In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage or (b) any recorded assignments or interim assignments satisfying the requirements of clause (iii) or (iv) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor or Servicer shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Servicer to the Trustee. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified (to the extent such certification is reasonably obtainable) by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

In addition, in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying the requirements of clause (vi) above, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because the related Mortgage or a related assignment has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, and in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date.

Subject to the immediately following sentence, as promptly as practicable subsequent to the transfer set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.1, and in any event, within 30 days thereafter, the Servicer shall as to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which the Depositor delivers an assignment of the Mortgage in blank pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(A) of this Section 2.1, (i) complete each such assignment of Mortgage to conform to clause (b)(iii)(B) of this Section 2.1, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records, and (iii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of the Mortgages, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such assignments in recordable form, the Servicer’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within 30 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan in any state other than the Required Recordation States.

In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, will deposit in the Collection Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof.

Section 2.2

Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

The Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the initial certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C (the “Initial Certification”) and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it or the Custodian holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver or to cause the Custodian to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C. Based on its or the Custodian’s review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Not later than 360 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event there are exceptions to the Final Certification, the Trustee may transmit such exceptions electronically (via email) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer, subject to the prior approval of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer.

If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 hereof (the “Mortgage Loan Document Requirements”), the Trustee shall list or shall cause the Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. SMI shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if SMI does not correct or cure such defect within such period, SMI shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date SMI was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Servicer or SMI and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.4 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit I. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by SMI in the Collection Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit J hereto, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to SMI and shall execute and deliver at SMI’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by SMI, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in SMI, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. With respect to any SMI Mortgage Loans, the foregoing remedy against SMI for failure to deliver Mortgage Loans that satisfy the Mortgage Loan Document Requirements is provided in the related Sales Agreement (which, in turn, has been assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof); and with respect to any Warehouse Mortgage Loans, the foregoing remedy against SMI has been assigned by the related Warehouse Seller pursuant to the applicable Sales Agreement or Subsequent Sales Agreement (which, in turn, has been assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof).

The Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Servicer from time to time.

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of SMI to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 hereof shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee and any Certificateholder against the Depositor or SMI.

In order to facilitate sales and deliveries of Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund, the Trustee may execute and deliver one or more remittance agency agreements in substantially the form of Exhibit K hereto (each, a "Remittance Agency Agreement"), and in such event the Trustee: (i) shall perform the duties of Remittance Agent (as that term is defined in the related Remittance Agency Agreement); and (ii) may accept as conclusive evidence of the release of the related security interests one or more security release certifications in substantially the form attached as Exhibit L hereto (each, a "Security Release Certification").

The Depositor represents and warrants to the Trustee that, as of the Closing Date:

(i)

the Depositor is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation and has, and had at all relevant times, full corporate power to own its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii)

the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor and the performance by it of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not (A) violate the Depositor's articles of incorporation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach or acceleration of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or which may be applicable to the Depositor or any of its assets or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such contract, agreement or other instrument;

(iii)

the Depositor has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated by it, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, 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);

(v)

there are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Depositor pending or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit its entering into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that, if determined adversely, would prohibit or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of any of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.

(d)

Pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) hereof, the Depositor has assigned to the Trustee, for the benefit of Certificateholders, its rights under each Sales Agreement, including each representation and warranty of the applicable Seller (and the applicable remedies) set forth in such Sales Agreement in respect of the Mortgage Loans. In the case of any SMI Mortgage Loans, the related Sales Agreement provides remedies against SMI directly to the Depositor; in the case of any Warehouse Mortgage Loans, the related Sales Agreement or Subsequent Sales Agreement assigns such remedies against SMI from the applicable Warehouse Seller to the Depositor.

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the applicable Seller in respect of the Mortgage Loans that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. SMI hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach such of any representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan (it being understood that any such breach shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Trust Fund therein, if the Trust Fund incurs a loss as the result of such breach), it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.4(a) hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. SMI shall promptly reimburse the Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies against the related Seller. With respect to the representations and warranties described in this Section which are made to the best of SMI’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Servicer or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding SMI’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, SMI shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by SMI on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter SMI shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and SMI shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made by SMI pursuant to the Sales Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to SMI and shall execute and deliver at SMI’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by SMI, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in SMI, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.

For any month in which SMI substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Collection Account by SMI on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that SMI shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Distribution Account prior to the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which SMI became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.4 hereof and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit I hereto, the Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to SMI, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the Custodian to execute and deliver at SMI’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of each Seller to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.

The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3 (and the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans made in the Sales Agreement) shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

(e)

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require SMI, at SMI’s option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.3(d) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.3. In the case of any SMI Mortgage Loans, the related Sales Agreement provides remedies against SMI directly to the Depositor; in the case of any Warehouse Mortgage Loans, the related Sales Agreement assigns such remedies against SMI from the applicable Warehouse Seller to the Depositor. The Trustee shall reconvey or shall cause the Custodian to reconvey to SMI the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4

Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions.

(a)

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Depositor or SMI delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

Section 2.5

Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected.

Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.2 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, 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 or (y) in the absence of default or imminent default, any such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence would not cause any REMIC created hereunder to be disqualified or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code, the Servicer may not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall promptly execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer.

In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall make Servicing Advances as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof, and further as provided in Section 3.8 hereof. The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

Upon request of the Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney necessary or appropriate to enable Servicer to execute in the name of the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, all documents reasonably required to perform the servicing functions described in this Article 3.

Section 3.2

Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers.

