Each Class of Certificates (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates), other than the right of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls and the right of the Class X Certificates to receive payments from the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Cap Agreements and the Class IO Shortfalls, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class R Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each of Pooling Tier REMIC-1, Pooling Tier REMIC-2, the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Startup Day for each Trust REMIC is the Closing Date. The latest possible maturity date for each regular interest is the latest date referenced in Section 2.06. The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, set out below. The Lower Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests. Pooling Tier REMIC-2 shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests. Pooling Tier REMIC-1 shall hold as assets the assets of the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Cap Agreements, (iii) the Swap Account, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account, and (v) the right of the LIBOR Certificates to receive Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls). For federal income tax purposes, the Class P Certificates represent beneficial ownership of the Prepayment Charges, each Class of LIBOR Certificates represents beneficial ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC and the right to receive Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts, and the Class X Certificates represent beneficial ownership of two regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and the right to receive payments from the Class IO Shortfalls, the Excess Reserve Fund Account, the Swap Account, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Cap Agreements, which portions of the Trust Fund shall be treated as a grantor trust. Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Pooling Tier REMIC-1 shall issue the following interests in Pooling Tier REMIC-1, and each such interest, other than the Class PT1-R Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Pooling Tier REMIC-1.

(2) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate (its "Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rate") equal to the product of (i) 2 and (ii) the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Net WAC Rate, subject to a maximum rate of 10.66%. (3) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate (its "Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rate") equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the product of (i) 2 and (ii) the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Net WAC Rate over (B) 10.66%. (4) The Class PT1-R Interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall first pay from the Trust Fund and charge as an expense of Pooling Tier REMIC-1 all expenses of the Trust for such Distribution Date. Such expense, other than Servicing Fees, Loan Performance Advisor Fees and Securities Administrator Fees, shall be allocated in the same manner as Realized Losses. On each Distribution Date, the interest distributable in respect of the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date shall be deemed to be distributed to the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests at the rates shown above. On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses, Subsequent Recoveries and payments of principal in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including, for the first Distribution Date only, the Closing Date Deposit Amount) shall be allocated to the outstanding Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest with the lowest numerical denomination until the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Principal Amount of such interest or interests, as the case may be, is reduced to zero, provided that, with respect to Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses and payments of principal shall be allocated pro rata between such Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests. Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Pooling Tier REMIC-2 shall issue the following interests in Pooling Tier REMIC-2, and each such interest, other than the Class PT2-R Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in Pooling Tier REMIC-2. The Class PT2-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in Pooling Tier REMIC-2 and shall be represented by the Class R Certificates.

------------ (1) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate (its "Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Net WAC Rate. (2) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate (its "Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted average of the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests and having an "A" in their class designation, provided that, on each Distribution Date on which interest is distributable on the Corresponding Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest, this Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Swap LIBOR subject to a maximum rate equal to the weighted average of the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests and having an "A" in their class designation. (3) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate (its "Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted average of the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests and having a "B" in their class designation. (4) Each Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest is an interest-only interest and does not have a principal balance but has a notional balance ("Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Notional Balance") equal to the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Principal Amount of the Corresponding Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest. From the Closing Date through and including the Corresponding Scheduled Crossover Distribution Date, each Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest shall be entitled to receive interest that accrues on the Corresponding Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rate for the Corresponding Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest over (ii) Swap LIBOR. After the related Corresponding Scheduled Crossover Distribution Date, the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest shall not accrue interest. (5) The Class PT2-R Interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest. On each Distribution Date, the interest distributable in respect of the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests at the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates shown above. On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses, Subsequent Recoveries and payments of principal in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including, for the first Distribution Date only, the Closing Date Deposit Amount) shall be allocated to the then outstanding Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests (other than the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests) with the lowest numerical denomination until the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Principal Amount of such interest or interests, as the case may be, is reduced to zero, provided that, for Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests Mortgage Loans with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses, Subsequent Recoveries and payments of principal shall be allocated pro rata between such Pooling Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests. Lower Tier REMIC The Lower Tier REMIC shall issue the following interests, and each such interest, other than the Class LT-R Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. The Class LT-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC and shall be represented by the Class R Certificates.

------------------------------ (1) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these interests is a per annum variable rate equal to the Lower Tier REMIC Net WAC Rate. (2) This Lower Tier Regular Interest is an interest-only interest and does not have a Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount. On each Distribution Date, this Lower Tier Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest distributable on the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests. (3) The Class LT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC and it does not have a principal amount or an interest rate. Each Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. The Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2, Class LT-A-3, Class LT-M-1, Class LT-M-2, Class LT-M-3, Class LT-B-1, Class LT-B-2 and Class LT-B-3 Interests are hereby designated the LT Accretion Directed Classes (the "LT Accretion Directed Classes"). On each Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the Subordinated Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount of the LT Accretion Directed Classes (each such Class will be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the Subordinated Amount that is attributable to a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of its Corresponding Class) and shall be accrued and added to the Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest. On each Distribution Date, the increase in the Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest may not exceed interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the Class LT-Accrual Interest. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage Loans (including, for the first Distribution Date only, the Closing Date Deposit Amount) and all Subsequent Recoveries allocable to principal shall be allocated (i) 50% to the Class LT-Accrual Interest and (ii) 50% to the LT Accretion Directed Classes (such principal payments and Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated among such LT Accretion Directed Classes in an amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts and Subsequent Recoveries allocated to their respective Corresponding Classes), until paid in full. Notwithstanding the above, principal payments allocated to the Class X Interest that result in the reduction in the Subordinated Amount shall be allocated to the Class LT-Accrual Interest (until paid in full). Reductions to Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amounts as a result of Realized Losses and increases in Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amounts as a result of Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied so that after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the Lower Tier REMIC Principal Amount of each LT Accretion Directed Class is equal to 50% of the Class Certificate Balance of its Corresponding Class and (ii) the Class LT-Accrual Interest is equal to 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans plus 50% of the Subordinated Amount. Upper Tier REMIC The Upper Tier REMIC shall issue the following classes of Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interests and each such interest, other than the Class UT-R Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class UT-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and shall be represented by the Class R Certificates. Initial Upper Corresponding Upper Tier REMIC Upper Tier REMIC Tier REMIC Class of Class Designation Interest Rate Principal Amount Certificates ----------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------------- Class A-1 (1) $ 360,025,000 Class A-1 Class A-2 (1) $ 158,409,000 Class A-2 Class A-3 (1) $ 171,822,000 Class A-3 Class M-1 (1) $ 49,996,000 Class M-1 Class M-2 (1) $ 37,496,000 Class M-2 Class M-3 (1) $ 10,483,000 Class M-3 Class B-1 (1) $ 5,644,000 Class B-1 Class B-2 (1) $ 4,435,000 Class B-2 Class B-3 (1) $ 4,032,000 Class B-3 Class IO (2) (4) Class X (3) $ 4,032,743 Class X (3) Class UT-R (4) $ 0 Class R ------------ (1) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this interest shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Pass-Through Rate (determined without regard to the Net WAC Rate Cap) for the Corresponding Class of Certificates and (ii) the Upper Tier REMIC Net WAC Rate. (2) This interest is an interest-only interest and does not have a principal balance. On each Distribution Date, the Class IO Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest distributable on the Class LT-IO Interest. This interest shall be beneficially owned by the holders of the Class X Certificates and shall be held as an asset of the Swap Account. (3) The Class X Interest has an initial principal balance of $4,032,743 but it will not accrue interest on such balance but will accrue interest on a notional principal balance. As of any Distribution Date, the Class X Interest shall have a notional principal balance equal to the aggregate of the Lower Tier Principal Amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests (other than the Class LT-IO Interest) as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period, the Class X Interest shall bear interest at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of the Lower Tier REMIC Net WAC Rate over the product of (i) 2 and (ii) the weighted average Lower Tier REMIC Interest Rate of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests (other than Class LT-IO Interest), where the Lower Tier REMIC Interest Rate on the Class LT-Accrual Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each LT-Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Upper Tier Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class of Upper Tier Regular Interest. With respect to any Distribution Date, interest that so accrues on the notional principal balance of the Class X Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to any increase in the Subordinated Amount on such Distribution Date. Such deferred interest shall not itself bear interest. (4) The Class UT-R Interest does not have an interest rate or a principal balance. On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect of the Lower Tier Interests for such Distribution Date shall be deemed to be distributed on the interests in the Upper Tier REMIC at the rates shown above, provided that the Class IO Interest shall be entitled to receive interest before any other interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses, Subsequent Recoveries and all payments of principal shall be allocated to the Upper Tier Interests until the outstanding principal balance of each such interest equals the outstanding Class Certificate Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates as of such Distribution Date. Certificates Class Pass-Through Class Certificate Class Designation Rate Balance ----------------- ------------------ ----------------- Class A-1 (5) (1) $ 360,025,000 Class A-2 (5) (1) $ 158,409,000 Class A-3 (5) (1) $ 171,822,000 Class M-1 (5) (2) $ 49,996,000 Class M-2 (5) (2) $ 37,496,000 Class M-3 (5) (2) $ 10,483,000 Class B-1 (5) (2) $ 5,644,000 Class B-2 (5) (2) $ 4,435,000 Class B-3 (5) (2) $ 4,032,000 Class X (3) (3) Class R (4) $ 0 ------------ (1) The Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates will bear interest during each Interest Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus the applicable Pass-Through Margin and (ii) the Net WAC Rate Cap. (2) The Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates will bear interest during each Interest Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus the applicable Pass-Through Margin and (ii) the Net WAC Rate Cap. (3) The Class X Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of the Class X Interest, the Class IO Interest, the right to receive Class IO Shortfalls, the Cap Agreements, amounts in the Swap Account, subject to the obligation to pay Net Swap Payments to the Swap Provider and Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts to the LIBOR Certificates and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts to the LIBOR Certificates and amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to the obligation to make payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account in respect of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts to the LIBOR Certificates. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will treat a Class X Certificateholder's obligation to make payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts to the LIBOR Certificates from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Swap Account to the LIBOR Certificateholders as payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of each Class of LIBOR Certificates. Such rights of the Class X Certificateholders and LIBOR Certificateholders shall be treated as held in a portion of the Trust Fund that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code. The Class X Certificates do not have a Class Certificate Balance. (4) The Class R Certificates do not have a principal balance or an interest rate. (5) Each of these Certificates will represent not only the ownership of the Corresponding Class of Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest but also the right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Swap Account in respect of any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, from the Swap Account in respect of Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts. Each of these Certificates will also be subject to the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls as described in Section 8.13. For federal income tax purposes, any amount distributed on the LIBOR Certificates on any such Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on their Corresponding Class of Upper Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Swap Account, as applicable, and any amount distributable on such Corresponding Class of Upper Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on the Corresponding Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to the Swap Account, all pursuant to, and as further provided in Section 8.13. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will treat a LIBOR Certificateholder's right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Swap Account as payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders. The minimum denomination for each Class of Certificates, other than the Class P, Class R and the Class X Certificates, will be $25,000 with integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount. The minimum denomination for each of the Class P and Class X Certificates will be a 1% Percentage Interest in such Class, and the minimum denomination for the Class R Certificates shall be 100% Percentage Interest in such Class.

