Rate REMIC II Principal Reduction Amounts: For any Distribution Date, the amounts by which the principal balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4, respectively will be reduced on such Distribution Date by the allocation of Realized Losses and the distribution of principal, determined as follows: For purposes of the succeeding formulas the following symbols shall have the meanings set forth below: Y1 = the principal balance of the REMIC II Regular Interest LT1 after distributions on the prior Distribution Date. Y2 = the principal balance of the REMIC II Regular Interest LT2 after distributions on the prior Distribution Date. Y3 = the principal balance of the REMIC II Regular Interest LT3 after distributions on the prior Distribution Date. Y4 = the principal balance of the REMIC II Regular Interest LT4 after distributions on the prior Distribution Date (note: Y3 = Y4). ΔY1 = the REMIC II Regular Interest LT1 Principal Reduction Amount. ΔY2 = the REMIC II Regular Interest LT2 Principal Reduction Amount. ΔY3 = the REMIC II Regular Interest LT3 Principal Reduction Amount. ΔY4 = the REMIC II Regular Interest LT4 Principal Reduction Amount. P0 = the aggregate principal balance of REMIC II Regular Interests LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses on the prior Distribution Date. P1 = the aggregate principal balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses to be made on such Distribution Date. ΔP = P0 - P1 = the aggregate of the REMIC II Regular Interests LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4 Principal Reduction Amounts. = the aggregate of the principal portions of Realized Losses to be allocated to, and the principal distributions to be made on, the Certificates on such Distribution Date (including distributions of accrued and unpaid interest on the Class SB Certificates for prior Distribution Dates). R0 = the REMIC II Net WAC Rate (stated as a monthly rate) after giving effect to amounts distributed and Realized Losses allocated on the prior Distribution Date. R1 = the REMIC II Net WAC Rate (stated as a monthly rate) after giving effect to amounts to be distributed and Realized Losses to be allocated on such Distribution Date. α = (Y2 + Y3)/P0. The initial value of (alpha) on the Closing Date for use on the first Distribution Date shall be 0.0001. γ0 = the lesser of (A) the sum for all Classes of Certificates other than the Class SB Certificates and Class IO Certificates of the product for each Class of (i) the monthly interest rate (as limited by the REMIC II Net WAC Rate, if applicable) for such Class applicable for distributions to be made on such Distribution Date and (ii) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance for such Class after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses on the prior Distribution Date and (B) R0*P0. γ1 = the lesser of (A) the sum for all Classes of Certificates other than the Class SB Certificates and Class IO Certificates of the product for each Class of (i) the monthly interest rate (as limited by the REMIC II Net WAC Rate, if applicable) for such Class applicable for distributions to be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date and (ii) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance for such Class after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses to be made on such Distribution Date and (B) R1*P1. Then, based on the foregoing definitions: ΔY1 = ΔP - ΔY2 - Y3 - Y4; ΔY2 = (α/2){(γ0R1 - γ1R0)/R0R1}; ΔY3 = (αΔP - ΔY2; and ΔY4 = ΔY3. if both ΔY2 and ΔY3, as so determined, are non-negative numbers. Otherwise: (1) If ΔY2, as so determined, is negative, then ΔY2 = 0 ΔY3 = α{γ1R0P0 - γ0R1P1}/{γ1R0}; ΔY4 = ΔY3; and ΔY1 = ΔP - ΔY2 - ΔY3 - ΔY4. (2) If ΔY3, as so determined, is negative, then ΔY3 = 0; ΔY2 = α{γ1R0P0 - γ0R1P1}/{2R1R0P1 - γ1R0}; ΔY4 = (DELTA)Y3; and ΔY1 = ΔP - ΔY2 - ΔY3 - ΔY4.

Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer the Custodian's Certification, substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any exceptions noted thereto. SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Depositor. (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer, the Custodian and the Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof: (i) The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority (corporate and other) necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement. (ii) The Depositor has the full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Sale Agreement and has duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action on its part, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement; and this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law. (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement by the Depositor, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Depositor and will not (A) result in a material breach of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Depositor or (B) materially conflict with, result in a violation or acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it may be bound or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor; and the Depositor is not in breach or violation of any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may materially impair the Depositor's ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement. (iv) No litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Depositor's knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. (v) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor with, this Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, the Depositor has obtained the same. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, claims, liens, mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest, defenses or counterclaims. (b) (i) The representations and warranties of the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans contained in the Sale Agreement were made as of the Closing Date. The Trustee acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(v)) under any circumstances. (ii) The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties to the parties hereto as to the Mortgage Loans on which the Trustee is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Mortgage Loans. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, but shall survive until the termination of this Agreement. Such representations and warranties shall not be waived by any of the parties to this Agreement: (A) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction) in the Mortgage Loans in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. (B) The Mortgage Loans constitute "instruments" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction. (C) The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. (D) The Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans to the sale of the Mortgage Loans hereunder to the Trustee. (E) The Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Mortgage Loans granted to the Trustee hereunder. (F) Other than the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. Debtor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it. (G) The Custodian has in its possession all original copies of the Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Notes that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Trustee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Trustee in connection herewith describing the Mortgage Loans contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the secured party as more fully described in, and subject to the terms of, the related transaction documents." (iii) The Depositor hereby covenants to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee created by this Agreement. (c) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Seller under the Sale Agreement that adversely and materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charges or the interests of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery of such breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller under the Sale Agreement, the Seller, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, is obligated to either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) within the two year period following the Closing Date, substitute a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the event of discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of the Seller, the Trustee shall enforce its rights under the Sale Agreement for the benefit of Certificateholders. In the event that such breach relates solely to the unenforceability of a Prepayment Charge, amounts received in respect of such indemnity up to the amount of such Prepayment Charge shall be distributed pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i). Any such substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit I and shall not be effected unless it is within two years of the Startup Day. As provided in the Sale Agreement, the Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Custodian, the Servicer and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Custodian, the Servicer and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the terms of the Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund or any REMIC provided for herein, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup day" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (ii) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Sale Agreement provides that if the Seller is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations. With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, or by the Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the principal portion of the funds received by the Servicer in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and the Servicer shall notify the Trustee of its receipt of the same. The Custodian, upon written receipt of notice from the Servicer of its receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, or upon receipt of the Mortgage File for a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, shall release or cause to be released and the Trustee shall reassign to the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor or the Seller (pursuant to the Sale Agreement), as applicable, must deliver to the Custodian the Mortgage File for the Replacement Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01 along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing the granting language set forth in Section 2.01; and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall review the Mortgage File with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan and certify to the Depositor that all documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and received. For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution and the aggregate Prepayment Charges with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loans is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) and aggregate Prepayment Charges of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, an amount equal to the aggregate of the deficiencies described in the preceding sentence (such amount, the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to any unreimbursed costs, penalties and/or damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan of any predatory or abusive lending law shall be remitted by the Seller to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations that no substitution of a Replacement Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not (A) affect adversely the status of any REMIC established hereunder as a REMIC, or of the related "regular interests" as "regular interests" in any such REMIC, or (B) cause any such REMIC to engage in a "prohibited transaction" or prohibited contribution pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall cause the Mortgage Loan Schedule to be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement base on information provided to the Servicer. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders 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 Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Servicer and the Trustee. Upon such substitution by the Seller, such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Sale Agreement as of the date of substitution. (d) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and indemnification (i) set forth in this Section 2.03 and (ii) of the Seller and the Depositor set forth in the Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by the Depositor hereunder shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. (e) The Depositor shall deliver a copy of the Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Servicer on the Closing Date. SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Servicer and the Trustee.