(a)

The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer.

(b)

For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer.

Section 3.3

Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Servicer.

The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of the Servicer hereunder; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer hereunder or otherwise.

Section 3.4

Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.

In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Master Servicer or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Master Servicer shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.9 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Servicer hereunder). If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Master Servicer or its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Servicer under each subservicing agreement.

The Servicer shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

Section 3.5

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection Account; Distribution Account.

(a)

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or penalty interest and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut Off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, any P&I Advance required to be made by the Servicer on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof (i) with respect to the Prepayment Period in which such arrangement became effective shall be made in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without giving effect to the modification thereof by reason of such arrangements and (ii) with respect to any Prepayment Period thereafter shall be made in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan as so modified. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.

The Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.21 hereof with respect to each Prepayment Penalty related to the Mortgage Loans.

(b)

The Servicer shall establish and maintain a Collection Account into which the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited as soon as practicable following receipt but in no event no later than two Business Days after receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut Off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut Off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(i)

all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments;

(ii)

all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the related Servicing Fee and any Prepayment Interest Excess;

(iii)

any Prepayment Penalty required to be deposited by the Servicer hereunder;

(iv)

all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures;

(v)

any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.5(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

(vi)

any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.9(b) and (d) hereof, and in respect of net monthly rental income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;

(vii)

all Substitution Adjustment Amounts; and

(viii)

all P&I Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.19 hereof.

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall cause funds to be deposited into the Collection Account in an amount required to cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date at the related Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) on such date.

The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees or amounts attributable to reimbursements of Advances, if collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Collection Account to withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Collection Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Collection Account. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8.

(c)

The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, for the benefit of Certificateholders, a Master Servicer Custodial Account. On each Servicer Deposit Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account, the Available Funds for such date. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deposit any amounts pursuant to Section 3.5(e) in connection with losses on Permitted Investments in the Master Servicer Custodial Account.

(d)

The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. On each Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the Available Funds for such date. In addition, the Trustee shall deposit any amounts received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.5(e) in connection with losses on Permitted Investments in the Distribution Account.

In the event that the Servicer or Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Servicer.

(e)

The institutions at which the Collection Account, Master Servicer Custodial Account and Distribution Account are maintained shall invest funds as directed by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments which in each case shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Collection Account, the second Business Day next preceding the related Servicer Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Servicer Deposit Date), (ii) in the case of the Master Servicer Custodial Account, the second Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date), and (iii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and all income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account and the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. The amount of any realized losses in the Collection Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and the amount of any realized losses in the Master Servicer Custodial Account and the Distribution Account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited therein by the Master Servicer. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the Collection Account or the Master Servicer Custodial Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.5.

Section 3.6

Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

(a)

To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

(b)

Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.1 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.9 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.

(c)

The Servicer shall advance, as Servicing Advances, any payments referred to in Section 3.6(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, provided, however that the Servicer shall not be required to make any such advance if such advance, in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.7

Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.

The Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.

Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Servicer will provide to each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and access.

Section 3.8

Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account, Master Servicer Custodial Account and Distribution Account.

(a)

The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(ii)

to the extent not previously retained by the Servicer, to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made;

(iii)

(vii)

to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof;

(viii)

to pay to the Master Servicer any accrued compensation to which it is entitled hereunder (and any amount to which it is entitled to reimbursement herewith);

(x)

on or prior to each Servicer Deposit Date, to withdraw an amount equal to the related Available Funds and remit such amount to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account; and

(xi)

to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loan(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.

(b)

The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Master Servicer Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(i)

to pay itself any compensation due it hereunder;

(ii)

to the extent not previously retained by the Servicer, to pay to the Servicer the servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.14;

(iii)

to pay to itself earnings or investment income with respect to funds in the Master Servicer Custodial Account;

(c)

The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement. In addition, the Trustee may prior to making the distribution pursuant to Section 4.1 from time to time make withdrawals from the Distribution Account for the following purposes:

(i)

to pay to itself the Trustee Fee and reimburse itself for reasonable expenses for the related Distribution Date (allocated pro rata by Group, if applicable);

(iv)

to withdraw and return to the Servicer or Master Servicer any amount deposited in the Distribution Account and not required to be deposited therein, including any amounts owed to the Servicer as part of the Servicing Fee in accordance with the terms hereunder; and

(v)

to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

Section 3.9

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies.

(a)

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan; (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; and (iii) the maximum amount available in the locality of the related Mortgaged Property from insurers generally acceptable to institutional residential mortgage lenders without payment of extraordinary premium. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer as Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.

(b)

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on any or all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans so covered, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

(c)

The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.

The Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to 80% (or such lower Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be provided by applicable law) as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new appraised value (or other method of determination as may be provided by applicable law) or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

The Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be recoverable by the Servicer as Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances.

(d)

In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account.

Section 3.10

Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, enforcement is permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

(b)

Subject to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. 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 in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Section 3.11

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a)

Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3.5(a), 3.11(b), 3.11(f), and 3.11(i), the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities; provided, however, 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 Collection Account). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as Servicing Advances or, if applicable, as Nonrecoverable Advances.

(b)

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 material environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and shall proceed with such in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure only if the Servicer reasonably determines that doing so shall more like than not be in the best interests of the Trust Fund, considering all relevant factors including such environmental matters. For the purpose of this Section, actual knowledge of the Servicer means actual knowledge of a Servicing Officer involved in the servicing of the relevant Mortgage Loan at the time such knowledge was acquired. 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.

