WITNESSETH THAT:

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee agree as follows:

WHEREAS, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee have previously entered into the Trust Agreement dated March 17, 2006 (the “Short Form Trust Agreement”).

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the terms of and restate the Trust Agreement.

WHEREAS, the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor (on behalf of the Seller) to the Trust hereunder is intended to facilitate the simultaneous issuance of the Notes under the Indenture and issuance of the Certificates hereunder to the Seller as Holder, and the Depositor (on behalf of the Seller) has no present intention of selling any of the Certificates. Accordingly, at the time of the transaction set forth herein, the Seller will retain without interruption, through the ownership of the Certificates, the economic benefits associated with ownership of the Mortgage Loans as well as the economic burdens associated with such ownership, subject to the lien of the Indenture and subject to this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Depositor’s sole purpose hereunder is to transfer the Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2006, by and among the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (“CHL”), to GSC Capital Corp. Mortgage Trust 2006-1 for issuance of the GSC Capital Corp. Mortgage Trust 2006-1, Mortgage-Backed Notes and Certificates, Series 2006-1.

Section 2.06. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it shall hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents.

It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Trust (A) shall, as of the Closing Date and for so long as any Notes are outstanding be treated for federal income tax purposes as a qualified REIT subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code, and thereafter be disregarded as a separate entity (and if at any other time the Trust Certificates are held by more than one person for federal income tax purposes, shall be treated as a partnership), and (B) that each Class of Offered Notes shall be debt, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted to further this intention. Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, the rights of the Certificateholder will be those of equity owners of the Trust. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust.

Section 2.07. Liability of the Holders of the Certificates.

The Holders of the Certificates shall be liable for and shall promptly pay any entity level taxes imposed on the Trust. In addition, any third party creditors of the Trust (other than in connection with the obligations described in the second preceding sentence for which the Holders of the Certificates shall not be liable) shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of this paragraph. The obligations of the Holders of the Certificates under this paragraph shall be evidenced by the Certificates.

Section 2.08. Title to Trust Property. Except with respect to the Mortgage Loans, which will be assigned of record to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, legal title to the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

Section 2.09. Situs of Trust. The Trust will be located and administered in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware. The Trust shall not have any employees in any state other than Delaware; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without the State of Delaware or taking actions outside the State of Delaware in order to comply with Section 2.03. Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware, New York or California, and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware, New York or California. The only office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in Delaware.

Section 2.10. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that:

(i) The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted.

(ii) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications and in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or other) of the Depositor.

(iii) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Trust Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to convey and assign the property to be conveyed and assigned to and deposited with the Trust as part of the Trust Estate and the Depositor has duly authorized such conveyance and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Trust Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary corporate action.

(iv) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of

any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties.

(v) The Trust is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and is not under the control of a Person required to so register.

Section 2.11. Payment of Trust Fees. The Owner Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof, and the Owner Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Depositor or the Master Servicer for its reasonable expenses hereunder and under the Basic Documents, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may reasonably employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder and under the Basic Documents. The amount of the Owner Trustee’s Fee shall be paid as provided in Section 6.07 of the Indenture.

Section 2.12. Investment Company. Neither the Depositor nor any Holder of a Certificate shall take any action which would cause the Trust to become an “investment company” which would be required to register under the Investment Company Act.

Section 2.13. Transfer of Trust Estate to Owner Trustee. (a) Effective as of the date hereof, the Depositor assigns, transfers, and otherwise conveys to, and deposits with, the Trust, until this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 8.01, the entire Trust Estate, such conveyance to be made in exchange for the Notes and the Certificates. Such assignment includes, without limitation, all amounts payable to and all rights of the holder of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

The conveyance of the Collateral and all other assets constituting the Trust Estate by the Depositor as contemplated hereby is absolute and is intended by the parties to constitute a sale of the Collateral and all other assets constituting the Trust Estate by the Depositor to the Trust. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor also intends and agrees that, in such event:

(i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and shall be deemed to create valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Trust Estate (including, without limitation, the Collateral, the Certificate Distribution Account and any proceeds thereof) in favor of the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor;

