In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s expense, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement (and any Subsequent Transfer Agreement, as applicable) for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the series of Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, and the Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

In instances where, for a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage is not delivered as provided above, and in instances where intervening assignments called for by clause (v) above are unavailable, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered the original recorded Mortgage and intervening assignments to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof but in no event later than one year after the Closing Date.

The Seller hereby confirms to the Depositor and the Trustee that it has caused the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Mortgage Loans to be clearly and unambiguously marked, and has made the appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trustee, as designee of the Depositor, and constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the trust created hereunder.

(b)

The parties hereto intend that the transactions set forth herein be a sale by the Seller to the Depositor of all the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other property described above and the sale by the Depositor to the Trust of all the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other property described above. In the event either transaction set forth herein is deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Depositor, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, a security interest in all of its respective right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property described above; and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee 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 Mortgage Loans, 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.

Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, neither the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall (and the Servicer shall ensure that no Subservicer shall) assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Trust or any portion thereof, or permit the Trust or any portion thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security interest, pledge or other encumbrance of, any other Person.

In the event that the parties hereto have failed to transfer the entire legal ownership in and to each Mortgage Loan to the Trust, the parties hereto intend that this document operate to transfer the entire equitable ownership interest in and to each Mortgage Loan to the Trust.

(c)

Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Seller, at its own expense, shall prepare and send for recording the Assignments of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, in the appropriate real property or other records; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to record Assignments of Mortgage if the related Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the recording thereof is not necessary to protect the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders in the related Mortgage as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. With respect to any Assignment of Mortgage as to which the related recording information is unavailable within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, such Assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording within thirty (30) days after receipt of such information but in no event later than one year after the Closing Date. The Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be required to retain a copy of each Assignment of Mortgage submitted for recording. In the event that any such Assignment of Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare a substitute Assignment of Mortgage or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the Seller shall be required to submit each such Assignment of Mortgage for recording. Any failure of the Seller to comply with this Section 2.01(c) shall result in the obligation of the Seller to purchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02.

(d)

Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage File except as expressly provided in Section 2.02. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, in reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to such subsection, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, but shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where applicable, that it purports to be recorded, but shall not be required to determine whether any Person executing any document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine.

(e)

Notwithstanding the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 2.01(c), Assignments of Mortgage shall be submitted by the Seller for recording within five (5) Business Days after the earlier to occur of (i) a transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans from the Servicer and (ii) an Event of Default.

Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee hereby acknowledges the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, and, subject to the review provided for in this Section 2.02 and the period for delivery provided for in Section 2.01, its receipt or that of the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee of the Mortgage Files, and declares that the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee holds and will hold such documents and all amounts received by it thereunder and hereunder in trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. If the Seller is given notice under this Section 2.02 that a Mortgage File is defective or incomplete and if the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within the 90-day period specified in this Section 2.02, the Seller shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee (i) on the Determination Date in the month following the month in which such 90 day period expired at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan or (ii) upon the expiration of such 90 day period if the omission or defect would result in the related Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage Loan for purposes of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account (and the Servicer shall deposit such amount upon receipt) no later than the applicable Determination Date or the Business Day preceding the expiration of such 90-day period, as the case may be; and, upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Responsible Officer of the Seller, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such defect or omission available to the Servicer (in its role as such), the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. An Opinion of Counsel to the effect set forth in Section 2.05(d) shall be delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such repurchase. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, at the Seller’s expense, either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

The Seller, promptly following the transfer of (i) a Defective Mortgage Loan from or (ii) an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.02 or Section 2.05, as the case may be, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, appropriately mark the Electronic Ledger and make appropriate entries in its general account records to reflect such transfer and the addition of any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, if applicable.

On the Closing Date or no later than the 45th day following the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall certify to the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer (and the Trustee if the Custodian is so certifying) that it has reviewed each Mortgage File and that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit O as not covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File required to be delivered to it pursuant to paragraphs (i) - (v) and (vii) of Section 2.01(a) are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule which corresponds to items (ii) and (iii) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. If within such 45-day period the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in said Mortgage Loan Schedule or, if in the course of its review, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee determines that such Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material respect, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall promptly upon the conclusion of its review notify the Seller in the form of an exception report and the Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days after such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect.

On the 360th day following the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Seller and the Servicer an exception report showing the documents outstanding pursuant to Section 2.01(a) along with a final certification annexed hereto as Exhibit P updated from the previous certification issued in the form of Exhibit O. The Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall also maintain records adequate to determine the date on which any document required to be delivered to it after such 360th day following the Closing Date must be delivered to it, and on each such date, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall review the related Mortgage File to determine whether such document has, in fact, been delivered. After the delivery of the final certification, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit P, (i) the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall provide to the Servicer and the Seller (and to the Trustee if delivered by the Custodian), no less frequently than monthly, updated exception reports showing the documents outstanding pursuant to Section 2.01(a) until all such exceptions have been eliminated and (ii) the Seller shall provide to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee and the Servicer, no less frequently than monthly, updated certifications indicating the then current status of exceptions until all such exceptions have been eliminated; provided that the delivery of the final certification shall not act as a waiver of any of the rights the Certificateholders may have with respect to such exceptions, and all rights are reserved with respect thereto.

Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian makes any representations as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, sufficiency, legality, due authorization, recordation or genuineness of any document or (ii) the collectability, insurability or effectiveness of any of the Mortgage Loans.

Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Regarding the Mortgage Loans.

(a)

The Seller represents and warrants to the Servicer, Depositor and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as follows as of the Closing Date:

The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Prepayment Charge Schedule is complete, true and correct as of the dates as of which the information therein is given;

The Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages have not been assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than warehouse lenders, and immediately prior to the transactions herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title thereto, and was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interests, equities, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature (collectively, a “Lien”), other than any such Lien released simultaneously with the sale contemplated herein, and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to this Agreement, and immediately upon the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Agreement, the Trust will be the sole beneficial owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any lien, claim, participation interest, mortgage, security interest, pledge, charge or other encumbrance or other interest of any nature;

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan, each Mortgage is a valid and existing lien on the property therein described, and each Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the lien of the Mortgage, except (i) liens for real estate taxes and special assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) 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 such Mortgage, (iv) in the case of a Mortgaged Property that is a condominium or an individual unit in a planned unit development, liens for common charges permitted by statute and (v) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property, the related First Lien. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to the Mortgage and delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee establishes in the Seller a valid and subsisting lien on the property described therein, and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Trust;

The terms of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Trust, and which has been delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee. The substance of any such alteration or modification is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in connection with any Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement which has been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and which has been delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee;

Except with respect to delinquencies described in clause (12) hereof, no Mortgagor is in default in complying with the terms of its Mortgage Note or Mortgage, and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration except that the Seller may have accepted late payments, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums or water, sewer and municipal charges 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. The Seller 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 by the Mortgage, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one (1) month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such a proceeding currently occurring, and such property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or otherwise, 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;

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 law could give rise to such lien) affecting any Mortgaged Property which are, or may be, liens prior or equal to, or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage except those that are stated in the title insurance policy and for which related losses are affirmatively insured against by such policy;

All of the improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of each Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those that are stated in the title insurance policy and for which related losses are affirmatively insured against by such policy;

10.

No improvement located on or being part of any Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation. 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 and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law;

11.

All parties that have had any interest in any 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 licensing requirements of the United States and of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located that are applicable to such parties and (2)(A) organized under the laws of such state or (B) qualified to do business in such state or exempt from such qualification in a manner so as not to affect adversely the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan or (C) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state or (D) not doing business in such state;

12.

With respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, as of the Cut-Off Date, (i) all payments required to be made on each Initial Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Note have been made and none of the Initial Mortgage Loans (by Cut-Off Date Pool Balance) are 31 or more days delinquent, and (ii) no payment required to be made on any Initial Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 to 59 days delinquent more than once during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Cut-Off Date;

13.

Each of the documents and instruments included in a Mortgage File is duly executed and in due and proper form and each such document or instrument is in a form generally acceptable to prudent institutional mortgage lenders that regularly originate or purchase mortgage loans;

14.

The Mortgage Notes and the related Mortgages are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person who is a party to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage in an individual capacity, and not in the capacity of a trustee or otherwise;

15.

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 or disclosure laws, applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loans or otherwise applicable to the Mortgage Loans have been complied with, and the Seller has and shall maintain in its possession, available for the Trustee’s inspection, and shall deliver to the Trustee, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;

16.

Except for Escrow Repair Loans, the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on site or off site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loan have been paid;

17.

Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA mortgage title insurance policy or such other form of policy acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by and constituting the valid and binding obligation of a title insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that regularly originate or purchase mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans for sale to prudent investors in the secondary market that invest in mortgage loans such as the Mortgage Loans and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by a First Lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the second priority lien of the Mortgage in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller is the sole named insured of such mortgage title insurance policy, the assignment to the Trustee of the Seller’s interest in such mortgage title insurance policy does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer or the same has been obtained, and such mortgage title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Trustee upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such mortgage title insurance policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such mortgage title insurance policy;

18.

All improvements upon the Mortgaged Properties are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. If a Mortgaged Property was, at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Hazard Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and if the flood insurance policy referenced herein has been made available), a flood insurance policy is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage described in this Agreement. All individual insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) are the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns, as mortgagee. All premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

19.

No Mortgage Loan is subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of any Mortgage Note or the related Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

20.

Each Mortgage Loan was originated or purchased and reunderwritten by the Seller;

21.

Each Mortgage Loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest which would be sufficient, in the absence of late payments, to fully amortize such loan within the term thereof, beginning no later than sixty (60) days after disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan bears a fixed interest rate for the term of the Mortgage Loan or an adjustable-interest rate based on the related Loan Index;

22.

Each Mortgage contains a customary provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the holder thereunder;

23.

No Mortgage Loan is a construction loan;

24.

The Mortgage Notes are not and have not been secured by any collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (3) above;

25.

Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale and (ii) otherwise by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor that would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;

26.

With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Trustee or the Certificateholders to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor, which fees and expenses shall constitute Servicing Advances;

27.

Each Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No residence or dwelling is a manufactured dwelling that is not treated as real property under local law. No Mortgaged Properties are held under a ground lease;

28.

The Mortgage Loans were underwritten in accordance with the Seller’s underwriting guidelines described in the Prospectus under the heading “The Seller—Underwriting”;

29.

There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;

30.

No Mortgage Loan was originated under a buy-down plan;

31.