(c)

With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, provided that the Servicers may cause title to be placed in the name of the Custodian or the Servicer if the Servicer reasonably determines that such manner of holding title is required or advisable in order to facilitate the foreclosure process as to any one or more particular Mortgage Loans. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, in its sole discretion, rent or decline to rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with respect to any REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.

(d)

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund 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 Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC created hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

(e)

In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not a “United States person,” as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligor on such Mortgage Loan.

(f)

The decision of the Servicer to foreclose, or to continue the foreclosure process, on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the related Mortgaged Property will not fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and that the proceeds of such foreclosure would more likely than not exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding and liquidating the REO expected to be obtained through such foreclosure. Promptly upon making any determination in accordance with the preceding sentence not to foreclose, or to discontinue the foreclosure process, as to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer identifying the Mortgage Loans as to which such determination has been made (each such Mortgage Loan, upon acceptance of such Officer’s Certificate by the Master Servicer, a “Nonrecoverable Mortgage Loan”) setting forth the basis for such determination in a form acceptable to the Master Servicer.

(g)

The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Collection Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.

(h)

The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14.

(i)

Notwithstanding any provision hereof, in connection with the foreclosure or other conversion of defaulted assets, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall have the sole discretion to determine whenever an immediate sale of any REO or Nonrecoverable Mortgage Loan, or continued management of such REO or Nonrecoverable Mortgage Loan, is in the best interest of certificateholders to maximize recoveries. Any such disposition (including by means of a “whole loan sale”) shall be conducted by the Servicer on terms and conditions approved by the Master Servicer in its sole discretion. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Master Servicer shall not approve any such disposition that would (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

(j)

The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 91 days or more Delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided however, that for any such Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Mortgage Loan, such purchase shall be at a price equal to the Nonrecoverable Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, and provided further that any REO Property may be disposed of pursuant to the preceding Section 3.11(i). The total price calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Request for Release from the Servicer in the form of Exhibit J hereto, 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 3.12

Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by delivering, or causing to be delivered a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit J. Upon receipt of such request, the Trustee shall or shall cause the Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Servicer’s direction execute and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, in each case as provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. In lieu of the document execution process described in the preceding two sentences, the Servicer shall be authorized to execute each such Request for Release, request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance, and release, satisfaction of mortgage, or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage as attorney in fact for the Trustee (or the Custodian, if applicable) pursuant to the powers of attorney described in Section 3.1. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit K signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee or its Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Collection Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit L, signed by a Servicing Officer.

If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.

Section 3.13

Documents Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, all documents and instruments described in Section 2.1(b), and shall hold as Servicer and agent of the Trustee all other documents, in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 3.14

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account an amount equal to the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan, provided that the aggregate Servicing Fee with respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by the amount of any Compensating Interest paid by the Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date, and (ii) with respect to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to any amount to be deposited into the Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and not so deposited.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) Prepayment Interest Excess and all income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments and (ii) assumption fees, late payment charges, and other receipts not required to be deposited to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof, including any Excess Proceeds, shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. The Servicer and Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by them respectively in connection with their respective activities hereunder to the extent such expenses do not constitute Advances or Nonrecoverable Advances as defined in this Agreement and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

Section 3.15

Access to Certain Documentation.

The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

Section 3.16

Annual Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on or before March 1 of each applicable year, commencing in 2003, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding fiscal year and of the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its material obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. The Trustee shall forward a copy of each such statement to each Rating Agency.

Section 3.17

Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Statement; Financial Statements.

On or before March 31 of each applicable year, commencing in 2003, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement (such statement to have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby) substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or alternatively, if the Master Servicer has so elected, the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, and setting forth such firm’s conclusions relating thereto in accordance with the applicable attestation program or audit program. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer’s expense, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.

Section 3.18

Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.

The Servicer shall for so long as it acts as Servicer under this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall, together, comply with the requirements from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for persons performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer, meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement.

Section 3.19

Advances.

The Servicer shall determine on or before each Determination Date whether it is required to make a P&I Advance pursuant to the definition thereof. If the Servicer determines it is required to make a P&I Advance, it shall, before the Distribution Account Deposit Date, deposit into the Master Servicer Custodial Account an amount equal to the P&I Advance. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all P&I Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.8 hereof. The obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has not been liquidated, provided that in no event shall the Servicer be required to make any proposed Advance that, if made, would in the good faith judgment of the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer on the related Servicer Deposit Date an Officer’s Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any proposed Advance that, if made, would in the good faith judgment of the Servicer be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.20

Advance Facility.

(a)

The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into any facility with any Person (any such Person, an “Advance Facility Counterparty”) which provides that the Servicer may pledge or sell its rights to receive reimbursement of Advances pursuant to this Agreement (“Advance Reimbursement Rights”) pursuant to credit facilities, repurchase facilities, or similar facilities providing liquidity for the funding of Advances, including facilities providing that such Advance Facility Counterparty may make all or a portion of the Advances (any such facility, an “Advance Facility”), although no Advance Facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligations to fund such Advances. If so required pursuant to the terms of an Advance Facility, to the extent that an Advance Facility Counterparty makes all or a portion of any Advance and the Advance Facility Counterparty and the Servicer provide the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advance Facility Counterparty is entitled to reimbursement, such Advance Facility Counterparty shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided. Such notice from the Advance Facility Counterparty and the Servicer must specify the amount of the reimbursement and must specify which Section of this Agreement permits the Advance to be reimbursed. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Counterparty’s statement with respect to the amount of any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 3.20 and with respect to the Advance Facility Counterparty’s statement with respect to the Section of this Agreement permits the Advance to be reimbursed. An Advance Facility Counterparty whose obligations are limited to the making of Advances will not be deemed to be a Subservicer under this Agreement.

