CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;

SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

In consideration of the Issuer’s delivery of the Notes and the Owner Trust Certificates to the Depositor or its designee, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse, subject to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 2.05, all of the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans and the other assets constituting the Trust Estate. To facilitate the pledge of the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer hereby directs the Depositor to assign and deliver the Trust Estate directly to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in the Wells Fargo Custodial Agreement, it has received and shall hold the Trust Estate, as Indenture Trustee, in trust, for the bene fit and use of the Securityholders and for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Indenture. Concurrently with such receipt, the Issuer has issued and delivered the Securities to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Estate.

The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Indenture Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein. Upon the issuance of the Notes and the Owner Trust Certificate, ownership in the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Issuer, subject to the lien created by the Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders.

For purposes of complying with the requirements of the Asset-Backed Securities Facilitation Act of the State of Delaware, 6 Del. C. § 2701A, et seq. (the “Securitization Act”), each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that:

(i)

any property, assets or rights purported to be transferred, in whole or in part, by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to no longer be the property, assets or rights of the Depositor;

(ii)

none of the Depositor, its creditors or, in any insolvency proceeding with respect to the Depositor or the Depositor’s property, a bankruptcy trustee, receiver, debtor, debtor in possession or similar person, to the extent the issue is governed by Delaware law, shall have any rights, legal or equitable, whatsoever to reacquire (except pursuant to a provision of this Agreement), reclaim, recover, repudiate, disaffirm, redeem or recharacterize as property of the Depositor any property, assets or rights purported to be transferred, in whole or in part, by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement (including the Assignment Agreement);

(iii)

in the event of a bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding with respect to the Depositor or the Depositor’s property, to the extent the issue is governed by Delaware law, such property, assets and rights shall not be deemed to be part of the Depositor’s property, assets, rights or estate; and

(iv)

the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a “securitization transaction” as such term is used in the Securitization Act.

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor and the Issuer, does hereby deliver on the Closing Date, unless otherwise specified in this Section 2.01, to, and deposit with the Indenture Trustee, or the Custodian as its designated agent, the documents or instruments described in Schedule B-1 of the Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to each Mortgage Loan (a “Mortgage File”) so transferred and assigned.

In connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will take (or shall cause the Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Seller, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary to cause the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Securityholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the series of the Notes issued in connection with the transfer of such Mortgage Loans to the PHH Mortgage Trust, Series 2008-CIM1.

With respect to each Cooperative Loan the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor does hereby deliver to the Indenture Trustee (or Custodian) the related Cooperative Loan Documents and the Seller will take (or shall cause the Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer) such actions as are necessary under applicable law (including but not limited to the Uniform Commercial Code) in order to perfect the interest of the Indenture Trustee in the related Mortgaged Property.

Assignments of each Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) shall be recorded; provided, however, that such assignments need not be recorded if, in the Opinion of Counsel (which must be from Independent Counsel and not at the expense of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Master Servicer, recording in such states is not required to protect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loans; provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Seller (or the Seller will cause the Servicer to submit each such assignment for recording), at the cost and expense of the Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense to the Issuer or Indenture Trust ee, upon the earliest to occur of (1) reasonable direction by the Majority Securityholders, (2) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller or the Depositor, or (3) with respect to any one Assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable recording office), the Seller shall properly record (or the Seller will cause the Servicer to properly record), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer), in each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded, each Assignment with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan.

The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold to the Depositor by the Seller and required to be delivered to the Custodian pursuant to the Wells Fargo Custodial Agreement, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

For Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the Indenture Trustee, or to the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in the related Distribution Account have been so deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall be held by the Master Servicer or the Servicer in trust for the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Securityholders.

Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller shall have 90 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Indenture Trustee. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof.

The Depositor herewith delivers to the Indenture Trustee an executed copy of the Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of the Trust Estate.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, the Depositor hereby delivers the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” to the Indenture Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) on behalf of the Issuer and the Issuer acknowledges that such delivery will constitute receipt by the Issuer.

The Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt by it or by the Custodian on its behalf, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review set forth in the Wells Fargo Custodial Agreement and any exceptions noted on the exception report delivered pursuant to the Wells Fargo Custodial Agreement, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” and declares that, it, or the Custodian on its behalf, holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it, or the Custodian on its behalf, holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Securityholders.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee, any Custodian or the Securityholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Indenture Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of Mortgage Files, including but not limited to certain insurance policies and documents contemplated by this Agreement or the Wells Fargo Custodial Agreement, and the preparation and delivery of related certifications, shall be performed by the Custodian.

SECTION 2.03. Grant Clause

(a)

It is intended that the conveyance by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate, as provided for in Section 2.01 be construed as a sale by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate for the benefit of the Securityholders. Further, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate by the Depositor to the Issuer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate are held to be property of the Depositor or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate, then it is intended that (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a secur ity agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC (or the Uniform Commercial Code if not the New York UCC); (b) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and (C) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all Liquidation Proceeds, all Insurance Proceeds, all amounts from time to time held o r invested in the Trust Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Issuer for the transfer to the Indenture Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (C); (c) the possession by the Indenture Trustee or any other agent of the Issuer of Mortgage Notes, and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and any other Uniform Commercial Code (including, without limitation, Section 9-313, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); and (d) notifications to persons hol ding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

(b)

The Depositor and, at the Depositor’s direction, the Seller and the Issuer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust Estate, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code to perfect the Issuer’s securit y interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuer, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor or (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan.

(c)

Neither the Depositor nor the Issuer shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee. Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuer proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate transferees, including the Indenture Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture, each of the Depositor and the Issuer authorizes its im mediate transferee, including the Securities Administrator acting on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in Section 2.03(b) and this Section 2.03(c).

(d)

The Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the sale by the Depositor of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Estate and shall indicate or shall cause to be indicated in its records and records held on its behalf that ownership of each Mortgage Loan and the other property of the Issuer is held by the Issuer. In addition, the Depositor shall respond to any inquiries from third parties with respect to ownership of a Mortgage Loan or any other property of the Trust Estate by stating that it is not the owner of such Mortgage Loan and that ownership of such Mortgage Loan or other property of the Trust Estate is held by the Issuer on behalf of the Noteholders.

SECTION 2.04. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originator.

(a)

Upon discovery or receipt of written notice that a document does not comply with the requirements of Section 2.01 hereof, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Originator of any representation, warranty or covenant under its Purchase and Servicing Agreement which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Securityholders, (i) in the case of Mortgage Loan documentation that is not in compliance with Section 2.01 or is missing, the Indenture Trustee (or the Custodian as its designated agent) shall promptly notify the Originator of such noncompliance or missing document and request that the Originator deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance within 60 days from the date that the Originator was notified of such missing document or noncompliance, and if the Originator does not delive r such missing document or cure such noncompliance in all material respects during such period, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the Originator’s obligation under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement and cause the Originator to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 60 day period; provided, however, if the Originator can ultimately deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance but is not reasonably expected to be cured within such 60 day period, the Indenture Trustee shall permit the Originator an additional 30 days to deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance provided that the Originator has commenced curing or correcting such defect and is diligently pursuing same or (ii) in the case of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant with respect to a Mortgage Loan under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the party discovering such breach shall notify the Originator and the Indenture Trustee of such breach (with a copy of such notice provided to the other parties hereto) of its representation, warranty or covenant made under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and request that the Originator cure such breach within 60 days from the date it was notified of the breach and if the Originator does not cure such breach in all material respects during such period, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Originator under its Purchase and Servicing Agreement and cause it to repurchase the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Estate at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 60 day period; provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 60 day period, if the Originator shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 60 day period, the Originator shall be permitted an additional 30 days to proceed thereafter diligently and exp editiously to cure the same; and, provided further, that, in the case of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator in the Purchase and Servicing Agreement, if the Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Originator shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan or such other amount due shall be deposited in the applicable Distribution Account on or prior to the next Determination Date after the obligation of the Originator to repurchase such Mortgage Loan arises. The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of the related deposit in the applicable Distribution Account, shall cause the Custodian to release to the Originator the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer o r assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Originator may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Estate (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.04(d) below. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which su ch a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Originator respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securityholders.

The Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation of the Originator to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or any such obligation of the Originator on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant as described in this Section 2.04(a).

Any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indenture Trustee enforcing the obligations of the Originator under this Section 2.04(a) shall be reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Accounts.

(b)

If pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04(a), the Originator repurchases or otherwise removes from the Trust Estate a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Originator will take (or shall cause the Servicer to take), at the expense of the Originator (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary to either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Originator and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Originator or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

(c)

[Reserved].

(d)

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator delivering to the Indenture Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Indenture Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf), and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by the Wells Fargo Custodial Agreement (subject to the exceptions provided therein), together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution; provided, however, that, in the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Originator shall provide such documents and take such other action with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to the Wells Fargo Custodial Agreement.

Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Estate and will be retained by the Originator. For the month of substitution, payments to Securityholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the D ue Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Originator, as applicable, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Indenture Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Securityholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Estate and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Originator the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Originator all representations and warranties thereof included in the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement and all representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.07 hereof, in each case as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Originator substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Originator shall determine, and provide written certification to the Indenture Trustee as to the amount (each, a “Substitution Adjustment”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On or prior to the next Determination Date after the Originator’s obligation to repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Originator will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and an acknowledgment from the Securities Administrator of its receipt of the deposit to the related Distribution Account, shall release to the Originator, the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

SECTION 3.23. Special Foreclosure Provisions

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a)

The Servicer shall not commence either (i) foreclosure proceedings with respect to a Mortgage Loan or (ii) sell defaulted Mortgage Loans from the Issuer unless (1) no later than five Business Days prior to such action, it notifies the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates of its intention to do so, and (2) the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates, does not, within such period, affirmatively object to such action.

(b)

If the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates timely and affirmatively objects to such action, then the Servicer shall hire, at the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates’ sole cost and expense, three appraisal firms, selected by the Servicer in its sole and absolute discretion from the list of appraisal firms attached as Exhibit M, to compute the fair value of the Mortgaged Property relating to the related Mortgage Loan utilizing the Fannie Mae Form 2055 Exterior-Only Inspection Residential Appraisal Report (each such appraisal-firm computation, a “Fair Value Price”), in each case no later than 30 days from the date of the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates’ objection. If the Servicer shall have received three Fair Value Prices by the end of such 30-day period, then the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates shall, no later than 5 days after the ex piration of such 30-day period, purchase such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property at an amount equal to the sum of (i) accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan as of such purchase date (“Accrued Interest”) and (ii) the average of such three Fair Value Prices respectively determined by such appraisal firms, and shall promptly deliver such amount to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. All costs relating to the computation of the related Fair Value Prices shall be for the account of the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates and shall be paid by the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates at the time such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property are purchased by the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates. Any objection to such action shall be irrevocable by the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates, and the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates will purchase the related Mortgage Loan regardless of the Fair Value Price determined.

(c)

In the event that the Servicer has not commenced foreclosure proceedings with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is 180 days’ or more delinquent (provided that the Mortgage Loan is not in bankruptcy, is not subject to a court-ordered injunction with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, or is not subject to federal, state or local law restriction on foreclosure) the Servicer must promptly provide the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates with notice of such event (a “Delinquency Notice”) and a description of such other action as it intends to take with respect to such Mortgage Loan. The Servicer is not permitted to proceed with any such action unless the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates, does not, within five Business Days following such notice, affirmatively object to the Servicer taking such action.

