For the purposes of this representation, “points and fees” (a) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the lender or a third party; and (b) exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections) and the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments; the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies; state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums; and other miscellaneous fees and charges, which miscellaneous fees and charges in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent of the loan amount);

(lxix) No Credit Life Policies. No Mortgagor was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g. life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, property or health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy (e.g. life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, property or health insurance product) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single-premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;

(lxxi) No Arbitration. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, neither the related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan; No Mortgagor agreed to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan.

Subsection 7.03.

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties (notwithstanding any representation and warranty given to the best of Seller’s knowledge) which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.

Within 60 days (or with respect to a breach of Subsection 7.02(xxxviii), within ten (10) days) of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the related cure period. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.01 and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. With respect to any representations and warranties made by the Seller, in the event that it is discovered that the circumstances with respect to the Mortgage Loan are not accurately reflected in such representation and warranty notwithstanding the actual knowledge or lack of knowledge of Seller, then, notwithstanding that such representation and warranty is made “to the best of the Seller’s knowledge,” or in reliance on or based on other information, there shall be a breach of such representation and Seller shall cure such breach or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan as provided in this Subsection 7.03. The Seller shall, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming that Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans; provided that such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood by the parties hereto that a breach of the representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.02 (ix), (xxxiii), (xl), (lii), (lv), (lvi), (lxiv), (lxv), (lxvi), (lxvii), (lxix), (lxx) and (lxxi) will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein.

Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Distribution Date.

At the time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Purchaser relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Repurchase Price is deposited in the Custodial Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

If the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of 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 or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS System the Seller or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required by this Agreement, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution). An amount equal to the product of the amount of such shortfall multiplied by the greater of 100% or the Purchase Price percentage specified in the related Confirmation shall be distributed by the Seller in the month of substitution pursuant to the Servicing Addendum. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to such amount.

In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Section 7. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 7.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. The indemnification obligation of the Seller set forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations, which the Seller hereby expressly waives.

Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.01 or 7.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement.

In addition to the foregoing, within 60 days of the earlier of discovery by Seller or receipt of notice by Seller of a breach of any representation of any Seller which materially and adversely affects the interests of any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge to the Purchaser.

Subsection 7.04.

Prepayment-in-Full Premium Recapture.

In the event that any Mortgage Loans prepay-in-full within three (3) months of the related Closing Date, the Seller shall remit to the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice from the Purchaser of a prepayment-in-full, the greater of (i) an amount equal to the product of (A) the excess of the related purchase price percentage over 100% and (B) the Stated Principal Balance of such prepaid Mortgage Loan as of the related Closing Date or (ii) the amount of any prepayment penalty fees paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

Subsection 7.05 .

Early Payment Default.

In the event that any Mortgagor fails to make the first scheduled Monthly Payment due on a Mortgage Loan or due to Purchaser within the calendar month such payment is due, Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice from the Purchaser of such payment default.

SECTION 8. Closing. The closing for each Mortgage Loan Package shall take place on the related Closing Date. At the Purchaser’s option, the closing shall be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree, or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall agree.

The closing for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on each Closing Date shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

(c) In addition, to the extent that the Underwriting Guidelines are modified, amended or supplemented at any time following the Initial Closing Date, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such change and provide the Purchaser a copy in both electronic and hard copy of such modification, amendment or supplement no later than five (5) Business Days following the effective date of such modification, amendment or supplement.

with respect to any Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall make the representations and warranties regarding the Seller and the Mortgage Loans as of the date of the Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction, modified to the extent necessary to accurately reflect the pool statistics of the Mortgage Loans as of the date of such Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction and supplemented by additional representations and warranties that are not unreasonable under the circumstances as of the date of such Whole Loan Transfer or Securitization Transaction, to the extent that any events or circumstances, including changes in law occurring subsequent to the related Closing Date(s), would render a related Mortgage Loan unmarketable to a material segment of the secondary mortgage or mortgage-backed securities market;