(ii) other than the security interest granted to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement, Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Trust Estate, has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Trust Estate that includes a description of collateral covering the Trust Estate other than any financing statements relating to the security interest granted to the Trust hereunder or that has been terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against Depositor;

(iii) the Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Trust Estate free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person;

(iv) the Certificate Distribution Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Depositor has directed the Certificate Paying Agent to become the account holder of the Certificate Distribution Account. The Certificate Distribution Account is not in the name of any Person other than as provided in Section 3.10 of this Agreement. The Depositor has not consented to the maintenance of the Certificate Distribution Account in compliance with instructions of any Person other than the Certificate Paying Agent;

(v) the Trust Estate (excluding the Mortgage Loans, REO Property, the Certificate Distribution Account and any proceeds thereof) constitutes “general intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC). The Depositor has received all required consents and approvals to the pledge of the portions of the Trust Estate (excluding the Certificate Distribution Account and any proceeds thereof) constituting payment intangibles;

(vi) the Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the appropriate filing offices under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Trust Estate granted to the Trust hereunder. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Trust (or any subsequent assignee, including, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee) in connection herewith describing the Trust Estate contain a statement to the following effect, “A purchase of, or security interest in, any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the secured party;” and

(vii) the Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such additional reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other assets of the Trust Estate, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the life of this Agreement. Notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust (or any subsequent assignee, including, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee) for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

(b) The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges the receipt by it of the Trust Estate and such other documents and instruments referenced above, and declares that it holds and will hold the Trust Estate and such documents and instruments and that it holds and will hold all other assets and documents to be included in the Trust Estate, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 8.01, neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall be able to revoke the Trust established hereunder. Except as provided in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 5.01 and 8.01 hereof, the Owner Trustee or Certificate Paying Agent (as applicable) shall not assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in, nor may the Depositor or any Certificateholder withdraw from the Trust, the Collateral or other asset constituting the Trust Estate.

ARTICLE III

Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans; Certificates

Section 3.01. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, contributes, transfers, conveys and assigns to the Trust, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes and the Certificates, without recourse, all its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date). In the event of a TMP Trigger Event, the assets of the Owner Trust Estate will be comprised of REMIC regular interests. In addition, the Depositor hereby assigns to the Trust all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor (on behalf of the Seller) to the Trust under this Agreement is intended to facilitate the simultaneous issuance of the Notes under the Indenture and issuance of the Certificates hereunder to the Seller as Holder, and the Depositor has no present intention of selling any of the Certificates.

Section 3.02. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05, and until the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.01 and the issuance of the Certificates, and thereafter except as otherwise permitted hereunder, the Seller shall be the sole Certificateholder.

Section 3.03. The Certificates. The Trust Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more Trust Certificates, each representing not less than a 10% Certificate Percentage Interest. The Trust Certificates shall initially be registered in the name of GSC Capital Corp. QRS Delaware Real Estate Holdings, Inc. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated in the manner provided in Section 3.04. The Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall 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 authentication and delivery of such Certificates. A Person shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such Person’s acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such Person’s name, pursuant to Section 3.05.

A transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.05.

Section 3.04. Authentication of Certificates. The Owner Trustee shall cause all Certificates issued hereunder to be executed and authenticated on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman

of the board, its president or any vice president, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Trust Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Section 3.05. Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, 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 Bank of New York shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. If the Certificate Registrar resigns or is removed, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor Certificate Registrar.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below with respect to the Certificate, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar. At the option of a Holder, the Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.09.

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or 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.

No Person shall become a Certificateholder until it shall establish its non-foreign status by submitting to the Certificate Paying Agent an IRS Form W-9 and the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status set forth in Exhibit D.

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall prior to such transfer require the transferee to execute (A) either (i) (a) an investment letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (or in such form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor) which investment letter shall not be an

expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicers or the Depositor and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (1) is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts of other “qualified institutional buyers” as defined under Rule 144A, and (2) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A or (ii) (a) a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer or the Depositor and (b) the transferee executes a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the Agreement, and the transferor executes a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, certifying the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer or the Depositor and (B) the Certificate of Non-Foreign Status (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, which certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor; provided, however that no certification or Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor. The Holder of a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the initial transfer of the Certificates to the Depositor or the Seller, or an affiliate of the Seller.