(b)

If so required pursuant to the terms of an Advance Facility, the Servicer may direct, and if so directed the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall pay to the Advance Facility Counterparty (i) reimbursements for Advances; and (ii) all or such portion of the Servicing Fee as may be so specified in the Advance Facility, that would otherwise be payable to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

(c)

Upon request of the Servicer, the Trustee agrees to execute such acknowledgments, certificates, and other documents recognizing the interests of any Advance Facility Counterparty in such Advance Reimbursement Rights and Servicing Fees as the Servicer may cause to be made subject to Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.20, and such other documents in connection with such Advance Facilities as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any Advance Facility Counterparty. The implementation of the arrangement described in this Section shall not require the consent of Certificateholders or the Trustee.

Section 3.21

Prepayment Penalties.

The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Penalty or part of a Prepayment Penalty unless (i) such waiver would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total net proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default; (ii) the related Mortgage Loan indebtedness has been accelerated; or (iii) the Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel, which may be in-house counsel for the Servicer, opining that the Prepayment Penalty is not legally enforceable in the circumstances under which the related prepayment occurs. In no event will the Servicer waive a Prepayment Penalty in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseen default.

All distributions with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class, based on the Percentage Interest in such Class represented by each Certificate. Payments to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date shall be made by the Trustee to the Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check or money order mailed to a Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or upon written request by such Certificateholder to the Trustee made not later than the applicable Record Date, by wire transfer to a U.S. depository institution acceptable to the Trustee, or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree.

(b)

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each financial intermediary for which it acts as agent. Each such financial intermediary shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Certificates. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

(c)

The Trustee shall withhold or cause to be withheld such amounts as it reasonably determines are required by the Code (giving full effect to any exemptions from withholding and related certifications required to be furnished by Certificateholders or Certificate Owners and any reductions to withholding by virtue of any bilateral tax treaties and any applicable certification required to be furnished by Certificateholders or Certificate Owners with respect thereto) from distributions to be made to a “Foreign Person” as defined in Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

Section 4.3

The assets of one such sub-Trust shall consist of all the assets of the Trust other than the instrument and the assets of the other sub-Trust shall consist solely of such instrument.

ARTICLE 5

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 5.1

The Certificates.

The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached as exhibits hereto. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.

Subject to Section 9.2 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates or (B) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature 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 countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.

The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.

Section 5.2

Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.6 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.

At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures.

(b)

No Person shall transfer a Private Certificate unless such transfer (i) is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or (ii) is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit F (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit G (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit H (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer 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 from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation in the form of Exhibit G-2 that (a) the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and (b) all of the requirements of PTCE 95-60 are met, including the requirement that an ERISA Qualifying Underwriting applies, to exempt the acquisition and holding of such Certificates and the transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of the trust from the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code; or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be “plan assets” and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Underwriter to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code 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.

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.2(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(c)

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

(i)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee.

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The 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 Section 5.2(b) and this Section 5.2(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual 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 Residual 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.

(v)

The Depositor shall 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 Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.2(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC created 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 Fund. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(d)

The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.2 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.

(e)

Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the 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 Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the 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 Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.

If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Class Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.

Section 5.3

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the 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 Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.3, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.4

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 5.6

The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates the office of the Trustee’s agent, located at DTC Transfer Agent Services, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Entrance, New York, New York 10041, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, for such purposes.

Upon its obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate that an event has occurred that may justify termination of the Servicer hereunder and describing the circumstances surrounding such event. Upon determination by the Master Servicer that an Event of Default has occurred, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and the Master Servicer (a) may terminate the Servicer hereunder, if in its judgment such termination is in the best interests of the Trust Fund; or (b) shall terminate the Servicer hereunder, if instructed to do so by the Trustee. The Trustee shall so instruct the Master Servicer if directed to do so by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates exercised in writing following delivery to such Holders by the Trustee of notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

Upon any such termination, the Master Servicer shall enter into a substitute servicing arrangement with another mortgage loan servicing company acceptable to the Master Servicer and Rating Agency under which such mortgage loan servicing company shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried out by the terminated Servicer hereunder. Until such time as the Master Servicer enters into a substitute servicing agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all obligations which otherwise were to have been satisfied, performed and carried out by the terminated Servicer. As compensation to the Master Servicer for any servicing obligations fulfilled or assumed by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to any servicing compensation to which the terminated Servicer would have been entitled if such Servicer had not been terminated.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Servicing Trigger Event, the Trustee will, upon the direction of, and at the expense of, a Majority of the Certificateholders, remove the Servicer and shall appoint a successor Servicer in accordance with the direction of a Majority of Certificateholders.

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating such Servicer’s rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(i) through (viii), and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

In no event shall the termination of the Servicer under this Agreement result in any diminution of the Servicer’s right to reimbursement for any outstanding Advances due such Servicer at the time of termination. The successor Servicer shall be obligated to promptly reimburse the terminated Servicer for outstanding Advances provided, however, that if the Trustee becomes the successor Servicer, such reimbursement obligation shall be limited to the funds available in the Collection Account for such purposes pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(ii) and 3.8(iii) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, any such reimbursement for outstanding Advances shall be made on a first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis no later than the 18th day of each month provided that the successor Servicer has received prior written notice from the appropriate party, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, of such reimbursement amount.