Upon discovery by any of the Responsible Party, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the NIM Insurer or the Servicer of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. (d) Within 30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Responsible Party that any Mortgage Loan does not conform to the requirements as determined in the Custodian's review of the related Custodial File or within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Responsible Party of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trustee, or the Certificateholders therein, the Responsible Party shall use its best efforts to cause to be remedied a material defect in a document constituting part of a Mortgage File or promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such defect or breach cannot be remedied, the Responsible Party shall, at the Depositor's option as specified in writing and provided to the Responsible Party, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee, (i) if such 30- or 60-day period, as applicable, expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03; or (ii) repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J, and the delivery of the Mortgage File to the Custodian for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.01 and except for Servicing Advances) and the Servicer shall not (i) (unless, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.01(c), the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (except for a reduction of interest payments resulting from the application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any similar state statutes) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the startup day" under the REMIC Provisions, or (iii) except as provided in Section 3.07(a), waive any Prepayment Charges. With respect to any modification referred to in clause (i) above, in the event the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer shall give written notice to the NIM Insurer prior to any such modification. The NIM Insurer's prior written consent shall be required for any such modification if the aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified exceeds 5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. The Servicer may perform such modification if the Servicer does not receive notice from the NIM Insurer stating that such modification requires the consent of the NIM Insurer, as set forth above, within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the NIM Insurer of such Servicer's notice. (d) The Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement. Section 3.02 Subservicing Agreements between the Servicer and Subservicers. (a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans ("Subservicing Agreements"). The Servicer represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that no Subservicing Agreement is in effect as of the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loans required to be serviced by it hereunder. The Servicer shall give notice to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee of any such Subservicer and Subservicing Agreement, which notice shall contain all information (including without limitation a copy of the Subservicing Agreement and any amendments or modifications thereof) reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act). No Subservicing Agreement shall be effective (i) until 30 days after such written notice is received by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee and (ii) unless the NIM Insurer shall have consented to such Subservicing Agreement. The Trustee shall not be required to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements and shall have no liability in connection therewith. (b) The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.02 and with Sections 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 and 6.05 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer under Section 8.12 of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each such Subservicer and delivering to applicable Persons any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 3.22 and any assessment of compliance report and related accountant's attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 3.23, in each case as and when required to be delivered. (c) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.02(c), the Servicer and any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. The Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any such Subservicer, specifying, not later than the date specified for delivery of the annual report on assessment of compliance set forth in Section 3.23(b) (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, if any, that is "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph. As a condition to the utilization by the Servicer or any such Subservicer of any Subcontractor determined to be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any such Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor and the Securities Administrator to comply with the provisions of Section 3.23 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each such Subcontractor and delivering to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant's attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 3.23, in each case as and when required to be delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer engages a Subcontractor in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, the Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any such affiliate or third-party vendor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB. If the Servicer determines, pursuant to the preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a Subservicer for purposes of this Agreement, the engagement of such Subservicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given pursuant to Section 3.02(a). Section 3.03 Successor Subservicers. The Servicer, with the consent of the NIM Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement; provided, however, that the termination, resignation or removal of a Subservicer shall be not be effective until 30 days after written notice is received by both the Depositor and the Securities Administrator that contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act). In the event of termination of any Subservicer, all servicing obligations of such Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Subservicer or the Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Section 3.02. Any Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Depositor or the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to an Event of Default). Section 3.04 Liability of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship between Subservicers and the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the NIM Insurer. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee (or any successor Servicer), the Securities Administrator or the NIM Insurer shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees. Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee. In the event the Servicer at any time shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default), the Trustee, or its designee or the successor Servicer if the successor is not the Trustee, shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, with copies thereof provided to the Trustee or the successor Servicer if the successor is not the Trustee, prior to the Trustee or the successor Servicer if the successor is not the Trustee, assuming such rights and obligations, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Subservicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, their designees or any successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer. The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, its designee or the successor Servicer deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party. Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan and the Pool Policy, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable Insurance Policies, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the Due Dates for the Scheduled Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 360 days; provided, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.01 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.01(d) pursuant to which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) such Prepayment Charge is not permitted to be collected by applicable law. If a Prepayment Charge is waived other than as permitted by the prior sentence, then the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection Account from its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not have an obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in effect at such time. (b) (i) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Excess Reserve Fund Account, on behalf of the Class X Certificateholders, to receive any Basis Risk Payment and any Interest Rate Cap Payment and to secure their limited recourse obligation to pay to the LIBOR Certificateholders Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts (prior to using any Net Swap Receipts). For the avoidance of doubt, any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts shall be paid to the LIBOR Certificates first from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and then from the Swap Account. (ii) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit the amount of any Basis Risk Payment and any Interest Rate Cap Payment for such date into the Excess Reserve Fund Account. (c) (i) On each Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount on any Class of Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall (1) withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(M), the lesser of (x) the Class X Distributable Amount (without regard to the reduction in the definition thereof with respect to the Basis Risk Payment or Defaulted Swap Termination Payments (to the extent remaining after the distributions specified in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(A)-(P)) and (y) the aggregate Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts for such Distribution Date and (2) withdraw from the Excess Reserve Fund Account amounts necessary to pay to such Class or Classes of Certificates the Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount. Such payments shall be allocated to those Classes and paid in the priority set forth in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(P)-(O). (ii) The Securities Administrator shall account for the Excess Reserve Fund Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are the Class X Certificateholders. For all federal tax purposes, amounts transferred by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be treated as distributions by the Securities Administrator to the Class X Certificateholders. (iii) Any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts paid by the Securities Administrator to the LIBOR Certificateholders from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Swap Account shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates (in respect of the Class X Interest or the Class IO Interest, respectively) and then to the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for the LIBOR Certificateholders' rights to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account (along with payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Swap Account) as rights in a limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of the LIBOR Certificateholders. (iv) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall not be required to make any payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.07(c) and Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(N), (O) and (Q). (d) The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Depositor shall cause to be deposited into the Distribution Account on the Closing Date the Closing Date Deposit Amount. The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following: (i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.11; (ii) any amount deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and (iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Securities Administrator in writing to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering notice to the Securities Administrator which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02. In no event shall the Securities Administrator incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Servicer. (e) The Securities Administrator may invest the funds in the Distribution Account in one or more Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.12. The Securities Administrator may withdraw from the Distribution Account any income or gain earned from the investment of funds deposited therein for its own benefit. (f) The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator shall give notice to each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Collection Account not later than 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof. (g) In order to comply with its duties under the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the Securities Administrator shall comply with any Wells Fargo anti-money laundering policies, including, without limitation, any customer identification procedures. (h) To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Trustee may ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Trustee may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. Section 3.08 Subservicing Accounts. In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Subservicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (collectively, the "Subservicing Account"). The Subservicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be acceptable to the Servicer. The Subservicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Subservicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Subservicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Subservicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer receives such payments. Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. (a) The Servicer shall ensure that each of the Mortgage Loans shall be covered by a paid-in-full, life-of-the-loan tax service contract with a provider mutually acceptable to the Depositor and Servicer (each, a "Tax Service Contract"). Each Tax Service Contract shall be assigned to the Trustee, or its designee, at the Servicer's expense in the event that the Servicer is terminated as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loan. (b) To the extent that the services described in this paragraph (b) are not otherwise provided pursuant to the Tax Service Contracts described in paragraph (a) hereof, the Servicer undertakes to perform such functions. To the extent the related Mortgage provides for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated accounts (the "Escrow Accounts"), which shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, all (i) collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) all Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with applicable law and Accepted Servicing Practices, and the Servicer shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Subservicer to the extent provided in the related Subservicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.13 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay itself any interest earned on the Escrow Account or, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement; (vi) transfer such funds to a replacement Escrow Account that meets the requirements hereof; (vii) recover amounts deposited in error or (viii) to release Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable law and Accepted Servicing Practices. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Subservicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills within such time and shall effect 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 advances from its own funds to effect such payments, including any payment required to be made in connection with a Mortgage Loan that does provide for Escrow Payments and is insufficient to make such payments; provided, however, that such advances are deemed to be Servicing Advances. Section 3.10 Collection Account. (a) On behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated Eligible Accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trustee, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit into the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto: (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans; (ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan; (iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the extent such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the express requirements of law or in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries; (iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account; (v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any blanket policy deductibles; (vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with this Agreement; (vii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer or required to be paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07; and (viii) without duplication, all amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.27. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection 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, NSF fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer shall at its own expense be responsible for reviewing and reconciling the Collection Account in accordance with industry standards and shall act promptly to resolve any discrepancies related thereto. (b) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall give notice to the Trustee, the NIM Insurer and the Depositor, of the location of the Collection Account maintained by the Servicer when established and prior to any change thereof. Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account. (a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.01: (i) on or prior to each Remittance Date, to remit to the Securities Administrator (A) the Securities Administrator Fee with respect to such Distribution Date and (B) all Available Funds in respect of the related Distribution Date together with all amounts representing Prepayment Charges (payable to the Class P Certificateholders) from the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Scheduled Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01; (iii) to pay the Servicer or any Subservicer (A) any unpaid Servicing Fees or (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor, or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property); (iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on each Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account; (v) to pay to the applicable Person, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been repurchased or replaced by such Person pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be; (vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01; (vii) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.15; (viii) to reimburse the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03, Section 7.02 or Section 8.05; (ix) to reimburse the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the repurchase obligation under this Agreement that were included in the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the repurchase obligation, to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to the terms hereof; (x) to withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error; and (xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination of this Agreement. (b) The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer shall provide written notification (as set forth in Section 4.01(d)) to the Securities Administrator, on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (a)(vi) above. Section 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, Escrow Accounts and the Distribution Account. (a) The Servicer may invest the funds in the Collection Account and the Escrow Accounts (to the extent permitted by law and the related Mortgage Loan documents) and the Securities Administrator may invest funds in the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, each such Account is referred to as an "Investment Account"), 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; provided, however, that any such Permitted Investment managed by or advised by the Securities Administrator or any of its Affiliates may mature, unless payable on demand, no later than 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. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable. The Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to sole possession over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Servicer or the Securities Administrator or its agent, as applicable, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Servicer or the Securities Administrator or its agent, as applicable. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, may: (x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in an Investment Account. (b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account or Escrow Account, as applicable, held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or Escrow Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss. (c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account held by the Securities Administrator, shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator, and shall be subject to the Securities Administrator's withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 3.07(e). The Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss. (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment of funds held in the Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment of funds held in the Escrow Account or the Collection Account, the Servicer shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. Section 3.13 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property 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 related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Securities Administrator, 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 is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program). In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a general policy rating of A:X or better in Best's (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. (b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the NIM Insurer and the Securities Administrator with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee, the NIM Insurer and the Securities Administrator. The Servicer shall also cause each Subservicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements. Section 3.14 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (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 the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if, in its sole business judgment, the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into either (i) an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such 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 or (ii) a substitution agreement as provided in the succeeding sentence. The Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided, that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption, modification or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Scheduled Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Securities Administrator that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed and shall forward to the Custodian the executed original of such substitution 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer 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 by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, 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. Section 3.15 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an acquisition of REO Property) the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not released from this Agreement pursuant to any other provision hereof. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Trustee, 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 from an uninsured cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11. The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof as contemplated in Section 3.11. The proceeds of any liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries or any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to the date of the liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due Date prior to the Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a liquidation or REO Disposition; third, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, as interest at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate). The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17. The portions of the recovery so allocated to interest at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11 or 3.17, and second, to the Securities Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, subject to paragraph (g) of Section 3.17 with respect to certain excess recoveries from an REO Disposition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of the presence of, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes on the related Mortgaged Property, or if the Trustee otherwise requests, the Servicer shall cause an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee and the Depositor with a written report of the environmental inspection. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Servicer proceeds with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean-up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11. In the event the Servicer does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed from general collections for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental inspection report reveals, or if the Servicer has actual knowledge or notice, that such Mortgaged Property contains such toxic or hazardous waste or substances, the Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure without prior written consent of the NIM Insurer. Section 3.16 Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will, within five (5) Business Days of the payment in full, notify the Custodian by a certification (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 Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Custodial File by submitting a Request for Release, which Request for Release may be in an electronic format in a form acceptable to the Custodian, to the Custodian. Upon receipt of such certification and Request for Release, the Custodian shall promptly release the related Custodial File to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account. (b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Insurance Policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, which Request for Release may be in an electronic format in a form acceptable to the Custodian, release the related Custodial File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings and the Servicer shall retain the Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the Custodial File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection 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 Servicer has delivered to the Custodian 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 and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian to the Servicer or its designee. Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer copies of any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity, or shall exercise and deliver to the Servicer a power of attorney sufficient to authorize the Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale. Section 3.17 Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property. (a) In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken (pursuant to a limited power of attorney to be provided by the Trustee to the Servicer) in the name of the Trustee or a nominee thereof, on behalf of the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee or a nominee thereof 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 Servicer 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 Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee's capacity hereunder. (b) The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property 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. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same in accordance with clause (g) below) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and Securities Administrator from time to time as to the status of each REO Property. (c) [Reserved.] (d) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall deposit such funds in the Collection Account. (e) The Servicer shall deposit net of reimbursement to the Servicer for any related outstanding Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees provided in Section 3.11, or cause to be deposited, in no event more than one (1) Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, in the Collection 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. (f) The Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.11. (g) Any net proceeds from an REO Disposition which are in excess of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO Disposition shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. (h) The Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, or cause the Subservicer to sell, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, any REO Property as soon as possible, but in no event later than the conclusion of the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by Pooling Tier REMIC-1 unless (i) the Servicer applies for an extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be sold within the applicable extension period, or (ii) the Servicer obtains for the Trustee and Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the NIM Insurer to the effect that the holding by Pooling Tier REMIC-1 of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of relevant state laws at any time. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale 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) or result in the receipt by the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 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" which is subject to taxation under Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property; provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with respect to such REO Property qualifies as "rents from real property" as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code. Section 3.18 Notification of Adjustments. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Rate on the related Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Scheduled Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. In the event that an Index becomes unavailable or otherwise unpublished, the Servicer shall select a comparable alternative index over which it has no direct control and which is readily verifiable. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Rate and Scheduled Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Securities Administrator such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Rate or Scheduled Payment in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused as such interest loss occurs. Section 3.19 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans. In the event the Servicer reasonably believes that compliance with this Section will make the Mortgage Loans legal for investment by federally insured savings and loan associations, the Servicer shall provide, or cause the Subservicer to provide, to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the OTS or the FDIC and the examiners and supervisory agents thereof, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in its possession required by applicable regulations of the OTS. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer or, if applicable, any Subservicer. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations will be provided to such Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer and to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of any such party to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of any such party to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Section 3.20 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the Servicer to Be Held for the Securities Administrator. Not later than thirty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward to the Securities Administrator and the NIM Insurer a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month relating to such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of the then current Fannie Mae Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Securities Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator. Section 3.21 Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, be entitled to retain from deposits to the Collection Account and from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and REO Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any Subservicer). In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of related Late Collections and as otherwise permitted under Section 3.11. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02. (b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification fees, late payment charges, net Prepayment Interest Excesses (to the extent not required to offset Prepayment Interest Shortfalls), NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein. The Servicer shall also be entitled as additional servicing compensation, to interest or other income earned on deposits in the Escrow Account (to the extent permitted by law and the related Mortgage Loan documents) in accordance with Section 3.12. (c) The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of premiums for any blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13, servicing compensation of the Subservicer to the extent not retained by it and the fees and expenses of independent accountants and any agents appointed by the Servicer), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the Trust Fund except as specifically provided in Section 3.11. Section 3.22 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Servicer shall deliver, and shall cause each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered, an Officer's Certificate (as described below) to the Securities Administrator on or before March 1st of each calendar year, commencing in 2007 (the Securities Administrator shall deliver such Officer's Certificate to the Depositor and otherwise make available to the NIM Insurer), and the Securities Administrator shall deliver, to the Depositor and the NIM Insurer on or before March 1st of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Securities Administrator, Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement or the applicable Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be, has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Securities Administrator, Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be, in all material respects, throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officers and the nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such Officer's Certificate, the Depositor shall review such Officer's Certificate and, if applicable, consult with the Securities Administrator, Servicer or Subservicer as to the nature of any failure by the Securities Administrator, Servicer or Subservicer to fulfill any of the Securities Administrator's, Servicer's or Subservicer's obligations. The obligations of the Securities Administrator, Servicer and Subservicer under this Section apply to each Securities Administrator, Servicer and Subservicer that acted as Securities Administrator or serviced a Mortgage Loan, as applicable, during the applicable period, whether or not the Securities Administrator, the Servicer or such Subservicer is acting as the Securities Administrator, Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, at the time such Officer's Certificate is required to be delivered. None of the Securities Administrator, Servicer or Subservicer shall be required to cause the delivery of any Officer's Certificate required by this Section until March 15th in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year. In the event the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable agreement in the case of a Subservicer, as the case may be, such party shall provide an Officer's Certificate pursuant to this Section 3.22 or to such applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation. Section 3.23 Annual Reports on Assessment of Compliance with Servicing Criteria; Annual Independent Public Accountants' Attestation Report. (a) Not later than March 1st of each calendar year commencing in 2007, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian shall deliver, and the Servicer shall cause each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian shall cause each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer (or by any such Subservicer), the Securities Administrator or the Custodian, as applicable, and determined by the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Custodian, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.02(e) to be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (in each case, a "Servicing Function Participant"), to deliver, each at its own expense, to the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor and otherwise make available to the NIM Insurer, a report on an assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Each such assessment of compliance report shall be addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the applicable company, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria set forth on Exhibit O hereto, or as set forth in the notification furnished to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.23(c). The Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian hereby acknowledge and agree that their respective assessments of compliance will cover the items identified on Exhibit O hereto as being covered by such party. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that where a particular Servicing Criterion has multiple components, each party's assessment of compliance and related attestation of compliance) will relate only to those components that are applicable to such party. Promptly after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance, the Depositor shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Custodian as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it (and each Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized by the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Custodian, as applicable), as the case may be. None of the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant shall be required to cause the delivery of any such assessments until March 15th in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year. In the event the Servicer, the Custodian, the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant or Subservicer engaged by any such party is terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a report on assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 3.23, or to such other applicable agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation.

