THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of June 1, 2006, among MORTGAGE ASSET SECURITIZATION TRANSACTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), UBS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES INC., a Delaware corporation, as transferor (the “Transferor”), WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“Wells Fargo”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), as trust administrator (in such capacity, the “Trust Administrator”) and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”).

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. The Trust Fund is being conveyed to the Trustee to create a trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Trust Fund for federal income tax purposes shall consist of three REMICs (the “Subsidiary REMIC”, the “Middle REMIC” and the “Master REMIC”). The “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The Subsidiary REMIC shall consist of all of the assets constituting the Trust Fund corresponding to Collateral Group 1, Collateral Group 2 and Collateral Group 3 (exclusive of the Class P Prepayment Charges) and shall be evidenced by the uncertificated interests set forth below that shall be designated as REMIC regular interests (the “Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests”). In addition, the Subsidiary REMIC shall issue the Class A-LR Certificate and shall designate such interest as its sole class of residual interest.

The Middle REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated REMIC regular interests issued by the Subsidiary REMIC. The Middle REMIC shall issue the Class R-2 interest and shall designate such interest as its sole class of residual interest. In addition, the Middle REMIC shall issue the uncertificated REMIC regular interests set forth below for the Middle REMIC (the “Middle REMIC Regular Interests”).

The Master REMIC shall consist of the Middle REMIC Regular Interests and shall be evidenced by the Classes of Certificates set forth below for the Master REMIC (which, except for the Exchangeable Certificates and the Class P, Class A-LR and Class A-UR Certificates, shall represent the “regular interests” in the Master REMIC) and the Class R-3 Interest as the single “residual interest” in the Master REMIC. The Class A-UR Certificate shall not be considered a Certificate issued by the Master REMIC, but instead shall represent beneficial ownership of the Class R-2 and Class R-3 interests.

Subsidiary REMIC:

The Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests, each of which is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest for federal income tax purposes, shall have the following principal balances, pass-through rates and corresponding Collateral Groups in the manner set forth in the following table:

REMIC Interests	Initial Balance	Pass- Through Rate	Corresponding Collateral Group
LT1-1	(1)	6.250%	1
LT2-1	(1)	6.250%	1
LT3-1	(1)	6.250%	1
LT1-2	(1)	6.500%	2
LT2-2	(1)	6.500%	2
LT3-2	(1)	6.500%	2
LT1-3	(1)	5.500%	3
LT2-3	(1)	5.500%	3
LT3-3	(1)	5.500%	3
LT-15-A-X	(2)	(3)	3
LT-30-A-X	(2)	(4)	2
LT-PO	(5)	0.000%	1,3

____________________

(1)

Each LT1 Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Group Subordinate Amount of its corresponding Collateral Group or Groups. Each LT2 Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of its corresponding Collateral Group. The initial principal balance of each LT3 Interest shall equal the excess of the Group Balance of its corresponding Collateral Group or Groups over the sum of (i) the initial principal balances of the LT1 and LT2 Interests corresponding to such Collateral Group or Groups, (ii) the portion of the LT-PO Interest attributable to the Discount Loans in the Collateral Group or Groups corresponding to such LT3 Interest, and (iii) in the case of Collateral Group 1 the principal balance of the Class A-LR Certificate.

(2)

This Subsidiary REMIC interest shall not have any principal balance.

(3)

The LT-15-A-X Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest accrued at the related Stripped Interest Rate on each Non-Discount Mortgage Loan in Collateral Group 3.

(4)

The LT-30-A-X Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest accrued at the related Stripped Interest Rate on each Non-Discount Mortgage Loan in Collateral Group 2.

(5)

The LT-PO Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the initial principal balance of the Class PO Certificate.

Unless a Cross-over Situation (as defined below) exists, principal and Realized Losses arising with respect to each Collateral Group shall be allocated first to cause the LT1 and LT2 interests corresponding to such Collateral Group or Groups to equal 0.9% and 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of such Collateral Group or Groups as of such Distribution Date and all excess principal and Realized Losses shall be allocated to the LT3 interest corresponding to such Collateral Group or Groups. A LT1, LT2 or LT3 interest that is allocated principal on any Distribution Date shall receive such principal, and have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such principal, on such Distribution Date. Similarly, a LT1, LT2 or LT3 interest that is allocated a Realized Loss on any Distribution Date shall have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such Realized Loss on such Distribution Date.