(iv) The Servicer is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for Fannie Mae and is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for Freddie Mac. (v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, threatened, against the Servicer that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. (vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of, or compliance by the Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, the Servicer has obtained the same. (vii) The Servicer has fully furnished (for the period it serviced the Mortgage Loans), in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company on a monthly basis. (viii) Each Mortgage Loan, during the time period it has been serviced by the Servicer, has been serviced in all material respects in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, disclosure and recording laws and all anti-predatory, abusive and fair lending laws and the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and other loan documents. (ix) Each Mortgage Loan, during the time period it has been serviced by the Servicer, has been serviced in accordance with accepted servicing practices. (b) The Trustee hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Depositor and the Servicer, as of the Closing Date: (i) The Trustee is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the federal laws of the United States of America and has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good standing in each of the states where a Mortgaged Property is located if the laws of such state require licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of the type conducted by the Trustee. The Trustee has power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform in accordance herewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) by the Trustee and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, evidences the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Trustee, except as enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (B) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(iv) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the actual knowledge of the Trustee, threatened against the Trustee which, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Trustee, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Trustee to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the Trustee contemplated herein, or which would materially impair the ability of the Trustee to perform under the terms of this Agreement. SECTION 2.05. Substitutions and Repurchases of Mortgage Loans which are not "Qualified Mortgages". Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Depositor shall, at the Depositor's option, either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03. The Trustee, upon the written request of the Depositor, shall reconvey to the Depositor the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03. SECTION 2.06. Authentication and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has caused to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee in authorized denominations evidencing ownership of the entire Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform its duties set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the best of its abilities, to the end that the interests of the Holders may be adequately and effectively protected. SECTION 2.07. REMIC Elections. (a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat all REMICs created hereunder as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The REMIC I Regular Interests shall be designated as the "regular interests" and the Class R-I Certificates shall be designated as the sole Class of "residual interests" in the REMIC I. The REMIC II Regular Interests shall be designated as the "regular interests" and the Class R-II Certificates shall be designated as the sole Class of "residual interests" in the REMIC II. The REMIC III Regular Interests shall be designated as the "regular interests" and the Class R-III Certificates shall be designated as the sole Class of "residual interests" in the REMIC III. The REMIC Administrator and the Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III other than the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests, REMIC III Regular Interest IO and the Certificates. (b) The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar year. (c) The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate; provided, however, that the Holder of the Class R Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act as "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate, the "tax matters person" shall be the Person with the greatest percentage interest in the Class R Certificate and, if there is more than one such Person, shall be determined under Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulation Section ###-###-####(a)(7)-1. (d) It is intended that the rights of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest Entitlements shall be treated as a right in notional principal contracts written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of the holders of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart from the regular interests in REMIC III held by the holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates. For information reporting requirements, the rights of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest Entitlements shall be assumed to have zero value or a de minimis value. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with REMIC interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistently with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that any of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates receive payments of Excess Interest Entitlements, such amounts, to the extent not derived from payments on the Swap Agreement, will be treated as distributed by REMIC III to the Class X Certificates pro rata and then paid to the relevant Class of Certificates pursuant to the related notional principal contract. It is intended that the obligations of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to make payments in respect of Excess Interest Obligations shall be treated as an obligation in notional principal contracts in favor of the holders of the Class X Certificates and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart from the regular interests in REMIC III held by the holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates. For information reporting requirements, the obligations of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to make payments in respect of Excess Interest Obligations shall be assumed to have zero value or a de minimis value. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that any of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates is deemed to make payments in respect of Excess Interest Obligations, such amounts will be treated as distributed by REMIC III to the relevant Class of Certificates as payment in respect of the REMIC Regular Interest represented by such Certificate and then paid to the Class X Certificateholders pursuant to the related notional principal contract. (e) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the right to receive amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class P Certificates information regarding their allocable share of the income with respect to such grantor trust and (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable. (f) [Reserved]. (g) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than those arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates). SECTION 2.08. [Reserved]. SECTION 2.09. Covenants of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby covenants to each of the other parties to this Agreement as follows: (a) the Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy; (b) the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to assure that no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, the Custodian or the Trustee, or any affiliate of the Depositor, the Custodian or the Trustee and prepared by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will be inaccurate in any material respect; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be responsible for inaccurate information provided to it by third parties. SECTION 2.10. [Reserved]. SECTION 2.11. Permitted Activities of the Trust. The Trust is created for the object and purpose of engaging in the Permitted Activities. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust, and to perform the duties and obligations of the Trustee under, the Swap Agreement and any other agreement or instrument related thereto, in each case in such form as the Depositor shall direct or shall approve, the execution and delivery of any such agreement by the Depositor to be conclusive evidence of its approval thereof. SECTION 2.12. Agreement Regarding Ability to Disclose. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee hereby agree that, notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, any and all Persons, and any of their respective employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose, immediately upon commencement of discussions, to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms "tax," "tax treatment," "tax structure," and "tax benefit" are defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-4(c). ARTICLE III ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, any powers of attorney, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria, applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Notes and Mortgages. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property (or the stock allocated to a dwelling unit related to a Co-op Loan) and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds and (iv) subject to Section 3.12(a), to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property (or the stock allocated to a dwelling unit related to a Co-op Loan) securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that, subject to Section 6.03, the Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan serviced by it under this Agreement or the rights and interests of the other parties to this Agreement except as otherwise required by this Agreement or by law. The Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860G(a) or 860G(d) of the Code. Subject to Section 6.03, the Servicer shall represent and protect the interest of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it currently protects its own interest in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, but in any case not in any manner that is a lesser standard than that provided in the first sentence of this Section 3.01. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, subordinations and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by any or all of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, any powers of attorney. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a limited power of attorney to execute and file any and all documents necessary to fulfill the obligations of the Servicer under this Section 3.01. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the 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 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for escrow payments, (i) the Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or to foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) the Servicer shall ensure that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien being imposed with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. All costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments 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 Stated Principal Balance under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. In the event that the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to any Mortgage Loan contain provisions requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to binding arbitration any disputes arising in connection with such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall be entitled to waive any such provisions on behalf of the Trust and to send written notice of such waiver to the related Mortgagor, although the Mortgagor may still require arbitration of such disputes at its option. The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to the Trustee and the Custodian on or before the Closing Date. The Servicer will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Fannie Mae Guide Announcement 97-02 and that for each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer agrees that it shall report one of the following statuses each month as follows: current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed or charged-off. The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment, release and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment, release or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS System, shall be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account. SECTION 3.02. Servicing, Subservicing and Subcontracting; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicer. (a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a subservicer, which may be an affiliate (each, a "subservicer") pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement (each, a "Subservicing Agreement"); provided, however, that (i) such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder and (ii) that such agreement would not result in a withdrawal or downgrading by any Rating Agency of the ratings of any Certificates evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each Rating Agency to the Depositor. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Servicer shall contain a provision giving any successor servicer the option to terminate such agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All actions of the each subservicer performed pursuant to the related Subservicing Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer. The Trustee shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to a subservicer, including, without limitation, any obligation, duty or liability to monitor such subservicer or to pay a subservicer's fees and expenses. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the subservicer to the Servicer. (c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use its best reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, to the extent that the non-performance of any such obligation would have a material and adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing 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 Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. (d) Any Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by the Trustee, if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer, or any successor Servicer, at the Trustee's or successor Servicer's option, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming or terminating party or the Trust, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05. Each Servicer shall be solely responsible for any fees and expenses payable to any Subservicer in connection with the assumption or termination of any Subservicing Agreement. Any Subservicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such Subservicer alone, and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities to or with respect to the Subservicer or its officers, directors or employees, except as set forth in Section 3.01. (e) A Servicer shall not permit a Subservicer to perform any servicing responsibilities hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans unless that Subservicer first agrees in writing with such Servicer to deliver: (i) an Item 1123 Certificate, an Assessment of Compliance, an Accountant's Attestation and a Back-Up Certification in such manner and at such times that permits that Servicer to comply with Sections 12.06, 12.07, 12.08 and 12.09 of this Agreement, respectively; and (ii) a description of (A) any litigation or governmental proceedings pending against such Subservicer that are material to Certificateholders, (B) any affiliations or relationships between such Subservicer and any Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee, and (C) any litigation or affiliations described in clauses (A) or (B) above, respectively, that occur or arise after such Subservicer agrees to perform any servicing responsibilities hereunder. Each such description shall be delivered to the related Servicer in such manner and at such times that permits the Servicer to comply with Sections 12.02 and 12.04 of this Agreement. (f) The Servicer shall not outsource one or more separate servicing functions hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans to any Subcontractor unless that Subcontractor first agrees in writing with the Servicer to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant's Attestation in such manner and at such times that permits that Servicer to comply with Sections 12.07 and 12.08 of this Agreement. SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor, the Custodian and the Trustee in Respect of the Servicer. None of the Custodian, the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer, and none of them is obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer hereunder or otherwise. SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Servicer. In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall, within a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of notice of termination or resignation, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof or for any acts or omissions of such predecessor servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for any expenses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2.04 or the first paragraph of Section 6.02 hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee or its designee, in its capacity as the successor servicer, shall immediately assume the Servicer's obligation to make Advances and Servicing Advances. Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02. No such termination or resignation shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed under this Agreement and to perform its duties under this Agreement until its successor assumes all of its rights and obligations hereunder. If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee (or any other successor servicer) may, at its option, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Servicer under any subservicing agreement in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that the Trustee (or any other successor servicer) shall not incur any liability or have any obligations in its capacity as servicer under a subservicing agreement arising prior to the date of such succession unless it expressly elects to succeed to the rights and obligations of the Servicer thereunder; and the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the subservicing agreement arising prior to the date of such succession. To the extent any Servicing Transfer Costs or expenses are not paid by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts shall be payable out of the Certificate Account; provided that the terminated servicer shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any such expense incurred by the Trust Fund upon receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice evidencing such expenses. If the Trustee is unwilling or unable to act as servicer, the Trustee shall seek to appoint a successor servicer that is eligible in accordance with the criteria specified this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee, as successor Servicer, is not responsible for the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the collateral (collectively, the "Predecessor Servicer Work Product"), and the Trustee shall have no liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, "Errors") exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Trustee making or continuing any Errors (collectively, "Continued Errors"), the Trustee shall have no liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that the Trustee agrees to use its best efforts to prevent Continued Errors. In the event that the Trustee becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, the Trustee shall, with the prior consent of Depositor, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors. The Trustee shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended in accordance with Section 3.08 and Section 8.06 The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the subservicing agreement to the assuming party. SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection Account; Certificate Account. (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any default interest charge, or (ii) subject to Section 3.01, extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, subject to Section 4.01, the Servicer shall make any Advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited to, modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as "forbearance"); provided, however, that in no event shall the Servicer grant any such forbearance (other than as permitted by the second sentence of this Section) with respect to any one Mortgage Loan more than once in any 12 month period or more than three times over the life of such Mortgage Loan, and provided, further, that in determining which course of action permitted by this sentence it shall pursue, the Servicer shall adhere to the standards of Section 3.01. In connection with any modification pursuant to this Section 3.05(a) and to the extent there are any unreimbursed Advances, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for such amounts from the Collection Account. (b) The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof unless, (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally or is otherwise prohibited by law, or (ii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (iii) in the Servicer's reasonable judgment as described in Section 3.01 hereof, (x) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, (y) such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and (z) doing so is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default), or (iv) the collection of such Prepayment Penalty would be considered "predatory" pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, in no event will the Servicer waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default. Except as otherwise provided above, the Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Penalty in connection with a voluntary sale of the related Mortgaged Property unless there is an acceleration of the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan. If the Servicer waives or does not collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or omission of the Servicer, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Collection Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (c) The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. (d) The Servicer shall establish and maintain so long as it is acting as servicer hereunder, on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Collection Account. The Servicer shall deposit into a clearing account, on a daily basis, and into the Collection Account, within two Business Days of receipt thereof, in immediately available funds, the following payments and collections received or made by it on and after the Cut-Off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans: (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans, other than principal due on the Mortgage Loans on or prior to the applicable Cut-off Date; (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of the related Servicing Fee permitted under Section 3.15, other than (x) interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or prior to the applicable Cut-off Date and (y) Prepayment Interest Excess; (iii) all Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) or released to either the Mortgagor or the holder of a senior lien on the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures; (iv) all Subsequent Recoveries; (v) all Compensating Interest; (vi) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(f) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; (vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof; (viii) all Purchase Prices and Substitution Adjustment Amounts; (ix) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01; (x) all Prepayment Charges; (xi) all net monthly rental income from REO Properties required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and (xii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder. The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer into the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all servicing-related fees, including all late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, customary real estate referral fees and payments in the nature of assumption fees (i.e. fees related to the assumption of a Mortgage Loan upon the purchase of the related Mortgaged Property or stock allocated to a dwelling unit in the case of a Co-op Loan), modification fees, extension fees and other similar ancillary fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) if collected, and any Prepayment Interest Excess need not be remitted by the Servicer. Rather, such fees and charges and similar amounts may be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, it may at any time withdraw or direct the Trustee, or such other institution maintaining the Collection Account, to withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Collection Account at the direction of the Servicer. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee the most current available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee. The Collection Account may contain funds that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series and may contain other funds respecting payments on mortgage loans belonging to the Servicer or serviced by the Servicer on behalf of others; provided that such commingling of funds shall not be permitted at any time during which (i) Fitch's senior long-term unsecured debt rating of the Servicer is below "A" or (ii) Fitch's short-term rating of such Servicer is below F1. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Servicer shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Collection Account that have been identified by it as being attributable to the amounts deposited to the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 3.05. All funds required to be deposited in the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account held by the Servicer. The amount at any time credited to the Collection Account may be invested, in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in Permitted Investments as directed by the Servicer. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, (i) the next succeeding Distribution Date if the obligor for such Permitted Investment is the institution acting as Servicer or if such Permitted Investment is a money market mutual fund the advisor of which is the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof or (ii) if such obligor is any other Person, the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date. All income or gain (net of any losses) realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be retained by it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses realized in the Collection Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account out of the Servicer's own funds immediately as realized.. (e) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Certificate Account and retain therein the following: (i) the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Servicer from the Collection Account and required to be deposited in the Certificate Account; (ii) any amount required to be deposited by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(f) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and (iii) the Optional Termination Amount paid by Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01. Any amounts received by the Trustee prior to timeHour13Minute01:00 p.m. New York City time (or such earlier deadline for investment in the Permitted Investments designated by the Trustee) which are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Servicer may be invested in Permitted Investments on the Business Day on which they were received. The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer and deposit by the Servicer into the Certificate Account shall be exclusive. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Certificate Account at the direction of the Servicer. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer of the location of the Certificate Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. (f) Each institution that maintains the Collection Account or the Certificate Account shall invest the funds in each such account as directed in writing by the Servicer or the Trustee, respectively, in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Collection Account the Business Day preceding the related Servicer Remittance Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such Collection Account or is otherwise immediately available, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Servicer Remittance Date) and (ii) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Business Day immediately preceding the first Distribution Date that follows the date of such investment (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such Certificate Account or is otherwise immediately available, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it or withdrawn by it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in the Collection Account in respect of any such investments shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account out of the Servicer's own funds immediately as realized. All income and gain net of any losses realized from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee and shall be remitted to or withdrawn by it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in the Certificate Account in respect of any such investments shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Certificate Account out of the Trustee's own funds immediately as realized. SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law. Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes, assessments, dues or comparable items and insurance premiums) and 3.10 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account to withdraw funds deposited in error or amounts previously deposited but returned as unpaid due to a "not sufficient funds" or other denial by the related Mortgagor's banking institution or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund. SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans. Upon reasonable advance notice in writing if required by federal regulation, and with respect to a Certificateholder that is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company, the Servicer will provide to Trustee certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans, as may be available to the Servicer and necessary to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided, that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and access. SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Certificate Account. (a) The Servicer may from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes (the order below not constituting an order of priority): (i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously paid to or withheld by the Servicer), as servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.15, that portion of any payment or recovery of interest on a Mortgage Loan that equals the Servicing Fee for the period with respect to which such interest payment or recovery was made or allocated, and, as additional servicing compensation, those other amounts set forth in Section 3.15; (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for Advances made by it (or to reimburse the Advance Financing Person for Advances made by it) with respect to the Mortgage Loans, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds) that represent late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest on such particular Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made; (iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Non-Recoverable Advance previously made and any Non-Recoverable Servicing Advances previously made to the extent that, in the case of Non-Recoverable Servicing Advances, reimbursement therefor constitutes "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii); (iv) to pay to the Servicer earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or credited to the Collection Account; (v) to reimburse the Servicer from Insurance Proceeds for Insured Expenses covered by the related Insurance Policy; (vi) to pay the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees and to reimburse it for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (to the extent that reimbursement for Servicing Advances would constitute an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)), the Servicer's right to reimbursement of Servicing Advances pursuant to this subclause (vi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s)(including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and purchase and repurchase proceeds) that represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.06; (vii) to pay to the Depositor or the Servicer, as applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.12, all amounts received thereon and not taken into account in determining the related Stated Principal Balance of such repurchased Mortgage Loan; (viii) to reimburse the Servicer, the Trustee or the Depositor for expenses incurred by any of them in connection with the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates and reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.25 or Section 6.03 hereof; (ix) to reimburse the Trustee for enforcement expenses reasonably incurred in respect of a breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation in Section 2.03 that were incurred in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loans including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation; provided that any such expenses will be reimbursable under this subclause (ix) only to the extent that such expenses would constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid by one of the REMICs provided for herein; (x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Account and not required to be deposited therein; (xi) to withdraw funds deposited in error or amounts previously deposited but returned as unpaid due to a "not sufficient funds" or other denial by the related Mortgagor's banking institution; (xii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof; (xiii) to reimburse itself for Advances or Servicing Advances from amounts in the Collection Account held for future distributions that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date. An amount equal to the amount withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to this subclause (xiii) shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer on the next succeeding Distribution Date on which funds are to be distributed to Certificateholders; and (xiv) to reimburse itself from any amounts in the Collection Account for any prior Advances which have not otherwise been reimbursed at the time a Mortgage Loan is modified. In addition, no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn from the Collection Account the Interest Funds and the Principal Funds to the extent on deposit, and such amount shall be deposited in the Certificate Account; provided, however, if the Trustee does not receive such Interest Funds and Principal Funds by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, such Interest Funds and Principal Funds shall be deposited in the Certificate Account on the next Business Day. The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account in relation to subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xiii) and (xiv). The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (iii) and (viii) above. In the event of any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account any amounts (including any Advance) required to be so remitted by the Servicer on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for its own account, interest on such amounts at the "prime rate" (as specified in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal) until such failure is remedied. Unless otherwise specified, any amounts reimbursable to the Servicer or the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Certificate Accounts shall be deemed to come from first, Interest Funds, and thereafter, Principal Funds for the related Distribution Date. (b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for distribution to the Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement (and shall withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to retain pursuant to this Agreement). In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the following purposes (the order below not constituting an order of priority): (i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and not required to be deposited therein; (ii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof (after paying all amounts necessary to the Trustee or the Servicer in connection with any such termination); and (iii) to reimburse the Trustee for any fees, expenses and indemnification reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 3.04, 6.03, 8.06 and 11.02 hereof. SECTION 3.09. Credit Reporting. The Servicer will fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company on a monthly basis. SECTION 3.