No transfer of the Owner Trust Certificate shall be made unless the intended transferee certifies in the form of Exhibit J hereto to the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that, in connection with such transfer, it will acquire both the Owner Trust Certificate and a 100% Percentage Interest in each Class of Privately Offered Notes then outstanding, thus becoming a Single Owner upon completion of such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trust Certificate may be pledged to secure indebtedness and may be the subject of repurchase agreements treated as secured indebtedness for federal income tax purposes. Upon a default under any such indebtedness, the lender or repurchase agreement counterparty, as applicable, shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a certificate certifying that a default has occurred and that a REMIC Conversion should be undertaken.

No transfer of Certificates or any interest therein shall be made to any Person unless the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Seller, CHL and the Master Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Seller, CHL and the Master Servicer that the purchase of Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not

subject the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Seller, CHL or the Master Servicer to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Seller, CHL or the Master Servicer. In lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, a Person acquiring such Certificates may provide a certification in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement, which the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Seller, CHL and the Master Servicer may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor a certification will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets of any Plan) and the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the initial transfer of the Certificates to the Depositor or the Seller, or an affiliate of the Seller.

No transfer of the Certificate shall be made, unless following the transfer, 100% of the Privately Offered Notes and the Certificate will be owned by a single REIT, directly or indirectly through one or more QRSs of such REIT or one or more entities disregarded as entities separate from such REIT or such QRSs; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Certificate may be pledged to secure indebtedness and may be the subject of repurchase agreements treated by the Trust as secured indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, and (y) the Certificate may be transferred by the related lender under any such related loan agreement or repurchase agreement upon a default under any such indebtedness, in which case the transferor shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K certifying to such effect. Upon a default under any such indebtedness, the lender or repurchase agreement counterparty, as applicable may deliver to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N certifying that a default has occurred and that a REMIC Conversion should be undertaken.

No offer, sale, transfer or other disposition (including pledge) of any Certificate shall be made to any affiliate of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity, other than the initial transfer of the Certificates to the Depositor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to the initial transfer of the Certificate to the Initial Single Owner or the re-registering of such Certificate to any repurchase agreement counterparty.

Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there

shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, shall 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 denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.06, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar (including fees and expenses of counsel) and any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall constitute conclusive 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 3.07. Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 3.08. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee, a list, in such form as the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 3.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust, shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates the office of the agent of the Indenture Trustee at c/o DTC Transfer Services, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Entrance, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ for purposes of such surrender and the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee as its office for such purposes, service of notices or demands. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

Section 3.10. Certificate Paying Agent. (a) The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates and Section 5.01 hereof from

payments remitted to the Certificate Paying Agent by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture. The Trust hereby appoints The Bank of New York as Certificate Paying Agent and The Bank of New York hereby accepts such appointment and further agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of this Trust Agreement relating to the Certificate Paying Agent and shall:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(ii) give the Owner Trustee notice of any default by the Trust of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Paying Agent has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Certificates;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Owner Trustee forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums so held in Trust by such Certificate Paying Agent;

(iv) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Certificates of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and

(v) not institute bankruptcy proceedings against the Issuing Entity in connection with this Trust Agreement.

(b) The Trust may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. In the event that The Bank of New York shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent under this Trust Agreement and Paying Agent under the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company) and which shall also be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument to the effect set forth in Section 3.10(a) as it relates to the Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Trust and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Trust. The provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06, 6.07, 6.08 and 7.01 shall apply to the Certificate Paying Agent to the extent applicable. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

(c) The Certificate Paying Agent shall make all distributions to Certificates, from moneys on deposit in the Payment Account, in accordance with Section 5.01 of this Agreement and Section 4.02 of the Indenture.

In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents.

Section 4.02. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Basic Documents to which the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement.

Section 4.03. Action upon Instruction. (a) Subject to Article IV and in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Article IV.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Trust Agreement or under any Basic Document, or in the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Trust Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Certificateholders, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the

Certificateholders, and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

Section 4.04. No Duties Except as Specified under Specified Documents or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee.

The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate.