A “Cross-over Situation” exists if on any Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) the LT1 and LT2 interests corresponding to any Collateral Group or Groups are in the aggregate less than 1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of the Collateral Group or Groups to which they correspond. In the event that a Cross-Over Situation exists on any Distribution Date, and the weighted average rate of the outstanding LT1 and LT2 interests related to a Class of Subordinate Certificates is less than the Pass-Through Rate for such class of Subordinate Certificates, a Principal Relocation Payment (as defined below) shall be made proportionately to such outstanding LT1 interests prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Collateral Group or Groups. In the event that a Cross-Over Situatio n exists on any Distribution Date, and the weighted average rate of the outstanding LT1 and LT2 interests related to a Class of Subordinate Certificates is greater than the Pass-Through Rate for such class of Subordinate Certificates, a Principal Relocation Payment shall be made proportionately to such outstanding LT2 interests prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Collateral Group. A “Principal Relocation Payment” is a distribution of principal that causes the Calculation Rate (as defined below) on the outstanding LT1 and LT2 interests related to a Class of Subordinate Certificates to equal the Pass-Through Rate for such class of Subordinate Certificates. The “Calculation Rate” shall equal the product of (i) 10 and (ii) the weighted average rate of the outstanding Class LT1 and Class LT2 interests related to a Class of Subordinate Certificates, treating each Class LT1 interest as capped at zero or reduced by a fixed percentage of 100% of the interest ac cruing on such class. Principal Relocation Payments shall be made from principal received on the Mortgage Loans from the related Collateral Group or Groups and shall also consist of a proportionate allocation of Realized Losses from the Mortgage Loans of the related Collateral Group or Groups. For purposes of making Principal Relocation Payments, to the extent that the principal received during the Collection Period from the related Collateral Group and Realized Losses are insufficient to make the necessary reduction of principal, then interest shall accrue on the LT3 interest related to a Collateral Group or Groups (and be added to their principal balances) that are not receiving a Principal Relocation Payment to allow the necessary Principal Relocation Payment to be made.

If a Cross-Over Situation exists, the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the related LT1 and LT2 interests shall not be reduced below one percent of the aggregate Group Balance of the related Collateral Group or Groups as of the end of any Collection Period in excess of the Senior Certificates related to such Collateral Group as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date). To the extent this limitation prevents the distribution of principal to the LT1 and LT2 interests of a Collateral Group and the related LT3 interest has already been reduced to zero, such excess principal from the other Collateral Group or Collateral Groups shall be paid proportionately to the LT3 interests of the Collateral Group or Groups whose aggregate LT1 and LT2 interests are less than one percent of the Gr oup Subordinate Amount. Any such shortfall as a result of the Collateral Group or Groups receiving the extra payment having a Ratio-strip Rate (as defined below) lower than the weighted average Ratio-strip Rate of the Collateral Group from which the payment was relocated shall be treated as a Realized Loss and if excess arises as a result of the Collateral Group receiving the extra payment having a Ratio-strip Rate higher than the Collateral Group from which the payment was relocated it shall reimburse the Middle REMIC for prior Realized Losses. The “Ratio-strip Rate” for each Collateral Group shall be equal to 6.250% for Collateral Group 1, 6.500% for Collateral Group 2 and 5.500% for Collateral Group 3.

The Class LT-PO Interest shall be entitled to receive the PO Principal Distribution Amount for Collateral Groups 1 and 3.

Middle REMIC:

The Middle REMIC Regular Interests, each of which is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest for federal income tax purposes, shall have the following principal balances and pass-through rates in the manner set forth in the following table:

Middle REMIC Interests	Initial Balance	Pass- Through Rate	Corresponding Class in the Master REMIC
MT-1-A-1	(3)	6.250%	1-A-1
MT-1-A-2	(3)	6.250%	1-A-2

_______________

(1)

The Class MT-15-A-X shall not have a principal balance. The Class MT-15-A-X shall be entitled to the excess interest on the Non-Discount Mortgage Loans in Collateral Group 3, which excess corresponds to 100% of the distributions on the LT-15-A-X interest issued by the Subsidiary REMIC.

(2)

The Calculation Rate, which rate equals the product of (i) 10 and (ii) the weighted average rate of the outstanding Class LT1 and Class LT2 interests corresponding to each Collateral Group, treating each such Class LT1 interest as capped at zero or reduced by a fixed percentage of 100% of the interest accruing on such Class. The Calculation Rate is designed to always equal the Pass-Through Rate of each class of the Subordinate Certificates.

(3)

The initial principal balance of each of these Middle REMIC Regular Interests shall equal the initial Class Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates.