(4)

to deliver to the Purchaser for inclusion in any prospectus or other offering material such publicly available information regarding the Seller, its underwriting guidelines, its financial condition and its mortgage loan delinquency, foreclosure and loss experience and any additional information requested by the Purchaser, and to deliver to the Purchaser any similar non public, unaudited financial information, in which case the Purchaser shall bear the cost of having such information audited by certified public accountants if the Purchaser desires such an audit, or as is otherwise reasonably requested by the Purchaser and which the Seller is capable of providing without unreasonable effort or expense, and to indemnify the Purchaser and its affiliates for misstatements or omissions or any alleged misstatements or omissions contained (i) in such information and (ii) on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(8)

in connection with any securitization of any Mortgage Loans, to execute a pooling and servicing agreement, which pooling and servicing agreement may, at the Purchaser’s direction, contain contractual provisions including, but not limited to servicer advances of delinquent scheduled payments of principal and interest through liquidation (unless deemed non-recoverable) and prepayment interest shortfalls (to the extent of the monthly servicing fee payable thereto), servicing and mortgage loan representations and warranties which in form and substance conform to the representations and warranties in this Agreement and to secondary market standards for securities backed by mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and such provisions with regard to servicing responsibilities, investor reporting, segregation and deposit of principal and interest payments, custody of the Mortgage Loans, and other covenants as are required by the Purchaser and one or more nationally recognized rating agencies for mortgage pass-through transactions which are “mortgage related securities” for the purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, unless otherwise mutually agreed.

The Purchaser may terminate the Seller as servicer pursuant to this Section 16 without cause if the Purchaser provides notice to Seller 15 days prior to such termination and pays to the Seller a termination fee based on the fair market value of the related servicing rights as mutually agreed to between the Seller and the Purchaser. Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection with any such termination, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in the Purchaser’s possession all Mortgage Files, and 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, at the Seller’s sole expense.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Seller’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities as servicer under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Seller shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of the Purchaser or such successor. The termination of the Seller as servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 17 and shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the Purchaser under Subsection 7.03, 7.04 or 7.05, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Subsections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05 shall be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Seller, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement provided, however, that such successor shall not assume, and Seller shall indemnify such successor for, any and all liabilities arising out of the Seller’s acts as servicer. Any termination of the Seller as servicer pursuant to Section 12, 15 or 16 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation or remedies with respect to such claims.

The Seller shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Seller shall account for all funds. The Seller shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller as servicer, including making any transfers on the MERS System.. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Seller for amounts the Seller actually expended as servicer pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

SECTION 18. Financial Statements. The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser may make available to prospective purchasers the Seller’s financial statements for the most recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are available. The Seller also shall make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller also shall make available information on its servicing performance with respect to mortgage loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

The Seller also agrees to allow access to knowledgeable financial, accounting, origination and servicing officers of the Seller for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller, its loan origination or servicing practices or the financial statements of the Seller.

SECTION 19. Mandatory Delivery: Grant of Security Interest. The sale and delivery of each Mortgage Loan on or before the related Closing Date is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Confirmation, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Initial Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Initial Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver each of the related Mortgage Loans or one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Initial Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Initial Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Initial Purchaser subject to the Initial Purchaser’s (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan under the terms of this Agreement and the related Confirmation, and (ii) obligation to pay the related Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.

SECTION 20. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party at the address as follows:

(i) if to the Purchaser:

Attn:______________________________

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like notice. Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt).

SECTION 21. Severability Clause. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

SECTION 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 23. Governing Law. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (EXCEPT FOR SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

(A) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(B) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 20; AND

(D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 24. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Initial Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Initial Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Initial Purchaser in the course of such review. In the event, for any reason, any transaction contemplated herein is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, the Seller and the Purchaser intend that the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”), free and clear of adverse claims. In such case, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims. In such event, the related Confirmation and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Purchaser’s custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, and the Purchaser or its assignee, as the case may be, shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.

SECTION 25. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of the Seller and the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Person to whom any Mortgage Loan is transferred whether pursuant to a sale or financing and to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred. Upon any such assignment, the Person to whom such assignment is made shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and this Agreement, to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and such Purchaser, and a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller and each other Purchaser to the extent of the other related Mortgage Loan or Loans. In the event that this Agreement is assigned to any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred, the rights and benefits under this agreement which inure to the Purchaser shall inure to the benefit of both the Person to whom such Mortgage Loan is transferred and the Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of the Mortgage Loan has been transferred; provided that, the right to require a Mortgage Loan to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 7.03, 7.04 or 7.05 shall be retained solely by the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the consent of the Purchaser.

SECTION 26. Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

SECTION 27. Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

(e) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision; and

(f) the term “include” or “including” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration.