Other than as provided by this Agreement, there is no obligation on the part of the Seller or any other party to make payments in addition to those made by the Mortgagors;

32.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in possession of a complete Mortgage File, except those documents delivered to the Trustee or Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, and there are no custodial agreements in effect adversely affecting the right or ability of the Seller to make the document deliveries required hereby;

(b)

the related First Lien does not provide for negative amortization;

(c)

either no consent for the Mortgage Loan secured by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property is required by the holder of the related First Lien or such consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File; and

except with respect to no more than 10% of the Initial Mortgage Loans which are fixed-rate Mortgage Loans secured by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property, measured by Cut-Off Date Pool Balance, the related First Lien is not held by an individual;

36.

Each Mortgage Loan conforms, and all the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate conform, in all material respects to the description thereof set forth in the Prospectus Supplement;

37.

A full appraisal on forms approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac was performed in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan. Each appraisal meets guidelines that would be generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that regularly originate or purchase mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans for sale to prudent investors in the secondary market that invest in mortgage loans such as the Mortgage Loans;

38.

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no Mortgaged Property was, as of the related Cut Off Date, located within a one mile radius of any site listed in the National Priorities List as defined under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or on any similar state list of hazardous waste sites which are known to contain any hazardous substance or hazardous waste;

39.

None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to a bankruptcy proceeding;

40.

No more than 8%, 17%, and 5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance relates to Mortgage Loans originated or purchased under the Seller’s limited documentation program, non-income verification program for self-employed borrowers or stated income program, respectively;

41.

Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;

42.

Each Cooperative Loan is secured by a valid, subsisting and enforceable perfected first lien and security interest in the related Mortgaged Property, subject only to (i) the rights of the Cooperative Corporation to collect Maintenance and assessments from the Mortgagor, (ii) the lien of the Blanket Mortgage, if any, on the Cooperative Property and of real property taxes, water and sewer charges, rents and assessments on the Cooperative Property not yet due and payable, and (iii) other matters to which like Cooperative Units are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Security Agreement or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the Cooperative Unit. Each original UCC financing statement, continuation statement or other governmental filing or recordation necessary to create or preserve the perfection and priority of the first priority lien and security interest in the Cooperative Shares and Proprietary Lease has been timely and properly made. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to the Cooperative Loan and delivered to the Seller or its designee establishes in the Seller a valid and subsisting perfected first lien on and security interest in the property described therein, and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same;

43.

Each Cooperative Corporation qualifies as a “cooperative housing corporation” as defined in Section 216 of the Code;

44.

Each adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan is secured by a first lien, and each fixed-rate Mortgage Loan is secured by a first or second lien;

Upon discovery by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, which materially and adversely affects the value of, or the interests of the Trust or the Certificateholders in, the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within sixty (60) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, the Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to cure such breach in all material respects or shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 2.05 for such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at the Purchase Price, and in each case shall be accomplished in the manner set forth in Section 2.02. The Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligations under this subparagraph. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such breach available to the Servicer (in its role as such), the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. An Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect set forth in Section 2.05(d) shall be delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such repurchase.

Section 2.05. Substitution of Mortgage Loans.

(a)

On a Determination Date within two (2) years following the Closing Date and which is on or before the date on which the Seller would otherwise be required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan under Section 2.02 or 2.04, the Seller may deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in substitution for any one or more of the Defective Mortgage Loans which the Seller would otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.04.

(b)

The Seller shall notify the Servicer and the Trustee in writing not less than five (5) Business Days before the related Determination Date which is on or before the date on which the Seller would otherwise be required to repurchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.04 of its intention to effect a substitution under this Section 2.05. On such Determination Date (the “Substitution Date”), the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee (1) the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans to be substituted for the Defective Mortgage Loans, (2) a list of the Defective Mortgage Loans to be substituted for by such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, (3) an Officer’s Certificate (A) stating that the aggregate Principal Balance of all Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans (determined with respect to each Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the Determination Date on which it was substituted) including the principal balance of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans being substituted on such Determination Date does not exceed an amount equal to 5% of the aggregate Original Class Principal Balance as of the Closing Date, (B) stating that all conditions precedent to such substitution specified in subsection (a) have been satisfied and attaching as an exhibit a supplemental Mortgage Loan schedule (the “Supplemental Mortgage Loan Schedule”) setting forth the same type of information as appears on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and representing as to the accuracy thereof and (C) confirming that the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.04 are true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Substitute Mortgage Loans on and as of such Determination Date, provided that remedies for the inaccuracy of such representations are limited as set forth in Sections 2.02, 2.04 and this Section 2.05, (4) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect set forth below and (5) a certificate stating that cash in the amount of the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, has been delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall release such Defective Mortgage Loans to the Seller.

(c)

Concurrently with the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.05(a) and (b) above and the transfer of such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.05(a), Exhibit C to this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to exclude all Mortgage Loans being replaced by such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans and to include the information set forth on the Supplemental Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans, and all references in this Agreement to Mortgage Loans shall include such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans and be deemed to be made on or after the related Substitution Date, as the case may be, as to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans.

(d)

In connection with any Mortgage Loan that the Seller is required to purchase or replace, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such purchase or substitution will not cause (x) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust, including, without limitation, any Federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the start-up day” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (y) any portion of any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. In the event that such opinion indicates that a repurchase or substitution will result in the imposition of a prohibited transaction tax, give rise to net taxable income or be deemed a contribution to a REMIC after its Startup Day, the Seller shall not be required to repurchase or replace any such Mortgage Loan unless and until the Servicer has determined and given the Seller and the Trustee written notice that there is an actual or imminent default with respect thereto or that such defect or breach adversely affects the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.06. Execution and Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall cause to be executed, authenticated and delivered on the Closing Date to or upon the order of the Seller, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans, concurrently with the sale, assignment and conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans, each Class of Certificates in authorized denominations or Percentage Interests, together evidencing the ownership of the entire Trust.

Section 2.07. Designation of Interests in REMICs.

(a)

The Trustee shall elect that each of REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III and REMIC IV (which, together with the Net Rate Cap Fund, the Pre-Funding Account, the First Payment Loan Account, the Prepayment Charges and the Interest Rate Cap Agreements constitute the Trust) shall be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections. The assets of REMIC IV shall include the Mortgage Loans (net of the Prepayment Charges), the Accounts (other than the Net Rate Cap Fund, the Pre-Funding Account, the First Payment Loan Account and the Interest Rate Cap Agreements), any REO Property, and any proceeds of the foregoing. The REMIC IV Regular Interests (as defined below) shall constitute the assets of REMIC III, the REMIC III Regular Interests (as defined below) shall constitute the assets of REMIC II, and the REMIC II Regular Interests (as defined below) shall constitute the assets of REMIC I. The Interest Rate Cap Agreements, the Pre-Funding Account, the First Payment Loan Account, the Prepayment Charges and the Net Rate Cap Fund shall not be assets of any REMIC.

(b)

The following table sets forth (or describes) the class designation, interest rate, and initial class principal amount for each class of REMIC IV Interests. Each such class, other than the Class R-4, is hereby designated as a class of regular interests in REMIC IV (the “REMIC IV Regular Interests”), and Class R-4 is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC IV, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. Only Class R-4 shall be certificated and the other classes shall be uncertificated and shall be held as assets of REMIC III.

REMIC IV Class Designation	REMIC IV Interest Rate	Initial Class Principal Amount
Class IV-Initial	(1)	(2)
Class IV-Subs-PO	(3)	(4)
Class IV-Subs-IO	(5)	(5)
Class R-4	(6)	(6)

(1)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Period) for this REMIC IV Regular Interest is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Loan Rates of the Initial Mortgage Loans.

(2)

This REMIC IV Regular Interest shall have an initial principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

(3)

For each Distribution Date prior to the Distribution Date in March 2004 (and the related Interest Period), this REMIC IV Regular Interest shall bear interest at a rate equal to 0.00%. For each Distribution Date (and the related Interest Period) thereafter, this REMIC IV Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Loan Rates of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

(4)

This REMIC IV Regular Interest shall have an initial principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Pre-Funded Amount as of the Cut-Off Date.

This REMIC IV Regular Interest shall be an interest-only regular interest.

Thereafter, this REMIC IV Regular Interest shall not be entitled to any distributions.

(6)

The Class R-4 Certificate is the sole class of residual interest in REMIC IV. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance. On each Distribution Date, Available Funds (net of amounts in the First Payment Loan Account) remaining after all distributions with respect to the other REMIC IV Interests have been made in the manner described below shall be distributed with respect to the Class R-4 Certificate.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first apply Available Funds (net of amounts payable from the First Payment Loan Account) in the following order of priority:

First, the Trustee shall pay and charge as an expense of REMIC IV all expenses of the Trust as specified in Section 5.01(a)(1) for such Distribution Date.

Second, the Trustee shall distribute interest with respect to each of the REMIC IV Regular Interests based on the rates described above.

Finally, the Trustee shall distribute principal in respect of the Initial Mortgage Loans to the REMIC IV-Initial Regular Interest and principal in respect of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and any remaining Pre-Funded Amount to the REMIC IV-Subs-PO Regular Interest. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the REMIC IV Regular Interests in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Period) for each of these REMIC III Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates for the Class IV-Initial and Class IV-Subs-PO Regular Interests for such Distribution Date.

(2)

This REMIC III Regular Interest shall have an initial principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the REMIC IV Regular Interests over $336,458,333.00.

(3)

This REMIC III Regular Interest shall be an interest-only regular interest. For each Distribution Date prior to the Distribution Date in March 2004 (and the related Interest Period), this REMIC III Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest accrued on the Class III-Subs-IO Regular Interest. Thereafter, this REMIC III Regular Interest shall not be entitled to any distributions.

(4)

The Class R-3 Certificate is the sole class of residual interest in REMIC III. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance. On each Distribution Date, Available Funds (net of amounts in the First Payment Loan Account) remaining after all distributions with respect to the other REMIC III Interests have been made in the manner described below shall be distributed with respect to the Class R-3 Certificate.

To the Class III-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and

(ii)

Then sequentially, to each REMIC III Regular Interest having an “S(1)” in its class designation in ascending order of their numerical designation until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero.

All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the REMIC III Regular Interests in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

___________________________

(1)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Period) for each of these REMIC II Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates for the Class III Regular Interests (other than any interest-only Class), weighted on the principal balance of each such Regular Interest and determined by reducing the interest rate on each Class III Regular Interest having the term “A-S(1)” in its designation by a per annum rate equal to 3.00% for each Distribution Date on which interest on such Regular Interest is distributable to the Class II-S(1) Regular Interest.