Section 7.2

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)

Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer or Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.

(b)

Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

ARTICLE 8

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 8.1

Duties of Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

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 willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i)

unless an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, 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 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 which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;

(ii)

the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii)

the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement;

(iv)

the Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or 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 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 Master 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 Master Servicer; and

(v)

without limiting the generality of this Section 8.1, the Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or deposit or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

Section 8.2

(ii)

the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or accountants and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

(x)

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

(xi)

the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the powers granted hereunder.

Section 8.3

Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, the Depositor or Master Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or the Master Servicer.

Section 8.4

Trustee May Own Certificates.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.

Section 8.5

Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.

The Trustee, as compensation for its activities prior to making the distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 hereunder, shall be entitled to deduct from the Master Servicing Fee on each Distribution Date an amount equal to the Trustee Fee and reasonable expenses for such Distribution Date. Saxon shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof against any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any custodial agreement or the Certificates, including, but not limited to, any such loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action against the Trust or the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Custodian or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof, or the performance of any of the duties of the Trustee or the Paying Agent under this Agreement or the duties of the Custodian under any custodial agreement (including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of documents in connection with a foreclosure sale, trustee’s sale, or deed in lieu of foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including, but not, limited to, any deed of reconveyance, any substitution of trustee documents or any other documents to release, satisfy, cancel or discharge any Mortgage Loan) other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the duties under this Agreement or by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of the Custodian under any custodial agreement (including specifically any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Custodian by reason of simple negligence under any custodial agreement). The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Paying Agent and the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Custodian under any custodial agreement. The Trustee may receive an additional indemnity from a party acceptable to the Trustee.

Section 8.6

Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to super-vision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction). If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.6 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.6, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.7 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.

Section 8.7

Resignation and Removal of Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.8, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.6. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee.

The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the Successor Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.7 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.8 hereof.

Section 8.8

Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.7 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.8 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.8, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

Section 8.9

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 8.6 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.10

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.6 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.8.

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)

To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee 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 Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii)

No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;

(iii)

The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and

(iv)

The Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 8.11

Tax Matters.

(a)

It is intended that the assets with respect to which the REMIC elections are to be made, as set forth in Schedule III, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as REMICs as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Master Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made REMIC elections as directed in Schedule III on the federal tax returns for each such REMIC’s first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC created hereunder under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of REMIC status or result in the imposition of tax on any REMIC; (h) pay the amount of any federal, state or local tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that 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 laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.

To enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Master Servicer within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Master Servicer requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Master Servicer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Master Servicer that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer on a timely basis.

The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee covenant and agree that (i) they shall, to the extent that they are under their control, conduct matters relating to the assets of the Trust Fund at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC created hereunder under the REMIC Provisions, and (ii) they shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of REMIC status or result in the imposition of tax on any REMIC.

(b)

The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Holder of the Class C Certificate and that is not an asset of any REMIC and all amounts deposited into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Class C Certificateholder. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall treat the rights of the holders of Certificates (other than the Class A-IO, Class S, Class P and Class R Certificates) to receive payments from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by the holder of the Class C Certificate in favor of the holder of the Certificates (other than the Class A-IO, Class S, Class P and Class R Certificates). For this purpose, such rights include not only the rights with respect to Cap Carryover Amounts but also the rights of a holder of a Class AV, Class M-1, Class M-2 or Class B Certificate to receive amounts in excess of the amounts payable on the regular interest in REMIC 7 corresponding to such Certificate. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class A-IO, Class S, Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in REMIC 7, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate cap contract.

In addition, the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall treat the holders of the C Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to each holder of a Class S Certificate. Pursuant to such notional principal contract, each holder of a Class C Certificate will be treated as having agreed to pay to the holders of the Class S Certificates, on each Distribution Date, from amounts payable on the REMIC 7 regular interest corresponding to the Class C Certificates, an amount equal to the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the portion of the Class S-II Component allocable to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in Group II. Such notional principal contract will not be part of any REMIC, and no payments to the holders of the Class S Certificates of any amounts with respect to such notional principal contract will be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article 4 hereof or otherwise, the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall account for all distributions with respect to a Class of Certificates in amounts that differ from those payable pursuant to the regular interest in REMIC 7 corresponding to such Class as amounts paid or received (as appropriate) pursuant to the notional principal contracts provided for in this Section. In no event shall any such amounts be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

Section 8.12

Filings.

(a)

The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust Fund any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder, and shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms on behalf of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such Form 8-K but only to the extent no accompanying certification is required to be filed 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 Fund. The Depositor shall execute the Form 10-Ks. 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.

(b)

Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to 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 Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or the Commission’s staff interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer’s annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.16 and the accountant’s report described under Section 3.16, 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.

Section 9.1

Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Mortgage Loans.

(a)

Subject to Section 9.3, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of:

(i)

the purchase by the Master Servicer or its designee of all Mortgage Loans (including REO Properties not otherwise disposed of pursuant to Section 3.11(i)) remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan that is not a Nonrecoverable Mortgage Loan; (B) the Projected Net Liquidation Value of each Nonrecoverable Mortgage Loan (not including any REO), and (C) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by a real estate broker meeting the qualifications, and applying broker’s price opinion methodology, generally acceptable to residential mortgage servicers, or other property valuation opinion methodology customarily used by residential mortgage servicers with respect to defaulted loans and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property. In addition, such purchase price shall include with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including REO Properties) accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Net Rate, except to the extent the Servicer was not or would not be required to make a P&I Advance hereunder; and

(ii)

the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (B) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof, and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (i) above shall be conditioned upon the Pool Principal Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent of the Assumed Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

(b)

With respect to any purchase pursuant to subsection (a), upon deposit of the price determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) in the Distribution Account, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of each 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 (including appropriate instruments with respect to any REO Property), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan sold 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 9.2

Final Distribution on the Certificates.

