of the transfer (or pledge), there would be more than 80 beneficial owners of Certificates. For purposes of applying this restriction, if the registered holder of Certificates is a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax

purposes), a grantor trust, or an S corporation, the Certificates shall be treated as being beneficially owned by the partners, beneficiaries, or shareholders. The Owner Trustee and Certificate Registrar shall be under no obligation to determine the number of such beneficial owners. The transferee or pledgee shall certify in writing to the Owner Trustee and Certificate Registrar the number of such partners, beneficiaries and shareholders, and the Owner Trustee and Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely on such certifications. Moreover, to ensure that the Issuer will not become subject to payment of U.S. withholding tax, any transfer of Certificates to a person other than a U. S. person is prohibited.

(e) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Section 4.10 and only with respect to the first transfer of the Class B Certificates from Terwin Advisors LLC or its affiliate, the Class B Certificates may be transferred to an affiliate of Terwin Advisors LLC that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

SECTION 4.11. Distributions on Residual Certificates.

(i) with respect to any Payment Date during the Managed Amortization Period, to the Class B Certificateholders; and

(ii) with respect to any Payment Date during the Rapid Amortization Period, concurrently, to the Class B Certificateholders and the Class G Certificateholders, pro rata based on their respective Class Principal Balance; provided, however, that the Class G Certificateholders shall have no right to such distributions unless all unpaid and unreimbursed Expenses due and owing to the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Basic Documents (including Section 9.2 herein) shall have been paid from such amounts available for distribution to the Class G Certificates.

provided, further, on the Payment Date on which the Redemption Price is distributed, the portion, if any, of the Redemption Price equal to the Class Principal Balance of the Class G Certificates shall be distributed pursuant to this Section 4.11(a) to the Class G Certificateholders and the portion, if any, of the Redemption Price equal to the Class Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates shall be distributed pursuant to this Section 4.11(a) to the Class B Certificateholders, as applicable.

(b) With respect to each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee, to the extent the Servicer has provided the related Servicing Certificate to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, shall deliver or make available the Servicing Certificate for such Payment Date to each Residual Certificateholder.

(b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Instructing Party requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any instruction of the Instructing Party received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Residual Certificateholders and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Instructing Party requesting instruction and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances)

it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Residual Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect.

The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such persons and according to such opinion not contrary to this Agreement or any Basic Document.

SECTION 8.5. Not Acting in Individual Capacity.

Except as provided in this Article VII, in accepting the trusts hereby created Wilmington Trust Company acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity and all Persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Basic Document shall look only to the Owner Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

SECTION 8.6. Owner Trustee Not Liable for Notes, Residual Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes and the Residual Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Notes and the Residual Certificates, respectively), shall be taken as the statements of the Sponsor and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Basic Document, of the Notes (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Notes) or of the Residual Certificates, (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Residual Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Mortgage Loan or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Owner Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Residual Certificateholders under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgage Loan; the existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and contents of any

Mortgage Loan on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan; the compliance by the Sponsor, the Servicer or any other Person with any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.

SECTION 8.9. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions.

Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary, neither Wilmington Trust Company or any successor thereto, nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will, even after the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee in accordance with Section 11.5 hereof, (i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto); or (iii) subject Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto) to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto) or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby.

Termination of Trust Agreement

SECTION 10.1. Termination of Trust Agreement.

(a) This Agreement and the Trust shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan (including

the redemption by the Optional Redemption Holder at its option of the Notes as described in Section 7.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such Mortgage Loans as provided in the Basic Documents or (ii) the payment to Residual Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture and the payment to the Insurer of all amounts payable or reimbursable to it pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Insurance Agreement; provided, however, that the rights to indemnification under Section 9.2 and the rights under Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of the Trust. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Insurer of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section 10.1. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Residual Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle such Residual Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(b) Except as provided in clause (a), neither the Sponsor nor any other Residual Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.

(c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date upon which the Residual Certificateholders shall surrender their Residual Certificates to the Owner Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to the Residual Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Residual Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Residual Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Residual Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee therein specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Indenture Trustee at the time such notice is given to the Residual Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Residual Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Residual Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.11(a) herein.

In the event that all of the Residual Certificateholders shall not surrender their Residual Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Residual Certificateholders to surrender their Residual Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Residual Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Residual Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Residual Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement.

Successor Owner Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees

SECTION 11.1. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee.

The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation (i) satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; (ii) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; (iii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authorities; (iv) having (or having a parent which has) a rating of at least A3 by Moody’s or A-1 by Standard & Poor’s ; and (v) acceptable to the Insurer in its sole discretion. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.2.

SECTION 11.2. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee.

The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Sponsor (or in the event that the Sponsor is not the sole Residual Certificateholder, the Holders of Residual Certificates evidencing not less than a majority in each class), the Insurer and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Sponsor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 11.1 herein, by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and with additional copies to the successor Owner Trustee and the Insurer provided that the Sponsor shall have received written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the proposed appointment will not result in an increased capital charge to the Insurer by either of the Rating Agencies. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or the Insurer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Sponsor, or

if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Sponsor with the consent of the Insurer may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Sponsor shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Sponsor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 11.1 herein, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed, one copy to the Insurer and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and the Sponsor shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee, if not previously paid by the Trust.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 11.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Sponsor shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in addition to any other method of removal of the Owner Trustee contained herein, upon a proposal made pursuant to Section 5.2 and the subsequent consent of Residual Certificateholders representing no less than a 66-2/3% Percentage Interest of each Class, the Owner Trustee may be removed as Owner Trustee, subject to the consent of the Insurer, which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Owner Trustee is removed pursuant to this paragraph, the provisions of this Agreement, including Article X herein, shall apply as if the Owner Trustee had resigned hereunder.