Section 4.05. Restrictions. (a) The Owner Trustee or the Depositor (or an Affiliate thereof) shall not take any action (x) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.03 or (y) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee based on an Opinion of Counsel rendered by a law firm generally recognized to be qualified to opine concerning the tax aspects of asset securitization, would result in the Trust becoming taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section 4.05. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Owner Trustee will not prohibit any actions contemplated herein in the case of a TMP Trigger Event and a REMIC Conversion.

(b) the election by the Trust to file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust (unless such amendment is required to be filed under the Statutory Trust Statute);

(c) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is required;

(d) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders; and

This paragraph shall survive for one year following termination of this Trust Agreement.

Section 4.09. Restrictions on Certificateholders’ Power. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03, nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

Section 4.10. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein, any action that may be taken by the Certificateholders under this Trust Agreement may be taken by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority Percentage Interest of the Certificates.

Section 4.11. Optional Redemption. Upon receipt of written instructions provided to the Owner Trustee by the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Issuing Entity to redeem the Notes in accordance with Section 8.07 of the Indenture and shall provide all necessary notices on behalf of the Issuing Entity to effect the foregoing, provided that the Master Servicer shall deposit with the Indenture Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate redemption price specified under Section 8.07 of the Indenture.

ARTICLE V

Application of Trust Funds

Section 5.01. Distributions. (a) On each Payment Date, the Certificate Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis based on the Certificate Percentage Interests thereof, payments to the Certificateholders (as provided in Section 4.02 of the Indenture) for such Payment Date as reduced by any amount owing to the Owner Trustee hereunder and any Expenses of the Trust remaining unpaid.

(b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the distributions (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section 5.01. The Certificate Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain or cause to be retained from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Certificate Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (b).

Section 5.02. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 8.01(c), distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date as provided in Section 5.01 shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

Section 5.03. Tax Returns. The Indenture Trustee shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on a calendar year basis using the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Noteholder as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required to enable each Noteholder of a Class of Notes to which a “will be debt” opinion has been delivered, to prepare its federal and state income tax returns, (c) prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed such tax returns relating to the Trust as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (making such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statutes, rules or regulations) and (d) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 5.01 of this Trust Agreement with respect to income or distributions to Certificateholders and prepare or cause to be prepared the appropriate forms relating thereto; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee

shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax returns on behalf of the Issuing Entity unless the Indenture Trustee receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall not be at the Indenture Trustee’s expense, but shall be at the expense of the Depositor or other party furnishing such opinion) as to the necessity of such filings. The Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the initial holder of the Certificates intend that the Trust be treated for federal income tax purposes as a “qualified REIT subsidiary,” within the meaning of the Code. The Indenture Trustee will perform the calculation of accrual of original issue discount and the amortization of premium on the Notes. The Holder of the Trust Certificates will be responsible for calculating or causing to be calculated any information regarding the calculation of net income and excess inclusion income.

Subsequent to a TMP Trigger Event, the entity that has foreclosed on the Equity Securities pursuant to any repurchase agreement shall cause to be provided to the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that each REMIC elected to be treated as a REMIC will qualify as a REMIC under the Code. Subsequent to any REMIC Conversion, the Indenture Trustee shall comply with all REMIC administration as contemplated by Article X of each of the indenture and the pooling and servicing agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit L and Exhibit M, respectively. The Owner Trustee shall sign all tax and information returns prepared or caused to be prepared by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.03 at the request of the Indenture Trustee, and in doing so shall rely entirely upon, and shall have no liability for information or calculations provided by, the Indenture Trustee.

Section 5.04. Statements to Certificateholders. On each Payment Date, the Certificate Paying Agent shall make available to each Certificateholder the statement or statements provided to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Indenture with respect to such Payment Date; provided, however, that in the event that any monthly statement is no longer available, at the request of any Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee will deliver such monthly statement to such Certificateholder.

The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Trust Agreement or the Trust or (y) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or the Trust Estate or (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(b) Except as provided in Section 8.01(a), neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.

(d) In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Certificate Paying Agent shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, if within one year following the Payment Date on which final payment of the Certificates was to have been made pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Paying Agent may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets

that shall remain subject to this Trust Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Certificate Distribution Account after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Certificate Paying Agent to the Depositor.