(4)

The Class MT-30-A-X shall not have a principal balance. The Class MT-30-A-X shall be entitled to the excess interest on the Non-Discount Mortgage Loans in Collateral Groups 2, which excess corresponds to 100% of the distributions on the LT-30-A-X interest issued by the Subsidiary REMIC.

Each Middle REMIC Regular Interest shall receive principal distributions and allocations of Realized Losses equal to those for its corresponding class in the Master REMIC.

___________

(1)

This Class shall be issued in uncertificated form and shall constitute an Uncertificated REMIC Interest.

(2)

The Class 30-A-X Certificates are Interest Only Certificates, will not be entitled to distributions in respect of principal and will bear interest on the related Notional Amount (initially $8,143,764).

(3)

The Class 15-A-X Certificates are Interest Only Certificates, will not be entitled to distributions in respect of principal and will bear interest on the related Notional Amount (initially $3,296,743).

(4)

The Class PO Certificates are Principal Only Certificates and will not be entitled to distributions in respect of interest.

(5)

Interest will accrue on the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of (i) 6.250% for the Loans, or portions thereof, contributing to Collateral Group 1, (ii) 6.500% for the Loans, or portions thereof, contributing to Collateral Group 2, and 5.500% for the Loans in Collateral Group 3, weighted on the basis of the portion of the aggregate principal balance of the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates attributable to each such Collateral Group. The per annum Pass-Through Rate on the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates for the first Interest Accrual Period is 6.39%.

(6)

The Class P Certificates do not have an aggregate principal balance and shall not be entitled to distributions in respect of principal or interest. The Class P Certificates shall be entitled to Class P Prepayment Charges collected. The Class P Certificates do not represent an interest in any REMIC created hereby.

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of the Class P Prepayment Charges) to flow through to the Master 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 party identifying any ambiguity or drafting error shall notify each of the parties hereto, and shall, in accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement, attempt to resolve any ambiguities or correct any drafting errors to accomplish such intention.

Section 1.02

Certain Calculations.

Unless otherwise specified herein, for purposes of determining amounts with respect to the Certificates and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, all calculations of interest (other than as provided in the Mortgage Loan documents) provided for herein shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30 day months.

Section 1.03

Calculation of Applicable Fractions.

For purposes of determining Collateral Group 1 and Collateral Group 2, each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be allocated, based on the Net Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut off Date, either to Collateral Group 1 or Collateral Group 2 only, or between both Collateral Group 1 and Collateral Group 2, based on a fixed fraction that differs among Mortgage Loans (in each case, the “Applicable Fraction”), such that the principal of and interest on such Pool 1 Mortgage Loan is treated as if that Mortgage Loan were two loans bearing interest at two different effective Net Mortgage Rates, one higher than and one lower than the original Net Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan. The allocation of a Pool 1 Mortgage Loan to Collateral Group 1 or Collateral Group 2 shall not change based on a modification to the Net Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Cut- off Date. The Applicable Fractions are calculated as follows:

(a)

Pool 1 Mortgage Loans with Net Mortgage Rates Less Than or Equal To 6.250%: Each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan having a Net Mortgage Rate less than 6.250% shall be allocated to Collateral Group 1.

(b)

The Applicable Fraction for the portion of each such Pool 1 Mortgage Loan allocated to Collateral Group 1 is the quotient of (a)(i) 6.500% minus (ii) the related Net Mortgage Rate divided by (b) 0.250%. The Applicable Fraction for the portion of each such Pool 1 Mortgage Loan allocated to Collateral Group 2 is (I) 1 minus (II) the quotient of (a)(i) 6.500% minus (ii) the related Net Mortgage Rate divided by (b) 0.250%.

(c)

Pool 1 Loans with Net Mortgage Rates Equal to or Greater Than 6.500%: Each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan having a Net Mortgage Rate equal to or greater than 6.500% shall be allocated to Collateral Group 2.

(“MERS”) or its designee, no assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer is the applicable Servicer, the Trustee upon receipt of written notice that the records of MERS have not been so changed) shall enforce the obligations of the applicable Servicer under its related Servicing Agreement to cause the Trustee to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for the purpose of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.

If in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (b)(i)(B), (C) or (E) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (b)(i)(B) or (C) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to either the Custodian or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (b)(i)(E) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Custodian, in the case of clause (b)(i)(B) or (C) above, such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the publi c recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date, or, in the case of clause (b)(i)(E) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Custodian as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Custodian (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor to the Custodian. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Custodian shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Transferor shall deliver to the Custodian a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recordi ng office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

As of the date hereof, recordation is not required in any state by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial rating on the Certificates (upon which statement the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian may each conclusively rely).

In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the Collection Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof.