(2)

This REMIC II Regular Interest shall be an interest-only regular interest. For the applicable Distribution Date listed in the first column in the table below, the Class II-S(1) shall be entitled to interest accrued at a per annum rate of 3.00% on each REMIC III Interest listed in the second column of the table below.

(3)

This REMIC II Regular Interest shall be an interest-only regular interest. For each Distribution Date, this REMIC II Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest accrued on the Class III-Subs-IO Regular Interest. All amounts distributable on this regular interest shall be distributed by REMIC I to the regular interest in REMIC I corresponding to the Class BIO Certificate.

(4)

The Class R-2 Certificate is the sole class of residual interest in REMIC II. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance. On each Distribution Date, Available Funds (net of amounts in the First Payment Loan Account) remaining after all distributions with respect to the other REMIC II Interests have been made in the manner described below shall be distributed with respect to the Class R-2 Certificate.

(5)

This REMIC II Regular Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of the (i) the sum of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date plus the Original Pre-Funded Amount minus (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of each other regular interest in REMIC II.

On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute from amounts payable with respect to the REMIC III Regular Interests held as assets by REMIC II, in the following order of priority:

First, the Trustee shall distribute interest with respect to each of the REMIC II Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates, provided however, that interest that accrues on the Class II-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Overcollateralization Amount for such Distribution Date and that interest that accrues on the Class II-A-3 Interest shall be deferred in an amount such that its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class A-3 Certificates. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class II-Q Interest. An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other REMIC II Regular Interests having a principal balance in the manner described below.

Second, the Trustee shall distribute principal on the REMIC II Regular Interests (including the amount, if any, equal to the interest deferred on the Class II-Q and Class II-A-3 Interests for such Distribution Date), and shall allocate losses, among the REMIC II Regular Interests in the following order of priority:

(i)

First, to the Class II-A-1 Interest until the principal balance of such Lower Tier Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

(ii)

Second, to the Class II-A-2 Interest until the principal balance of such Lower Tier Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class A-2 Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

(iii)

Third, to the Class II-A-3 Interest until the principal balance of such Lower Tier Interest equal one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class A-3 Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

(iv)

Fourth, to the Class II-M-1 Interest until its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class M-1 Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

(v)

Fifth, concurrently, to the Class II-M-2A and Class II-M-2F Interests until the principal balance of the Class II-M-2A Interest equals one-half of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Class M-2A Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date and the principal balance of the Class II-M-2F Interest equals one-half of the aggregate Class M-2F Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

(vi)

Sixth, to the Class II-M-3 Interest until its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class M-3 Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

(vii)

Seventh, to the Class II-M-4 Interest until its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class M-4 Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

(viii)

Eighth, to the Class II-M-5 Interest until its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class M-5 Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;

(ix)

Ninth, to the Class II-M-6 Interest until its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class M-6 Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(x)

Finally, to the Class II-Q Interest, any remaining amounts.

(f)

The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class M-1, Class M-2A, Class M-2F, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M 5, Class M-6 and Class BIO Certificates are hereby designated as “regular interests” with respect to REMIC I (the “REMIC I Regular Interests”) and the Class R-1 Certificate is hereby designated as the single “residual interest” with respect to REMIC I. On each Distribution Date, Available Funds (net of amounts in the First Payment Loan Account), if any, remaining in REMIC I after payments of interest and principal as designated herein shall be distributed to the Class R-1 Certificates. It is expected that there will not be any distributions on the Class R-1 Certificates.

The Trustee shall treat the rights of the holders of Certificates (other than the Class S, Class P, Class BIO and Residual Certificates) to receive payments from the Net Rate Cap Fund as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by the holder of the Class BIO Certificates in favor of the holder of the Certificates (other than the Class S, Class P, Class BIO and Residual Certificates). For this purpose, such rights include not only the rights with respect to Net Rate Cap Carryovers but also the rights of a holder of a Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class M-1, Class M-2A, Class M-2F, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 or Class M-6 Certificate to receive amounts in excess of the amounts payable on the regular interest in REMIC I corresponding to such Certificate. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class S, Class P, Class BIO and Residual Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in REMIC I, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate cap contract.

Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article V hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this section. In no event shall any payment on a Certificate in excess of the amount payable on the regular interest in REMIC I corresponding to such Certificate be treated as a payment with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

The Class P Certificates shall be entitled to receive all Prepayment Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such Prepayment Charges shall not be an asset of any REMIC formed hereby and Class P shall not represent an interest in any REMIC formed hereby.

Section 2.08. Designation of Startup Day of REMIC. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “start-up day” of each REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

Section 2.09. REMIC Certificate Maturity Date. Solely for purposes of satisfying Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the “latest possible maturity date” of the regular interests in each REMIC is the Distribution Date in March 2034.

Section 2.10. Tax Returns and Reports to Certificateholders.

(a)

For federal income tax purposes, each REMIC shall have a calendar year and shall maintain its books on the accrual method of accounting.

(b)

The Tax Matters Person shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, execute and deliver to the Trustee, the Servicer or Certificateholders, as applicable, any income tax information returns for each taxable year with respect to the Trust containing such information at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations or rules, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trust and the Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby. Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Tax Matters Person shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise required by the Code, the name, title, address and telephone number of the person that Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code and shall apply for an employer identification number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method. Such federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations or rules.

(c)

In the first federal income tax return of the Trust for its short taxable year ending December 31, 2003, a REMIC election shall be made with respect to each REMIC for such taxable year and all succeeding taxable years.

(d)

The Tax Matters Person will maintain or cause to be maintained such records relating to the Trust, including, but not limited to, the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the Trust, and adjusted basis of the Trust property and assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, all as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information.

(e)

The Servicer and the Trustee, upon request, shall promptly furnish the Tax Matters Person with all such information as may be reasonably available to, or in the possession of, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and as may be required in connection with the Tax Matters Person’s REMIC reporting obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Tax Matters Person shall have no responsibility for the lack of any information required in connection with REMIC reporting obligations that is not provided to it by the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable.

Section 2.11. Tax Matters Person. The tax matters person with respect to each REMIC (the “Tax Matters Person”) shall be the holder of the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest which initially is the Seller. The Tax Matters Person shall at all times hold the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest and shall have the same duties with respect to the Trust as those of a “tax matters partner” under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle F of the Code. Each holder of a Residual Certificate shall be deemed to have agreed, by acceptance thereof, to be bound by this Section 2.11.

Section 2.12. REMIC Related Covenants. It is intended that each REMIC formed hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of each REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a REMIC as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. For as long as the Trust shall exist, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Tax Matters Person shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of each REMIC as a REMIC and avoid the imposition of tax on the Trust. In particular:

(a)

The Trustee shall not create, or knowingly permit the creation of, any “interests” in any REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860D(a)(2) other than the interests represented by the Regular Certificates, the REMIC II Regular Interests, the REMIC III Regular Interests, the REMIC IV Regular Interests and the Residual Certificates.

(b)

Except as otherwise provided in the Code, the Seller shall not grant and the Trustee shall not accept property unless (i) substantially all of the property held in the Trust constitutes either “qualified mortgages” or “permitted investments” as defined in Code Sections 860G(a)(3) and (5), respectively, and (ii) no property shall be contributed to the Trust after the Startup Day unless such grant would not subject any REMIC to the 100% tax on contributions to a REMIC after its Startup Day imposed by Code Section 860G(d).

(c)

The Trustee shall not accept on behalf of the Trust any fee or other compensation for services (other than as otherwise provided herein) and shall not accept on behalf of the Trust any income from assets other than those permitted to be held by a REMIC.

(d)

The Trustee shall not sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans (other than in accordance with Section 2.02, 2.04 or 3.16), unless such sale is pursuant to a “qualified liquidation” as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) and in accordance with Article VIII.

(e)

The Tax Matters Person shall maintain books with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(f)

Upon filing with the Internal Revenue Service, the Tax Matters Person shall furnish to the Holders of the Residual Certificates the Form 1066 and each Form 1066Q for the applicable REMIC and shall respond promptly to written requests made not more frequently than quarterly by any Holder of Residual Certificates with respect to the following matters:

(i)

The original projected principal and interest cash flows on the Closing Date on each class of regular and residual interests created hereunder and on the Mortgage Loans, based on 100% and 100% of the applicable Prepayment Assumption in the case of the fixed rate and adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, respectively (and assuming that each REMIC is liquidated on the Optional Termination Date);

(ii)

The projected remaining principal and interest cash flows as of the end of any calendar quarter with respect to each class of regular and residual interests created hereunder and the Mortgage Loans, based on 120% and 100% of the applicable Prepayment Assumption in the case of the fixed rate and adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, respectively (and assuming that each REMIC is liquidated on the Optional Termination Date);

(iii)

The applicable percentage of the Prepayment Assumption and any interest rate assumptions used in determining the projected principal and interest cash flows described above;

(iv)

The original issue discount (or, in the case of the Mortgage Loans, market discount) or premium accrued or amortized through the end of such calendar quarter with respect to each class of regular or residual interests created hereunder and with respect to the Mortgage Loans, together with each constant yield to maturity used in computing the same;

(v)

The treatment of losses realized with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the regular interests created hereunder, including the timing and amount of any cancellation of indebtedness income of each REMIC with respect to such regular interests or bad debt deductions claimed with respect to the Mortgage Loans;

(vi)

The amount and timing of any non-interest expenses of each REMIC; and

(vii)

Any taxes (including penalties and interest) imposed on each REMIC, including, without limitation, taxes on “prohibited transactions,” “contributions” or “net income from foreclosure property” or state or local income or franchise taxes.

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of a REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Trust after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax (other than any minimum tax imposed by Section 24874 and 23153 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code) is imposed, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Tax Matters Person, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Tax Matters Person of any of the obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) otherwise the Holders of the applicable Residual Certificates in proportion to their Percentage Interests. To the extent any tax is chargeable against the Holders of the Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Trustee is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the applicable Residual Certificates on any Distribution Date sufficient funds to reimburse the Trustee for the payment of such tax (to the extent that the Trustee has not been previously reimbursed or indemnified therefor).

The Trustee shall not engage in a “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2)), except that, with the prior written consent of the Seller, the Trustee may engage in the activities otherwise prohibited by the foregoing clauses (b), (c) and (d), provided that the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transaction will not result in the imposition of a contribution or prohibited transaction tax on the Trust and will not disqualify any REMIC from treatment as a REMIC; and provided that the Seller shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Trustee that such action will not adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Certificates and the Trustee and that such action will not adversely impact the rating of the Offered Certificates.