SECTION 29. Nonsolicitation. The Seller covenants and agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, to personally, by telephone, mail e-mail or otherwise, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan to refinance the Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part or provide information to any other entity to solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan in whole or in part; provided that, the foregoing shall not preclude the Seller from engaging in solicitations to the general public by newspaper, radio, television or other media which are not directed toward the Mortgagors or from refinancing the Mortgage Loan of any Mortgagor who, without solicitation, contacts the Seller to request the refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan.

The requirement of the Seller pursuant to (ii) above shall terminate on the final Reconstitution Date. Prior to incurring any out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to this paragraph, the Seller shall notify the Initial Purchaser in writing of the estimated amount of such expense. The Initial Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for any such expense following its receipt of appropriate details thereof.

SECTION 32. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the matters and transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, except to the extent otherwise set forth in writing, supersedes any prior agreement and understandings with respect to those matters and transactions.

SECTION 33. Third Party Beneficiary. For purposes of this Agreement any master servicer shall be considered a third party beneficiary to this Agreement entitled to all the rights and benefits accruing to any master servicer herein as if it were a direct party to this Agreement.

[FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER]

______________________________

(Date)

Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp.

390 Greenwich Street

New York, New York 10013

Re:

Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of ____ 1, 200_

Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to Opteum Financial Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), in connection with the sale of certain mortgage loans by the Seller to Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to (i) a Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2006, between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Purchase Agreement”), and (ii) the Confirmation, dated __________, 200_, between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Confirmation”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under my direction, have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies of the following:

The Purchase Agreement;

The Confirmation;

The Seller’s Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, as amended to date; and

Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Seller with specific reference to actions relating to the transactions covered by this opinion (the “Board Resolutions”).

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual and legal examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Seller, and upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters have not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed, among other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copied documents.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Seller has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it. The Seller has the corporate power and authority to service the Mortgage Loans, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Confirmation (sometimes collectively, the “Agreements”).

2. The Purchase Agreement and the Confirmation have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller.

3. The Purchase Agreement and the Confirmation constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms.

4. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal court or government agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Purchase Agreement and the Confirmation, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Confirmation, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.

5. Neither the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller as provided in the Purchase Agreement and the Confirmation, nor the fulfillment of the terms of or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and the Confirmation will result in a breach of any term or provision of the Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Seller, or, to the best of my knowledge, will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, (i) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) any State of Delaware or federal statute or regulation applicable to the Seller, or (iii) any order of any State of Delaware or federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Seller, except in any such case where the default, breach or violation would not have a material adverse effect on the Seller or its ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

6. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Seller which, in my judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would draw into question the validity of the Purchase Agreement or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

7. The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the Seller thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.

8. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form and upon completion will be acceptable for recording under the laws of the State of Delaware. When endorsed, as provided in the Agreement, the Mortgage Notes will be duly endorsed under Delaware law.

The opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

A. I have assumed that all parties to the Agreements other than the Seller have all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under each of the Agreements, and that the Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such parties, have been executed and delivered by such parties and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties.

B. My opinion expressed in paragraphs 3 and 7 above is subject to the qualifications that (i) the enforceability of the Agreements may be limited by the effect of laws relating to (1) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, and (2) general principles of equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Agreements and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and the application of principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for such enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion herein with respect to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability of (a) provisions for indemnification in the Agreements to the extent such provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy or (b) Section 19 of the Purchase Agreement.

C. I have assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no agreements or understandings among the Seller, the Purchaser and any other party which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the documents described herein or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

I am admitted to practice in the State of ___________, and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of _________ and the Federal laws of the United States of America.

Very truly yours,

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage File shall include each of the following items, which shall be available for inspection by the Purchaser and which shall be retained by the Seller or delivered to the Purchaser:

1.	The following documents (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Documents”)

If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the last endorsee in a merger, the endorsement must be by “[name of last endorsee], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the last endorsee while doing business under another name, the endorsement must be by “[name of last endorsee], formerly known as [previous name]”;

If in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller has not delivered or caused to be delivered the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the related Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because such public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage certified by the applicable Seller, escrow agent, title insurer or closing attorney to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage and (ii) in the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage;

SERVICING ADDENDUM

Subsection 11.01 Seller to Act as Servicer.

The Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement, all applicable laws, rules and regulations and the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Seller’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence will cure a default by the mortgagor or prevent a reasonable foreseeable default, and is not materially adverse to the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Seller shall not permit any waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof or of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make additional advances of additional principal or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Property. If reasonably required by the Seller, the Purchaser shall furnish the Seller with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Seller to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment in full or in part of a Mortgage Loan, the Seller may not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Seller determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the Mortgage Loan, and the waiver of such Prepayment Charge is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including the waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of the Mortgage Loan related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default) or (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by subsequent changes in applicable law. In no event shall the Seller 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. If the Seller 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 Seller, other than as provided above, the Seller shall deposit the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Custodial Account at the time of such prepayment for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Servicer shall notify MERS of the ownership interest of Purchaser in each MOM Loan through the MORNET system or MIDANET system, as applicable, or any other comparable system acceptable to MERS. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Purchaser may direct Servicer to cause any MOM Loan to be deactivated from the MERS System or to change the Pool Field designation of a Mortgage Loan.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent mortgage loan servicing institutions and the Purchaser’s reliance on the Seller.

The Seller will furnish, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information Company, on a monthly basis.

Subsection 11.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Seller shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Seller shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.

Subsection 11.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Seller shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Mortgaged Properties as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Subsection 11.01. The Seller shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Seller shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property in excess of $2,000 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Seller through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Subsection 11.05. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Seller shall take such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Purchaser. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or more, the Seller shall commence foreclosure proceedings, provided that prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Seller’s intention to do so, and the Seller shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects to such action within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and shall provide monthly reports to the Purchaser or its designee regarding the status of such Mortgage Loans from the time such Mortgage Loan becomes 90 days delinquent through the liquidation of such Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such foreclosure proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Subsection 11.05.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Seller has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property the Seller shall not either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action, with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Purchaser would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Seller has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:

(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Subsection 11.03 shall be advanced by the Seller, subject to the Seller’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(vii).

If the Seller determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Seller shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser; provided that the Seller shall not expend more than $2,000 with respect to the foregoing without the consent of the Purchaser. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Seller, subject to the Seller’s right to be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(vii).

(c) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Seller for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination, to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Seller as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Seller pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii).

Subsection 11.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.

The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a Custodial Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 6.

The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:

(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments received during the related Prepayment Period, on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, including all Prepayment Charges received during the related Prepayment Period or payable pursuant to Subsection 11.01;

(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds;

(iv) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Subsections 11.10 and 11.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the loan documents or applicable law;

(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;

(vi) with respect to any Distribution Date following the date of any Securitization Transaction, all Monthly Advances;

(vii) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Subsections 7.03 or 7.05 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with Subsection 7.04 or in connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 7.03;

(viii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 11.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy. Such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor;

(ix) any amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Subsection 11.13;

(x) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsections 11.19, 11.20 or 11.25;

(xi) with respect to any Distribution Date following the date of any Securitization Transaction, with respect to each Principal Prepayment in full or in part received during the related Prepayment Period, an amount (to be paid by the Seller out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with such Principal Prepayment, equals one month’s interest on the amount of principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate of deposits made by the Seller pursuant to this clause (xi) exceed the aggregate amount of the Seller’s servicing compensation received in the calendar month in which such deposits are required; and

(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Subsection 11.33 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Custodial Account;

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Subsection 11.01, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account. Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any interest or earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller and the Seller shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii). The Seller shall give notice to the Purchaser of the location of the Custodial Account when established and prior to any change thereof.

If the balance on deposit in the Custodial Account exceeds $100,000 (other than any Buydown Funds not yet due to the Purchaser) as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Custodial Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Account, the Seller shall, on or before twelve o’clock noon Eastern time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Custodial Account any and all amounts payable to the Purchaser and remit such amounts to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Subsection 11.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.

The Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i) to make distributions to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Subsection 11.14;

(ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) respecting which any such advance was made it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.05, the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.05, and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans;

(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Seller from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.05, the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.05 and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans;

(iv) to pay to itself pursuant to Subsection 11.22 as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Distribution Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest on a particular Mortgage Loan;

(v) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.05 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is determined;

(vi) to reimburse itself for any Monthly Advance previously made which the Seller has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance;

(vii) to pay, or to reimburse itself for advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 11.03(b), but only to the extent of amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans to which such expense is attributable;

(viii) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account on the termination of this Agreement.

The Seller shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii) - (vii) above. The Seller shall provide written notification in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to the Purchaser, on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above.

Subsection 11.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.

The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by Escrow Account Letter Agreement in the form of Exhibit 7.

The Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Seller shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Subsection 11.08. The Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Seller shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

Subsection 11.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Seller (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Seller for any Servicing Advance made by the Seller with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Seller, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, or (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

Subsection 11.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies and LPMI Policies; Collections Thereunder.

(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of Primary Insurance Policy and LPMI Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including insurance renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Seller assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments and such amounts shall not be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. The obligation of the Seller to make such Servicing Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Seller if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Seller that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Purchaser.

The Seller shall maintain in full force and effect, a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage shall be maintained until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount for which Fannie Mae no longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy in effect on the related Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such cancelled or non- renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Seller shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Subsection 11.19, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05.

Subsection 11.09 Transfer of Accounts.

The Seller may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be Eligible Accounts.

Subsection 11.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any hazard insurance policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any hazard insurance policy. The Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus, with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the outstanding principal balance of the First Lien Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, the Seller will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Seller also shall maintain on any REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus, with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the outstanding principal balance of the First Lien Mortgage Loan, at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related Servicing Advances, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05. Any cost incurred by the Seller in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Purchaser, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Seller or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Seller, or upon request to the Purchaser, and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of, or material change in, coverage to the Seller. The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating of A:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Subsection 11.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.

In the event that the Seller shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:X insuring against hazard losses on all Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Subsection 11.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Subsection 11.10, the Seller shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Subsection 11.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Seller shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Subsection 11.10, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial 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 Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Subsection 11.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac if the Seller were servicing the Mortgage Loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as the case may be, on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Seller against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall also protect and insure the Seller against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Subsection 11.12 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Seller from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Servicing Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Sellers’ and Servicers’ Guide if the Seller were servicing the Mortgage Loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as the case may be. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of the fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Seller shall provide copies of the fidelity bond and insurance policy at each renewal of such policy.

Subsection 11.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the person designated by the Purchaser, or in the event such person is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Seller from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property are held, the Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code. The Seller shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter. The Seller shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Seller determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than one year is necessary to sell any REO property, (i) the Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage shall name the Seller as mortgagee, and a separate servicing agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser shall be entered into with respect to such purchase money mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, such REO Property shall be disposed of within three years or such other period as may be permitted under Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

With respect to each REO Property, the Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall establish and maintain a sub-account of the Custodial Account for each REO Property.

The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in each Custodial sub-account all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Subsection 11.10 hereof and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Seller. The Seller shall not be entitled to retain interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in such Custodial sub-account. On or before each Determination Date, the Seller shall withdraw from each Custodial sub-account and deposit into the Custodial Account the net income from the REO Property on deposit in the Custodial sub-account.

The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Seller at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Seller deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. If as of the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Seller, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment to the Seller as provided above, shall be deposited in the Custodial sub-account and shall be transferred to the Custodial Account on the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof for distribution on the succeeding Distribution Date in accordance with Subsection 5.01.

Subsection 11.14 Distributions.

On each Distribution Date, the Seller shall distribute to the Purchaser all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05; plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Seller is obligated to distribute pursuant to Subsection 11.21, minus (iii) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received after the related Prepayment Period, (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date and (iv) any Buydown Funds held for distribution to the Purchaser on a subsequent Distribution Date.

All distributions made to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date will be made to the Purchaser of record on the preceding Record Date, and shall be based on the Mortgage Loans owned and held by the Purchaser, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Purchaser at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if the Purchaser shall have so notified the Seller or by check mailed to the address of the Purchaser.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by JPMorgan Chase Bank, New York, New York, as its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Seller.

Subsection 11.15 Remittance Reports and Surveillance Data.

(a) No later than the fifth Business Day of each month, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser or its designee a computer tape containing, and a hard copy of, monthly data in a form mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller. On the Business Day following each Determination Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee by telecopy (or by such other means as the Seller and the Purchaser may agree from time to time) a computer tape containing, and a hard copy of, the determination data with respect to the related Distribution Date, together with such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser may reasonably require to allocate distributions made pursuant to this Agreement and provide appropriate statements with respect to such distributions. On the same date, the Seller shall forward to the Purchaser by overnight mail a computer readable magnetic tape containing the information set forth in the Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date.

(b) In addition, no later than the fifth Business Day of each month, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser or its designee an electronic copy and hard copy of the surveillance data set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.

Subsection 11.16 Statements to the Purchaser.

Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Seller shall forward to the Purchaser or its designee a statement prepared by the Seller, in the form of Fannie Mae’s Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program, setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Custodial Account of each category of deposit specified in Subsection 11.04 and each category of withdrawal specified in Subsection 11.05.