(c)

The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express trust (the “Issuing Entity”) to be known, for convenience, as “MASTR Alternative Loan Trust 2006-3” and The Bank of New York is hereby appointed as Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 2.02

Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification issued by it in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G and declares that it holds and will hold such related documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and the Custodian and Trustee together declare that it holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Custodian acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes held by it in the State of Minnesota, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Trustee.

The Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian acknowledges, subject to any applicable exceptions noted on Exhibit G, that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to (i) inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) determine whether the Mortgage File should include any of the documents spe cified in Section 2.01(b)(i)(D) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan and Section 2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.

Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Transferor a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. The Custodian shall make available, upon request of any Certificateholder, a copy of any exceptions noted on the Initial Certification or the Final Certification. The Custodian shall make available, upon request of the Trustee, the identity of the originator for any Mortgage Loan with a material exception.

If, in the course of such review, the Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a related Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note, (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates or (iii) the Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(i)(D) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan and Section 2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Loa n, unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.

Upon receiving each Final Certification from the Custodian, the Transferor shall determine if there are any document defects listed as exceptions in such Final Certification. In the event any such document defects exist, the Transferor shall promptly correct or cure such document defects, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure the defect within ninety (90) days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from the Trustee, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Transferor shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be pa id by the Transferor to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit, the Master Servicer shall instruct the Custodian to release, and the Custodian shall release, the related Mortgage File to the Transferor and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor’s written request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Transferor, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing such repurchase by the Transferor.

The Custodian shall retain possession and custody of each related Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each of the related Servicers to promptly deliver to the Custodian who shall thereupon promptly deposit within each Mortgage File, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the related Servicers from time to time.

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Transferor hereunder to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedies respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any Certificateholder.

Section 2.03

Remedies for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

The Transferor hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date. With respect to any of the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule II hereto which are made to the best of the Transferor’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Transferor, any Servicer or the Trust Administrator that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Transferor’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of th e applicable representation or warranty.

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.03 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties hereto. A breach which causes a Mortgage Loan not to constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, will be deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan. Upon receiving notice of a breach, the Trustee shall in turn notify the Transferor of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Transferor in accordance with this Section 2.03 to correct or cure any such breach of a representation or warranty made herein, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor’s obligations hereunder to (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price or (ii) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Trustee’s obligations to prosecute legal actions against the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 8.02(vi) regarding reimbursement of or reasonable indemnification for costs and expenses. In each case, such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) will be removed from the Trust Fund.

The Transferor hereby covenants that within ninety (90) days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03 which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such ninety (90) day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans into the Trust Fund, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below. The Transferor shall promptly reimburs e the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach by the Transferor.

With respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Transferor shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made on any day in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.

With respect to substitutions made by the Transferor, Scheduled Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Transferor on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Transferor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Custodian shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee.

In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this Agreement, subject to the prior two sentences, and with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, informat ion and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.04 and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Collection Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph and to the extent the related Servicer does not make such advance, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Scheduled Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b)

The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as successor Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged 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 such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal pro secution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c)

To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servic ing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection Account.

(e)

If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.

If a Servicer fails to make its required payment of Compensating Interest on any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer will be required to make such payment of Compensating Interest to the same extent that such Servicer was required to make such payment of Compensating Interest.

(g)

To the extent a Servicer is obligated under the related Servicing Agreement to procure the consent of the Master Servicer in connection with the Servicer’s engagement of a Subservicer to perform any servicing responsibilities under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will only give such consent if that Subservicer first agrees in writing with such Servicer and the Master Servicer to deliver an Annual Statement of Compliance, an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permit that Servicer and the Master Servicer to comply with Sections 3.21 and 3.22 of this Agreement.

(h)

The Master Servicer shall enforce any negative covenant in the related Servicing Agreement which prohibits a Servicer from outsourcing one or more separate servicing functions under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans to any Subcontractor unless that Subcontractor first agrees in writing with such Servicer and the Master Servicer to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permits that Servicer and the Master Servicer to comply with Section 3.22 of this Agreement.

(ii)

Prior to the Cross-Over Date, to the extent any Group 1 PO Deferred Amount and Group 3 PO Deferred Amount have not been paid from Group 1 Available Funds and Group 3 Available Funds, respectively, the available Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for the Subordinate Certificates shall be applied to pay any such PO Deferred Amounts.