(g)

Except as provided below, the Tax Matters Person shall pay out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement, any and all tax related expenses of the Trust (including, but not limited to, tax return preparation and filing expenses and any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), other than the expense of obtaining any Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to Sections 2.05, 3.06 and 10.02 and other than taxes except as specified herein. The Trustee and the Tax Matters Person shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings that do not result from any breach of their respective duties hereunder.

(h)

On behalf of each REMIC, the Trustee, Servicer or Tax Matters Person, as applicable, shall do the following:

(i)

the Tax Matters Person shall prepare, sign and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066) and any other Tax Return required to be filed by each REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each REMIC;

(ii)

the Tax Matters Person shall make, or cause to be made, an election, on behalf of each REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of each REMIC for its first taxable year;

(iii)

the Tax Matters Person shall prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee (which, subject to receipt thereof shall forward to the Certificateholders, except for Holders of the Residual Certificates) and to the Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant governmental taxing authority all information returns or reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;

(iv)

the Trustee, the Tax Matters Person and the Servicer shall to the extent that the affairs of any REMIC are within its control, conduct such affairs of each REMIC at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation with respect to the Trustee, information reports relating to “original issue discount,” as defined in the Code, based upon 120% of the applicable Prepayment Assumption for fixed rate Mortgage Loans and 100% of the applicable Prepayment Assumption for adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, calculated by using the issue price of the Certificates;

(v)

the Trustee, the Servicer and Tax Matters Person shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC;

(vi)

the Trustee shall pay the amount of any and all federal, state and local taxes upon the Trustee or the Certificateholders in connection with the Trust or the Mortgage Loans, prohibited transaction taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, other than any amount due as a result of a transfer or attempted or purported transfer in violation of Section 6.02, imposed on the Trust when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for all such amounts in accordance with Section 2.12;

(vii)

the Trustee and the Tax Matters Person shall ensure that any such returns or reports filed on behalf of the Trust are properly executed by the appropriate person;

(ix)

the Trustee and the Tax Matters Person shall as provided in Section 6.02, make available information necessary for the computation of any tax imposed (1) on transferors of residual interests to transferees that are not Permitted Transferees or (2) on pass-through entities, any interest in which is held by an entity which is not a Permitted Transferee;

(x)

the Trustee and the Tax Matters Person shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, including the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having among its record holders at any time any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by the Trustee; and

(xi)

the Trustee, the Servicer and the Tax Matters Person shall cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing obligations, including signing any Tax Returns to the extent required by law.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below and pursuant to the terms of each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, in consideration of the Trustee’s delivery, on behalf of the Trust, on the related Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the order of the Seller of the purchase price therefor, the Seller shall on any Subsequent Transfer Date sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Depositor and the Depositor shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Trust, all right, title and interest of the Seller and Depositor, as applicable, in and to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan transferred pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer Agreement, including (i) the related Principal Balance as of the related Cut-Off Date after giving effect to payments of principal due on or before the Cut-Off Date; (ii) all collections in respect of interest and principal received after the related Cut-Off Date (other than principal and interest due on or before such Cut-off Date); (iii) property which secured such Subsequent Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) its interest in any insurance policies in respect of such Subsequent Mortgage Loan; and (v) all proceeds of any of the foregoing. The transfer by the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trust of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans set forth on the Subsequent Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be absolute and shall be intended by the Seller, the Depositor and all parties hereto to be treated as a sale by the Seller to the Depositor and as a sale by the Depositor to the Trust. If the assignment and transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other property specified in this Section 2.13 from the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, both the Seller and the Depositor intend that the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that, in such event, (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Depositor and the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trust as of such Subsequent Transfer Date a first priority security interest in the entire right, title and interest of the Seller and of the Depositor in and to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and all other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.13 and all proceeds thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The purchase price shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-Off Date. On or before each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller shall deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, the Related Documents with respect to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan transferred on such Subsequent Transfer Date, and the related Subsequent Mortgage Loan Schedule in computer readable format with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

(i)

The Seller and the Depositor shall have provided the Servicer, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies with an Addition Notice, which notice shall be given not less than two Business Days prior to the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date and shall designate the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to be sold to the Trust and the aggregate Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans and the Rating Agencies shall have informed the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee prior to the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date that the inclusion of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans will not result in the downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Offered Certificates;

(ii)

The Seller and the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Servicer a duly executed Subsequent Transfer Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D;

(iii)

The Seller shall have delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account all principal collected and interest collected to the extent accrued and due after the related Cut-off Date;

(iv)

As of each Subsequent Transfer Date, neither the Seller nor the Depositor was insolvent, neither the Seller nor the Depositor will be made insolvent by such transfer and neither the Seller nor the Depositor is aware of any pending insolvency;

(v)

Such addition will not result in a material adverse tax consequence to any REMIC or the Holders of the Certificates;

(vi)

The Funding Period shall not have terminated;

(vii)

The Seller and the Depositor shall have provided the Trustee and the Rating Agencies with an Opinion of Counsel relating to the sale (i.e., “True Sale Opinion”) of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the enforceability of the Subsequent Transfer Agreement and to the effect that the transfer of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC, which matters may be covered in the opinions delivered on the Closing Date;

(viii)

The aggregate Principal Balance of Subsequent Mortgage Loans does not exceed the Original Pre-Funded Amount;

(ix)

The conditions specified in Exhibit S hereto shall be met; and

The Seller, the Depositor, the Custodian and the Trustee shall comply with their respective obligations set forth in Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.04 and 2.05 with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans delivered on each Subsequent Transfer Date. References in such Sections to the Initial Mortgage Loans or Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to refer to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and references to the Cut-Off Date or the Closing Date, as applicable, shall be deemed to refer to the applicable related Cut-Off Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, respectively, except that references to 360 days after the Closing Date shall remain unchanged as shall representations made with specific reference to the Initial Mortgage Loans.

ARTICLE III

Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

Section 3.01. The Servicer.

(a)

It is intended that the Trust formed hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify each REMIC as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” (“REMIC”) as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intentions, the Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC.

(b)

The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of Mortgage Loans with any institution which (i) is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such Subservicing Agreement and (ii) meets the requirements of clause (2) of the definition of an Approved Servicer or is an affiliate of the Servicer. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the appointment of any Subservicer. Any such Subservicing Agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor subservicer which qualifies hereunder.

(c)

Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement or 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 for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer has received such payments. 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.

(d)

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 and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.01(e). 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.

(e)

In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Successor Servicer or its designee approved by 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, unless the Successor Servicer or designee approved by the Trustee elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement. Any fee payable in connection with such a termination will be payable by the outgoing Servicer. If the Successor Servicer does not terminate the Subservicing Agreements, the Successor Servicer, its designee or the successor servicer for the Successor Servicer shall be deemed 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 the Subservicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreements with regard to events that occurred prior to the date the Servicer ceased to be the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall, upon the request of 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 it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

(f)

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s good faith determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, provided, however, that (unless (x) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent and (y) such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence would not cause any REMIC to be disqualified or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on any REMIC) the Servicer may not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Loan Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan) or extend the final maturity date on the Mortgage Loan. No costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of Servicing Advances shall, for the purposes of distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trustee and each Certificateholder, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, of partial or full release, or of discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer, in servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, shall employ or cause to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure and REO Property management procedures) and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account, in accordance with accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and giving due consideration to the Certificateholders’ reliance on the Servicer.

(g)

Within ninety (90) days after such time as the Trustee receives the resignation of, or notice of the removal of, the Servicer from its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and with respect to resignation pursuant to Section 7.04, after receipt by the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to Section 7.04, the Successor Servicer shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer, subject to Section 8.02; provided that if the Servicer is removed pursuant to Section 8.02, the Successor Servicer shall immediately be obligated to make Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances as required in this Agreement. The Servicer shall, upon request of the Successor Servicer but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the Successor Servicer all documents and records relating to the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing rights and obligations to the assuming party who shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Servicer (or, to the extent not paid by the Servicer, by the Trust pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(21)) for Servicing Transfer Costs.

(h)

The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to the Trustee on or before the Closing Date.

(i)

Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may consent to the placing of a lien senior to that of the Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property; provided that such senior lien secures a mortgage loan that refinances a First Lien and the combined loan-to-value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan immediately following the refinancing (based on the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and the original principal balance of such refinanced mortgage loan) is not greater than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-Off Date.

(j)

The Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of any Subservicer, when the Servicer or any Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns.

Section 3.02. 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 Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Mortgage Loans. Consistent with the foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) subject to the provisions of Section 3.21 hereof, waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any assumption fees or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for the payment of interest due and unpaid; provided that such arrangement is consistent with the Servicer’s policies with respect to the mortgage loans it owns or services; provided, further, that notwithstanding such arrangement such Mortgage Loans will be included in the monthly information delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.03.

(b)

The Servicer shall establish and maintain a separate trust account (the “Collection Account”) titled “Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of Renaissance HEL Trust 2003-4 Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2003-4”. The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. On the Closing Date and on each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller shall cause to be deposited in the Collection Account any amounts representing payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans received after the related Cut-Off Date (other than principal and interest accrued and due on or prior to December 1, 2003) and prior to the Closing Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable. The Servicer shall deposit within two (2) Business Days, following receipt thereof the following payments and collections received or made by it (without duplication):

(i)

all payments received after the related Cut-Off Date on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of payments in respect of principal on the Mortgage Loans which were due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date) and all Principal Prepayments and Curtailments collected after the related Cut-Off Date;

(ii)

all payments received after the related Cut-Off Date on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of payments in respect of interest on the Mortgage Loans which have accrued and were due on or prior to the related Cut-Off Date);

(iii)

all Net Liquidation Proceeds net of Foreclosure Profits;

(iv)

all Insurance Proceeds other than any portion thereof constituting Net Liquidation Proceeds;

(v)

all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds;

(vi)

any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan and the amount of any Substitution Adjustment pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.05 and 3.16; and

(vii)

any amount required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 5.02 or 5.05; and

(viii)

any Prepayment Charges.

provided, however, that, with respect to each Due Period, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain (x) from payments in respect of interest on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan and (y) from payments from Mortgagors, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds, any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances or unpaid Servicing Fees related thereto. The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer need not deposit in the Collection Account amounts representing Servicing Compensation or amounts received by the Servicer for the accounts of Mortgagors for application toward the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, assessments and similar items.