In addition, not more than sixty days after the end of each calendar year, the Seller shall furnish to each Person who was the Purchaser at any time during such calendar year, (i) as to the aggregate of remittances for the applicable portion of such year, an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law, and (ii) a listing of the principal balances of the Mortgage Loans outstanding at the end of such calendar year.

The Seller shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to any Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as any Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

Subsection 11.17 Real Estate Owned Reports.

Together with the statement furnished pursuant to Subsection 11.13, with respect to any REO Property, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser a statement (in a form mutually agreeable to the Purchaser and the Seller) covering the Seller’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month, together with the operating statement. Such statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.

Subsection 11.18 Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in support of any action taken by the Seller in regard to such liquidation.

Subsection 11.19 Assumption Agreements.

The Seller shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Seller shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any. If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Seller shall enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where applicable law requires a release of the Mortgagor, the Seller, with the prior written consent of the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, Mortgage Interest Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, and the final maturity date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document 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. Any fee collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement in excess of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this subsection or any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Subsection 11.19, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Subsection 11.20 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification of a servicing officer of the Seller (a “Servicing Officer”), which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.04 have been or will be so deposited, and shall request execution of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Purchaser, shall promptly release the related mortgage documents to the Seller and the Seller shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Purchaser.

In the event the Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Seller, upon written demand, shall remit to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall maintain the fidelity bond insuring the Seller against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy or LPMI Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the requested portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Seller. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Seller to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Seller no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has 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 either judicially or non-judicially, and the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Seller.

Subsection 11.21 Monthly Advances by the Seller.

(a) Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date following the date of a Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Seller, whether or not deferred pursuant to Subsection 11.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, at the Mortgage Interest Rate net of the Servicing Fee, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date.

(b) The obligation of the Seller to make such Monthly Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Monthly Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Seller if such Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance. The determination by the Seller that it has made a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or that any proposed Monthly Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Purchaser.

Subsection 11.22 Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its services hereunder, the Seller shall, subject to Subsection 11.04(xi), be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Seller’s Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Subsection 11.19, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall not be permitted to retain any portion of the Prepayment Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans, which Prepayment Charges shall be remitted to the Purchaser. The Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for.

Subsection 11.23 Special Remittance Provisions for Principal Prepayments.

The Purchaser shall have the right to direct the Servicer to modify the remittance cycle applicable to Principal Payments received on any Mortgage Loan by remitting to the Purchaser on any Distribution Date all Principal Prepayments in full received by the Servicer prior to the related Determination Date, plus any interest collected on such Principal Prepayments, to the extent not previously remitted to the Purchaser. In connection with the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to pay the amount set forth in Subsection 11.04 (xi) with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and the report by the Servicer shall reflect such revised remittance cycle.

Subsection 11.24 Statement as to Compliance.

(a) The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser not later than February 28^th of each year, an Officers’ Certificate (each, an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Seller during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

(b) The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and its officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Seller or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Subsection 11.24 and Subsection 11.25 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, then the Seller agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one hand and the Seller on the other in connection with a breach of the Seller’s obligations under this Subsection 11.24 or Subsection 11.25 or the Seller’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

Subsection 11.25 Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.

Not later than February 28th of each year, the Seller at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (which may also render other services to the Seller) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser or its designee to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements (including the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement) substantially similar one to another (such statement to have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby) and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm confirms that such servicing has been conducted in compliance with such pooling and servicing agreements except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to report. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.

Subsection 11.26 Notification of Adjustments.

On each Adjustment Date, the Seller shall make interest rate adjustments for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Seller shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note regarding interest rate adjustments. The Seller also shall provide timely notification to the Purchaser of all applicable data and information regarding such interest rate adjustments and the Seller’s methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser that the Seller has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Seller shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor.

Subsection 11.27 Access to Certain Documentation.

The Seller shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over the Purchaser access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Seller required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Seller. In addition, access to the documentation will be provided to the Purchaser and any Person identified to the Seller by the Purchaser without charge, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Seller.

Subsection 11.28 Reports and Returns to be Filed by the Seller.

The Seller shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Subsection 11.29 Compliance with REMIC Provisions.

If a REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Seller shall not take any action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Seller has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any such tax.

Subsection 11.30 Superior Liens.