Successor Owner Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees

The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and having (or having a parent that has) a rating of at least Baa3 by Moody’s or is otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, 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 Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.01, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.02.

Section 9.02. Replacement of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Depositor. As a condition to the effectiveness of any such resignation, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Owner Trustee shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor pursuant to this Section and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligations under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to the resignation of the Owner Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation or the Owner Trustee shall fail to fulfill its obligations under Section 9.02 with respect to notice to the Depositor or Article XI of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such failure continues for the lesser of 10 calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions), then the Depositor may remove the Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Master Servicer shall

provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Indenture Trustee and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Trust Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Trust Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Trust Agreement; and the predecessor Owner 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 Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.03 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.03, the Owner Trustee shall mail notice thereof to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01 and, provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

As a condition to the effectiveness of any merger or consolidation, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of any merger or consolidation of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of any successor pursuant to this Section and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to the successor Owner Trust.

Section 9.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such

powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.

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

(a) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner 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 Owner 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, the Owner 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 Estate 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 Owner Trustee;

(b) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Trust Agreement; and

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner 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 Trust Agreement and the conditions of this Article. 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 Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as 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 Trust 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 Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

▇▇▇▇▇ OF_____________	)
	)	ss.:
COUNTY OF___________	)

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. The undersigned is an officer of __________, the proposed transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2006 (the “Agreement”), by and among CWABS, Inc., as Depositor (the “Depositor”), Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee and The Bank of New York, as Certificate Registrar and Certificate Paying Agent. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture, dated as of March 22, 2006, by and between GSC Capital Corp. Mortgage Trust 2006-1, as Issuing Entity (the “Issuing Entity”) and The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). The transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the transferee.

2. Either (a) the transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other plan that is subject to Section 406 of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, nor is it acting on behalf of or with plan assets of any such plan, or (b) the transferee has provided the opinion of counsel specified in Section [ ] of the Agreement. The transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account.

3. The transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.

4. The transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with

H-1

respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)

5. The transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section [ ] of the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section [ ] of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

6. The transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the transferee will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that the transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the transferee, the transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit I to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

7. The transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Trust Certificates.

	8.	The transferee’s taxpayer identification number is __________________.
	9.	The transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code section 7701(a)(30).

10. The transferee is aware that the Trust Certificates may be “noneconomic residual interests” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax. In addition, as the holder of a noneconomic residual interest, the transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and the transferee hereby represents that it intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest as they become due.

H-2

11. The transferee has provided financial statements or other financial information requested by the Transferor in connection with the transfer of the Trust Certificates to permit the Transferor to assess the financial capability of the transferee to pay such taxes.

Certain Definitions

“Ownership Interest”: As to any Certificate, any ownership interest in such Certificate, including any interest in such Certificate as the Holder thereof and any other interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal or beneficial.

“Permitted Transferee”: Any person other than (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or any agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to any Trust Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership” as defined in Section 775 of the Code, (vi) a Person that is not a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership, or other entity (treated as a corporation or a partnership for federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or an estate whose income from sources without the United States is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trustor unless such Person has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, and (vii) any other Person so designated by the Trustee based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate to such Person may cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Notes are Outstanding. The terms “United States,” “State” and “International Organization” shall have the meanings set forth in section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions. A corporation will not be treated as an instrumentality of the United States or of any State or political subdivision thereof for these purposes if all of its activities are subject to tax and a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such government unit.

“Person”: Any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or government, or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

“Transfer”: Any direct or indirect transfer or sale of any Ownership Interest in a Certificate.

H-5

Section 3.05 of the Agreement

(a) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

a. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Trust 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.

b. No Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Trust Certificate unless, in addition to the representation letters required to be delivered to the Trustee under the seventh paragraph of this Section 3.05 above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

c. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Trust Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.

d. Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Trust Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Trust Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 3.05 and this Section 3.05 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Trust Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Trust

H-6

Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

e. The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Trust Certificate set forth in this Section 3.05 shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Trust Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Sellers or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Trust Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Trust Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Trust Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