The Servicer may cause the institution maintaining the Collection Account to invest any funds in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments (including obligations of the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if such obligations otherwise qualify as Eligible Investments) pursuant to Section 5.05.

Section 3.03. Withdrawals from the Collection Account. The Servicer shall withdraw or cause to be withdrawn funds from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(i)

before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Deposit Date to withdraw the Available Funds and Prepayment Charges, and, in each case, remit such funds to the Trustee for deposit to the Distribution Account;

(ii)

to reimburse the Servicer for any accrued unpaid Servicing Compensation which the Servicer would not have been required to deposit in the Collection Account and for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances. The Servicer’s right to reimbursement for unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicing Advances shall be limited to late collections on the related Mortgage Loan, including Liquidation Proceeds, Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the related Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan in respect of which such reimbursed amounts are owed. The Servicer’s right to reimbursement for unreimbursed Monthly Advances shall be limited to late collections on any Mortgage Loan and to Liquidation Proceeds, Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and any purchase or repurchase proceeds on related Mortgage Loans;

(iii)

to withdraw any amount received from a Mortgagor that is recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction;

(iv)

to withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account that were not required to be deposited therein (such as Servicing Compensation) or were deposited therein in error and to pay such funds to the appropriate Person;

(v)

to withdraw funds necessary for the conservation and disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.06 to the extent not advanced by the Servicer;

(vi)

to reimburse the Servicer for Nonrecoverable Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees related to a Mortgage Loan secured by a second lien on the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not recovered pursuant to clause (ii) above;

(vii)

to pay to the Seller collections received in respect of accrued interest and principal on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the related Cut-Off Date;

(viii)

to pay to the Servicer or the Trustee the portion of any Purchase Price in respect of clause (iv) of the definition thereof or of any Substitution Adjustment in respect of clause (d) of the definition thereof to the extent paid in respect of amounts incurred by or imposed on the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be;

(ix)

to reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by it in connection with the Mortgage Loans or Certificates and reimbursable pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof provided that such amount shall only be withdrawn following the withdrawal from the Collection Account for deposit into the Distribution Account pursuant to clause (i) above; and

(x)

to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination of this Agreement and to pay any amounts remaining therein to the applicable Class R Certificateholders.

Section 3.04. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection Expenses. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance naming the Servicer as loss payee thereunder providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan from time to time, (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. The Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value from time to time of the improvements which are a part of such property, (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis at the time of such foreclosure, fire and/or deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued interest and the good-faith estimate of the Servicer of related Servicing Advances to be incurred in connection therewith. Amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called for by Section 3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the related Mortgage Loan shall include flood insurance to the extent such flood insurance is available and the Servicer has determined such insurance to be necessary in accordance with accepted mortgage loan servicing standards for mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. All such flood insurance shall be in amounts equal to the least of (A) the amount in clause (i) above, (B) the amount in clause (ii) above and (C) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall constitute Servicing Advances.

Section 3.05. Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy rating of A:VIII or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide, then, to the extent such policy names the Servicer as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 3.04, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance coverage under Section 3.04, it being understood and agreed that such blanket 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 a policy complying with Section 3.04, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the difference, if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a policy complying with Section 3.04 and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee, a certified true copy of such policy. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Certificateholders, claims under any such policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

Section 3.06. Management and Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale; provided that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.03 hereof. The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, 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) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders.

The Servicer shall cause to be deposited, no later than two (2) Business Days after the receipt thereof, in the Collection Account, all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and shall retain, or cause the Trustee to withdraw therefrom, funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer for cash at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid out of the proceeds of such sale. The cash proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account, net of Foreclosure Profits and of any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Monthly Advances payable to the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.03, for distribution to the Certificateholders in accordance with Section 5.01.

The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to ownership Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default when no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.02 subject to the provisions contained in the last paragraph of this Section 3.06.

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or to its nominee on behalf of Certificateholders.

In the event any Mortgaged Property is acquired as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall (i) dispose of such Mortgaged Property within three (3) years after the close of the taxable year in which the Mortgaged Property was acquired (the “grace period”) or (ii) prior to the expiration of any extension to such grace period which is requested on behalf of the Trust by the Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) more than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the grace period and granted by the Internal Revenue Service, unless the Trust shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to expiration of the grace period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Regular Certificates are outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust and (ii) no construction shall take place on such Mortgaged Property in such a manner or pursuant to any terms, in either case, that would cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust of any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation within the meaning of Sections 860G(c) and 857(b)(4)(B) of the Code. If a period greater than the grace period is permitted under this Agreement and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall give appropriate notice to the Trustee and shall report monthly to the Trustee as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.

If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will notify the Trustee prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property. Nothing in this Section 3.06 shall affect the Servicer’s right to deem certain advances proposed to be made Nonrecoverable Advances. For the purpose of this Section 3.06, actual knowledge of the Servicer means actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer involved in the servicing of the relevant Mortgage Loan. Actual knowledge of the Servicer does not include knowledge imputable by virtue of the availability of or accessibility to information relating to environmental or hazardous waste sites or the locations thereof.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.06 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan that is more than 89 days delinquent as of the Closing Date (hereafter a “Foreclosure Restricted Mortgage Loan”) comes into and continues in default, the Servicer will nevertheless not complete foreclosure upon, accept a deed in-lieu of foreclosure of, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any property securing such Foreclosure Restricted Mortgage Loan (hereafter, “Foreclosure Restricted Property”) if the value of such Foreclosure Restricted Property (measured in all cases as the outstanding principal balance of the Foreclosure Restricted Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest), when added to the value of all other Foreclosure Restricted Property then held as part of the Trust, would exceed ¾ of one percent (0.75%) of the aggregate Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans then held as part of the Trust. Moreover, if, as of the next Distribution Date, the value of all Foreclosure Restricted Property held as part of the Trust will exceed one percent (1%) of the aggregate Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans held as part of the Trust, then prior to such Distribution Date, the Servicer will sell as much Foreclosure Restricted Property as necessary so that as of such Distribution Date, the value of all Foreclosure Restricted Property held as part of the Trust will be less than one percent (1%) of the aggregate Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans held as part of the Trust.

Section 3.07. Trustee to Cooperate. Upon any Principal Prepayment, the Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 3.01(f), if the related Assignment of Mortgage has been recorded as required hereunder, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto. The Servicer is also authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. It is understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. If the Trustee or Custodian is holding the Mortgage Files, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of two (2) copies of a Request for Release, one of which will be returned to the Servicer with the Mortgage File, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit I, signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which originates from a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee or Custodian shall execute such documents, in the forms provided by the Servicer, as shall be necessary for the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other servicing actions. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Trustee or Custodian to the Servicer.

In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any Mortgage Loan that is in default following recordation of the related Assignment of Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall, if so requested in writing by the Servicer, execute an appropriate assignment in the form provided to the Trustee by the Servicer to assign such Mortgage Loan for the purpose of collection to the Servicer (any such assignment shall unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose of collection only) and, upon such assignment, such assignee for collection will thereupon bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of the Mortgage Loan and deposit or credit the Net Liquidation Proceeds, exclusive of Foreclosure Profits, received with respect thereto in the Collection Account. In the event that all delinquent payments due under any such Mortgage Loan are paid by the Mortgagor and any other defaults are cured then the assignee for collection shall promptly reassign such Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and return it to the place where the related Mortgage File was being maintained.

(a)

The Servicer will deliver to the Seller, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, on or before March 15 of each year, beginning with delivery on March 15, 2004, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding fiscal year and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its material obligations under this Agreement throughout such fiscal year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller, the Trustee and each Rating Agency upon any change in the basis on which its fiscal year is determined.

(b)

The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written notice by means of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default.

Section 3.10. Annual Servicing Review. Not later than March 15 of each year, beginning with the letter due March 15, 2004, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a letter or letters to the Seller, the Trustee and each Rating Agency to the effect that such firm has, with respect to the Servicer’s overall servicing operations, examined such operations in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, and stating such firm’s conclusions relating thereto. The Servicer shall disclose to its certified public accountants all significant deficiencies relating to the Servicer's compliance with the minimum servicing standards in accordance with the aforementioned review, and all such disclosed deficiencies, if any, shall be included as part of the letter furnished pursuant to this Section 3.10.

The Servicer shall provide to the Seller, the Trustee, the Custodian, Certificateholders and Certificate Owners which are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the Office of Thrift Supervision access to the documentation in the Servicer’s possession regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC (acting as operator of the SAIF or the BIF), such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.11 shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.11 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.11. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of costs thereof; provided, however, that no such reimbursement shall be required from either the Trustee or the Custodian.

Section 3.12. Maintenance of Certain Servicing Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees or agents.

Section 3.13. Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a)

The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Trustee shall submit to the Depositor for execution any Form 10-K. Upon receipt of any such executed Form 10-K from the Depositor, the Trustee shall cause to be filed (via the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) any such Form 10-K on behalf of the Depositor. The Trustee shall execute and file any Form 8-K (via the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) on behalf of the Depositor and the Depositor accordingly hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file any such Form 8-K on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney, and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust. Each of the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items or reports other than those specified in this Section 3.13.

(b)

Each Form 8-K (except for the initial Form 8-K in connection with the filing of this Agreement, which shall be filed by the Depositor) shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff’s interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.09 and the accountant’s report described under Section 3.10, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include the certification in the form set forth in Section 3.13(c) below (the “Certification”), which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.

(c)

Unless the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issues written guidance or otherwise informs the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer in writing that the approach set forth below is not permissible, the parties agree that the Form 10-K shall include the following certification:

Depositor

(h)

Section 3.14. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Properties, Returns Relating to Mortgage Interest Received from Individuals and Returns Relating to Cancellation of Indebtedness. The Servicer shall make reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property for each year beginning in 2003. The Servicer shall file reports relating to each instance occurring during the previous calendar year in which the Servicer (i) on behalf of the Trust acquires an interest in any Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or other comparable conversion in full or partial satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan or (ii) knows or has reason to know that any Mortgaged Property has been abandoned. The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050J, 6050H and 6050P of the Code.

Section 3.15. Advances by the Servicer.