With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, for the protection of the Purchaser’s interest, file (or cause to be filed) of record a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder’s equity of redemption. The Seller shall also notify any superior lienholder in writing of the existence of the Mortgage Loan and request notification of any action (as described below) to be taken against the Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property by the superior lienholder.

If the Seller is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the superior lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the superior mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Seller shall take whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and/or to preserve the security of the related Mortgage Loan, subject to any requirements applicable to real estate mortgage investment conduits pursuant to the Code. The Seller shall make a Servicing Advance of the funds necessary to cure the default or reinstate the superior lien if the Seller determines that such Servicing Advance is in the best interests of the Purchaser. The Seller shall not make such a Servicing Advance except to the extent that it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such advance will be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced.

Subsection 11.31 Officer’s Certificates.

Not later than the end of each calendar year, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee an Officer’s Certificate stating that (i) the Seller is an approved seller/servicer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in good standing and is a HUD approved mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 of the National Housing Act, and that no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make the Seller unable to comply with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or HUD eligibility requirements or which would require notification to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or HUD and (ii) in the event any Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller is a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the MERS Mortgage Loans for as long as such Mortgage Loans are registered with MERS. In addition, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee a notice in the event that the Seller fails to meet such eligibility requirements.

Subsection 11.32 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account.

The Seller may direct any depository institution maintaining the Custodial Account to invest the funds on deposit in such account, (each such account, for the purposes of this Subsection 11.33, an “Investment Account”). All investments pursuant to this Subsection 11.33 shall be in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Subsection 11.04. The Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss.

Subsection 11.33 Subservicing Agreements Between the Seller and Subservicers.

The Seller, as servicer, may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement; provided that 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. Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Seller or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through the Seller or otherwise, the Seller shall remain obligated and liable to the Purchaser and its successors and assigns 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 Seller alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Seller shall contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option to terminate such agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related Subservicing Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Seller with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Seller.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Seller 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 Seller.

Subsection 11.34 Successor Subservicers.

Any Subservicing Agreement shall provide that the Seller shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Subsection 11.34. Any Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by any successor to the Seller without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Seller (or any successor to the Seller) shall, for any reason, no longer be the servicer of the related Mortgage Loans (including termination due to an Event of Default).

Subsection 11.35 No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Purchaser.

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Seller alone and the Purchaser shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer except as set forth in Subsection 11.34.

THIS ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT, dated ____________, 200__, (“Agreement”) among Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (“Assignor”), ________________________ (“Assignee”) and _____________ (the “Company”):

For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Assignment and Conveyance

1. The Assignor hereby conveys, sells, grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee (x) all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as purchaser, in, to and under (a) those certain Mortgage Loans listed as being originated by the Company on the schedule (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Mortgage Loans”) and (b) except as described below, that certain Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement dated as of ____________, 20__, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Assignor, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”), and the Company, as seller, solely insofar as the Purchase Agreement relates to the Mortgage Loans and (y) other than as provided below with respect to the enforcement of representations and warranties, none of the obligations of the Assignor under the Purchase Agreement.

The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder any and all right, title and interest in, to and under and any obligations of the Assignor with respect to the servicing rights or any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase Agreement which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and are not the subject of this Agreement.

The Assignor and the Assignee each hereby retain the right to enforce the representations and warranties set forth in Subsection 7.01 and Subsection 7.02 with respect to the Company and the Mortgage Loans against the Company; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Repurchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loan more than once in connection with the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03, 7.04 or 7.05 of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the right to require the Company to repurchase a Mortgage Loan shall be exercised solely the Assignee, its successors and assigns.

Recognition of the Company

2. [For Securitization Transactions include this sentence: From and after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to ______________________________ (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of _______________, 200__ (the “Pooling Agreement”), among the Assignee, the Assignor, ____________________, as trustee (including its successors in interest and any successor trustees under the Pooling Agreement, the “Trustee”), _________________________, as servicer (including its successors in interest and any successor servicer under the Pooling Agreement, the “Servicer”).] The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that from and after the date hereof (i) the [Trust][Assignee] will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the Company shall look solely to the [Trust][Assignee] for performance of any obligations of the Assignor insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties and covenants with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (iii) the [Assignee][Trust (including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf)] shall have all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, under the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the enforcement of the document delivery requirements and remedies with respect to breaches of representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and shall be entitled to enforce all of the obligations of the Company thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, and (iv) all references to the Purchaser (insofar as they relate to the rights, title and interest and, with respect to obligations of the Purchaser, only insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company under the Purchase Agreement insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, shall be deemed to refer to the [Assignee] [Trust (including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf)]. Neither the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver, or otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement which amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect the Mortgage Loans or the Company’s performance under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of the [Assignee][Trustee.]