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Co-op Loan), fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the least of (i) the replacement value of the improvements that are part of such Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the related Mortgagor and/or mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer or (iii) the amount required under applicable HUD/FHA regulations. Each policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. The Servicer shall also cause flood insurance to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, to the extent described below. Pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent and as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08 hereof. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value of the improvements that are part of such Mortgaged Property, or (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.10, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy. SECTION 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.11(a), when any property subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the due-on-sale clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. An opinion of counsel, which shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance (to the extent it is an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)), delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief to the extent permitted under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.11(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.11(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.11(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption that the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing. (b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.11(a) hereof, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of Co-op Loan) has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property (or the stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Scheduled Payment, the Maximum Rate, the Minimum Rate, the Gross Margin, the Periodic Rate Cap, the Adjustment Date, any prepayment penalty and any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be changed. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution agreements. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. SECTION 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination of Excess Proceeds. (a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01 to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with the restoration of any property that shall have suffered damage due to an uninsured cause unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) and if applicable, as a Non-Recoverable Servicing Advance, as contemplated in Section 3.08 hereof. If the Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan), consider such risks and only take action in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer servicing the related Mortgage Loan shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee's capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer or its affiliate may receive usual and customary real estate referral fees for real estate brokers in connection with the listing and disposition of REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Servicer to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account no later than the close of business on the Determination Date immediately following the month concerned. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as may be required. In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) prior to the expiration of three years from the end of the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, obtain, in accordance with applicable procedures for obtaining an automatic extension of the grace period, more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period, in which case such property must be disposed of prior to the end of such extension, unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (such Opinion of Counsel not to be an expense of the Trustee), to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) subsequent to such three-year period or extension will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund or any of the REMICs provided for herein as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) acquired by the Trust Fund shall be held, rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject the Trust Fund or any REMIC provided for herein to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) under section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer or the Depositor has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Servicer shall have no liability for any losses resulting from a foreclosure on a second lien Mortgage Loan in connection with the foreclosure of the related first lien mortgage loan that is not a Mortgage Loan if the Servicer does not receive notice of such foreclosure action. The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any Mortgaged Properties acquired through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances, Servicing Advances and any management fee paid or to be paid with respect to the management of such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of Co-op Loan), shall be applied for the purpose of the Trust Fund to the payment of principal of, and interest on, the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such net income shall be deemed, for all purposes and as between the parties to this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Collection Account. To the extent that any such net income received during a Prepayment Period is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be considered to be a partial Principal Prepayment for all purposes hereof. The Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date. The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Liquidation Proceeds and any net income from an REO Property, will be applied as between the parties in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(vi) or this Section 3.12; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ii) or this Section 3.12; third, to any Prepayment Charges and then to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. (b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the respective aggregate amounts of Excess Proceeds, if any, that occurred in the related Prepayment Period. (c) The Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect (by written notice sent to the Trustee) to purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent or REO Property for which the Servicer has accepted a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or REO Property purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Trustee for deposit to the Certificate Account and the Custodian, upon receipt of such confirmation of deposit and a Request for Release from the Servicer in the form of Exhibit I hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer any Mortgage Loan or REO Property released pursuant hereto and the Servicer shall succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Servicer shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto. The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. SECTION 3.13. Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will promptly notify the Custodian or its designee by delivering a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit I. Upon receipt of such request, the Custodian shall within three (3) Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of any such Mortgage if applicable, and the Servicer, on behalf of the Custodian shall execute and deliver the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account, the Certificate Account or the related subservicing account. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Custodian shall, upon delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit I signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Collection Account. Each Request for Release may be delivered to the Custodian (i) via mail or courier, (ii) via facsimile or (iii) by such other means, including, without limitation, electronic or computer readable medium, as the Servicer and the Custodian shall mutually agree. The Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File(s) within three (3) Business Days of receipt of a properly completed Request for Release pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above. Receipt of a properly completed Request for Release shall be authorization to the Custodian to release such Mortgage Files, provided the Custodian has determined that such Request for Release has been executed, with respect to clauses (i) or (ii) above, or approved, with respect to clause (iii) above, by an authorized Servicing Officer of the Servicer, and so long as the Custodian complies with its duties and obligations under this Agreement. If the Custodian is unable to release the Mortgage Files within the period previously specified, the Custodian shall immediately notify the Servicer indicating the reason for such delay. If the Servicer is required to pay penalties or damages due to the Custodian's negligent failure to release the related Mortgage File or the Custodian's negligent failure to execute and release documents in a timely manner, the Custodian, shall be liable for such penalties or damages respectively caused by it. If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer may deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate or on behalf of the Trustee, execute any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall cause possession of any Mortgage File or of the documents therein that shall have been released by the Custodian to be returned to the Custodian promptly after possession thereof shall have been released by the Custodian unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account, and the Servicer shall have delivered to the Custodian a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit I or (ii) the Mortgage File or document shall have been delivered to an attorney or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) and the Servicer shall have delivered to the Custodian an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which the Mortgage File or the documents therein were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. SECTION 3.14. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer to be Held for the Trustee. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trust Fund, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection Account or Certificate Account or in any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of set off against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement. SECTION 3.15. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account out of each payment or recovery of interest on a Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to interest at the applicable Servicing Fee Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date. Additional servicing compensation in the form of any Excess Proceeds, late payment fees, assumption fees (i.e., fees related to the assumption of a Mortgage Loan upon the purchase of the related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of Co-op Loan)), modification fees, customary real estate referral fees, extension fees and similar fees payable by the Mortgagor, Prepayment Interest Excess, and all income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments in the Collection Account shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Sections 3.05 or 3.12(a) hereof. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.10 hereof and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by Section 3.10 hereof) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential between the Servicing Fee and the amount necessary to induce a successor servicer to act as successor servicer under this Agreement. SECTION 3.16. Access to Certain Documentation. The Servicer will provide to Trustee certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and cooperate in providing information to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of the Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, and access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it provided, that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and access. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. SECTION 3.17. Special Servicing Agreements. The Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated Holder of 100% Percentate Interest of the Class X Certificates, but the Servicer will be required to continue otherwise to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Such agreement shall be subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgement that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may instruct the related Servicer to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had such Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures. SECTION 3.18. [Reserved]. SECTION 3.19. [Reserved]. SECTION 3.20. [Reserved]. SECTION 3.21. [Reserved]. SECTION 3.22. [Reserved]. SECTION 3.23. Prepayment Charge Reporting Requirements. Promptly after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the following information with regard to each Mortgage Loan that has prepaid during the related Prepayment Period: (i) loan number; (ii) current Mortgage Rate; (iii) current principal balance; (iv) Prepayment Charge amount due; and (v) Prepayment Charge amount collected. SECTION 3.24. Statements to Trustee. Not later than the Servicer Remittance Date in each month, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee an electronic file providing loan level accounting data for the period ending on the last Business Day of the preceding month in the format mutually agreed upon between the Servicer and the Trustee, including but not limited to information sufficient to allow the Trustee to prepare the Monthly Statement described in Section 4.05(a). SECTION 3.25. Indemnification. (a) The Servicer shall indemnify the Seller, the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Depositor and their officers, directors, employees and agents and hold each of them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of such parties may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer immediately shall notify the Seller, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Depositor or any other relevant party if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any of such parties in respect of such claim. The Servicer shall provide the Depositor and the Trustee with a written report of all expenses and advances incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.25(a), and the Servicer shall promptly reimburse itself from the assets of the Trust Fund in the Collection Account for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when and to the extent a determination has been made that the claim in any way relates to the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates. (b) [Reserved]. (c) The Trustee immediately shall notify the Seller, the Servicer and the Depositor or any other relevant party if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any of such parties in respect of such claim. The Trustee shall provide the Servicer and the Depositor with a written report of all expenses and advances incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.25(c), and the Trustee shall promptly reimburse itself from the assets of the Trust Fund in the Certificate Account for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim in any way relates to the failure of the Trustee to perform its duties in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Trustee. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates. SECTION 3.26. Nonsolicitation. For as long as the Servicer services the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer covenants that it will not, and that it will ensure that its affiliates and agents will not, directly solicit or provide information for any other party to solicit for prepayment or refinancing of any of the Mortgage Loans by the related Mortgagors. It is understood that the promotions undertaken by the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, or certain segments thereof, shall not constitute solicitation as that term is used in this Section 3.26. ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS SECTION 4.01. Advances. (a) Subject to the conditions of this Article IV, the Servicer, as required below, shall make an Advance and deposit such Advance in the Collection Account. Each such Advance shall be remitted to the Collection Account no later than timeHour13Minute01:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Servicer Advance Date in immediately available funds. The Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a Non-Recoverable Advance. If the Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Non-Recoverable Advance or that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance, the Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, funds constituting the remaining portion of such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor and each Rating Agency an Officer's Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination. The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, make an Advance with respect to the principal portion of the final Scheduled Payment on a Balloon Loan, but the Servicer is under no obligation to do so; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall affect the Servicer's obligation under this Section 4.01 to advance the interest portion of the final Scheduled Payment with respect to a Balloon Loan as if such Balloon Loan were a fully amortizing Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor does not pay its final Scheduled Payment on a Balloon Loan when due, the Servicer shall Advance (unless it determines in its good faith judgment that such amounts would constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance) a full month of interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on the Stated Principal Balance thereof each month until its Stated Principal Balance is reduced to zero. In lieu of making all or a portion of such Advance from its own funds, the Servicer may (i) cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Collection Account that any amount held for future distribution has been used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance and (ii) transfer such funds from the Collection Account to the Certificate Account. Any funds so applied and transferred shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account no later than the close of business on the Servicer Advance Date on which such funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to make Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until the earlier of (i) the date such Mortgage Loan is paid in full or (ii) the date the related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01. (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including, but not limited to, Sections 3.01 and 4.01(a) hereof), no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance or a Non-Recoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Non-Recoverable Advance or a Non-Recoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance or a Non-Recoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee. In addition, the Servicer shall not be required to advance any Relief Act Shortfalls. SECTION 4.02. Reduction of Servicing Compensation in Connection with Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. No later than the Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee an amount from its own funds equal to the Compensating Interest with respect to such Servicer Remittance Date; and in case of such remittance, the Servicer shall not be entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders. With respect to any Mortgage Loan and Distribution Date, to the extent that the Prepayment Interest Shortfall exceeds Compensating Interest (such excess, a "Non-Supported Interest Shortfall"), such Non-Supported Interest Shortfall shall reduce the Current Interest with respect to each Class of Certificates, pro rata, based upon the amount of interest each such Class would otherwise be entitled to receive on such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to any Relief Act Shortfall. SECTION 4.03. Distributions on the REMIC Interests. (a) On each Distribution Date, funds then available in the Certificate Account shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as applied to distributions on the interests issued in respect of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as specified in this Section. (b) (1) On each Distribution Date, the REMIC I Distribution Amount shall be distributed by REMIC I to REMIC II on account of the REMIC I Regular Interests in the amounts and with the priorities set forth in the definition thereof. (2) On each Distribution Date, the REMIC II Distribution Amount shall be distributed by REMIC II to REMIC III on account of the REMIC II Regular Interests in the amounts and with the priorities set forth in the definition thereof. (3) On each Distribution Date, the REMIC III Distribution Amount shall be deemed to have been distributed by REMIC III to the Certificateholders on account of the REMIC III Regular Interests represented thereby in the amounts and with the priorities set forth in the definition thereof. (4) On each Distribution Date, the amount, if any, deemed received by the Class X Certificates in respect of the REMIC III Regular Interest IO and under the Swap Agreement shall be deemed to have been paid on behalf of the Class X Certificates by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(k) in respect of the Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty. On each Distribution Date, the amount, if any, received by the Trustee from the Swap Counterparty in respect of the Swap Agreement shall be deemed to have been received by the Trustee on behalf of the Class X Certificates. On each Distribution Date, amounts paid to the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(f)(iv) in respect of Available Funds Cap Carryover shall be deemed to have been paid by the Class X Certificateholder pursuant to the X-AMB Swap Agreement. SECTION 4.04. Distributions. (a) [Reserved]. (b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following distributions from funds then available in the Certificate Account, of an amount equal to the Interest Funds in the following order of priority: (i) to the Trustee, the Trustee Fee; (ii) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Net Swap Payments owed to the Swap Counterparty; (iii) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Swap Termination Payment owed by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty (other than Defaulted Swap Termination Payments); (iv) to each class of the Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, the Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to each such class based upon the ratio of (x) the Current Interest and Interest Carry Forward Amount for each class of the Class A Certificates to (y) the total amount of Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount for the Class A Certificates; (v) to the Class P Certificates, an amount equal to any Prepayment Charges received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or paid by the Servicer in respect of Prepayment Charges pursuant to this Agreement during the related Prepayment Period; (vi) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, the Current Interest for such class; and (vii) any remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(f) hereof. (c) [Reserved]. (d) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following distributions from the Certificate Account of an amount equal to the Principal Distribution Amount in the following order of priority until such amount shall have been fully distributed for such Distribution Date: (i) to the Class A Certificates, the Class A Principal Distribution Amount will be distributed sequentially to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates, in that order, until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such class has been reduced to zero; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates is greater than or equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Class A Principal Distribution Amount will be distributed pro rata to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates based on the outstanding Certificate Principal Balances thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balances of each class have been reduced to zero; (ii) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, the Class M-1 Principal Distribution Amount, the Class M-2 Principal Distribution Amount, the Class M-3 Principal Distribution Amount, the Class M-4 Principal Distribution Amount, the Class M-5 Principal Distribution Amount, the Class M-6 Principal Distribution Amount, the Class B-1 Principal Distribution Amount, the Class B-2 Principal Distribution Amount and the Class B-3 Principal Distribution Amount, respectively, for each such Class, until the Certificate Principal Balance of each class has been reduced to zero; and (iii) any remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(f) hereof. (e) [Reserved]. (f) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following distributions up to the following amounts from the Certificate Account of the remainders pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(vii) and (d)(iii) hereof and each such distribution shall be made only after all distributions pursuant to Sections 4.04(b) and (d) above shall have been made until such remainders shall have been fully distributed for such Distribution Date: (i) the Extra Principal Distribution Amount, as part of the Principal Distribution Amount; (ii) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to such class; (iii) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount for such class; (iv) concurrently, to the Offered Certificates, on a pro rata basis based upon the Available Funds Cap Carryover for each such Class, the Available Funds Cap Carryover; and (v) the remainder to the Supplemental Interest Trust, to be distributed in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.04(k). (g) [Reserved]. (h) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall allocate the remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(k)(xi) hereof (i) to the Trustee to reimburse amounts or pay indemnification amounts owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03 and (ii) to the Class X Certificates and such distributions shall be made only after all preceding distributions shall have been made until such remainder shall have been fully distributed. (i) On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall allocate the Applied Realized Loss Amount for the Certificates to reduce the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class X Certificates and the Subordinated Certificates in the following order of priority: (i) to the Class X Certificates until the Class X Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; (ii) to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Class B-3 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; (iii) to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Class B-2 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; (iv) to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Class B-1 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; (v) to the Class M-6 Certificates until the Class M-6 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; (vi) to the Class M-5 Certificates until the Class M-5 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; (vii) to the Class M-4 Certificates until the Class M-4 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; (viii) to the Class M-3 Certificates until the Class M-3 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; (ix) to the Class M-2 Certificates until the Class M-2 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and (x) to the Class M-1 Certificates until the Class M-1 Certificate Principal Balance is reduced to zero. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC II Regular Interests as provided in the definition of REMIC I Realized Losses and REMIC II Realized Losses, respectively. Realized Losses allocated to the Class X Certificates shall, to the extent such Realized Losses represent Realized Losses on an interest portion, be allocated to the REMIC III Regular Interest X-IO. Realized Losses allocated to the Class X Certificates shall, to the extent such Realized Losses represent Realized Losses on a principal portion, shall be deemed first to reduce the principal balance of the REMIC III Regular Interest X-PO until such principal balance shall have been reduced to zero and thereafter to reduce accrued and unpaid interest on the REMIC III Regular Interest X-IO. (j) Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either 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 Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, distributions with respect to Certificates registered in the name of a Depository shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds. In accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver a report (the "Remittance Report") to the Trustee in the form of a computer readable magnetic tape (or by such other means as the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) containing such data and information as to permit the Trustee to prepare the Monthly Statement to Certificateholders and make the required distributions for the related Distribution Date. The Trustee will prepare the Monthly Report based solely upon the information received from the Servicer. (k) A separate trust is hereby established (the "Supplemental Interest Trust"), the corpus of which shall be held by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, as part of the Supplemental Interest Trust, a separate non-interest bearing trust account for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates. Such account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall enforce all of the Supplemental Interest Trust's rights and exercise any remedies under the Swap Agreement and, in the event the Swap Agreement is terminated as a result of the designation by either party thereto of an Early Termination Date (as defined therein), find a replacement counterparty to enter into a replacement swap agreement utilizing the amounts of the net Swap Termination Payments received. Any Swap Termination Payment received by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be deposited in to the Supplemental Interest Trust and shall be used to make any upfront payment required under a replacement swap agreement and any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement shall be used to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that a replacement swap agreement cannot be obtained within 30 days after receipt by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee of the Swap Termination Payment paid by the terminated Swap Provider, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit such Swap Termination Payment into a separate, non-interest bearing account established by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, on each Distribution Date following receipt of such Swap Termination Payment, withdraw from such account, an amount equal to the Net Swap Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust by the original Swap Provider (computed in accordance with the original Swap Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit M) and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 4.04 of this Agreement. Any such account shall not be an asset of any REMIC. Any amounts remaining in such account shall be distributed to the holders of the Class X Certificates on the Distribution Date following the earlier of (i) the exercise of the option to terminate the Trust Fund by the holders Class X Certificates and (ii) the termination date of the original Swap Agreement. On any Distribution Date, any Swap Termination Payments or Net Swap Payments owed to the Swap Counterparty will be paid out of, or any Net Swap Payments or Swap Termination Payments received from the Swap Counterparty will be deposited into, the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Supplemental Interest Trust will not be an asset of any REMIC. Funds in the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be distributed in the following order of priority by the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee: (i) to the Swap Counterparty, all Net Swap Payments, if any, owed to the Swap Counterparty for such Distribution Date; (ii) to the Swap Counterparty, any Swap Termination Payment, other than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, if any, owed to the Swap Counterparty; (iii) to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates, on a pro rata basis, any Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to such class to the extent unpaid from Interest Funds; (iv) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, any Current Interest for such class to the extent unpaid from Interest Funds; (v) to the Offered Certificates, to pay principal as described and in the same manner and order of priority as set forth in Sections 4.04(d)(i) and 4.04(d)(ii) in order to maintain the Overcollateralization Target Amount, and after giving effect to distributions from the Principal Distribution Amount, including the Extra Principal Distribution Amount, for each such Class; (vi) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, any Interest Carry Forward with respect to such class to the extent unpaid from Interest Funds and Principal Funds; (vii) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount for such class to the extent unpaid from Interest Funds and Principal Funds; (viii) concurrently, to the Offered Certificates, on a pro rata basis, any Available Funds Cap Carryover to the extent not paid from Interest Funds or Principal Funds based on the amount of such unpaid Available Funds Cap Carryover; (ix) to the Swap Counterparty, any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty to the extent not already paid; (x) to the Class X Certificates in the following order of priority, (I) the Class X Current Interest, (II) the Class X Interest Carry Forward Amount, (III) as principal on the Class X Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class X Certificates has been reduced to zero (distributions pursuant to this clause (III) being made only to the extent of Interest Funds and Principal Funds that would be remaining had distributions on such Distribution Date pursuant to prior clauses of this Section 4.04(k) been made out of Interest Funds and Principal Funds (rather than out of proceeds of the Swap Agreement), (IV) the Class X Unpaid Realized Loss Amount, (V) the amount of any Overcollateralization Reduction Amount for such Distribution Date; and (VI) for any Distribution Date after the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates has been reduced to zero, the Overcollateralization Amount; and (xi) the remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(h). Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this Section 4.04(k). (l) With respect to the failure of the Swap Provider to perform any of its obligations under the Swap Agreement, the breach by the Swap Provider of any of its representations and warranties made pursuant to the Swap Agreement, or the termination of the Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, as are required under the Swap Agreement.