None of the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or any Servicer or Servicing Function Participant shall be required to cause the delivery of any such attestation required by this paragraph until March 15th in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year.

In the event the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, or any Servicing Function Participant or Subservicer engaged by any such party, is terminated, assigns its rights and duties under, or resigns pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement, or any applicable agreement, as the case may be, such party shall cause a registered public accounting firm to provide, at the cost and expense of such party, an attestation report pursuant to this Section 3.23, or such other applicable agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation. Section 3.24 Trustee to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer shall not agree to any modification of a Mortgage Loan without the Pool Insurer's prior written consent. The Servicer covenants and agrees to exercise its best reasonable efforts to maintain and keep the Pool Policy in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement.

(b) On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Remittance Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that Amounts Held for Future Distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.01, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Securities Administrator (and the Securities Administrator shall deliver such Officer's Certificate to the Trustee and the NIM Insurer within one Business Day of receipt).

If on any Distribution Date, as a result of the foregoing allocation rules, any Class of Class A Certificates does not receive in full the related Accrued Certificate Interest Distribution Amount or the related Unpaid Interest Amount, if any, then such shortfall will be allocated to the Holders of such Class, with interest thereon, on future Distribution Dates, as any Unpaid Interest Amount, subject to the priorities described above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on and after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class Certificate Balances of the Subordinated Certificates and the principal balance of the Class X Certificates have been reduced to zero, any principal distributions allocated to the Class A Certificates shall be allocated, pro rata among the Class A Certificates, based on their respective Class Certificate Balances, until their respective Class Certificate Balances have been reduced to zero.

The Default Report shall, at a minimum, document, on such Determination Date, Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis, as follows: (i) the aggregate expenses reimbursed to the Servicer during the prior distribution period pursuant to Section 3.11; and (ii) the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent 31 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days, 91 days or more, and in such other periods and for such times as required by Regulation AB; (b) as to which foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings of the related mortgagor have commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been acquired. (e) For all purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies shall be determined and reported by the Securities Administrator, from information provided by the Servicer, based on the "OTS" methodology for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with respect to a Scheduled Payment due on a Due Date if such Scheduled Payment is not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to such Scheduled Payment if such Scheduled Payment were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's second succeeding Due Date. The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that the Servicer is not subject to any delinquency recognition policy established by the primary safety and soundness regulator, if any, of the Servicer, that is more restrictive than the foregoing delinquency recognition policy. Section 4.04 Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR. LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the definition of LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). Each "Reference Bank" shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have an established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. (i) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are Outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee. Section 4.05 Allocation of Applied Realized Loss Amounts. Any Applied Realized Loss Amounts shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator to the most junior Class of Subordinated Certificates then Outstanding in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof. Section 4.06 Swap Account. On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate non-interest bearing trust account for the benefit of the holders of the LIBOR Certificates (the "Swap Account") as a part of the Trust Fund. The Swap Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement. On any Distribution Date, Swap Termination Payments, Net Swap Payments owed to the Swap Provider and Net Swap Receipts for that Distribution Date will be deposited into the Swap Account. Funds in the Swap Account will be distributed in the following order of priority: (i) to the Swap Provider, the sum of (x) all Net Swap Payments and (y) any Swap Termination Payment, other than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, to the Swap Provider, if any, owed for that Distribution Date; (ii) to the Class A Certificates, to pay Accrued Certificate Interest Distribution Amounts and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(i), to the extent unpaid from Available Funds; (iii) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, to pay Accrued Certificate Interest Distribution Amounts and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(i) and (iii), to the extent unpaid from Available Funds; (iv) to the LIBOR Certificates, to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(N)-(O), to the extent unpaid from Available Funds (including Basis Risk Payments on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account); (v) sequentially, to the Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, to pay principal as described in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A) or Section 4.02(a)(ii)(B), as applicable, but only to the extent necessary to restore the Subordinated Amount at the Specified Subordinated Amount as a result of current or prior Realized Losses not previously reimbursed, after giving effect to payments and distributions from Available Funds; (vi) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, in that order, to pay any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(iii), to the extent unpaid from Available Funds; (vii) to the Swap Provider, any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider for that Distribution Date; and (viii) to the holders of the Class X Certificates, any remaining amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Trust receives a Swap Termination Payment and a successor Swap Provider cannot be obtained, then the Securities Administrator shall deposit the Swap Termination Payment into the reserve account that is a sub-account of the Swap Account. On each subsequent Distribution Date (so long as funds are available in the reserve account), the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the reserve account and deposit into the Swap Account an amount equal to the amount of any Net Swap Receipt due the Trust (calculated in accordance with the terms of the original Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and treat such amount as a Net Swap Receipt for purposes of determining the distributions from the Swap Account. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Swap Account shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this Section 4.06. The Securities Administrator shall account for the Swap Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Swap Account are the Class X Certificateholders. For federal income tax purposes, Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments payable to the Swap Provider shall be deemed to be paid to the Swap Account from the Upper Tier REMIC, first, by the Holder of the Class X Certificates (in respect of the Class IO Interest and, if applicable, Class X Interest) and second, other than any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, by the Holders of the applicable Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates (in respect of Class IO Shortfalls) as and to the extent provided in Section 8.13. Any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts distributed by the Securities Administrator to the LIBOR Certificateholders from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Swap Account shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator, for federal income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates (in respect of the Class X Interest or the Class IO Interest, respectively) and then to the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for the rights of Holders of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Swap Account (along with Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts payable from the Excess Reserve Fund Account) as rights in a separate limited recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of Holders of each such Class. The Swap Account shall be an "outside reserve fund" for federal income tax purposes and not an asset of any Trust REMIC. Furthermore, the Holders of the Class X Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the Swap Account for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon, and any amounts reimbursed from the Upper Tier REMIC to the Swap Account shall be treated as having been distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates. In the event the Swap Provider does not deliver the Delivery Amount (as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) to the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall provide notice of such failure to the Swap Provider within one Business Day of such failure. ARTICLE V THE CERTIFICATES Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement. The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to register the Class X and Class P Certificates in the name of the Depositor or its designee. On a date as to which the Depositor notifies the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall transfer the Class X and Class P Certificates in the name of the NIM Trustee, or such other name or names as the Depositor shall request, and to deliver the Class X and Class P Certificates to the NIM Trustee or to such other Person or Persons as the Depositor shall request. Subject to Section 10.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Securities Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless authenticated by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof. Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest. At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required. All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator's customary procedures. (b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In determining whether a transfer is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely solely upon a written notice to such effect from the Depositor. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be under any obligation to register or cause the registration of any Certificates under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or to take any other action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate without registration. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class P or Class R Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, in the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit H (the "Transferor Certificate") and either (i) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit I (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. In the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Transferor Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Letter in respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such Certificate were evidenced by a Physical Certificate. As directed by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Depositor and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Securities Administrator in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Securities Administrator such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably determine to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class P or Class R Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Securities Administrator's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, or (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate or a Class P Certificate that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, and the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate or Class P Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a plan subject to Similar Law, or a trustee of any such plan or any other Person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and will not subject the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Securities Administrator by the transferee's (including an initial acquirer's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, other than a Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator as described above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any purported transfer of a Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i) above shall be void and of no effect. None of the Class R or Class P Certificates may be sold to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, any plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or any plan subject to any Similar Law or any Person investing on behalf or with plan assets of such plan. To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements. As long as the Interest Rate Swap Agreement is in effect, each beneficial owner of a Certificate other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate, or any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented that either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are eligible for the exemptive relief available under at least one of (i) Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 84-14 (for transactions by independent "qualified professional asset managers"), (ii) PTCE 91-38 (for transactions by bank collective investment funds), (iii) PTCE 90-1 (for transactions by insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 95-60 (for transactions by insurance company general accounts) or (iv) PTCE 96-23 (for transactions effected by "in-house asset managers") or similar exemption under similar law. (c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee; (ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Securities Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G; (iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is a Non-Permitted Transferee; (iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and the Rule 144A Letter. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact a Non-Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Non-Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate; and (v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Securities Administrator, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is a Non-Permitted Transferee. The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are Outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee. (d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers. (e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Securities Administrator shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) the Depositor notifies the Depository of its intent to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided, that the Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository. (f) Each Private Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments) or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Private Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Private Certificates. Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIM Insurer, and the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer, the Depositor and any agent of the Servicer, the NIM Insurer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer, the Depositor, nor any agent of the Servicer, the NIM Insurer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor, Servicer or the NIM Insurer shall request such information in writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIM Insurer or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Securities Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities Administrator initially designates its offices located at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479. The Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders and the NIM Insurer of any change in such location of any such office or agency. ARTICLE VI THE DEPOSITOR, THE SERVICER AND THE LOAN PERFORMANCE ADVISOR Section 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Servicer. The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein. Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer. (a) The Depositor and the Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation or federally chartered savings bank, as the case may be, under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement. (b) The Servicer is and shall continue to be an institution which is a Fannie Mae-approved and Freddie Mac-approved seller/servicer in good standing, shall maintain a net worth of at least $30,000,000 (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) and shall maintain its license to do business or service residential mortgage loans in any jurisdictions in which the Mortgaged Properties are located.