(d)

If the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates timely and affirmatively objects to the Servicer’s contemplated action, then the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates shall have the right to direct the Servicer to commence foreclosure proceedings in accordance with prudent servicing standards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to foreclose on any Mortgage Loan if the Servicer has notified the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates in the Delinquency Notice that either (i) the related Mortgaged Property is located in a county designated as an individual assistance disaster area by FEMA and foreclosure is not permitted under the Servicer’s servicing policies with respect to mortgage loans contained in such area or (ii) such Mortgage Loan is the subject of a lis pendens notice and foreclosure is not permitted under the Servicer’s servicing policies with respect to mortgage loans subject to such legal proceedings. In such event, the Servicer will hire three of the appraisal firms identified in Exhibit M to compute the fair value of the Mortgaged Property relating to the related Mortgage Loan utilizing the Fannie Mae Form 2055 Exterior Only Inspection Residential Appraisal Report, in each case no later than 30 days from the date of the holder of the Owner Trust Certificate’s objection and the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates will, no later than 5 days after the expiration of such 30 day period, purchase such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property at an amount equal to the sum of (i) Accrued Interest and (ii) the average of such three Fair Value Prices respectively determined by such appraisal firms, and shall promptly deliver such amount to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. All costs relating to the computation of the related Fair Value Prices shall be for the account of the holder o f the Owner Trust Certificates and shall be paid by the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates at the time such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property are purchased by the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates. The holder of the Owner Trust Certificates will purchase the Mortgage Loan regardless of the Fair Value Price determined.

(e)

If the Servicer shall not have received three Fair Value Prices at the end of the 30-day period set forth in (b) and (c) above, then:

(i)

The Servicer shall obtain such three Fair Value Prices no later than 15 days after the end of such 30-day period.

(ii)

If the Servicer shall have only received two Fair Value Prices at the end of such 15-day extension period, then the Servicer will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the fair value of the Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage Loan, related Insurance Proceeds and the current delinquency status of such Mortgage Loan (such fair value, the “Servicer Fair Value Price”), and the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates shall, no later than 5 days after the expiration of such 15-day extension period, purchase (and deliver to the Servicer the purchase price for) such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property at an amount equal to the sum of (i) Accrued Interest thereon and (ii) the highest of such two Fair Value Prices determined by such appraisal firms.

(iii)

If the Servicer shall have received only one Fair Value Price at the end of such 15-day extension period, then the Servicer will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Servicer Fair Value Price of the Mortgaged Property related to such Mortgage Loan, and:

(A)

if such Servicer Fair Value Price is equal to or greater than the unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan as of such date (the “Unpaid Principal Balance”), then the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates shall, no later than 5 days after the expiration of such 15-day extension period, purchase (and deliver to the Servicer the purchase price for) such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property at an amount equal to the sum of (1) Accrued Interest thereon and (2) the Unpaid Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan; and

(B)

if such Servicer Fair Value Price is less than the related Unpaid Principal Balance, then the holder of Owner Trust Certificates shall, no later than 5 days after the expiration of such 15-day extension period, purchase (and deliver to the Servicer the purchase price for) such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property at an amount equal to the sum of (1) Accrued Interest thereon and (2) the related Unpaid Principal Balance (such sum, the “Preliminary Purchase Price”); provided, that the provisions of clause (d)(iv) shall thereafter apply.

(iv)

Following the payment by the holder of Owner Trust Certificates of the Preliminary Purchase Price, the Servicer shall continue to hire appraisal firms at the holder of Owner Trust Certificates’ sole cost and expense to compute the Fair Value Price of the Mortgaged Property related to such Mortgage Loan, and at such time as two such Fair Value Prices shall have been obtained:

(A)

if such Servicer Fair Value Price is equal to or greater than the Unpaid Principal Balance, then the holder of Owner Trust Certificates shall, no later than 5 days after the expiration of such 15-day extension period, purchase (and deliver to the Servicer the purchase price for) such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property at an amount equal to the sum of (1) Accrued Interest thereon and (2) the Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan; and

(B)

if the sum of (1) Accrued Interest on the related Mortgage Loan and (2) the higher of (x) the highest of such two Fair Value Prices determined by such appraisal firms and (y) the Servicer’s Fair Value Price of the Mortgaged Property related to such Mortgage Loan (such sum, the “Revised Fair Value Price”) is greater than such Preliminary Purchase Price, then the Servicer shall promptly notify the holder of Owner Trust Certificates of such calculation, and the holder of Owner Trust Certificates shall, no later than 5 days after such notice, remit to the Servicer, for deposit into the Certificate Account, the difference between such Revised Fair Value Price and such Preliminary Purchase Price; and

(C)

if such Preliminary Purchase Price is greater than such Revised Fair Value Price, then the Servicer shall promptly notify the holder of Owner Trust Certificates of such calculation, and the Servicer shall, no later than 5 days after such notice, remit to the holder of Owner Trust Certificates, from funds then on deposit in the Certificate Account, the difference between such Preliminary Purchase Price and such Revised Fair Value Price.