The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall have no responsibility for the contents, adequacy or sufficiency of the Swap Agreement, including, without limitation, any representations and warranties contained therein. Any funds payable by the Trust under the Swap Agreement to the Swap Provider shall be paid by the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not, individually or personally, have any liability to perform any covenant either express or implied contained in the Swap Agreement and under no circumstance shall the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any amounts payable by the Supplemental Interest Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under the Swap Agreement. In addition, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall be entitled to all of the same protections, immunities, rights and indemnities as are provided in this Agreement to the Trustee. (n) On the Distribution Date immediately following the last month during which a Prepayment Charge may be assessed on a Mortgage Loan, or upon the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, an amount equal to the Class P Reserve Account Amount shall be withdrawn from the Certificate Account and distributed by the Trustee to Holders of the Class P Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

(3) The Class P Certificates shall not have minimum dollar denominations or Certificate Principal Balances and shall be issued in a minimum percentage interest of 5%, with additional amounts issued in increments of 1%. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee 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 Trustee shall bind the Trust Fund, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such authentication and delivery. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth as attached hereto executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the written direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof. SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.09 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 Trustee 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 Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and of like 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 Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates that 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 Trustee 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. All Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures. (b) No Transfer of a Class X, Class P or Class R 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 the Securities 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 and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall (except with respect to the initial transfer of a Class X or Class P Certificate by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC) each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit F (the "Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit G (the "Investment Letter"), Exhibit H (the "Rule 144A Letter") or Exhibit J (the "Regulation S Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor or the Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Class X, Class P or Class R 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 or Regulation S. The Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A or Regulation S information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information in the possession of the Trustee 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 Class X, Class P or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee 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. No transfer of an Restricted Certificate that is a Class R Certificate may be made to any Person that is an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any state, local, federal, non-U.S. or other law substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code ("Similar Law") (collectively, a "Plan"), or to any Person directly or indirectly acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of, or with any assets of any such Plan. Each Person to whom a Class R Certificate is to be transferred shall be required or deemed to represent that it is not a Plan. No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (other than the Class R Certificate) shall be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received (A) a representation that such transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly acquiring the Certificate for, on behalf of, or with the assets of any such Plan, (B) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that such transferee is an insurance company that is acquiring the Certificate with assets contained in an "insurance company general account," as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (C) solely in the case of a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, and upon which the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor. Except in the case of Definitive Certificates, for purposes of the two immediately preceding paragraphs of this Subsection 5.02(b), other than clause (C) in the immediately preceding paragraph, the representations as set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of an ERISA Restricted Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect. The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b), nor shall the Trustee be under any liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such Certificate in violation of this Section 5.02(b) all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after the time it commenced such holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan. (c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R 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 Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee. (ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be purchased, transferred or sold, directly or indirectly, except in accordance with the provisions hereof. No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and an affidavit of the proposed transferor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2. In the absence of a contrary instruction from the transferor of a Class R Certificate, declaration (11) in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit may be left blank. If the transferor requests by written notice to the Trustee prior to the date of the proposed transfer that one of the two other forms of declaration (11) in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit be used, then the requirements of this Section 5.02(c)(ii) shall not have been satisfied unless the Transfer Affidavit includes such other form of declaration. (iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R 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 Class R 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 Class R Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee. Further, no transfer, sale or other disposition of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be made to a person who is not a U.S. Person (within the meaning of Section 7701 of the Code) unless such person furnishes the transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed and effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) and the Trustee consents to such transfer, sale or other disposition in writing. (iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R 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 Class R 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 Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R 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 provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class R 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 Class R Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate. The restrictions on Transfers of a Class R Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Class R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any of the REMICs provided for herein 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, any REMIC provided for herein, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Class R 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 Class R Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee. (d) The transferor of the Class R Certificate shall notify the Trustee in writing upon the transfer of the Class R Certificate. (e) The preparation and delivery of all certificates, opinions and other writings referred to above in this Section 5.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee. (f) Each Holder of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by its acquisition or holding of such Certificate or any interest therein, that as of any date prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement, at least one of PTCE 84-14, 90-1, 91-38, 95-60, 96-23 or other applicable exemption applies to such Holder's right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust. SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate 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 Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Trustee under the terms of this Section 5.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part. SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners. The Trustee and any agent of 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 neither the Trustee, nor any agent of 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 Trustee, (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 that such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall 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. Book-Entry Certificates. The Regular Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Depositor. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section 5.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 5.08: (a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect; (b) the Depositor and the Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates; (c) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.08, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Depository Participants; (e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (f) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants; and (g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control. For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of such Class of Certificates. SECTION 5.07. Notices to Depository. Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Certificateholders of the Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Depository. SECTION 5.08. Definitive Certificates. If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any Certificates, (a) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such Certificates and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor notifies the Trustee of its intent to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination or (c) after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates having not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by any Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee and the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to Certificates of such Class through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of such Class, then the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners of such Class requesting the same. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive 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 Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. SECTION 5.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its offices at 60 Livingston Avenue, EP-MN-WS2N, St. Paul, Minnesota 55107, Attention: Transfer Unit/WMLT 2006-AMN1 as offices for such purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency. ARTICLE VI THE DEPOSITOR, THE SERVICER AND THE CUSTODIAN SECTION 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Custodian. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Custodian shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein. By way of illustration and not limitation, the Depositor is not liable for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by Section 7.01 to assume any obligations of the Servicer or to appoint a designee to assume such obligations, nor is it liable for any other obligation hereunder that it may, but it is not obligated to, assume unless it elects to assume such obligation in accordance herewith. SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian. Except as provided in the next paragraph, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation or banking association under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the States thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement. Any Person into which the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for the execution of an assumption agreement where such succession is not effected by operation of law); provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian and Others. None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian from any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense, incurred in connection with the performance of their duties under this agreement or incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or (ii) which does not constitute an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). None of the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Custodian shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Custodian in its discretion may undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Servicer and the Custodian shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.08 hereof. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Custodian. SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of Servicer. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer is appointed and has assumed the Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of any of the obligations specified in Section 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. SECTION 6.05. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds. The Servicer shall, for so long as it acts as servicer under this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder, and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall, together, comply with the requirements from time to time of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac for Persons performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee, upon request and reasonable notice, with copies of such policies and fidelity bond or a certification from the insurance provider evidencing such policies and fidelity bond. In the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement. Any such policy or fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. ARTICLE VII DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF SERVICER SECTION 7.01. Events of Default. "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following events: (i) any failure by the Servicer to make any Advance, to deposit in the Collection Account or the Certificate Account or remit to the Trustee any payment (excluding a payment required to be made under Section 4.01 hereof) required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for three Business Days and, with respect to a payment required to be made under Section 4.01 hereof, for one Business Day, after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or (ii) any failure by the Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement or any representation or warranty shall prove to be untrue in any material respect, which failure or breach shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Depositor by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or (iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a 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, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (iv) consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or all or substantially all of the property of the Servicer; or (v) admission by a Servicer in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or (vi) any failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Article XII of this Agreement. If an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Servicer, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee or a successor servicer. To the extent the Event of Default resulted from the failure of the Servicer to make a required Advance, the Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance described in Section 4.01 hereof subject to Section 3.04 hereof. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Collection Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event that, with notice, passage of time, other action or any combination of the foregoing would be an Event of Default, such notice to be provided in any event within two Business Days of such occurrence. Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice terminating the Servicer's rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii), and any other amounts payable to the Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination. SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, to the extent provided in Section 3.04, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as 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 Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law, including the obligation to make advances pursuant to Section 4.01; provided, however, that the Trustee, acting in its capacity as successor to the Servicer shall have no obligation to make Advances, to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that such funds are non-recoverable. As compensation therefor, subject to the last paragraph of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees, costs and expenses relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer would have been entitled to if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the 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, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution, the appointment of which successor shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor servicer shall be an institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further 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. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the Trustee shall have consented thereto and written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Trustee to each Certificateholder. The Trustee shall not resign as servicer until a successor servicer has been appointed and has accepted such appointment; provided, however, that the Trustee may, if it shall become unwilling to continue to so act as servicer, or shall, if it shall become prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to continue to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution, the appointment of which successor shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor 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 Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it. Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.05. SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Swap Provider and to each Rating Agency. (b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. ARTICLE VIII CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 8.01. Duties of the Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, each shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, 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. In case an Event of Default or other default by the Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the majority of the Certificateholders, or may, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement 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 Trustee, being advised by counsel and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. 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 conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicers or the Depositor hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice to the Certificateholders and take such further action as directed in writing by the Certificateholders. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct, its negligent failure to perform its obligations in compliance with this Agreement, or any liability that would be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance or bad faith; provided, however, that: (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge, and after the curing of all such Events of Default that may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as Trustee, except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee, and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement that it reasonably believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder; (ii) the Trustee shall not, individually or as Trustee, be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless the Trustee was negligent or acted in bad faith or with willful misfeasance; (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as Trustee, with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with this Agreement relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; (iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such default or Event of Default or any officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such default or Event of Default at its Corporate Trust Office. In the absence of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no default or Event of Default; (v) the Trustee shall not have a duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any rerecording, refilling or redepositing, as applicable, thereof, (B) to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund; and (vi) no provision in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds (including, without limitation, the making of any Advance by the Trustee as a successor Servicer) or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of funds or adequate indemnity against such risk of liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner or performance of, any of the obligations of a Servicer under this Agreement, except, with respect to the Trustee, during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, a predecessor Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01: (i) the Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel; (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; (iv) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of each Class of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of such Class; (v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians, accountants or attorneys or independent contractors, and the Trustee will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, custodian, accountant, attorney or independent contractor appointed with due care by it hereunder; (vi) the Trustee shall not be required to expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not assured to it; (vii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as Trustee, for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security); (viii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such default or Event of Default or any officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such default or Event of Default at its Corporate Trust Office. In the absence of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no default or Event of Default; (ix) [Reserved]; (x) the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; (xi) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act; (xii) if requested by the Servicer, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicer as the trustee's attorney-in-fact in order to carry out and perform certain activities that are necessary or appropriate for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. Such appointment shall be evidenced by a power of attorney in such form as may be agreed to by the Trustee and the Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability for any action or inaction of the Servicer in connection with such power of attorney and the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer for all liabilities, costs, expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the Servicer's use or misuse of such powers of attorney; and (xiii) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder. (b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of the Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Trustee shall not have a duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any rerecording, refilling or redepositing, as applicable, thereof, (B) to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund. SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Mortgage Loan, or any related document other than with respect to the execution and authentication of the Certificates, if it so executed or authorized the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or the Certificate Account by the Depositor or the Servicer. The Trustee shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the assets of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer); the compliance by the Depositor or the Servicers with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation; any investment of monies by or at the direction of a Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any part of the Trust Estate that either party may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Depositor, any Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer), any subservicer or any Mortgagor; any action of any Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer) or any subservicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of any Servicer or any subservicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of a Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement. SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it was not the Trustee. SECTION 8.05.