As a condition to the succession to the Servicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to a Servicer, the Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIM Insurer or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, its Affiliates, the Servicer, the NIM Insurer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, its Affiliates, the Servicer, the NIM Insurer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Loan Performance Advisor Agreement other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the NIM Insurer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor may in its discretion undertake any such action (or direct the Trustee to undertake such actions pursuant to Section 2.03 for the benefit of the Certificateholders) that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account. Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Trust Fund will be liable, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.

Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Depositor, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Depositor, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed in writing the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder. Section 6.05 Additional Indemnification by the Servicer; Third Party Claims. (a) The Servicer shall indemnify the Responsible Party, the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator (unless the Servicer and Securities Administrator are Affiliates), the NIM Insurer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of each and hold them harmless against any and all third party claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to (i) any breach by the Servicer, of any of its representations and warranties referred to in Section 2.03(a), (ii) any error in any tax or information return prepared by the Servicer, or (iii) the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to deliver accurate and complete information on a timely basis pursuant to Section 4.03(d)). The Servicer immediately shall notify the Depositor, the NIM Insurer, the Responsible Party and the Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Depositor, the Responsible Party and the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Responsible Party, the Depositor, the NIM Insurer or the Trustee in respect of such claim. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator (unless the Servicer and Securities Administrator are Affiliates), the NIM Insurer, the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the NIM Insurer, the Securities Administrator (unless the Servicer and Securities Administrator are Affiliates) or the Trustee and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to any failure by the Servicer or any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer or any Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants' letter when and as required under Sections 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 or 8.12, including without limitation any failure by the Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 3.02(e) any Subcontractor "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB. (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.05 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Person entitled to indemnification thereunder, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Person entitled to indemnification as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Person on the one hand and the Servicer, on the other, in connection with the Servicer's obligations pursuant to this Section 6.05. This Section 6.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Servicer. Section 6.06 Duties of the Loan Performance Advisor. The Loan Performance Advisor shall perform its obligations under the Loan Performance Advisor Agreement. Section 6.07 Loan Performance Advisor's Fees. On each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account the Loan Performance Advisor Fee and pay such fee to the Loan Performance Advisor as compensation for its activities under this Agreement. ARTICLE VII DEFAULT Section 7.01 Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the following events: (a) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Securities Administrator any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure is received by facsimile and confirmed by telephone pursuant to 11.05(c), requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor, by the Trustee or by the Securities Administrator, or to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator by the NIM Insurer or by Certificateholders entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights in the Certificates; or (b) the failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of forty-five days (except that (x) such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and (y) such number of days shall be ten in the case of a failure to observe or perform any of the obligations set forth in Sections 3.02, 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 or 8.12) after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or by the Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the NIM Insurer by Certificateholders entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights in the Certificates and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer; or (c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty consecutive days; or (d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or (e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or (f) any failure of the Servicer to make any P&I Advance on any Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.01 which continues unremedied for one Business Day immediately following the Remittance Date; or (g) a breach of any representation and warranty of the Servicer referred to in Section 2.03(a), which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for a period of thirty days after the date upon which written notice of such breach is given to the Servicer by the Trustee, by the Securities Administrator or by the Depositor, or to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor by the NIM Insurer or the Certificateholders entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights in the Certificates; or (h) any withdrawal or downgrade of two or more levels of Wells Fargo's servicer rating by any rating agency that results in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any class of the certificates by any rating agency. If an Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (h) of this Section 7.01 shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of a majority of the Voting Rights, or at the direction of the NIM Insurer, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to give written notice to the Servicer of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such an event. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an event of default described in clause (f) of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall give written notice by facsimile with confirmation by telephone to the Servicer of the occurrence of such an event within one Business Day of the first day on which such Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence. On and after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice by facsimile and confirmation by telephone, all authority and power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall, subject to Section 7.02, pass to and be vested in the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.02, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Collection Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the terminated Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the successor Servicer, at the time of transfer of its servicing obligations hereunder, payment of all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for all outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances. Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.24, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. It is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition before the transfer of servicing obligations is fully effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee will have a period (not to exceed 90 days) to complete the transfer of all servicing data and correct or manipulate such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder including, if the Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee and the income on investments or gain related to the Collection Account which the Servicer would be entitled to receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01, if it is otherwise unable to so act or at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to at least a majority of the Voting Rights or of the NIM Insurer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which (i) does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency and (ii) is acceptable to the NIM Insurer, as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Servicer shall make the covenant set forth in Section 6.02(b). Any successor to the Servicer shall be an institution which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided, that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.24, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee Rate and amounts paid to the Servicer from investments. The Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor to the Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it. In the event that the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, the terminated Servicer shall provide notices to the Mortgagors, transfer the Servicing Files to a successor Servicer and pay all of its own out-of-pocket costs and expenses at its own expense. In addition, in the event that the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, the terminated Servicer shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of a servicing transfer incurred by parties other than the terminated Servicer (including, without limitation, any costs or expenses (including but not limited to personnel time) associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee or successor servicer to correct ay errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, but excluding set-up costs and other administrative expenses of the successor Servicer, in which case the successor Servicer shall pay for such costs and expenses but shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the Trust Fund), such an amount shall be paid by the terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs. If the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer (except in the case where the Trustee in its role as successor Servicer is being terminated pursuant to Section 7.01 by reason of an Event of Default caused solely by the Trustee as the successor Servicer and not by the predecessor Servicer's actions or omissions), such costs shall be paid by the prior terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs. If the terminated Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs and expenses, the same shall be paid by the successor Servicer, in which case the successor Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the Trust Fund. Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.13. Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders, the NIM Insurer and each Rating Agency. (b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, the NIM Insurer and each Rating Agency notice of each such Event of Default, unless such event shall have been cured or waived. ARTICLE VIII CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE Section 8.01 Duties of the Trustee. The Trustee, before the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01: (a) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties; (b) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or accountants and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (c) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; (d) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the NIM Insurer or by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates; (e) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, accountants or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agents, accountants or attorneys appointed with due care by it hereunder; (f) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it; (g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than in its corporate capacity as obligor of the investment security and with respect to the investment of funds in the Distribution Account); (h) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default, until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof; and (i) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders or the NIM Insurer, pursuant to this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIM Insurer, as applicable, shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or the Servicer. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor Servicer). Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee. Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. As compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be paid a fee by the Securities Administrator. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by the Servicer or incurred in connection with: (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates, or (c) the performance of any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability, or expense (i) resulting from any breach of the Servicer's obligations in connection with this Agreement for which the Servicer has performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.05, (ii) resulting from any breach of the Responsible Party's obligations in connection with this Agreement for which the Responsible Party has performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.03(h) or (iii) incurred because of willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any expense, disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, and (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of any accountant, engineer, or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage them to perform services under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or a separate letter agreement between the Trustee and the Depositor, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar, or paying agent under this Agreement or for any other routine expenses incurred by the Trustee; provided, however, no expense shall be reimbursed hereunder if it would not constitute an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions. Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its Affiliates or the Servicer and its Affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an Affiliate of the Depositor or the Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer. Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the NIM Insurer, the Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee acceptable by the NIM Insurer in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor or the NIM Insurer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee acceptable to the NIM Insurer, then the Depositor or the NIM Insurer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee. The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least a majority of the Voting Rights (or the NIM Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee (acceptable to the NIM Insurer) by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the Trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08. Section 8.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and the NIM Insurer and to its predecessor trustee and the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is eligible under Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates and the NIM Insurer. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor. Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the NIM Insurer of such succession or appointment and shall furnish to the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably necessary for the Securities Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act). Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the NIM Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. If the Servicer and the NIM Insurer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: (a) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; (b) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; (c) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and (d) The Trust Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee. Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection and indemnity to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer, the NIM Insurer and the Depositor. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. Section 8.11 Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election pertaining to the Trust Fund is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each Trust REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each Trust REMIC containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator will apply for an employer identification number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall also furnish to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make an election that each of Pooling Tier REMIC-1, Pooling Tier REMIC-2, the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including the calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment assumption (as described in the Prospectus Supplement); (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are Outstanding so as to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC created hereunder; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each Trust REMIC before its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) cause federal, state or local income tax or information returns to be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and (j) maintain records relating to each of the Trust REMICs, including the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis and on the accrual method of accounting and the adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for each Trust REMIC, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Securities Administrator is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Securities Administrator is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Securities Administrator shall, as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any Trust REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any Trust REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any Trust REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it. The Securities Administrator shall treat the rights of the Class P Certificateholders to receive Prepayment Charges (including amounts payable by Servicer with respect thereto), the rights of the Class X Certificateholders to receive Interest Rate Cap Payments and amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Swap Account (subject, other than in the case of the Class X Certificates, to the obligation to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts) and the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts as the beneficial ownership of interests in a grantor trust, and not as an obligation of any Trust REMIC created hereunder, for federal income tax purposes. The Securities Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS together with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished, to the Class P Certificateholders, the Class X Certificateholders and the LIBOR Certificateholders, the respective amounts described above that are received, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code. To enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator within ten days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Securities Administrator requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide information to the Securities Administrator concerning the value to each Class of Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts or, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Swap Account. Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor, for federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator is hereby directed to assign a value of zero to the right of each Holder allocating the purchase price of an initial Offered Certificateholder between such right and the related Upper Tier Regular Interest. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator promptly upon written request therefor any additional information or data that the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to provide any information regarding the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer is required to provide to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Securities Administrator and the NIM Insurer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Securities Administrator or the NIM Insurer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, pursuant to this paragraph, accurate information or data to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis. Neither the Servicer nor Securities Administrator shall (i) permit the creation of any interests in any Trust REMIC other than the regular and residual interests set forth in the Preliminary Statement, (ii) receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement) or (iii) otherwise knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (A) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (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 Trust REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, or the tax on "net income from foreclosure property") unless the Securities Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Securities Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Securities Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund and the NIM Insurer against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax). If any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of the Pooling Tier REMIC-1 as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including any minimum tax imposed on any Trust REMIC pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Securities Administrator if such tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Securities Administrator in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, and otherwise if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) in all other cases, or if the Securities Administrator or the Servicer fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.02(a). Section 8.12 Periodic Filings. (a) The Securities Administrator and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the reporting requirements of the Trust under the Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 10-D and 10-K and certain Form 8-K's (not to include any 8-K related to the filing of this Agreement and any amendments thereto), required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the Securities Administrator shall file (via the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System, or EDGAR) such Forms executed by the Depositor. (b) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D ("Additional Form 10-D Disclosure") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator by the parties set forth on Exhibit P and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph. The Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit P hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution Date, the parties, to the extent described on Exhibit P, shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure described on Exhibit P applicable to such party (and shall include with such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit W), and the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit P (other than with respect to the Securities Administrator) of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information; provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in a reasonable manner in order for the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as set forth in Section 8.12(a). The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph. The Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a Form 10-D prepared by it. After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for approval and execution. No later than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.12(f)(ii). Promptly (but not later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator. Form 10-D requires the Depositor to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the Depositor was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator, with respect to each Form 10-D, to check "yes" for each item unless the Securities Administrator has received timely prior written notice from the Depositor that the answer should be "no" for an item. The Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D, if the answer to the questions should be "no." The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such instructions in preparing and/or filing any such Form 10-D. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(b) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon the Servicer and the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(b). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (c) On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the "10-K Filing Deadline"), commencing in March 2007, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Securities Administrator within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and the Securities Administrator, as described under Section 3.22, (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Custodian, each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Servicer, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator, as described under Section 3.23, and (B) if any such report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.23 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or such report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.23 is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report for the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Custodian, each Subservicer engaged by the Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Servicer, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator, as described under Section 3.23, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report described under Section 3.23 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included, and (iv) a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission (the "Sarbanes Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization. Any disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K ("Additional Form 10-K Disclosure") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator by the parties set forth on Exhibit Q and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph. The Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit Q hereto, no later than March 1 of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, the parties, to the extent described on Exhibit Q, shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure described on Exhibit Q applicable to such party (and shall include with such Additional Form 10-K Disclosure an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit W), and the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit Q (other than with respect to the Securities Administrator) of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure information; provided however, the Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in a reasonable manner in order for the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as set forth in Section 8.12(a). The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph. The Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a Form 10-K prepared by it. After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for approval and execution. Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator, with respect to each Form 10-K, to check "yes" for each item unless the Securities Administrator has received timely prior written notice from the Depositor that the answer should be "no" for an item. The Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the 4th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline if the answer to the questions should be "no." The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such instructions in preparing and/or filing any such Form 10-K. No later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the 4th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.12(f)(ii). Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(c) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon the Servicer (and any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Servicer) and the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(c), Section 8.12(d), Section 3.22 and Section 3.23. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto or any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (d) In connection with the execution of a Sarbanes Certification, the Securities Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates, and the Servicer shall sign a certification solely with respect to the Servicer (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates. Each such certification shall be delivered to the Depositor no later than March 10th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the Sarbanes Certification no later than the time set forth for the delivery to the Securities Administrator of the signed Form 10-K pursuant to Section 8.12(c) for such year.