Representations and Warranties of the Company

3. The Company warrants and represents to the Assignor, the Assignee [and the Trust] as of the date hereof that:

(a) The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

(b) The Company has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and has full power and authority to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The execution by the Company of this Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Company’s charter or bylaws or any legal restriction, or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is subject. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the Assignee, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(c) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or made by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement; and

(d) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, and the Company is solvent.

4. Pursuant to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor, the Assignee [and the Trust,] that the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement, are true and correct as of the date hereof as if such representations and warranties were made on the date hereof except that the representation and warranty set forth in Subsection 7.02(i) shall, for purposes of this Agreement, relate to the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto.

[Additional Representations and Warranties Necessary for Securitization]

Remedies for Breach of Representations and Warranties

5. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies available to the Assignor, the Assignee [and the Trust (including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf)] in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall be as set forth in Subsection 7.03 of the Purchase Agreement as if they were set forth herein (including without limitation the repurchase and indemnity obligations set forth therein).

Miscellaneous

6. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

7. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced[, with the prior written consent of the Trustee].

8. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of [(i)] the successors and assigns of the parties hereto [and (ii) the Trust (including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf)]. Any entity into which Assignor, Assignee or Company may be merged or consolidated shall, without the requirement for any further writing, be deemed Assignor, Assignee or Company, respectively, hereunder.

9. Each of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement shall survive the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the assignment of the Purchase Agreement (to the extent assigned hereunder) by Assignor to Assignee [and by Assignee to the Trust] and nothing contained herein shall supersede or amend the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

10. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11. In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

12. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

Indemnification Agreement dated as of _________ __, 200__ (the “Agreement”) between _____________ (the “Company”) and _____________________ (the “Depositor”).

Reference is made to the issuance of ____________________, Series ________, Asset-Backed Certificates (the “Certificates”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of _______________ (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor as depositor, _________________ as master servicer and _____________________ as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Depositor will sell certain of the Certificates to _______________ (the “Underwriter”) for offer and sale pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting Agreement, dated ______________, ____ (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Depositor and the Underwriter. Further reference is made to the Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of ____________, 20__ between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (“CGMRC”) which agreement was assigned to the Depositor pursuant to the terms of the Assignment as Recognition Agreement dated as of ______ among the Company, ___________ and CGMRC. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Reference is also made to the information provided by ____________ contained in the Prospectus Supplement, including any supplement or amendment thereto, under the caption, “The Originators—______________” and “__________” (the “Company Information”).

1. Pursuant to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement:

(a) Company (also referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, the Depositor and each of their directors and officers and affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter or the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Indemnified Party”), against any and all actual losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Company Information or omission or alleged omission to state therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading (in each case, regardless of whether a final judgment has been entered by a finder of fact) or (y) any material misstatement or omission or alleged material misstatement or omission contained in the Prospectus Supplement regarding information or statistics therein regarding the Mortgage Loans based on information correctly derived by the Depositor or its affiliates and included in the Prospectus Supplement from information actually provided to the Depositor or its affiliates by Company; and will reimburse any such reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Company may otherwise have.

(b) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Party under this Section 1 of notice of the commencement of any action described therein, the Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under this Section 1, notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party (a) under this Agreement except to the extent that the omission to notify the Indemnifying Party with respect to this Agreement materially adversely affects the Indemnifying Party’s ability to perform under this Agreement or (b) otherwise than under this Agreement. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish to do so, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party under this Section 1, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing; (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel; (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party) or (iv) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in which case, if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for the Indemnified Party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Depositor or any of the Depositor’s directors, officers or controlling persons.

The Indemnified Party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Section 1(a) and Section 1(b), shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such action or claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability (to the extent set forth in Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) as applicable) by reason of such settlement or judgment.

2. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by facsimile and confirmed by similar mailed writing as follows: (i) if to Company: ________________, [__], Attention: [__], and (ii) if to the Depositor: ____________________________________, Facsimile (___) ___-____, Attention: Legal. Any party hereto may alter the address to which communications or copies are to be sent by giving notice of such change of address in conformity with the provisions of this Section for the giving of notice.

3. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.

4. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor and Company have caused their names to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