(v)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates shall not be entitled to any of its rights set forth herein with respect to a Mortgage Loan following its failure to purchase such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property (at the average of the three Fair Value Prices respectively determined by such appraisal firms as set forth above) during the time frame set forth above following its objection to the Servicer action.

(vi)

Any notice, confirmation, instruction or objection pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above may be delivered via facsimile or other written or electronic communication as the parties hereto and the holder of Owner Trust Certificates may agree to from time to time.

(vii)

For the avoidance of doubt, the holder of Owner Trust Certificates’ rights set forth in this Section 3.23 are intended to provide the holder of Owner Trust Certificates, for so long as it has not forfeited its right under this Section 3.23 as set forth in clause (vi) above, with the unilateral right to control foreclosure decisions in respect of delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans, and certain exclusive purchase rights so as to maximize the recovery value on delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans.

To the extent that the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates purchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.23, the servicing of such Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and the Purchase and Servicing Agreement will terminate and the servicing of the related Mortgage Loan will be transferred to a successor servicer at the direction of, and the expense of, the holder of the Owner Trust Certificate.

The Servicer, may also, in its discretion, as alternative to foreclosure, sell defaulted Mortgage Loans at fair market value to third parties, if the Servicer reasonably believes that such sale would maximize proceeds to the Trust in the aggregate (on a present value basis) with respect to that Mortgage Loan.

The Seller, so long as it is the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates, will indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Servicer in connection with, arising out of, or relating to any foreclosure proceedings instituted by the Servicer at the direction of the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.23. The Seller, so long as it is the holder of the Owner Trust Certificates, will reimburse the Servicer for the cost of the appraisal firms set forth on Exhibit M selected by the Servicer and any other reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in connection with this Section 3.23.

SECTION 3.24. Uniform Commercial Code.

The Securities Administrator agrees to file continuation statements for any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements identifying the Issuer as debtor which the Depositor has informed the Securities Administrator in writing were filed on the Closing Date in connection with the Issuer, provided that the Securities Administrator receives the related filing information on a timely basis. The Depositor shall file any financing statements or amendments thereto required by any change in the Uniform Commercial Code.

From and after the date the Master Servicer (and the Indenture Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects 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 and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Master Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Master Servicer or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is leg ally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 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; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Master Servicer shall not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Notes by each Rating Agency as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency (which letter shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee). Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption , the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Master Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.14. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05, nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b)

Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the Master Servicer as Master Servicer shall during the term of its service as Master Servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Securityholders, and maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.04.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Master Servicer to act as successor Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

SECTION 7.03. Waiver of Event of Default.

The Majority Securityholders may, on behalf of all Securityholders, by notice in writing to the Indenture Trustee, direct the Indenture Trustee to waive any events permitting removal of any Master Servicer under this Agreement, provided, however, that the Majority Securityholders may not waive an event that results in a failure to make any required payment on a Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note. Upon any waiver of an Event of Default, such event shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to each Rating Agency.

SECTION 7.04. Notification to Securityholders.

(a)

Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to any Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VII or Section 3.34, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee, if the Master Servicer is also the Note Registrar and Securities Administrator, shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register and to each Rating Agency.

(b)

No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders notice of such occurrence unless such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured.

SECTION 7.05. Action Upon Master Servicer Event of Default.

If an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, the Indenture 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs, unless the Indenture Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, in which case it shall use the same degree of care and skill as the Master Servicer hereunder with respect to the exercise of the rights and powers of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default or any other event or matter that may require it to take action or omit to take action hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office obtains act ual knowledge of such failure or the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such Event of Default.

SECTION 7.06. Additional Remedies of Indenture Trustee Upon Event of Default.

In case an Event of Default or a default by the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders under this Agreement, as the case may be, by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.