(iii)

If on any Distribution Date, one or more Certificate Groups is an Undercollateralized Group, the available Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for the Subordinate Certificates shall be paid to such Undercollateralized Group or Groups as principal to the Senior Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group or Groups in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i) until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates of each such Undercollateralized Group equals the related Group Balance of the related Collateral Group (net of the Group 1 PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of each Discount Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Group, if any). If more than one such Certificate Group is an Undercollateralized Group, the available Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for the Subordinate Certificates shall be distributed bet ween such Undercollateralized Groups pro rata based on the outstanding balances of the respective Certificate Groups.

(iv)

On or after the date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of all of the Senior Certificates in any Certificate Group have been reduced to zero, amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinate Certificates, up to the applicable Apportioned Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, shall be paid pro rata as principal to the remaining Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Group or Groups in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i), provided that on such Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for the Subordinate Certificates for such Distribution Date is less than twice the initial Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for the Subordinate Certificates or (b) the average outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more over the last six months (including delinquent Mortgage Loans i n bankruptcy, and all Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and REO Properties) as a percentage of the Group Subordinate Amount is greater than or equal to 50%.

(v)

Any application of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount pursuant to the preceding paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) will reduce distributions to the Subordinate Certificates of such amount in reverse order of priority pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i) priority fourth.

On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses and the allocation of such total amount as set forth below. Realized Losses occurring on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated as follows:

(i)

the applicable PO Percentage (with respect to Collateral Group 1, multiplied by the related Applicable Fraction) of any Realized Loss on any Discount Mortgage Loan, including any Excess Loss, shall be allocated to the Class PO Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class PO Certificates is reduced to zero; and

(ii)

the applicable Non-PO Percentage, with respect to Collateral Group 1 and Collateral Group 2, multiplied by the Applicable Fraction, of any Realized Loss with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation) until the respective Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero, and second to the Senior Certificates of the related Certificate Group (other than the Interest Only and the Class PO Certificates) pro rata based upon their respective Certificate Principal Balances after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class has been red uced to zero; provided, however, that (A) the losses allocable to the Class 1-A-2 and Class 1-A-3 Certificates under this paragraph will instead be allocated to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates (in addition to other losses allocated to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates), pro rata, until their respective Certificate Principal Balances have been reduced to zero, and (B) the losses allocable to the Class 2-A-3 and Class 2-A-4 Certificates under this paragraph will instead be allocated to Class 2-A-5 Certificates (in addition to other losses allocated to the Class 2-A-5 Certificates), until their respective Certificate Principal Balances have been reduced to zero; and

(iii)

the applicable Non-PO Percentage (with respect to Collateral Group 1 and Collateral Group 2, multiplied by the Applicable Fraction) of any Excess Losses occurring on any Mortgage Loan contributing to any Collateral Group shall be allocated among (A) (1) the Group 1 Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Mortgage Loan contributing to Collateral Group 1, (2) the Group 2 Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Mortgage Loan contributing to Collateral Group 2 and (3) the Group 3 Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Pool 2 Mortgage Loan (other than the Class PO Certificates and the Interest Only Certificates in the case of the Group 1 Certificates and Group 2 Certificates, respectively); and (B) each Class of Subordinate Certificates, pro rata based upon their respective Certificate Principal Balances after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date of the Group Subordinate Amount for the Collateral Group which incurred the Excess Loss); and

(b)

The Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any payments on the Class PO Certificates in respect of any PO Deferred Amounts pursuant to Section 4.02(a) priority third, sub-clause (ii), and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Certificate Principal Balances of all outstanding Classes of Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 Certificates (other than the Interest Only and Class PO Certificates) and Subordinate Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans) exceeds the Aggregate Pool Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date, less any Deficient Valuations occurring before the Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount has been reduced to zero and less the PO Percentage of any Discount Mortgage Loans; and

(c)

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or (b) above shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificate immediately following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance with the definition of “Certificate Principal Balance” herein; provided that no Realized Loss with respect to any Collateral Group shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of a Senior Certificate in any Certificate Group (other than the Class PO Certificates) to the extent that such allocation would reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all of the Senior Certificates (other than the Interest Only and Class PO Certificates) and Subordinate Certificates to an amount less than the Aggregate Pool Principal Balan ce for the following Distribution Date minus any related Deficient Valuations occurring before the Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Termination Date and minus the PO Percentage of any Discount Mortgage Loans (such limitation, the “Loss Allocation Limitation”).

(d)

Prior to the Cross-Over Date, with respect to any Non-PO Recoveries received during the related Prepayment Period with respect to any Mortgage Loans, the Certificate Principal Balance of one or more Classes of Certificates that have previously had Realized Losses allocated, will be increased, as follows:

(ii)

second, up to the amount of the Non-PO Recoveries related to each Collateral Group remaining after allocation pursuant to the preceding clause (i), the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Subordinate Certificates, in order of seniority, will be increased, by the amount of the excess, if any, of (x) unrecovered Realized Losses previously allocated to each such Class, if any, over (y) amounts previously applied to the increase of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class pursuant to this Section 4.03(d)(ii)(4).