(a)

Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the Deposit Date related to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount to be distributed on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.01, equal to the Monthly Payment due on each Mortgage Loan during the related Due Period, but not received as of the related Determination Date (net of the Servicing Fee) such amount being defined herein as the “Monthly Advance”. With respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the Servicer will continue to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to one month’s interest on the unpaid principal balance at the applicable Loan Rate (net of the Servicing Fee) according to the original amortization schedule for such Mortgage Loan. The obligation to make Monthly Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall continue until such Mortgage Loan becomes a Liquidated Mortgage Loan.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no Servicing Advance or Monthly Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if the Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance or Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and (ii) no Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required with respect to Civil Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

(c)

All Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, including any Nonrecoverable Advances shall be reimbursed on a first in, first out basis.

(d)

So long as the Servicer is Ocwen Federal Bank FSB or otherwise has long-term debt rated at least investment grade by one of the Rating Agencies, Monthly Advances may be made by the Servicer 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 the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 3.15, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Monthly Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Monthly Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next Deposit Date.

Section 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect (by written notice sent to the Trustee) to purchase for its own account from the Trust any Mortgage Loan which is ninety (90) days or more delinquent in the manner and at the price specified in Section 2.02. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

Section 3.17. Superior Liens. The Servicer shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of any action by a superior lienholder under a First Lien for the protection of the Trustee’s interest, where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder’s equity of redemption.

If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the First Lien, or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and/or to preserve the security of the related Mortgage Loan, subject to the application of the REMIC Provisions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such action or circumstances. The Servicer shall advance the necessary funds to cure the default or reinstate the superior lien, if such advance is in the best interests of the Certificateholders in accordance with the servicing standards in Section 3.01. The Servicer shall not make such an advance except to the extent that it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the advance would be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan and in no event in an amount that is greater than the Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover the amount so advanced.

Section 3.18. Assumption Agreements. When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause contained in the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the “due-on-sale” clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person shall become liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Mortgagor shall remain liable thereon. The Servicer, in accordance with accepted mortgage loan servicing standards for mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans, is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability whereby such person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement which original shall be added by the Trustee 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. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18, the Servicer shall not change the Loan Rate or the Monthly Payment, defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal amount or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan.

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 any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

Section 3.19. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting fire and hazard insurance coverage.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer maintains escrow accounts, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage guaranty insurance premiums, if any, and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in any escrow account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for escrow payments, the Servicer shall, if it has received notice of a default or deficiency, monitor such payments to determine if they are made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall maintain a third-party (which may be an Affiliate of the Servicer) tax monitoring service.

Section 3.20. Advance Facility.

(a)

The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter in to a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”) under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges to another Person (an “Advancing Person”) the Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility; provided, however, that the consent of the Trustee shall be required before the Servicer may cause to be outstanding at one time more than one Advance Facility with respect to Monthly Advances or more than one Advance Facility with respect to Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer’s behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and if the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.02(b), Section 3.03(ii) or Section 3.03(vi) of this Agreement, but instead the Servicer shall be required to include amounts collected that would otherwise be retained by the Servicer to reimburse it for previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances (“Monthly Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) and/or previously unreimbursed Servicing Advances (“Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts” and together with Monthly Advance Reimbursement Amounts, “Servicer Reimbursement Amounts”) (in each case to the extent such type of Servicer Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility), in the remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.03(i) of this Agreement, to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the related Deposit Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Monthly Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in “Available Funds” or distributed to Certificateholders. If the Servicer makes a remittance to the Trustee of Servicer Reimbursement Amounts under Section 3.03(i) as described above, the Servicer shall report to the Trustee the portions of such remittance that consist of Available Funds, Monthly Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts, respectively.

(b)

If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice and payment instruction (an “Advance Facility Notice”), providing the Trustee with written payment instructions as to where to remit Monthly Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type of Servicer Reimbursement Amount is included within the Advance Facility) on subsequent Distribution Dates. The payment instruction shall require the applicable Servicer Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to a trustee or custodian (an “Advance Facility Trustee”) designated in the Advance Facility Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advancing Person (and any related Advance Facility Trustee); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 3.20 shall cease to be applicable when all Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances funded by an Advancing Person, and when all Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances the rights to be reimbursed for which have been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person, have been repaid to the related Advancing Person in full.

(c)

Servicer Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Monthly 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 Section 3.03(ii) or Section 3.03(vi) hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related Monthly Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.15. The Trustee shall not have any duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Servicer Reimbursement Amount and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on the Servicer’s report of the amount of Monthly Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance from the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03(i). The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any Successor Servicer 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. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation or payment of any Servicer Reimbursement Amount, and neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the administration of such Advance Facility or the payment of Servicer Reimbursement Amounts to an Advancing Person.

(d)

An Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the rights to be reimbursed for Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a Sub-Servicer set forth in Section 3.01 hereof.

(e)

The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require that Servicer Reimbursement Amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) basis. Such documentation shall also require the Servicer to provide to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan-by-loan information with respect to each Servicer Reimbursement Amount distributed by the Trustee to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each Distribution Date, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each Servicer 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 Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.

(f)

The Servicer who enters into an Advance Facility shall indemnify the Trustee, the Trust and any successor resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Successor Servicer, or failure by the Successor Servicer or the Trustee to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to act by the Successor Servicer or the Trustee, and the passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that an Event of Default under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause under this Agreement.

(g)

Any amendment to this Section 3.20 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 3.20, including amendments to add provisions relating to a Successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided that such Amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advancing Person under any Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay any Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advancing Person; (ii) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the Advancing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advancing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and (iii) the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advancing Person.

Section 3.21. Covenants of the Servicer and Representations of the Seller Regarding Prepayment Charges. (a) The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge or part of a Prepayment Charge unless (i) such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage Loan and doing so is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default) and in no event will it waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, or (ii) the collection of the Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws or regulations.

(b)

The Seller hereby represents that the information set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule (including the prepayment charge summary attached thereto) is complete, true and correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is furnished and each Prepayment Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally) under applicable state law.

(c)

Upon discovery by the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a breach of the foregoing, which materially and adversely affects the Holders of the Class P Certificates, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Within 60 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer, the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, or receipt of notice by the Servicer, the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, of such breach, the Servicer (with respect to clause (a) above) or the Seller (on behalf of itself and the Depositor) (with respect to clause (b) above), as applicable, shall cure such breach in all material respects. If the covenant made by the Servicer in clause (a) above is breached the Servicer must pay into the Collection Account the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge (less any amount previously collected and paid by the Servicer 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 Prepayment Charge Schedule in effect at such time). If the representation made by the Seller in clause (b) above is breached, the Seller must pay to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount previously collected and paid by the Servicer into the Collection Account.

The Trustee’s internet website shall initially be located at “www.ctslink.com”. Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Trustee’s customer service desk at (301) 815 6600. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution options are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and indicating such. The Trustee shall have the right to change the way Remittance Reports are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes. As a condition to access the Trustee’s internet website, the Trustee may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer.

(b)

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate, if requested in writing by such Person, such information as is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (iii) and (iv) above, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be prepared and furnished by the Trustee to Certificateholders pursuant to any requirements of the Code as are in force from time to time.

(c)

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make available to the Class R Certificateholders in the same manner as the Remittance Report is made available to all Certificateholders a copy of the reports forwarded to the Holders of the Regular Certificates in respect of such Distribution Date and a statement setting forth the amounts actually distributed to the Class R Certificateholders on such Distribution Date together with such other information as the Trustee deems necessary or appropriate.

Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be prepared by the Tax Matters Persons and furnished to Certificateholders by the Trustee or Tax Matters Person pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in force.

(e)

The Servicer and the Trustee shall furnish to the Depositor, the Seller and each Certificateholder (if requested in writing), during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with respect to the Certificateholder or otherwise with respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports or information to be provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions (if requested in writing) as the Certificateholder may reasonably require; provided that the Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Certificateholder for their respective fees and actual expenses associated with providing such reports, if such reports are not generally produced in the ordinary course of their respective businesses or readily obtainable.

(f)

Reports and computer diskettes or files furnished by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed confidential and of a proprietary nature, and shall not be copied or distributed except to the extent required by law or to the Rating Agencies. No Person entitled to receive copies of such reports or diskettes or files or lists of Certificateholders shall use the information therein for the purpose of soliciting the customers of the Seller or for any other purpose except as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5.04. Distribution Account. The Trustee shall establish with itself, a separate account (the “Distribution Account”) titled “Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of Renaissance HEL Trust 2003-4 Asset Backed-Certificates, Series 2003-4.” The Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Trustee shall deposit any amounts representing payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans received by it immediately following receipt thereof, including, without limitation, all amounts withdrawn by the Servicer from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03 for deposit to the Distribution Account. Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account may be invested in Eligible Investments pursuant to Section 5.05.

Section 5.05. Investment of Accounts.

(a)

Consistent with any requirements of the Code, all or a portion of any Account held by the Trustee shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer (in the case of the Distribution Account), but only for the period from the date of deposit of funds therein to the Deposit Date after which time frame the Trustee may direct any investments in the Distribution Account, or the Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Seller (in the case of any other Account) (the applicable Person, the “Directing Party”), in one or more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount. If the applicable Directing Party does not provide investment directions, or if the Directing Party is the Servicer and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall invest all Accounts in Eligible Investments described in paragraph (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments. No such investment in any Account shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date (except that for any such Account other than the Distribution Account (i) if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Trustee or a money market fund for which the Trustee or any Affiliate is the manager or the advisor, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date and (ii) any other date may be approved by the Rating Agencies).

(b)

If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held by the Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such disbursement, the Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account. The Trustee shall not be liable for any investment loss or other charge resulting therefrom unless the Trustee’s failure to perform in accordance with this Section 5.05 is the cause of such loss or charge.

(c)

Subject to Section 9.01, the Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon or as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.05).

(d)

The Trustee shall invest and reinvest funds in the Accounts held by the Trustee, to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as the applicable Directing Party shall from time to time direct as set forth in Section 5.05(a), but only in one or more Eligible Investments.

(e)

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as Servicing Compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee), and shall be subject to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such income or gain is received. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Eligible Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon immediately upon realization of such loss, without any right to reimbursement therefore from its own funds.

(f)

All net income and gain realized from investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of (x) the Servicer for the period from the date of deposit to the Deposit Date, as Servicing Compensation in addition to the Servicing Fee and (y) the Trustee for the period from the Deposit Date to the Distribution Date, as compensation (in addition to the Trustee Fee). Any such income shall be subject to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such income or gain is received. The Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Eligible Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon payable to the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, immediately upon the realization of such loss, without any right to reimbursement therefor from its own funds.