SECTION 11.3. Successor Owner Trustee.

Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 11.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Insurer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Sponsor and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 11.1.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to all Residual Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Servicer shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

SECTION 11.4. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee.

Any corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 11.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer.

SECTION 11.5. Appointment of Co-Owner Trustee or Separate Owner Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee and the Insurer to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee subject to the approval of the Insurer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 11.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 11.3.

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such

jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

(iii) the Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner 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 or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. 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 Owner 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 Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Insurer.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

To help the United States (“U.S.”) government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity who opens an account. Accordingly, the Sponsor and the Servicer must provide to the Indenture Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company their legal name, principal place of business, local office, or other physical location street address, and government issued identification number. If you are a United States entity, such number will be your U.S. taxpayer identification number. If you are a non-U.S. entity, such number will be a taxpayer identification number or a number and country of issuance of any other government-issued document evidencing nationality or residence. If you are a non-U.S. entity and do not have a government-issued identification number, you must provide a copy of a government-issued document which certifies the existence of your business. In addition, Wilmington Trust Company or the Indenture Trustee may request, and you agree to promptly provide to us, copies of documentation which substantiates your identity. Such documentation may include, but is not limited to, financial statements, government licenses, certified copies of formation documents or identification documentation of principals claiming to represent you.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Trust Agreement to be duly executed by their respective officers hereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

Residual Certificateholder

OWNER TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Residual Certificates referred to in the within-mentioned Trust Agreement.


WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY,
not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee

By:
		Authenticating Agent

The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of , 200 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Sponsor and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

This Residual Certificate is one of the duly authorized Residual Certificates designated as “GreenPoint Home Equity Loan Asset Backed Certificates, Class ” (herein called, together with the GreenPoint Home Equity Loan Asset Backed Certificates, Class , the “Residual Certificates”). Also issued by the Trust under the Indenture is one class of Notes designated as Class A Notes (the “Notes”). These Residual Certificates are issued under and are subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Residual Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes a pool of certain adjustable rate home equity revolving credit line loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) (including any Additional Balances related thereto).

Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the th day of each month or, if such th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (the “Payment Date”), commencing on , 200 , to the Person in whose name this Residual Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Payment Date (the “Record Date”) such Residual Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest in the amount to be distributed to Residual Certificateholders on such Payment Date.

The holder of this Residual Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Residual Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

The holder of this Residual Certificate, by acceptance of this Residual Certificate, specifically acknowledges that it has no right to or interest in any monies at any time held in the Trust Estate prior to the release of such monies pursuant to Section 8.7(b)(xiv) of the Indenture, such monies being held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that it is ever determined that the monies held in the Trust Estate constitute a pledge of collateral, then the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be considered to constitute a security agreement and the holder of this Residual Certificate hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer a first priority perfected security interest in such amounts. In addition, each Residual Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Residual Certificate, hereby appoints the Sponsor as its agent to pledge a first priority perfected security interest in the Reserve Fund and agrees to execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance, assignment, grant, confirmation, etc., as well as any financing statements, in each case as the Insurer shall consider reasonably necessary in order to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Property.

In the event that the Residual Certificates are held by more than one Holder, it is the intent of the Sponsor, the Servicer, and the Residual Certificateholders that, for purposes of Federal income taxes, the Trust will be treated as a partnership and the Residual

Certificateholders will be treated as partners in that partnership. The Sponsor and any other Residual Certificateholders, by acceptance of a Residual Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Residual Certificates for such tax purposes as partnership interests in the Trust. Each Residual Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Residual Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Trust or the Sponsor, or join in any institution against the Trust or the Sponsor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Residual Certificates, the Certificates, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

Distributions on this Residual Certificate will be made as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture by the Owner Trustee by wire transfer to the Residual Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Residual Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Residual Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Residual Certificate at the office or agency maintained for the purpose by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Residual Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

The Residual Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Sellers, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Residual Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein, in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and in the Indenture. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Sponsor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Sponsor, by any Residual Certificateholder upon written request.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Sponsor and the rights of the Residual Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Sponsor and the Owner Trustee with the prior written consent of the Insurer and with the consent of the holders of the Notes and the Residual Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the outstanding Notes and the Residual Certificates. Any such amendment shall be conclusive and binding upon the holder of this Residual Certificate and on all future holders of this Residual Certificate and of any Residual Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Residual Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances,

without the consent of the holders of any of the Residual Certificates (other than the Sponsor, or the Insurer).

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Residual Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Residual Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Residual Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Wilmington Trust Company.

The Residual Certificates are issuable only as registered Residual Certificates without coupons in minimum Percentage Interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Residual Certificates are exchangeable for new Residual Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, or the Insurer may treat the person in whose name this Residual Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Residual Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Sponsor may at its option redeem the Notes at a price and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in Section 7.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and if all of the Notes are redeemed, such redemption may result in termination of the Trust which may effect a transfer of the Residual Certificates; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Residual Certificate or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Residual Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Residual Certificate to be duly executed.