(e)

With respect to any Distribution Date on or after the Cross-Over Date, the Trust Administrator shall distribute the amount of any Recovery on a Mortgage Loan received during the calendar month prior to that Distribution Date as follows:

Section 5.01

The Certificates.

The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit A through F. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.

Subject to Section 10.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trust Administrator shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust Administrator by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trust Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trust Administrator by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.

The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trust Administrator on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.

Section 5.02

Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

The Trust Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trust Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required by the Trust Administrator.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the Trust Administrator’s customary procedures.

(b)

(i) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer (other than the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) shall certify to the Trust Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit J (the “Transferor Certificate”). Further, such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee will either (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of e ither Exhibit K (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit L (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) deliver to the Trust Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor, in accordance with the Depositor’s request, in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor, to the extent in its possession, such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(ii) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made (other than to the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) unless the Trust Administrator shall have received in accordance with Exhibit K or Exhibit L (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate) or paragraph 13 of Exhibit I (in the event such Certificate is a Residual Certificate), in form and substance satisfactory to such Trust Administrator (i) a representation that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, or a person acting for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such plan or arrangement, (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate which is the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insuran ce company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trust Administrator to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in non-exempt prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Transferor or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement. For purposes of the p receding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trust Administrator by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Classes. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to ERISA or the Code in violation of the above restrictions shall be void and of no effect.

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trust Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(c)

Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trust Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(ii)

No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trust Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trust Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Trust Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee (other than the Depositor of an affiliate thereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

(iii)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

(iv)

Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the pro visions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trust Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Trust Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

(v)

The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Trust Administrator, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trust Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Transferor or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trus t Administrator, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(d)

The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.

(e)

Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trust Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain Book-Entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trust Administrator shall deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the right s of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trust Administrator may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.

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

If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor notifies the Trust Administrator in writing, with the consent of the applicable Depository Participants, that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trust Administrator and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a Book-Entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners and the Depository Partici pants consent to the termination, the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of notice of such event, shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trust Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trust Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trust Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitiv e Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trust Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trust Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.

Section 5.03

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator, or the Trust Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trust Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trust Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be i mposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trust Administrator and its counsel) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.04

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee nor any agent of the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 5.05

Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.

If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trust Administrator, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trust Administrator, then the Trust Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trust Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trust Administrator s hall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 5.06

(i)

(ii)

The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee or the Trust Administrator by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates; or

(iii)

There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or

In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Termination with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and (i) at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates or (ii) if such Master Servicer Event of Termination is related to a failure by the Master Servicer to make any Advance required to be made by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, in each case by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities accruing prior to the date of termination) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof; provided, however, with respec t to a Master Servicer Event of Termination set forth in clause (vi), the Depositor, at its sole option, but with the consent of the Trustee, may permit a cure period for the Master Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Accountant’s Attestation, but in no event later than March 25 of such year. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Agreements, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 7.02, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all document s 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.

In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agree ment, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination.

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating such Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(i) through (xi), and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

Section 7.02

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to investment income on all funds to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled in the Collection Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee ha s become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act, or if it has been requested in writing by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates to do so, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $ 15,000,000, and which is willing to master service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.05 hereof, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connectio n with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor master servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the compensation permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor master servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. 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 or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

Any successor master servicer as Master Servicer shall give notice to the Servicers of such change of master servicer and shall, during the term of its service as master servicer enforce the requirement of the Servicers to maintain in force the policy or policies pursuant to Section 3.11.

The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer of master servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses (including but not limited to personnel time) associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Issuing Entity and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.10(b)(iii); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Issuing Entity for any such expense incurred by the Issuing Entity.

Section 7.03

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)

Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee (or the Trust Administrator on its behalf) shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.

(b)

Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Master Servicer Event of Termination hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, unless such Master Servicer Event of Termination shall have been cured or waived.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.01

Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Termination that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred and remains uncured or unwaived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs, but only until such time as a successor Master Servicer shall have been appointed hereunder.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement to the extent that forms of such documents have been provided to the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such non-conforming instrument in the event the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instr ument.

The Trustee or successor trust administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the duties of the Trust Administrator from the predecessor Trust Administrator, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all trust administrator data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such trust administrator data as may be required by the Trustee or successor trust administrator to correct any errors or insufficiencies in such trust administrator data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or successor trust administrator to perform the duties of the Trust Administrator properly and effectively.