In addition, (i) the Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Sponsor and their officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon any breach of the Securities Administrator's obligations under this Section 8.12(d) or the Securities Administrator's material misstatement, omission, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, and (ii) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon any breach of the Servicer's obligations under this Section 8.12(d) or any material misstatement, omission, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith.

(e) [Reserved.] (f) (i) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which reports are required to be filed with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. On or prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, with a copy to the Depositor. At any time after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of Holders of the Offered Certificates of record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Administrator shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-K, 10-D and 8-K as required pursuant to this Section 8.12 and the parties hereto shall again have the obligations set forth in this Section 8.12. (ii) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Securities Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor and Securities Administrator will thereupon prepare and file, and the other parties shall cooperate in connection with such preparation and filing, a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A and 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and, upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, in connection with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than, in the case of Form 10-D, for the purpose of restating any Monthly Statement), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information, the Securities Administrator will notify the Depositor and such other parties to the transaction as are affected by such amendment, and the Depositor and the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and such other parties will cooperate in connection with such preparation and filing, any necessary Form 8-K/A, 10-D/A or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(f) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the Servicer and the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12 and Sections 3.22 and 3.23. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto or any Subservicer or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (g) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and also if requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (other than the initial Form 8-K) ("Form 8-K Disclosure Information") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator by the parties set forth on Exhibit R and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph. The Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph. As set forth on Exhibit R hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the end of business (New York City time) on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event the parties, to the extent described on Exhibit R, shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable parties, any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, the form and substance of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information described on Exhibit R applicable to such party (and shall include with such Form 8-K Disclosure Information, an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit W), and the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit R (other than with respect to the Securities Administrator) of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Form 8-K Disclosure Information; provided however, the Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in a reasonable manner in order for the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as set forth in Section 8.12(a). The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph. The Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a Form 8-K prepared by it. After preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event but in no case without having had notice for 24 hours forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review. No later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the 4th Business Day after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 8-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.12(f)(ii). Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will, make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator. The Depositor and Servicer acknowledge that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(g) related to the timely preparation, arrangement for execution and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon the Servicer and the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(g). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. (h) The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or resulting from (i) the accuracy or inaccuracy of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information (excluding any information therein provided by the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator) provided to the Securities Administrator in connection with the preparation of Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K pursuant to this Section 8.12, or (ii) the failure of the Depositor to approve for filing any Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K required to be prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.12, in either case, not resulting from the Securities Administrator's own negligence, bad faith or misconduct. (i) Any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information required to be provided to the Securities Administrator shall be sent (by email at cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com and facsimile at 410-715-2380) in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the party providing such information. With respect to any notice required to be delivered by the Securities Administrator to the Depositor pursuant to Section 8.12 of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may deliver such notice, notwithstanding any contrary provision in Section 11.05, via facsimile to 212-412-7519 or telephonically by calling the General Counsel at 212-412-4000. The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, Attention: General Counsel, Facsimile: (212) 412-7519, or such other address as to which the Depositor has provided prior written notice to the Securities Administrator. (j) For so long as reports are required to be filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Custodian shall not utilize any Subcontractor for the performance of its duties hereunder if such Subcontractor would be "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB without the prior written consent of the Depositor, in its sole discretion. (k) The Custodian shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor and any director, officer, employee, agent and affiliate of the Depositor or the Sponsor and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonably and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to (i) the failure of the Custodian to deliver when required any assessment of compliance required to be delivered by the Custodian or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in any assessment of compliance provided to be delivered by the Custodian. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Custodian. Section 8.13 Tax Classification of the Excess Reserve Fund Account, the Swap Account, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Cap Agreements. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator shall treat the Excess Reserve Fund Account, the Swap Account, the Cap Agreements and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement as beneficially owned by the holders of the Class X Certificates and shall treat such portion of the Trust Fund as a grantor trust, within the meaning of subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code. The Securities Administrator shall treat the rights that each Class of LIBOR Certificates has to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and, to the extent not paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account from the Swap Account (including, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts), as rights to receive payments under an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of each such Class and beneficially owned by each such Class through the grantor trust. Accordingly, each Class of Certificates (excluding the Class X, Class P and Class R Certificates) will be comprised of two components - an Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest and an interest in an interest rate cap contract, and the Class X Certificates will be comprised of five components - two Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interests (the Class X Interest and the Class IO Interest), the Cap Agreements, an interest in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to obligation to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts, and ownership of the Swap Account and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, subject to the obligation to pay Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts (including, without duplication, Upper Tier Carry Forward Amounts). The Securities Administrator shall allocate the issue price for a Class of Certificates among the respective components for purposes of determining the issue price of each Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest component based on information received from the Depositor. Holders of LIBOR Certificates shall also be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holders of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments (other than Defaulted Swap Termination Payments) over (ii) the sum of amounts payable on the Class X Interest available for such payments and amounts payable on the Class IO Interest (such excess, a "Class IO Shortfall"), first from interest and then from principal distributable on the LIBOR Certificates. A Class IO Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such LIBOR Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Class of LIBOR Certificates, and a Class IO Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated in reverse sequential order beginning with the most subordinate Class of LIBOR Certificates then Outstanding. Any payments of Class IO Shortfalls shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Class of LIBOR Certificates in respect of the corresponding Upper Tier Regular Interest and as having been paid by such Holders to the Holders of the Class X Certificates through the Swap Account.