If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.1, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10 th day and no later than the 15 th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Master Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in the Collection Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans.

Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in the case of the Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional Principal Balance, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing Certificate, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.

In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the holder of each of the Class R Certificates shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the REMICs held for distribution to such Certificateholders, which remain subject hereto.

Section 9.3

Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)

In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.1, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.3 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC as defined in section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(i)

The Trustee shall sell all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund for cash as provided in Section 9.01(a)(i), and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to (or credit to the account of) the Holders of the Certificates the proceeds of such sale together with other cash on hand (less amounts retained to meet claims) in complete liquidation of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder; and

(ii)

The Trustee shall attach a statement to the final federal income tax return for each REMIC created hereunder stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i).

(b)

By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Trustee to undertake the above-described actions.

ARTICLE 10

(b)

The Master Servicer shall supervise and provide oversight of the Servicer’s performance of its obligations hereunder.

(c)

To the extent the Servicer defaults in its obligation to timely make an P&I Advance required hereunder, upon notice of such failure, the Master Servicer shall be required to make such P&I Advance by the related Distribution Date. All rights of reimbursement otherwise available to the Servicer hereunder in respect of any Advance shall be fully available to the Master Servicer.

(d)

The Master Servicer shall, in the manner and at such times specified, prepare and furnish the reports described in Sections 4.4 and 4.5 hereof.

Section 10.2

Compensation to the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee on each Distribution Date from amounts on deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account. If, on any Distribution Date such fee is not distributed as provided herein, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to pay the Master Servicing Fee to the Master Servicer by withdrawal from the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to deposit account earnings as provided in Section 3.5 as additional master servicing compensation.

Section 10.3

Termination of Master Servicer; Trustee to Act.

Each of the following shall constitute an event of default by the Master Servicer (a "Master Servicer Event of Default") of its obligations hereunder:

(a)

any failure of the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee any payment required to be made to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders under the terms of this Agreement within five days of the due date therefor;

(b)

the Master Servicer shall fail duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements (other than its obligation to make an Advance) contained herein and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights; or

(c)

a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and 1iabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

(d)

the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding of or relating to the Master Servicer or relating to all or substantially all its property; or

(e)

the Master 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 insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

The rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement may be terminated only upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 10.3 shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, other than its rights as a Certificateholder. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (e) of this Section 10.3 shall occur, the Trustee may terminate, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, other than its rights as a Certificateholder. On and after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 10.3 (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it hereunder on or prior to the date of such termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, as the Master Servicer's attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things that in the Trustee's sole and absolute judgment may be necessary or appropriate, to effect such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such termination the Master Servicer shall do all things reasonably requested by the Trustee to effect the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities, rights and powers hereunder, and the transfer thereof to the Trustee, including, but not limited to, promptly providing to the Trustee (and in no event later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) all documents and records electronic and otherwise reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume and carry out the duties and obligations that otherwise were to have been performed and carried out by the Master Servicer but for such termination.

As successor Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to the fees to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer had continued to act as such. The Trustee shall also, as successor Master Servicer, be entitled to all the protections and indemnification afforded to the Master Servicer hereunder.

Notwithstanding the above, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, if the Trustee shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is unable so to act or, if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all future responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or an affiliate shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.

In connection with any such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments received on the assets included in the Trust Fund as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

Section 10.4

Notification to Certificateholders.

Upon any termination pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

ARTICLE 11

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.1

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement in any disclosure document pursuant to which any Certificates were offered; to correct any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Trustee, Servicer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any such REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee have been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC created hereunder or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 11.1.

Section 11.2

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at its expense, but only upon direction a majority of the Certificateholders to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders. However, the foregoing sentence notwithstanding, the Servicer may provide copies hereof to counsel, judicial officers, and government agencies, or may cause this Agreement to be recorded, in any jurisdiction in which, in the Servicer’s judgment, such disclosure or recording may facilitate foreclosure or other recovery with respect to any one or more of the Mortgage Loans.

For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed (by facsimile or otherwise) simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 11.3

Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 11.4

Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, absolute sales thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

The Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Section 11.5

(a)

The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

any material change or amendment to this Agreement;

the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;

the resignation or termination of the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee and the appointment of any successor;

the repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof;

the final payment to Certificateholders; and

any rating action involving the long-term credit rating of the Master Servicer, which notice shall be made by first-class mail within two Business Days after the Trustee gains actual knowledge thereof.

Any notice of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 3.11 hereof.

(b)

All directions, demands, authorizations, consents, waivers, communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by first class mail, facsimile or courier to the applicable Notice Address, or in the case of the Rating Agencies, the address specified therefor in the definition corresponding to the name of such Rating Agency. Notices to Certificateholders shall be deemed given when mailed, first class postage prepaid, to their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

Section 11.6

Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

Section 11.7

Assignment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Master Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.

Section 11.8

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.8, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 11.9

Inspection and Audit Rights.

The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit and will cause each Subservicer to permit any representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Servicer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Master Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 11.9 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection; all other such expenses shall be borne by the Servicer or the related Subservicer.

Section 11.10

Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.

It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.