In addition, the Trustee will be entitled to all income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the Certificate Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(f), for the performance of its activities hereunder. SECTION 8.06. Indemnification and Expenses of Trustee. (a) The Trustee and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal proceeding or incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of, or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder, including any applicable fees and expenses payable hereunder, and the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided that: (i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Depositor and the Holders written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof; provided that failure to so notify shall not relieve the Trust Fund of the obligation to indemnify the Trustee; however, any reasonable delay by the Trustee to provide written notice to the Depositor and the Holders promptly after the Trustee shall have obtained knowledge of a claim shall not relieve the Trust Fund of the obligation to indemnify the Trustee under this Section 8.06; (ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.06, the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (iv) any such loss, liability or expense to be indemnified by the Trust Fund must constitute an "unanticipated expense" of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The provisions of this Section 8.06 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall be construed to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental law. (b) The Trustee shall be entitled to all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advancements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel and all persons not regularly in its employment), except any such expenses, disbursements and advancements that either (i) arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or (ii) do not constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). SECTION 8.07. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall, at all times, be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating that would not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective ratings of any Class of Certificates below the ratings issued on the Closing Date (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction). If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.07 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.08 hereof. The corporation or national banking association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its Affiliates; provided, however, that such corporation cannot be an Affiliate of the Servicer, other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer. SECTION 8.08. Resignation and Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by (1) giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Servicer by mailing notice of resignation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Certificateholders at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency, not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.09, such resignation is to take effect, and (2) acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.09 and meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.07. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located, (B) the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee and (C) the Trustee fails to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, or (iv) the Trustee fails to timely comply with Article XI hereof, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee, and the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee and one copy of which shall be delivered to the successor trustee. The Holders evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of all Classes of Certificates may at any time remove the Trustee, and the Depositor shall appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the successor trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.08 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.09 hereof. SECTION 8.09. Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.09, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor. SECTION 8.10. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for the execution of an assumption agreement where such succession is not effected by operation of law). SECTION 8.11. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of any co-trustee; provided the appointment of a co-trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligations hereunder. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.07 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.09. Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; (ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and (iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Depositor. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. SECTION 8.12. Tax Matters. (a) It is intended that each of the REMICs provided for herein shall constitute a REMIC, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to allow each such REMIC to qualify as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each of the REMICs provided for herein and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit 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 each of the REMICs provided for herein, 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; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 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 for each of the REMICs provided for herein; (c) make or cause to be made elections, on behalf of each of the REMICs provided for herein to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of such REMICs for their first taxable years (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass through entity in which a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct the affairs of each of the REMICs provided for herein at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each of the REMICs provided for herein as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for herein or result in the imposition of tax upon any such REMIC; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.12, the amount of any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each of the REMICs provided for herein prior to the termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) sign or cause to be signed federal, state or local income tax or information returns; (j) maintain records relating to each of the REMICs provided for herein, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each of the REMICs provided for herein, and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent each of the REMICs provided for herein 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 any of the REMICs provided for herein, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any of the REMICs provided for herein, and otherwise act on behalf of each of the REMICs provided for herein in relation to any tax matter involving any of such REMICs or any controversy involving the Trust Fund. In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee 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 Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby agrees to indemnify the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any of the REMICs provided for herein as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of the any of such REMICs as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Trust Fund 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 Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement or as a result of the location of the Trustee, (ii) any party hereto (other than the Trustee) to the extent any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or as a result of the location of such other party or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that any liable party here fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid first with amounts (other than amounts derived by the Trust Fund from a payment on the Swap Agreement) otherwise to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders (pro rata) pursuant to Section 4.04, and second with amounts (other than amounts derived by the Trust Fund from a payment on the Swap Agreement) otherwise to be distributed to all other Certificateholders in the following order of priority: first, to the Class X Certificates (pro rata), second, to the Class B-3 Certificates (pro rata), third, to the Class B-2 Certificates (pro rata), fourth, to the Class B-1 Certificates (pro rata), fifth, to the Class M-6 Certificates (pro rata), sixth, to the Class M-5 Certificates (pro rata), seventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates (pro rata), eighth, to the Class M-3 Certificates (pro rata), ninth, to the Class M-2 Certificates (pro rata), tenth, to the Class M-1 Certificates (pro rata), and eleventh, to the Class A and Class R Certificates (pro rata). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that such tax is payable by the Class R Certificate, the Trustee is hereby authorized pursuant to such instruction to retain on any Distribution Date, from the Holders of the Class R Certificate (and, if necessary, from the Holders of all other Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding sentence), funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay such tax. The Trustee agrees to promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof. (b) Each of the Depositor and the Trustee agrees not to take or omit to take knowingly or intentionally, any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for herein or result in the imposition of a tax upon any of the REMICs provided for herein. SECTION 8.13. X-AMB Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to, and agrees that it shall enter into the X-AMB Swap Agreement on behalf of (i) the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates on the one hand, and (ii) the Class X Certificateholders on the other hand. ARTICLE IX TERMINATION SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Repurchase of all Mortgage Loans. (a) Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) an Optional Termination and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. (b) On or before the Determination Date following the Optional Termination Date, the Servicer may, at its option, terminate the Trust Fund by purchasing all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the Optional Termination Price. In connection with such termination, the Optional Termination Price shall be delivered to the Trustee no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Optional Termination Amount paid to the Trustee by the Servicer shall be deposited by the Trustee directly into the Certificate Account immediately upon receipt. Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01(b), out of the Optional Termination Amount deposited into the Certificate Account, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall pay to the Swap Counterparty any Swap Termination Payment, and the Trustee shall pay to the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs and expenses owed to the Trustee or the Servicer and any unpaid or unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the parties hereto intend that the portion of any amount received upon an Optional Termination that is attributable to clause (D) of the definition of Optional Termination Price shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as having been paid by the Servicer directly to the Swap Counterparty (rather than having been paid to any REMIC) pursuant to the Swap Agreement. SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any Determination Date, (i) the Trustee determines based on information provided in writing by the Servicer 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 Trustee shall send a final distribution notice promptly to each Certificateholder or (ii) the Trustee determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final distribution on such Class, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders within seven (7) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee specified in such notice. Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed no later than the last calendar day of the month immediately preceding the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of 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 Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given, the Trustee shall cause all funds in the Collection Account to be deposited in the Certificate Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund, certification to the Custodian that such required amount has been deposited in the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release therefor, the Custodian shall promptly release to the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class the amounts allocable to such Certificates held in the Certificate Account in the order and priority set forth in Section 4.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. 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 Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate 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 that remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto. Upon payment to the Class R Certificateholders of such funds and assets, the Trustee shall have no further duties or obligations with respect thereto. SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event the Servicer completes an Optional Termination as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Servicer, to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any of the REMICs provided for herein as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding: (i) The Depositor shall establish a 90-day liquidation period and notify the Trustee thereof, and the Trustee shall in turn specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the final tax returns of each of the REMICs provided for herein pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Depositor shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Servicer; (ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Depositor as agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund for cash; and (iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Class R Certificateholders all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet outstanding claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time, whereupon the Trustee shall have no further duties or obligations with respect to sums distributed or credited to the Class R Certificateholders. (b) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Depositor to specify the 90-day liquidation period for the Trust Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders. (c) Upon the written request of the Depositor, the Trustee as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation as provided to it by the Depositor. The Trustee's obligation to adopt and sign such plan of complete liquidation is subject to the Trustee's receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 9.03(a)(i). In addition, the Trustee shall take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 10.01. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to (i) to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement in any Prospectus or Private Placement Memorandum related to ay of the Certificates, (iii) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, (iv) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), such amendment will not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to such effect, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder; provided, further, however, that such amendment will be deemed to not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Holder if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of its rating of any Class of 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, or (v) to comply with Regulation AB. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of any of the REMICs provided for herein as REMICs under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or any of the REMICs provided for herein pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Fund at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee shall have been provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax. This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and the Holders of the Certificates affected thereby evidencing not less than 66% of the Voting Rights 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 or (ii) 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 shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not cause the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, any of the REMICs provided for herein or the Certificateholders or cause any of the REMICs provided for herein 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 Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplement, modification or waiver which affects its rights, duties or obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swap Provider's written consent will be required for any amendment with respect to payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust or that otherwise would have a material adverse affect on the rights and interests of the Swap Provider (provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). SECTION 10.02. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans and all other assets of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, a security interest in (A) all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, (B) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing, and (C) all proceeds of the foregoing. The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the assets of the Trust Fund, 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 the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

SECTION 10.07. Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided pursuant to Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor. SECTION 10.08. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof. No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. SECTION 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights. The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Depositor or the Trustee, during the Servicer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees, agents, counsel and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Servicer hereby authorizes such accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection; all other such expenses shall be borne by the Servicer. SECTION 10.10. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.