Section 9.10 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Securities Administrator. Except as expressly provided herein, the Securities Administrator shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Depositor and the NIM Insurer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrade of the ratings assigned to any of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Securities Administrator hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator to the Depositor, the Trustee and the NIM Insurer. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Securities Administrator are transferred to a successor securities administrator, the entire compensation payable to the Securities Administrator pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor securities administrator but in no event shall the fee payable to the successor Securities Administrator exceed that payable to the predecessor Securities Administrator. ARTICLE X TERMINATION Section 10.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 10.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase, on the Optional Termination Date, of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) at the price (the "Termination Price") equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate, (ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Majority Class X Certificateholder at its expense and (y) the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate, (iii) all unreimbursed P&I Advances, Servicing Advances and indemnification payments payable to the Servicer, (iv) any Swap Termination Payment, other than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, owed to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, and (v) any unreimbursed indemnification payments payable to the Securities Administrator or the Trustee under this Agreement and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement; provided that in the case of clause (a) above, if the Depositor or any of its Affiliates is a Class X Certificateholder exercising this option, it may only do so with at least one other unaffiliated person that holds at least a 10% Percentage Interest in the Class X Certificates. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such purchase by the Majority Class X Certificateholder shall be permitted unless (i) after distribution of the proceeds thereof to the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Class X, Class P and Residual Certificates) pursuant to Section 10.02, the distribution of the remaining proceeds to the Class X and Class P Certificates is sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on the NIM Securities, to the extent the NIM Securities are then outstanding, plus any remaining amounts owed to the NIM Insurer or (ii) prior to such purchase, the Majority Class X Certificateholder remits to the Securities Administrator an amount that, together with such remaining proceeds, will be sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the NIM Securities, to the extent the NIM Securities are then outstanding, plus any remaining amounts owed to the NIM Insurer. Section 10.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any Remittance Date, the Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Servicer shall direct the Securities Administrator promptly to send a Notice of Final Distribution to each Certificateholder, the NIM Insurer and the Swap Provider. If the Majority Class X Certificateholder elects to exercise its option to purchase the Mortgage Loans pursuant to clause (a) of Section 10.01, at least 20 days prior to the date the Notice of Final Distribution is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of notice from the Majority Class X Certificateholder indicating its intent to exercise such purchase option, shall notify the Depositor, the NIM Insurer and the Securities Administrator of (a) the date on which the Majority Class X Certificateholder intends to exercise such purchase option and (b) the Termination Price. A Notice of Final Distribution, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 15th day of the month of such final distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Securities Administrator will give such Notice of Final Distribution to each Rating Agency at the time such Notice of Final Distribution is given to Certificateholders. In the event such Notice of Final Distribution is given, the Servicer shall cause all funds in the Collection Account to be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Custodian of a Request for Release therefor, the Custodian shall promptly release to the Majority Class X Certificateholder or its designee the Custodial Files for the Mortgage Loans. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class (after reimbursement of all amounts due to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the NIM Insurer hereunder), in each case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, up to an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates (except the Class X Certificates), the Certificate Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class X Certificates accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing Certificate and all other amounts to which such Classes are entitled pursuant to Section 4.02 and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above. In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the Notice of Final Distribution, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after such second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto. Section 10.03 Additional Termination Requirements. In the event the Majority Class X Certificateholder exercises its purchase option with respect to the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator and the Trustee have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Majority Class X Certificateholder, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding: (a) The Securities Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Majority Class X Certificateholder, and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of each of the Trust REMICs; and (b) The Securities Administrator shall attach a statement to the final federal income tax return for each of the Trust REMICs stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund to the Majority Class X Certificateholder. ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS Section 11.01 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Responsible Party, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor or the Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided, that any action pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) provided to Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the NIM Insurer, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, further, that any such action pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Responsible Party, the NIM Insurer and the Securities Administrator also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement, but without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of each Trust REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code; provided, that the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the NIM Insurer have been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code. This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Responsible Party, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Pool Insurer to the extent the amendment would materially and adversely affect the Pool Insurer, but with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66(2)/3% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66(2)/3% or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then Outstanding. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or the Securities Administrator shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless (i) it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the grantor trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding and (ii) the party seeking such amendment shall have provided written notice to the Rating Agencies (with a copy of such notice to the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee) of such amendment, stating the provisions of the Agreement to be amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.01, with respect to any amendment that significantly modifies the permitted activities of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Servicer, any Certificate beneficially owned by the Depositor shall be deemed not to be Outstanding (and shall not be considered when determining the percentage of Certificateholders consenting or when calculating the total number of Certificates entitled to consent) for purposes of determining if the requisite consents of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 have been obtained. Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the NIM Insurer and each Rating Agency. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Securities Administrator may prescribe. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Securities Administrator or the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the NIM Insurer that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 11.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement shall require the prior written consent of the Swap Provider if such amendment materially and adversely affects the rights or interests of the Swap Provider. Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the direction and expense of the Depositor, but only upon receipt of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders. For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Section 11.03 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. Section 11.04 Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets transferred, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, Depositor and the NIM Insurer; provided, however, that the Servicer may pledge its interest in any reimbursements for P&I Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder. Section 11.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust created hereby, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof. No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.08, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Section 11.09 Inspection and Audit Rights. The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the NIM Insurer during the Servicer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the NIM Insurer and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense of the Servicer incident to the exercise by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the NIM Insurer of any right under this Section 11.09 shall be borne by the Servicer. Section 11.10 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid. Section 11.11 Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee, the NIM Insurer and the Depositor; provided, however, the Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into an Advance Facility under which (1) the Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to an Advancing Person the Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts") and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all P&I Advances or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party (other than the NIM Insurer) is required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer's behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility. Advance Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the Servicer had made the related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). The Trustee shall not have any duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Advance Reimbursement Amount. The Trustee shall also not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and (upon request) the Securities Administrator a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information. An Advancing Person who purchases or receives an assignment or pledge of the rights to be reimbursed for P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a Subservicer set forth in this Agreement. Advance Reimbursement Amounts allocated to reimburse P&I Advances or Servicing Advances made with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to the reimbursement of the unreimbursed P&I Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to such Mortgage Loan on a "first-in, first out" ("FIFO") basis, such that the Advance Reimbursement Amounts shall be applied to reimburse the P&I Advance or Servicing Advance (as the case may be) for such Mortgage Loan that was disbursed earliest in time first, and to reimburse the P&I Advance or Servicing Advance (as the case may be) for such Mortgage Loan that was disbursed latest in time last. Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries with respect to a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to reimburse Servicing Advances outstanding with respect to such Mortgage Loan before being applied to reimburse P&I Advances outstanding with respect to such Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall provide to the related Advancing Person, the Advance Facility trustee (or to any designee of either) loan-by-loan information with respect to each Advance Reimbursement Amount remitted to such Advancing Person, Advance Facility trustee or designee, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each such Advance Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee for all P&I Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the NIM Insurer for any loss, liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Person. Any amendment to this Section 11.11 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 11.11, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder but with the consent of the NIM Insurer, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement upon receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment has no material adverse effect on the Certificateholders or written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not adversely affect the ratings on the Certificates. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorney's fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne by the Servicer. Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the Servicer shall notify the Advancing Person in writing that (1) the Trustee and the Trust are not obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the Advancing Person and (2) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility between the Servicer and the Advancing Person. Section 11.12 Rule of Construction. Article and section headings are for the convenience of the reader and shall not be considered in interpreting this Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the intent of the parties hereto. Section 11.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY. Section 11.14 Rights of the Swap Provider. The Swap Provider shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right to enforce its rights under this Agreement. Section 11.15 Regulation AB Compliance; Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and, to the extent practicable from a timing and information systems perspective and to the extent the Depositor will pay any increased costs of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator caused by such request, agree to comply with all reasonable requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with the Trust, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall, to the extent practicable from a timing and information systems perspective and to the extent the Depositor will pay any increased costs of the Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator caused by such request, cooperate fully with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information available to such party and reasonably necessary in the good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, reasonably believed by the Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Section 11.16 Third Party Rights.