Section 5.06. Allocation of Losses. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the total of the Applied Realized Loss Amounts for such Distribution Date. The Applied Realized Loss Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied by reducing the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Subordinate Certificates beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the lowest relative payment priority, in each case until the respective Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero. Any Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated to a Class of Subordinate Certificates shall be allocated among the Subordinate Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

Section 5.07. The Interest Rate Cap Agreements. (a) The Interest Rate Cap Agreements will be an asset of the Trust but will not be an asset of any REMIC and any amounts received thereon shall be taxable to the Class BIO Certificateholder. The Trustee shall treat the Interest Rate Cap Agreements as having a nominal (zero) value for the Holders of the Offered Certificates.

(b)

The Trustee shall deposit any amounts received with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreements on an Interest Rate Cap Payment Date into the Net Rate Cap Fund. If, however, on any Distribution Date the sum of the notional amounts of the Interest Rate Cap Agreements exceeds the aggregate balance of the Offered Certificates, then solely for purposes of computing the amount that the Trustee shall deposit into the Net Rate Cap Fund, the Trustee shall reduce the related notional amount set forth in each Interest Rate Cap Agreement (first for the Class A-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, second for the Class A-2 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, third for the Class A-3 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, fourth for the Class M-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, fifth for the Class M-2A Interest Rate Cap Agreement, sixth for the Class M-3 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, seventh for the Class M-4 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, eighth for the Class M-5 Interest Rate Cap Agreement and ninth for the Class M-6 Interest Rate Cap Agreement) by the amount of such excess, and the Trustee shall remit any excess amounts in the Net Rate Cap Fund directly to the holder of the Class BIO Certificates.

(c)

The Trustee shall terminate the Cap Provider upon the occurrence of an event of default or termination event under an Interest Rate Cap Agreement of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge. In the event that an Interest Rate Cap Agreement is canceled or otherwise terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of the interest rate protection provided thereby), the Trustee shall, at the direction of Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Offered Certificates, and to the extent a replacement contract is available (from a counterparty designated by the Depositor and acceptable to Certificateholders evidencing Voting Rights not less than 50% of the Offered Certificates), execute a replacement contract comparable to such Interest Rate Cap Agreement providing interest rate protection which is equal to the then-existing protection provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; provided, however, that the cost of any such replacement contract providing the same interest rate protection may be reduced to a level such that the cost of such replacement contract shall not exceed the amount of any early termination payment received from the Cap Provider.

(d)

On any Distribution Date prior to the Interest Rate Cap Termination Date, if the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Offered Certificates equals zero (but not including the Distribution Date on which such aggregate Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero), all amounts received by the Trustee with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall be distributed directly to the Class BIO Certificateholder.

(e)

Prior to the Interest Rate Cap Termination Date and upon the termination of the Trust, the Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall be assigned to the Class BIO Certificateholder.

Section 5.08. Net Rate Cap Fund.

(a)

On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Offered Certificates (other than the Class S Certificates), the Net Rate Cap Fund and deposit therein the amount of $5,000 paid to the Trustee by the Depositor therefor. The Net Rate Cap Fund 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 held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The Net Rate Cap Fund shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under applicable Treasury regulations and will not be part of any REMIC. Any investment earnings on the Net Rate Cap Fund will be treated as owned by the Class BIO Certificateholder and will be taxable to the Class BIO Certificateholder. Distributions made or deemed deposited to any outside reserve fund under this Agreement shall be treated as made to the owner of such fund. The Trustee shall treat the Net Rate Cap Fund as having a nominal (zero) value for the Holders of the Offered Certificates.

(b)

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit amounts, if any, (i) received from the Cap Provider under the Interest Rate Cap Agreements into the Net Rate Cap Fund and (ii), if necessary and to the extent available, from the Distribution Account to the Net Rate Cap Fund pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(18). The amount required to be deposited into the Net Rate Cap Fund from the Distribution Account on any Distribution Date (the “Net Rate Cap Fund Deposit”) will equal the lesser of (i) amounts remaining after distributions pursuant to clauses (1) through (17) of Section 5.01(a) and (ii) (x) any Net Rate Cap Carryover for such Distribution Date less (y) any amounts received by the Trustee pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement for such Distribution Date, or, if no Net Rate Cap Carryover is payable on such Distribution Date (or if the amount received from the Cap Provider for such Distribution Date exceeds all amounts of Net Rate Cap Carryover), an amount such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the Net Rate Cap Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein will at all times be equal to $5,000.

(c)

The Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Net Rate Cap Fund to make distributions pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(19) hereof as follows:

(i)

first, to the Class A-1 Certificates, from payments made under the Class A-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Net Rate Cap Carryover for the Class A-1 Certificates;

(d)

Funds in the Net Rate Cap Fund may be invested in Eligible Investments. Any earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the Class BIO Certificates. The Class BIO Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Net Rate Cap Fund for federal tax purposes and shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of amounts therein.

(e)

Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Net Rate Cap Fund shall be distributed to the Certificateholders of the Class BIO Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(20) hereof.

ARTICLE VI

The Certificates

Section 6.01. The Certificates. Each of the Offered Certificates, the Class P Certificates, the Class BIO Certificates, and the Residual Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits A and B respectively, and shall, on original issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Seller concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust. Each Class of Offered Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more certificates representing a fraction of the applicable Original Class Principal Balance, and shall be held in minimum dollar denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, except that one of each Class of the Offered Certificate may be in a different denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Offered Certificates shall equal the aggregate Original Class Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable. The Residual Certificates (other than the Tax Matters Person Residual Interests), the Class P Certificates and Class BIO Certificates shall each be held in minimum Percentage Interests of 20%.

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Subject to Section 6.02(c), the Offered Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The Class BIO Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates.

Section 6.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, and, in the case of a Residual Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and 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 (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and be duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(b)

Except as provided in paragraph (c) 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 such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee 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 Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such 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 Trustee shall deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee 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 Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c)

If (i)(x) the Depository or the Seller advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Seller, at its sole option elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Certificate Owners of each Class of Offered Certificates representing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% advises the Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) issued to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of each Class of Offered Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall at the Seller’s expense, execute, authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Seller nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent, the Depositor and the Seller shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(d)

Except with respect to the initial transfer of the Class BIO Certificates and the Class P Certificates to the NIMs Trust, and of the Residual Certificates to the Seller, respectively, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class BIO Certificates, Class P Certificates or any Residual Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws. In the event of any such transfer, other than the transfer of the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest to the Trustee in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Seller shall require either (i) a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, Depositor and the Seller that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor from the 1933 Act, or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Seller or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit M) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 or N-2) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Seller, Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Seller. The Holder of a Class P Certificate, Class BIO Certificate or a Residual Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Seller against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1 or Exhibit N-2, as appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person acting for, on behalf or with the assets of, any such plan or arrangement (“Benefit Plan Investor”), which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust or (ii) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificate 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 Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the representations required by clauses (i) or (ii) above with respect to any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have been made by the Certificate Owner by virtue of such acquisition; and any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Benefit Plan Investor pursuant to clause (iii) above without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.

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 to have irrevocably appointed the Seller or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, 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 Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(ii)

No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

(iii)

In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

(A)

an affidavit in the form of Exhibit G from the proposed transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

(B)

a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Residual Certificates.

(iv)

Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 6.02, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02 or for making any distributions due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement so long as the Trustee received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(v)

If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02, then the Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Seller to arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Seller or its Affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section 6.02 or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi)

If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02, then the Trustee, based on information provided to the Trustee by the Seller will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.02(d) shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 6.02 will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

Each Tax Matters Person Residual Interest shall at all times be registered in the name of the Tax Matters Person.

(e)

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificates.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

Section 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 6.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.

(a)

The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.01 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03 and for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at all times be a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee. The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Seller.

(b)

The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of Federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

ARTICLE VII

The Seller, The Depositor and The Servicer

Section 7.01. Liability of the Seller and the Servicer. The Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Seller or Servicer, as the case may be, herein.

Section 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer. Any corporation into which the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the Successor Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 8.02 with respect to the qualifications of a Successor Servicer.

Section 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and Others. None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or 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 Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, 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 or results from a breach of representation by the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties hereunder and that in its opinion, may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust. The Servicer’s right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04 or 8.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).

Section 7.04. Servicer Not to Resign; Pledge of Servicing Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon the proposal by the Servicer or the Servicing Rights Owner of an Approved Servicer to the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee in writing; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Successor Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 8.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the Closing Date, the Servicer or the Servicing Rights Owner may pledge and assign all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to one or more lenders (“Servicing Rights Pledgees”) selected by the Servicer or the Servicing Rights Owner. Provided that no Event of Default exists, the Trustee, the Seller and the Depositor agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by a Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereunder the Servicer resigns as servicer under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.04, the Trustee shall appoint such Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee as Successor Servicer, provided that at the time of such appointment, such Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee is an Approved Servicer and that such Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 7.05. Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 7.04. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Servicer’s Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.06. Indemnification of the Trust by the Servicer.

(a)

The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and the Trustee from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its activities in servicing or administering the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim related to the Servicer’s misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. Any such indemnification shall not be payable from the assets of the Trust. The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)

If the Servicer fails to make when due (without regard to any cure period) any Monthly Advance or deposit required by it hereunder, the Servicer shall pay the Trustee for the account of the Trustee interest at the prime rate from the date on which such payment was due (without regard to any cure period) to and including the date on which the Servicer makes such payment.

(ii)

(A)

The failure by the Servicer to make any required Servicing Advance which failure continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days, or (B) the failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days, after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the Servicer and the Trustee, by any Holder with Certificates evidencing Voting Interests of at least 25%; provided, however, that in the case of a failure that cannot be cured within sixty (60) days, the cure period may be extended if the Servicer can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee that the Servicer is diligently pursuing remedial action;

(iii)

The filing of a petition against the Servicer in a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days; or

(iv)

The Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling 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 a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(v)

the Servicer Termination Test is failed;

(b)

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, (x) with respect solely to clause (a)(i)(A) above, upon receipt of written notice or discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of such failure, the Trustee shall give immediate telephonic notice of such failure to a Servicing Officer of the Servicer and the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Successor Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 8.02 shall immediately make such Monthly Advance prior to the distribution of funds on the related Distribution Date and assume, pursuant to Section 8.02, the duties of a Successor Servicer and (y) in the case of clause (a)(i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) above, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Holders of Offered Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of all of the Voting Rights by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of Certificates), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency and the Seller. On or after receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 8.01; and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer 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 of each Mortgage Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor Servicer and the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, or that have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter received by the predecessor Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. All Servicing Transfer Costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the Successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer or, to the extent not paid by the predecessor Servicer, by the Trust pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(21) (or, if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, by the initial Servicer), upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Servicer is required but fails to pay the amounts specified in the preceding sentence and such amounts are paid by the Trust, the Trustee shall, at the direction and expense of the Class BIO Certificateholders, take appropriate action to enforce such obligation and recover such amounts on behalf of such Class BIO Certificateholders.