The Trustee, as successor Trust Administrator, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Trust Administrator Compensation. To the extent such Trust Administrator Compensation is less than the current market rate that the Trustee would charge for providing similar trust administrator services in a similarly structured transaction, as mutually determined by the Trustee and the successor Master Servicer at the time the Trustee becomes the successor Trust Administrator, the successor Master Servicer, out of its own funds, shall pay the Trustee, as successor Trust Administrator, additional compensation in an amount equal to the difference between the Trust Administrator Compensation and such current market rate for such trust administrator services, as separately negotiated by the successor Master Serv icer and the Trustee at the time the Trustee becomes the successor Trust Administrator.

The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trust administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trust administrator all such right s, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor trust administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates, as confirmed in writing by each Rating Agency.

Upon acceptance by a successor trust administrator of appointment as provided in this Section 9.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trust administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates.

Section 9.11

Tax Matters.

It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.

(a)

prepare, submit to the Trustee for execution, and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption;

(b)

apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for such REMIC and within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;

(c)

make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law);

(d)

provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i)-(iv) of the definition thereof, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a non-Permitted Transferee (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax);

(e)

to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;

(f)

not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status;

(g)

not permit the creation of any interests in such REMIC other than as set forth in the Preliminary Statement;

(h)

not receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement);

(i)

receive any income attributable to any asset which is neither a “qualified mortgage” nor a “permitted investment” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions;

(j)

not receive any contributions to such REMIC after the Startup Day that would be subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code;

(k)

not dispose of any assets of such REMIC at a gain if such disposition would be a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code;

(l)

pay, from the sources specified in the next to last paragraph of this Section 9.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from causing the withholding of payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);

(m)

ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and

(n)

maintain records relating to such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information.

The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class A-LR Certificates shall act as “tax matters person” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) for the Subsidiary REMIC and the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class A-UR Certificates shall act as “tax matters person” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) for each remaining REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer is hereby designated as agent of such Class A-LR or Class A-UR Certificateholder for such purposes (or if the Master Servicer is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the tax matters person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Master Servicer shall, as and when necessary and appropriate, represent the related REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.

In order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Master Servicer within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Master Servicer requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damage s, claims or expenses of the Master Servicer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Master Servicer that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer on a timely basis.

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Transferor, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Transferor’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iii) in all other case s, or in the event that the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Transferor fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.10(b).

The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, consisting of the Class P Prepayment Charges, shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a "grantor trust" under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service together with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished the respective amounts described above to the Class P Certificateholders, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

Any disclosure in addition to the Distribution Date Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit T hereto to the Depositor and Trust Administrator and be directed and approved by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Trust Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Fo rm 10-D Disclosure, except to the extent of its obligations set forth in the next paragraph.

(ii)

For so long as the Issuing Entity is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) certain parties set forth on Exhibit T shall be required to provide to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Trust Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. Wells Fargo, in its capacity as the Trust Administrator only, has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit T of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trust Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.

(iii)

After preparing the Form 10-D, the Trust Administrator shall use its reasonable best efforts to forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review no later than 10 calendar days after the related Distribution Date; provided that the Trust Administrator shall only be required to forward such Form 10-D to the Depositor, where such Form 10-D contains Additional Form 10-D Disclosure. No later than the 12^th calendar day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Trust Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Trust Administrator may proceed with the process for execution and filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Trust Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 9.12(d)(ii). Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trust Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Trust Administrator. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 9.12 related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 9.12.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or any Servicer, Custodian or Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D , not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

The Depositor hereby represents to the Trust Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days.

(iv)

Each Form 10-K shall include a certification (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Certification”), as set forth in Exhibit N attached hereto, required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In the event that the Trust Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trust Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and Form 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A and Form 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trust Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended in connection with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than, in the case of Form 10-D, for the purpose of restating any Distribution Date Statement).