SCHEDULE III Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-NC1 Representations and Warranties of the Responsible Party as to the Mortgage Loans The Responsible Party hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in this Schedule III as to the Mortgage Loans only to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee, as of May 3, 2006 (the "Securitization Closing Date") (unless otherwise expressly indicated). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule III shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement. (a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct; (b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note, other than payments not yet 30 days delinquent, have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its related Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note; (c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. NC Capital has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the related Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest; (d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; (e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated; (f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae Guides or by Freddie Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of the Interim Servicing Agreement. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of the Interim Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming NC Capital and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. NC Capital has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by NC Capital; (g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure and all predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any provisions relating to Prepayment Penalties, have been complied with, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations. NC Capital shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser's inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation; (h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. NC Capital has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has NC Capital waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor; (i) Type of Mortgaged Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgaged Property is a fee simple estate or a leasehold estate located in a jurisdiction in which the use of a leasehold estate for residential properties is a widely accepted practice that consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual residential condominium unit in a condominium project, or a manufactured home, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, or an individual unit in a residential cooperative housing corporation; provided, however, that any condominium unit, planned unit development or residential cooperative housing corporation shall conform with the Underwriting Guidelines and any manufactured dwelling shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings. No portion of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. In the case of a manufactured home, (i) the related manufactured dwelling and the related land are subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the appropriate public recording office and naming Seller as mortgagee, (ii) the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located will deem the manufactured dwelling located on such Mortgaged Property to be a part of the real property on which such dwelling is located, (iii) the related manufactured dwelling was the related Mortgagor's principal residence as of the origination date of such manufactured home Mortgage Loan and (iv) such manufactured home Mortgage Loan is (x) a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (y) secured by manufactured housing treated as a single family residence under Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. None of the Mortgaged Properties are log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types; (j) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected, first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: (i) with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property; (ii) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; (iii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and (iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) and first priority (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) security interest on the property described therein and NC Capital has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. (k) Valid First or Second Priority Security Interest. With respect to any Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected, first priority security interest (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority security interest (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the related cooperative shares securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor's pro rata share of the related residential cooperative housing corporation's payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by the related Security Agreement; (l) No Negative Amortization. With respect to any Second Lien Loan, the related First Lien Loan does not permit negative amortization. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation; (m) Request for Notice; No Consent Required. With respect to any Second Lien Loan, where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for record a request for notice of any action by the related senior lienholder, and NC Capital has notified the senior lienholder in writing of the existence of the Second Lien Loan and requested notification of any action to be taken against the Mortgagor by the senior lienholder. Either (a) no consent for the Second Lien Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien or (b) such consent has been obtained and is contained in the related Mortgage File. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation; (n) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of NC Capital in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. NC Capital has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein; (o) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; (p) Ownership. NC Capital is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, NC Capital will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and NC Capital has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. NC Capital intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan. After the related Closing Date, NC Capital will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and NC Capital will have no obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement; (q) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such state, or (iii) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such state; (r) LTV, PMI Policy. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%. Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an LTV in excess of 80% is insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. Any PMI Policy in effect covers the related Mortgage Loan for the life of such Mortgage Loan. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium; (s) Title Insurance. With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA lender's title insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring NC Capital, its successors and assigns, as to the first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (j) of this Section 9.02, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. NC Capital, its successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including NC Capital, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by NC Capital; (t) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither NC Capital nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration; (u) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage; (v) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation; (w) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than seventy days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap are as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage Loan does not require a balloon payment on its stated maturity date; (x) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law; (y) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines (a copy of which is attached to each related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement). The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae and neither NC Capital nor the Originator has made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used; (z) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor's primary residence; (aa) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above; (bb) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor; (cc) Acceptable Investment. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors who invest in mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan, or cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than the mortgage loans originated by NC Capital generally; (dd) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Custodian. NC Capital is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit A hereto, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian; (ee) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with, and the Mortgaged Property meets the guidelines set forth in the Originator's Underwriting Guidelines; (ff) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to any Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee) with respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located; (gg) Due-On-Sale. With respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder, and to the best of NC Capital's knowledge, such provision is enforceable; (hh) Assumability. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents provide that after the related first Interest Rate Adjustment Date, a related Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party assuming such Mortgage Loan meets certain credit requirements stated in the Mortgage Loan Documents; (ii) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by NC Capital, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature; (jj) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the applicable Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; (kk) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (ll) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by NC Capital and the Originator with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, NC Capital or the Originator and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due NC Capital have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. NC Capital or the Originator executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited; (mm) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate.

WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Custodian By:____________________________________ Name: Title: EXHIBIT G RESIDUAL TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT Securitized Asset Backed Receivables LLC Trust 2006-NC1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-NC1 STATE OF ) ) ss.: COUNTY OF ) The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows: First, The undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the "Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among Securitized Asset Backed Receivables LLC, as depositor (the "Depositor"), NC Capital Corporation, as responsible party (the "Responsible Party"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as servicer (the "Servicer"), OfficeTiger Global Real Estate Services Inc., as loan performance advisor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator") and custodian (the "Custodian"), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Securities Administrator. Second, The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false. Third, The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are Non-Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false. Fourth, The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.) Fifth, The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void. Sixth, The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is a Non-Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Securities Administrator a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit H to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the effect that, among other things, such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is a Non-Permitted Transferee. Seventh, The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future. The Transferee intends to pay all taxes due with respect to the Certificate as they become due. Eighth, The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________. Ninth, The Transferee is not a Disqualified Non-U.S. Person as defined in the Agreement. Tenth, The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax. Eleventh, The Transferee will not cause income from the Residual Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S. Person. Twelfth, Check the applicable paragraph: [ ] The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of: 1. the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire such Certificate; 2. the present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate; and 3. the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses. For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Transferee. [ ] The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly, (i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the United States; (ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million; (iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and (iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith. [ ] None of the above. Thirteenth, The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan. * * * IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this ___ day of _______, 20__. _______________________________________ Print Name of Transferee By:____________________________________ Name: Title: [Corporate Seal] ATTEST: ____________________________________ [Assistant] Secretary Personally appeared before me the above-named __________, known or proved to me to be the same person who executed the foregoing instrument and to be the ___________ of the Transferee, and acknowledged that he executed the same as his free act and deed and the free act and deed of the Transferee.

MASTER AGREEMENT dated as of ............ ..................................... and .................................... have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a "Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions. Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: -- 1. Interpretation (a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement. (b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction. (c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions. 2. Obligations (a) General Conditions. (i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement. (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement. (b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change. (c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:-- (i) in the same currency; and (ii) in respect of the same Transaction, by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount. The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries. (d) Deduction or Withholding for Tax. (i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party ("X") will:-- (1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement; (2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y; (3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and (4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:-- (A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or (B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law. (ii) Liability. If: -- (1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4); (2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and (3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X, then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)). (e) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect o-f the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement. 3. Representations Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that:-- (a) Basic Representations.

All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in lull force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and (v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)). (b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party. (c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document. (d) Accuracy of Specified Information.

Agreements Each party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to which it is a party:-- (a) Furnish Specified Information. It will deliver to the other party or, in certain cases under subparagraph (iii) below, to such government or taxing authority as the other party reasonably directs:-- (i) any forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; (ii) any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; and (iii) upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other party or its Credit Support Provider to make a payment under this Agreement or any applicable Credit Support Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification, in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable. (b) Maintain Authorisations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and will use all reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary in the future. (c) Comply with Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or an Credit Support Document to which it is a party. (d) Tax Agreement. It will give notice of any failure of a representation made by it under Section 3(f) to be accurate and true promptly upon learning of such failure. (e) Payment of Stamp Tax.

Events of Default and Termination Events (a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an "Event of Default") with respect to such party:-- (i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the party; (ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the party; (iii) Credit Support Default. (1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable grace period has elapsed; (2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of the other party; or (3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the validity of such Credit Support Document; (iv) Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation under Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated; (v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf); (vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being declared, due and payable under such agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period); (vii) Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party:-- (1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or (viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:-- (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or (2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement. (b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:-- (i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party): -- (1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or (2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction; (ii) Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)); (iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii); (iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or (v) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation). (c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default. 6. Early Termination (a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8). (b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event. (i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. (ii) Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist. If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i). Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed. (iii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event. (iv) Right to Terminate. If: -- (1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or (2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party, either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions. (c) Effect of Designation. (i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing. (ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e). (d) Calculations. (i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation. (ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. (e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method, either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off. (i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default: -- (1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. (2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-Defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. (3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party. (4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party. (ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event: -- (1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions. (2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties: -- (A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and (B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss ("Y"). If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y. (iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii). (iv) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses. 7. Transfer Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that: -- (a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and (b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e). Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void. 8. Contractual Currency (a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess. (b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party. The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency. (c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement. (d) Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made. 9. Miscellaneous (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto. (b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system. (c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction. (d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law. (e) Counterparts and Confirmations. (i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original. (ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation. (f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. (g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement. 10. Offices; Multibranch Parties (a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into. (b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party. (c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation. 11.

"Loss" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(l) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party's legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not) determine its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets. "Market Quotation" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document with a respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such determination as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined. "Non-default Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if it were to fund the relevant amount.

"Potential Event of Default" means any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default. "Reference Market-makers" means four leading dealers in the relevant market selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the same city. "Relevant Jurisdiction" means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in which the party is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat, (b) where an Office through which the party is acting for purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this Agreement and (d) its relation to any payment, from or through which such payment is made. "Scheduled Payment Date" means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction. "Set-off" means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement, another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed on, such payer. "Settlement Amount" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination Date, the sum of: -- (a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and (b) such party's Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a commercially reasonable result. "Specified Entity" has the meanings specified in the Schedule. "Specified Indebtedness" means, subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise) in respect of borrowed money. "Specified Transaction" means, subject to the Schedule, (a) any transaction (including an agreement with respect thereto) now existing or hereafter entered into between one party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party) and the other party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such other party or any applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option, interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including any option with respect to any of these transactions), (b) any combination of these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation. "Stamp Tax" means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax. "Tax" means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this Agreement other than a stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax. "Tax Event" has the meaning specified in Section 5(b). "Tax Event Upon Merger" has the meaning specified in Section 5(b). "Terminated Transactions" means with respect to any Early Termination Date (a) if resulting from a Termination Event, all Affected Transactions and (b) if resulting from an Event of Default, all Transactions (in either ease) in effect immediately before the effectiveness of the notice designating that Early Termination Date (or, if "Automatic Early Termination" applies, immediately before that Early Termination Date). "Termination Currency" has the meaning specified in the Schedule. "Termination Currency Equivalent" means, in respect of any amount denominated in the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in respect of any amount denominated in a currency other than the Termination Currency (the "Other Currency"), the amount in the Termination Currency determined by the party making the relevant determination as being required to purchase such amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if the relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined as of a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at the rate equal to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent (selected as provided below) for the purchase of such Other Currency with the Termination Currency at or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in which such foreign exchange agent is located) on such date as would be customary for the determination of such a rate for the purchase of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early Termination Date or that later date. The foreign exchange agent will, if only one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties. "Termination Event" means an Illegality, a Tax Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger or, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event. "Termination Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as certified by such party) if it were to fund or of funding such amounts. "Unpaid Amounts" owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became payable (or that would have become payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal to the fair market value of that which was (or would have been) required to be delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each ease together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to (but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it shall be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market values reasonably determined by both parties.