The interest rate for Class LT1-Initial-Grp I for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Rates for the related Due Period for the Mortgage Loans in Group I that are not Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

(2)

The interest rate for Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp I for each of the first four Distribution Dates (and the related Accrual Periods) is a per annum rate of 0%, and for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) thereafter, is per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Rates for the related Due Period for the Mortgage Loans in Group I that are Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

(3)

The interest rate for Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp IIA and Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp IIB for each of the first four Distribution Dates (and the related Accrual Periods) is a per annum rate of 0%, and for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) thereafter, is per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Rates for the related Due Period for the Mortgage Loans in Group II that are Subsequent Mortgage Loans, provided that, for any of the first 36 Distribution Dates, the Net Rate of each such Subsequent Mortgage Loan that has not reached its Initial Adjustment Date shall be reduced by 163 basis points.

(4)

The Class LT1-CIO-Grp I Interest is an interest only Lower Tier Interest, and it does not have a principal balance. For each of the first four Distribution Dates, the Class LT1-CIO Interest shall be entitled to 100% of the interest payable on each Subsequent Mortgage Loan in Group I for the related Due Period, and for each Distribution Date thereafter, shall not be entitled to any distributions.

(5)

The Class LT1-CIO-Grp II Interest is an interest only Lower Tier Interest, and it does not have a principal balance. For each of the first four Distribution Dates, the Class LT1-CIO-Grp II Interest shall be entitled to the interest payable on each Subsequent Mortgage Loan in Group II at the Net Rate thereof, provided that, for any of the first 4 Distribution Dates, the Net Rate of each such Subsequent Mortgage Loan that has not reached its Initial Adjustment Date shall be reduced by 163 basis points. For each Distribution Date after the fourth Distribution Date, the Class LT1-CIO-Grp II Interest shall not be entitled to any distributions.

(6)

The Class LT1-CIO-S Interest is an interest only Lower Tier Interest, and it does not have a principal balance. For each Subsequent Mortgage Loan in Group II and each of the first 36 Distribution Dates, the Class LT1-CIO-S Interest shall be entitled to receive interest payable on such Subsequent Mortgage Loan during the related Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to 1.63% provided that such Subsequent Mortgage Loan that has not reached its Initial Adjustment Date.

In addition, REMIC 1 shall issue two additional REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interests for each Mortgage Loan in Group II that is not a Subsequent Mortgage Loan (each such Interest, a “Corresponding REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interest”). In the case of each such Mortgage Loan, (i) one of the Corresponding REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Loan (the “Class S Corresponding REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interest”) will have an initial principal balance equal to 50% of the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Cut Off Date and shall bear interest for any of the first 36 Distribution Dates (and the related Accrual Periods) at a per annum rate of 3.26% if the balance of such Mortgage Loan is reflected in the Notional Principal Balance of the Class S-II Component for such Distribution Date and at a per annum rate equal to the Net Rate of such Mortgage Loan thereafter (the first Distribution Date on which such Mortgage Loan is not reflected in the Notional Principal Balance of the Class S-II Component, the “Conversion Date”), and (ii) the other Corresponding REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interest corresponding to such Mortgage Loan (the “Excess Corresponding REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interest”) will have an initial principal balance equal to 50% of the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Cut Off Date and shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (a) two multiplied by (b) the Net Rate of such Mortgage Loan minus 1.63% until the Conversion Date and at a per annum rate equal to the Net Rate of such Loan on and after such Conversion Date. As a result, the two Corresponding REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interests corresponding to a Mortgage Loan collectively will provide for principal payments equal to those made on such Mortgage Loan and interest payments at the Net Rate of such Mortgage Loan. For this purpose, the Net Rate and Initial Adjustment Date for any Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the same as that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted.

On each Distribution Date, the Interest Funds for Group I and Group II in each case determined without regard to Pledged Prepayment Penalties, shall be distributed with respect to the REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interests at the rates described above.

In addition, on each Distribution Date:

•

the Principal Funds for Group I shall be distributed first to Class LT1-Initial-Grp I until its principal balance equals the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances as of the related Determination Date of the Group I Mortgage Loans that are not Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and then to the Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp I until the principal balance of such interest is reduced to zero;

•

the portion of the Principal Funds for Group II allocable to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in Group II shall be distributed to the Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp IIA and Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp IIB, pro rata, based upon the principal balances of such interests, until the principal balances of such interests are reduced to zero; and

•

the portion of the Principal Funds for Group II allocable to the Mortgage Loans in Group II that are not Subsequent Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Corresponding REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interests in amounts such that, following such distribution, the principal balance of each Corresponding REMIC 1 Regular Interest equals 50% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan to which it relates.

All Realized Losses with respect to Group I shall be allocated between the LT1-Initial-Grp I and Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp I Interests in the same manner as principal is allocated between such Interests. In addition, all Realized Losses with respect to Group II shall be allocated among the Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp IIA, Class LT1-Subsequent-Grp IIB and the Corresponding REMIC 1 Lower Tier Interests in the same manner as principal is allocated among such Interests.

