The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

COUNTY OF
)
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1.
The undersigned is an officer of ______________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the Certificate) issued pursuant to Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the Agreement) among the Depositor, DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc., as seller (in such capacity, the Seller), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., as servicer (in such capacity, the Servicer) and as special collections servicer (in such capacity, SPS or a Special Collections Servicer), Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager (the Credit Risk Manager) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the Trustee). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transf eree has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2.
The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3.
The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4.
The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a pass-through entity holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a pass-through entity includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-throu gh entities as a nominee for another Person.)
5.
The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6.
The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as EXHIBIT J to the Agreement (a Transferor Certificate) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7.
The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate.
8.
The Transferees taxpayer identification number is [_____________].
9.
The Transferee is a United States Person.
10.
The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a noneconomic residual interest within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11.
In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2001-12, I.R.B. 2001-2,
(a)
the consideration paid to the Transferee for accepting the Class R Certificates is greater than the present value of the anticipated net federal income taxes and tax benefits (Tax Liability Present Value) associated with owning such Certificates, with such present value computed suing a discount rate equal to the applicable federal rate prescribed by Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (with all applicable computations done in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2001-12) or, to the extent it is not, if the Transferee has asserted that it regularly borrows, in the ordinary course of its trade or business, substantial funds from unrelated third parties at a lower interest rate than such applicable federal rate and the consideration paid to the Transferee is greater than the Tax Liability Present Value using such lower interest rate as the discount rate, the transactions with the unrelated third party lenders, the interest rate or rates, the date or dates of such transactions, and the maturity dates or, in the case of adjustable rate debt instruments, the relevant adjustment dates or periods, with respect to such borrowings, are accurately stated in Exhibit A to this letter; or
(b)
the Transferee (i) is an eligible corporation as defined in Section 860L(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, as to which the income of Class R Certificates will only be subject to taxation in the United States, (ii) has, and has had in each of its two preceding fiscal years, gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the transferee within the meaning of Section 860L of the Internal Revenue Code) in excess of $100 million and net assets of $10 million, and (iii) hereby agrees only to transfer the Certificate to another corporation meeting the criteria set forth in this letter.
12.
That the Owner:
(a) is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) an entity whose underlying assets include such plans or arrangements assets (a Plan), or any other person purchasing any Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such Plan (a Benefit Plan Investor);