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by each of the Mas ter Servicer and the Trust Administrator of its duties under this Section 9.12(d) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or any servicer, the Custodian, or any Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(a)

The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the purchase, in accordance with this Section 10.01, of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at the price equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan Price for all the Mortgage Loans and (y) the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price for all the REO Properties, and (ii) the later of (x) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (y) the distribution to the Holders of the Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts cre ated hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The right of the Master Servicer to elect to exercise its termination rights pursuant to this clause (a) shall be conditioned upon the Aggregate Pool Principal Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

(b)

Within two (2) Business Days after the Master Servicer has elected to exercise its termination rights pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Master Servicer shall deliver a bid notice for the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties to UBS Securities LLC and at least two other institutions that are regular purchasers and/or sellers in the secondary market of residential whole Mortgage Loans. The bid notice shall specify the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties that are being sold, and identify the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price required to be paid for the REO Properties and the other information necessary for the bidders to make bids. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to submit a bid for the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties. All bids must be submitted to the Master Servicer on a date determined by the Master Servicer, which date shall be set forth in the bid not ice. Only cash bids may be accepted. With respect to the Mortgage Loans to be purchased, if one or more bids that exceed the aggregate Par Call Price are received, the Fair Market Value Call Price for the Mortgage Loans shall be equal to the price bid by the highest bidder, and such bidder shall complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties from the Trust Fund at the aggregate Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan Price for the Mortgage Loans and the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price for the REO Properties before the final Distribution Date. With respect to the Mortgage Loans to be purchased, if fewer than three bids are received or no bid exceeds the aggregate of the Par Call Price for the Mortgage Loans, the Fair Market Value Call Price shall be zero and the Master Servicer shall complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties from the Trust Fund at the aggregate Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan Price for the Mortgage Loans and the aggregate Clean-up Call REO P roperty Price for the REO Properties before the final Distribution Date.

Section 10.02

Final Distribution on the Certificates.

If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trust Administrator promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to exercise its termination rights pursuant to clause (a) of Section 10.01, at least 5 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trust Administrator of the date the Master Servicer intends to exercise its termination rights.

Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, or of the exercise of the Master Servicer’s termination rights, specifying the Distribution Date on which related Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trust Administrator by letter to related Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later than the 5th day of the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the related Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (c) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distr ibution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trust Administrator will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to related Certificateholders.

Upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each related Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.02 hereof, all amounts required to be distributed to it pursuant to Section 4.02 and, in the case of the Certificateholders of the same Class, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Certificate Principal Balance thereof plus (a) accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing Certificate and (b) any Group 1 PO Deferred Amount and Group 3 PO Deferred Amount, as applicable, in the case of the Class PO Certificates, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retai ned to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.

In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trust Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator may take reasonable steps, or may appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets of the Master REMIC which remain subject hereto, and then the Class A-LR and Class A-UR Certificateholders as the beneficial owner of the residual interest issued by the REMICs created under this Agreement shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of each related REMIC created under this Agreement, which remain subject hereto, and Certificateholders who have not surrendered Certificates shall look only to such Class A-LR and Class A-UR Certificateholders with respect to any such unclaimed funds and other assets.

Section 10.03

Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)

In the event of the purchase pursuant to Section 10.01, the Subsidiary REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trust Administrator has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03(a) will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in section 860F of the Code on any REMIC created under this Agreement, or (ii) cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(i)

The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 10.02 shall provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation of the Subsidiary REMIC as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which the first such notice is mailed to Certificateholders). The Master Servicer shall also specify such date in a statement attached to the final tax return of the Subsidiary REMIC created under this Agreement; and

(ii)

At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the Subsidiary REMIC to the purchaser specified in Section 10.01 for cash at the purchase price specified in Section 10.01 and shall distribute such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the manner specified in Section 10.02.

(b)

Upon the purchase pursuant to Section 10.01, if no other REMIC would remain outstanding following such purchase, each remaining REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trust Administrator has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03(b) will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in section 860F of the Code on any REMIC created under this Agreement, or (ii) cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(i)

The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 10.02 shall provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation of each remaining REMIC as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which the first such notice is mailed to Certificateholders). The Master Servicer shall also specify such date in a statement attached to the final tax return of each remaining REMIC; and

(ii)

At or after the time of adoption of any such plan of complete liquidation for each such remaining REMIC and at or prior to the final Distribution Date of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Trust Administrator shall sell all of the assets of each such remaining REMIC for cash.

(c)

By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof hereby agrees to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to liquidate and otherwise terminate any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Custodian, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in the Prospectus Supplement, (iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Transferor, the Custodian or the Master Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust Administr ator (which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the party requesting the amendment, or if the Trust Administrator requests the amendment, the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Transferor, the Custodian, the Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agre ement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC created under this Agreement as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trust Administrator has been provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code. In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Transferor, the Custodian and the Trustee without the consent of the Certificateholders to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Custodian, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, and with the consent of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in the preceding clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66% or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement (other than pursuant to the second preceding paragraph) unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not cause the imposition of any tax under the REMIC Provisions on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

Section 11.07

Assignment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 6.02 and this Section 11.07, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Master Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.