SAXON ASSET SECURITIES COMPANY

NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

The Registered Holder named above is the owner of the Percentage Interest calculated as set forth below in the above mentioned Class of Certificates issued by the Trust (the “Trust”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2002 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Saxon Asset Securities Company (herein called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), Saxon Mortgage, Inc., as Master Servicer, Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., as Servicer, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth herein. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents and by which such Holder is bound.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Loan Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2002-3 (herein called the “Certificates”) and represents a Percentage Interest in the above mentioned Class of Certificates equal to the quotient, expressed as a percentage, obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified above by the Initial Principal Balance specified above of the above mentioned Class of Certificates. The Certificates are issued in multiple Classes designated as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

To the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”) is entitled to receive an amount equal to the product of such Person’s Percentage Interest and the Distribution Amount (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to the above mentioned Class of Certificates on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Distribution Date”), commencing in December 2002. All amounts distributable with respect to this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Distribution Account and related accounts shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Holders of the Certificates, such purposes including reimbursement of Advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.

So long as this Certificate is registered in the name of a clearing agency or its nominee, the Paying Agent will make distributions on this Certificate by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Clearing agency or its nominee. Otherwise, all distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be made by the Paying Agent either (i) by check mailed to the address of the Holder as it appears on the Certificate Register on the related Record Date or (ii) upon request to the Paying Agent in writing by the Record Date immediately prior to the Distribution Date of any Holder of Certificates of this Class having an aggregate initial principal amount equal to or in excess of $1,000,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder. A fee may be charged by the Paying Agent to a Certificateholder for any payment made by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of a pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at its principal Corporate Trust Office or such other offices or agencies appointed by the Paying Agent for that purpose and such other locations provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Trustee will duly and punctually make distributions with respect to this Certificate in accordance with the terms hereof and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a distribution to any Holder shall be considered as having been distributed to such Holder for all purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the Trustee and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to any limitations on transfer of this Certificate by a clearing agency or its nominee and certain limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee for that purpose and such other locations provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, duly endorsed by or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in the same aggregate principal balance will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates of this Class will be registered as one or more certificates held by a clearing agency or its nominee and beneficial interests will be held by Beneficial Owners through the book-entry facilities of such Clearing agency or its nominee in minimum denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for a new Certificate of the same Class in the same denomination. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the obligations created thereby will terminate upon the payment to the Holders of all Certificates of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to such Holders pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the last to occur of (a) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund, (b) the disposition of all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (c) at any time when a qualified liquidation of the Trust Fund is effected as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also provides that (i) on and after the Initial Optional Termination Date, the Master Servicer may purchase the Mortgage Loans then remaining in the Trust Fund and apply the proceeds of such sale to effect early retirement of the Certificates and (ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the Code the Mortgage Loans may be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The Trustee has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall be liable hereunder only in respect of the assets of the Trust.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed under its official seal.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In accordance with Section 2.3(a) of the Standard Terms of Custody Agreement (June 2000 Edition) (the “Standard Terms”) incorporated into the Custody Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2002 (together with the Standard Terms, the “Custody Agreement”), between Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as custodian (the “Custodian”), the Custodian hereby certifies that it has received and is holding a Mortgage File with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Mortgage Loan listed on the schedule of exceptions attached hereto) listed on Schedule I (a copy of which is attached hereto) to the Custody Agreement.

In connection therewith, the Custodian has examined each Mortgage File to confirm that:

(i)

no Note, on the face or the reverse side(s) thereof, contains evidence, except for the endorsement to the Custodian, of any unsatisfied claims, liens, security interests, encumbrances or restrictions on transfer;

(ii)

the Note bears an endorsement that appears to be an original either in blank or to the Custodian, as set forth substantially as follows “Without Recourse, pay to the order of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Custodian or Trustee”;

(iii)

all documents required to be contained in the Mortgage File are in its possession;

(iv)

such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan and are not torn or mutilated; and

(v)

based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the mortgage information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File and each balance listed as the “Original Balance” on Schedule I to the Custody Agreement is identical to the original principal amount of the corresponding Note (or, if applicable, the amount set forth in a lost note affidavit).

The Custodian further certifies that the Custodian’s review of each Mortgage File included each of the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(a) of the Standard Terms.

The Custodian has not (1) inspected, reviewed or examined any such documents, instruments, securities or other papers to determine that they or the signatures thereon are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose, any such documents, instruments, securities or other papers have actually been recorded or that any document that appears to be an original is in fact an original, or (2) determined whether any Mortgage File should include any surety or guaranty, Note Assumption Rider, buydown agreement, assumption agreement, modification agreement, written assurance or substitution agreement.

Under penalties of perjury, I, the undersigned, declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete:

I am a duly authorized officer of [ ], a [ ] (the “Transferee”) and on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

The Transferee is acquiring all or a portion of the Class R Certificates (the “Residual Certificates”), which represent a residual interest in one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) for which elections are to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Transferee either is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a domestic partnership or corporation, (iii) an estate or trust that is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of its income, or (iv) a foreign person who would be subject to United States income taxation on a net basis on income derived from the Residual Certificates (a “U.S. Person”).

The Transferee is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and the Transferee is not acquiring a Residual Certificate for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership to, a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing; (ii) any organization (other than a ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ cooperative as defined in section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from federal income taxation (including taxation under the unrelated business taxable income provisions of the Code); (iii) any rural telephone or electrical service cooperative described in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code; or (iv) any other entity so designated by Treasury rulings or regulations promulgated or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof. In addition, a corporation will not be treated as an instrumentality of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof if all its activities are subject to tax and, with the exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit.

The Transferee agrees to consent to any amendment of the Trust Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by Saxon (upon the advice of counsel to Saxon) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that no interest in a Residual Certificate will be owned directly or indirectly by a Disqualified Organization.

The Transferee acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the Transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2002, by and among Saxon Asset Securities Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this instrument to be executed by its duly authorized representative as of the [__] day of [ ] 200[ ].