SECTION 11.02. Form 10-D Reporting. Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the 1934 Act), the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the 1934 Act, in form and substance as required by the 1934 Act. The Trustee shall file each such Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly 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 P to the Depositor and Trustee and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit P hereto, within two calendar days after each Distribution Date for which a Form 10-D is required to be filed, (i) the parties set forth thereon shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible person thereof, in EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure together with an additional disclosure notification in the form of Exhibit R hereto (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 the related Form 10-D. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph. At least eight calendar days prior to the date a Form 10-D is due to be filed with the Commission (the "10-D Filing Deadline"), the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review. Within two calendar days of receipt, but in no event no later than the sixth calendar day prior to the 10-D Filing Deadline, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form, and the Trustee shall deliver the Form 10-D to the Servicer for execution. No later than five calendar days prior to the 10-D Filing Deadline, a duly authorized representative of the Servicer shall sign the 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 Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section 11.05. Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Trustee. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Servicer and the Trustee of their duties under this Section 11.02 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 11.02. Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, timely execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. SECTION 11.03. Form 10-K Reporting. On or prior to March 1 of each year in which a Form 10-K must be filed with respect to the Trust, the Depositor will provide to the Trustee a draft of the first page of a Form 10-K that includes the information regarding the Depositor and the Trust as approved by the Depositor for inclusion in the Form 10-K to be prepared by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.03.

Any disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K ("Additional Form 10-K Disclosure") shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit S to the Depositor and the Trustee and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit S hereto, no later than March 1 of each year that the Trust is subject to the 1934 Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007 (or March 15 with respect to the Trustee), (i) the parties set forth on Exhibit S shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K 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-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph. After preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for review. Within three Business Days of receipt, but in no event later than March 25, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K.

If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section 12.05. Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K prepared and filed by the Trustee. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 11.03 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such party (and the Custodian, Servicer and any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under Article XI. The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. SECTION 11.04. Form 8-K Reporting. Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and if requested by the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the 1934 Act, provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K ("Form 8-K Disclosure Information") shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit R to the Depositor and the Trustee and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit R hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the 1934 Act reporting requirements, no later than the end of business (New York City time) on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, 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 Form 8-K Disclosure Information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph. After preparing the Form 8-K, the Trustee shall forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review. Promptly, but no later than the close of business on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing of any changes to or approval of such Form 8-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and a duly authorized representative of the Trustee may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 8-K. A duly authorized representative of the Servicer shall sign the Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section 11.05. Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by the Trustee. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee and the Servicer of its duties under this Section 11.04 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 11.04. Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. SECTION 11.05. Delisting; Amendment; Late Filing of Reports. On or before January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust under the 1934 Act. In the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 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 Trustee shall promptly notify electronically the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A and 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the 1934 Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee 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.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee and the Servicer of their duties under this Section 12.05 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this Section. Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. SECTION 11.06. Annual Statements of Compliance. The Trustee and the Servicer shall deliver or otherwise make available (and the Trustee and the Servicer shall cause any Additional Servicer engaged by it to deliver or otherwise make available) to the Trustee on or before March 1 of each year (or with respect to the Trustee, March 15 of each year), commencing in March 2007, an Officer's Certificate (an "Item 1123 Certificate") stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of such party's activities during the preceding calendar year or applicable portion thereof and of such party's performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, has been made under such officer's supervision and (B) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, in all material respects throughout such year or applicable portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such Item 1123 Certificate, the Depositor shall review such Item 1123 Certificate and, if applicable, consult with each such party, as applicable, as to the nature of any failures by such party, in the fulfillment of any of such party's obligations hereunder or, in the case of an Additional Servicer, under such other applicable agreement. The Servicer shall include all annual statements of compliance received by it from each Subservicer with its own annual statement of compliance to be submitted to the Trustee pursuant to this Section. In the event the Servicer, the Trustee or any Additional Servicer engaged by any such party is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable agreement in the case of a Additional Servicer, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Item 1123 Certificate pursuant to this Section 11.06 or to such applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation.

No later than the end of each fiscal year for the Trust for which a 10-K is required to be filed, the Servicer shall forward to the Depositor the name of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the Assessment of Compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant. When the Servicer (or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by them) submit their Assessments of Compliance to the Depositor, such parties will also at such time include the Assessments of Compliance (and Accountant's Attestation) pursuant to Section 11.08 of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it. Promptly after receipt of each Assessment of Compliance, the Depositor shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer, the Trustee and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria by each such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of such parties will be required to deliver any Assessment of Compliance until April 15 in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year. The Servicer shall include all Assessments of Compliance received by it from the Servicers with its own Assessment of Compliance to be submitted to the Trustee pursuant to this Section. In the event the Servicer, the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Assessment of Compliance pursuant to this Section 11.07, or such other applicable agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment of resignation. The Trustee shall enforce any obligation of the Custodian, to the extent set forth in the Custodial Agreement, to deliver to the Servicer an Assessment of Compliance within the time frame set forth in, and in such form and substance as may be required pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. The Servicer shall include such Assessment of Compliance with its own Assessment of Compliance to be submitted to the Depositor pursuant to this Section. SECTION 11.08. Accountant's Attestation. By March 1 of each year (or with respect to the Trustee, March 15 of each year), commencing in 2007, the Servicer and the Trustee, each at its own expense, shall cause, and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Servicer, the Trustee or such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report (the "Accountant's Attestation") to the Depositor, to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party's compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party's assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language. Promptly after receipt of such Accountant's Attestations from the Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties, (i) the Depositor shall review the reports and, if applicable, consult with such parties as to the nature of any defaults by such parties, in the fulfillment of any of each such party's obligations hereunder or under any other applicable agreement, and (ii) the Trustee shall confirm that each Assessment of Compliance is coupled with an Accountant's Attestation meeting the requirements of this Section and notify the Depositor of any exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of such parties shall be required to deliver any such assessments until April 15 in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year. In the event the Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party, is terminated, assigns its rights and duties under, or resigns pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement, or any applicable Custodial Agreement or any applicable Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be, such party shall, at its sole expense, cause a registered public accounting firm to provide an attestation pursuant to this Section 11.08, or such other applicable agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation. The Trustee shall enforce any obligation of the Custodian, to the extent set forth in the Custodial Agreement to deliver to the Servicer an attestation as may be required pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. The Servicer shall include each such attestation with its own Accountant's Attestation to be submitted to the Depositor pursuant to this Section. SECTION 11.09. Sarbanes-Oxley Certification. Each Form 10-K shall include a certification (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Certification") required to be included therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The Depositor shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. In the event the Servicer, the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such party is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 12.09 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any applicable Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be. SECTION 11.10. Indemnification. Each party required to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant's Attestation and/or an Item 1123 Certificate under Article XI (each, a "Responsible Party") shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (a) any breach by such Responsible Party of any if its obligations under this Article XI, including particularly its obligation to provide any Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant's Attestation and/or an Item 1123 Certificate or any information, data or material required to be included in any 1934 Act report, (b) any misstatement or omission in any information, data or materials provided by such Responsible Party (or, in the case of the Trustee or Servicer, any material misstatement of material omission in (i) any Item 1123 Certificate, Assessment of Compliance or Attestation report delivered by it, or by any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it, pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure concerning the Servicer or the Trustee), or (c) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Responsible Party in connection with the performance of any if its obligations hereunder.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Responsible Parties shall be liable for consequential, indirect or punitive damages. The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor and the Trustee and each Person, if any, who "controls" the Depositor or the Trustee within the meaning of the 1933 Act and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain arising out of third party claims based on (i) the failure of any Subservicer or Subcontractor related to the Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered when required any Assessment of Compliance or Accountant's Attestation required pursuant to Section 11.08, or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in any Assessment of Compliance provided by any such Subservicer or Subcontractor pursuant to Section 11.08.