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive from the Trust, payment of all the accrued and unpaid portion of the Servicing Fees to which the Servicer would have been entitled and reimbursement for all outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, including but not limited to trailing expenses representing Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer prior to but invoiced after the date of termination, which amount shall be remitted by the Successor Servicer to the terminated Servicer as permitted under Section 3.03 on a first-in, first-out basis. The Servicer shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03, notwithstanding any termination hereunder, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination.

(c)

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Servicer shall act as Servicer under this Agreement, subject to the right of removal set forth in subsection (b) hereof, for an initial period commencing on the date on which such Event of Default occurred and ending on the last day of the calendar quarter in which such Event of Default occurred, which period shall be extended by the Trustee (an “Extension Notice”) for a succeeding quarterly period ending on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 of each year (each such quarterly period for which the Servicer shall be designated to act as Servicer hereunder, a “Term of Service”) until such time as the Trustee receives written direction from the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights not to deliver an Extension Notice, in which event the Trustee shall follow such direction; provided that nothing in this clause (c) shall prohibit the Trustee from removing (or prohibit Certificateholders from directing the Trustee to remove) the Servicer pursuant to clause (b) above. In the event the Trustee fails to deliver an Extension Notice prior to the end of any Term of Service, the Servicer shall be automatically terminated.

(d)

If the Successor Servicer or another Person succeeds to the obligations of Servicer hereunder, the term of the Successor Servicer or such Person shall not be limited unless and until an Event of Default thereafter occurs with respect to such Successor Servicer or other Person. At such time, the provisions of Section 8.01 (c) and (d) shall become applicable to the then-acting Servicer and the Person then-obligated to succeed such then-acting Servicer.

Section 8.02. Appointment of Successor.

(a)

The Depositor and the Trustee hereby appoint, and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, hereby accepts appointment, on behalf of itself or an affiliate, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04 hereof, upon receipt by the Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or upon resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04(i), to be the successor (the “Successor Servicer”) in all respects 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 arising on and after its succession; provided, however, that, without affecting the immediate termination of the rights of the Servicer hereunder, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition not to exceed 90 days (the “Transition Period”) before the servicing transfer is fully effected.

During the Transition Period, neither the Successor Servicer nor the Trustee shall be responsible for the lack of information and documents that it cannot reasonably obtain on a practicable basis under the circumstances.

As compensation therefor, the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, if the Successor Servicer is unwilling or legally unable to act as successor servicer, the Trustee may appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer that is an Approved Servicer 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; provided that the appointment of any such Successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Offered Certificates by the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Successor Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting, the Successor Servicer shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on the Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.08 (or such lesser compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree). The appointment of a Successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.05 or to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, nor shall any Successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility or obligation (i) to repurchase or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans or (ii) for any acts or omissions of a predecessor Servicer during the Transition Period. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default listed in clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8.01(a) occurs, the Servicer or the Servicing Rights Owner shall have a period of up to twenty (20) days after receipt of a notice of termination to appoint an Approved Servicer as Successor Servicer. Such right shall terminate immediately if prior to the actual transfer of servicing, such terminated Servicer fails to make any required Monthly Advance, Servicing Advance or any other deposit required to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as and when required by this Agreement (taking into account any applicable cure period). All costs and expenses associated with the appointment, whether or not consummated, and the subsequent transfer of servicing (which must be completed within the Transition Period) are required to be paid by the terminated Servicer or the Servicing Rights Owner out of the proceeds of sale or otherwise. Any proceeds remaining after such costs and expenses have been paid for by the terminated Servicer, shall be the property of the terminated Servicer, the Servicing Rights Owner or its designee, as applicable.

(b)

Any successor, including the Successor Servicer, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer (i) continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders and (ii) maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.

(c)

In connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either (i) the Successor Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as Successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer, at its sole expense, shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the Successor Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Successor Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan (at the cost and expense of the Successor Servicer to the extent such costs relate to the qualification of such Successor Servicer as a member of MERS, otherwise at the cost and expense of the predecessor Servicer). The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The Successor Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.

Section 8.03. Waiver of Defaults. The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, provided, however, that the Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies.

Section 8.04. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII or Section 7.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, and to each Rating Agency.

ARTICLE IX

The Trustee

Section 9.01. Duties of Trustee.

(a)

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to be in the form specified in this Agreement, on its face, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will, at the expense of the Seller, provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and will, at the expense of the Seller, which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take such further action as directed by the Majority Certificateholders.

The Trustee may, in accordance with its duties hereunder, do all things necessary and proper as may be required in connection with any secondary mortgage licensing laws and similar requirements, including, but not limited to, consenting to jurisdiction, and the appointment of agents for service of process, in jurisdictions in which the Mortgaged Properties are located.

No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i)

prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)

the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts related thereto;

(iii)

the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the consent or direction of the Holders of Offered Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and

(iv)

the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (a)(i) and (ii) of Section 8.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer or the Holders of Offered Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%. This paragraph shall not be construed to limit the effect of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01.

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer upon receipt any such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; (ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property.

Section 9.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:

(i)

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 reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(ii)

the Trustee may consult with counsel and any written advice of such counsel or 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;

(iii)

the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

(iv)

the Trustee shall not be personally 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;

(v)

prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Seller or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Seller upon demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;

(vi)

the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may act as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02;

(vii)

the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian; and

(viii)

the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance or failure to perform of such act.

Section 9.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Seller, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the MERS System. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application of any funds by the Servicer or paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); the compliance by the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02), any Subservicer or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02) or any Subservicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Servicer or any Subservicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee’s duty to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02. Until such time as the Trustee shall have become the Successor Servicer, the Trustee shall have no responsibility to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.

Section 9.04. 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 Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with the Seller or the Servicer.

Section 9.05. Trustee Fees and Expenses. The Trustee will be paid the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other amounts as agreed with the Seller. The Seller will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of Certificateholders hereunder. In addition, the Seller covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents from, and hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. To the extent that amounts payable to the Trustee under this Section 9.05, other than the Trustee Fee, are not paid by the Seller, such amounts shall be payable to the Trustee by the Trust pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(21). This Section 9.05 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder.

Section 9.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term debt rating of “Baa3” by Moody’s and a short-term rating of “A-1” by S&P, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities or is otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency without a reduction or withdrawal of their then current ratings of the Certificates as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer. If such corporation 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 9.06, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.07.

Section 9.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Seller shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee (approved in writing by the Servicer, so long as such approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and the Successor Trustee; provided, however, that any such successor Trustee shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Servicer. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of 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 the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Seller or the Depositor or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a 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, then the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer may remove the Trustee. If the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Seller shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor Trustee.

The Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating over 50% of all Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee; and the Seller shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor trustee in accordance with this Section 9.07.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 9.08.

Section 9.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller, the Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for 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 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06.

If a successor Trustee is to become the Successor Servicer hereunder, it shall be an Approved Servicer. If a successor Trustee is not to become the Successor Servicer hereunder, the entity then acting as Successor Servicer hereunder shall continue to act in such capacity until such time as an Approved Servicer has agreed to assume the role of Successor Servicer hereunder.

Upon acceptance by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 9.08, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within thirty (30) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

Section 9.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 9.10. 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 or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, 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 9.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 9.08. The Seller shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.

Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)

all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii)

no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii)

the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee except that following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee alone may accept the resignation or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Seller and the Servicer.

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 9.11. Limitation of Liability. The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.

Section 9.12. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates; Inspection.

(a)

All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders or in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

(b)

The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and any requesting Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and such Certificateholder for review and copying such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 9.13. Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default or other default by the Servicer or the Seller hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

Section 9.14. Appointment of Custodians. The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer (such consent to be evidenced by their execution of a Custodial Agreement), appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state authorities, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term debt rating of “Baa3” and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Custodian and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee of the later of (x) the distribution to Certificateholders of the final payment or collection with respect to the last Mortgage Loan (or Monthly Advances of same by the Servicer) and (y) the disposition of all funds with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement and the payment of all amounts due and payable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last surviving descendant of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

The Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement (such right is referred to as the “Clean-Up Call”) on any Distribution Date on or after the Optional Termination Date, by purchasing, on such Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the sum of (w) 100% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans plus (x) the lesser of (A) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Servicer and at the Servicer’s expense and (B) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan related to such REO Property plus (y) in each case, the greater of (i) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loans through the related Due Period and (ii) thirty (30) days’ accrued interest thereon at a rate equal to the Loan Rate, in each case net of the Servicing Fee (the “Termination Price”); provided, however, that the Servicer hereby covenants and agrees not to exercise the Clean-Up Call on any Distribution Date unless the Termination Price is sufficient to provide the NIMs Trust (in its capacity as the Holder of the Class P and Class BIO Certificates) with a sufficient amount in cash to redeem in full all of the NIMs Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon).

In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03), which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.

Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on the Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price.

(b)

Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final distribution and (iii) 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 or agency of the Trustee therein specified.

(c)

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Certificates and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.01 for such Distribution Date.

(d)

In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Certificateholders and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) 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 one (1) year after the second notice all the Offered Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such escrow account.

Section 10.02. Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)

In the event that the Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Servicer without reimbursement from the Trust, to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.02 will not (1) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (2) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Regular Certificates are outstanding:

(i)

Within ninety (90) days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Servicer shall adopt and the Trustee shall sign a plan of complete liquidation for each REMIC meeting the requirements of a “Qualified Liquidation” under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder;

(ii)

At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Servicer for cash; and

(iii)

At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited (A) to the Trustee, as holder of the REMIC IV Regular Interests, the REMIC III Regular Interests and the REMIC II Regular Interests, the unpaid principal balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon, (B) to each Class of Certificates the amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01, (C) to the Residual Certificateholders all cash on hand in the related REMIC after such payments and (D) if prior to the Interest Rate Cap Termination Date, to the Class BIO Certificateholder, the Interest Rate Cap Agreements and the rights to all payments subsequently received thereunder, together with all required documentation to effect such assignment.

(b)

By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a plan of complete liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate and (ii) to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such plan of complete liquidation, all in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c)

The costs of such plan of liquidation shall be paid for by the Servicer without any right of reimbursement from the Trust.
