(a)

In consideration of the Issuer’s delivery of the Notes and the Trust Certificate to the Depositor or its designee, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse, subject to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 3.03 and 3.04, in trust, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Estate. The Indenture Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in Section 2.02, it has received and shall hold the Trust Estate, as Indenture Trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Securityholders and for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Indenture. Concurrently with such receipt, the Issuer has issued and delivered the Securities to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Estate.

Upon the issuance of the Securities, ownership in the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Issuer, subject to the lien created by the Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Securityholders. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Indenture Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein.

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor, does hereby deliver on the Closing Date, unless otherwise specified in this Section 2.01, to, and deposit with the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian as its designated agent, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan (a “Mortgage File”) so transferred and assigned:

(i)

(ii)

[Reserved];

(iii)

except as provided below, for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, and in the case of each MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN for that Mortgage Loan and either language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, or if such Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination, the original Mortgage and the assignment to MERS, in each case with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has been submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy of such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller certifying that the copy of such Mortgage delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) is a true copy and that the original of such Mortgage has been forwarded to the public recording office, or, in the case of a Mortgage that has been lost, a copy thereof (certified as provided for under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction) and a written Opinion of Counsel (delivered at the Seller’s expense) acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor that an original recorded Mortgage is not required to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Mortgage Loan;

(iv)

the original of each assumption, modification or substitution agreement, if any, relating to the Mortgage Loans, or, as to any assumption, modification or substitution agreement which cannot be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such assumption, modification or substitution agreement has been delivered for recordation, a photocopy of such assumption, modification or substitution agreement, pending delivery of the original thereof, together with an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller certifying that the copy of such assumption, modification or substitution agreement delivered to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Issuer is a true copy and that the original of such agreement has been forwarded to the public recording office;

(v)

in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, an original Assignment of Mortgage, in form and substance acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned to “U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee for New York Mortgage Trust 2005-1, without recourse”;

(vi)

in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, an original copy of any intervening Assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignments, or, in the case of an intervening Assignment of Mortgage that has been lost, a written Opinion of Counsel (delivered at the Seller’s expense) acceptable to the Indenture Trustee that such original intervening Assignment of Mortgage is not required to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Mortgage Loans;

(vii)

the original Primary Insurance Policy, if any, or certificate, if any;

(viii)

the original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy; and

(ix)

with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Loan Documents.

In connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will take (or shall cause the applicable Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary to cause the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture for the benefit of the Securityholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the series of the Notes issued in connection with the transfer of such Mortgage Loans to the New York Mortgage Trust 2005-1.

With respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Seller, on behalf of the Depositor does hereby deliver to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee the related Cooperative Loan Documents and the Seller will take (or shall cause the applicable Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer) such actions as are necessary under applicable law (including but not limited to the relevant UCC) in order to perfect the interest of the Indenture Trustee in the related Mortgaged Property.

Assignments of each Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) shall be recorded; provided, however, that such assignments need not be recorded if, in the Opinion of Counsel (which must be from Independent Counsel and not at the expense of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Master Servicer, recording in such states is not required to protect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loans; provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each Assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by the Seller (or the Seller will cause the applicable Servicer to submit each such assignment for recording), at the cost and expense of the Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense to the Issuer or Indenture Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (1) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller or the Depositor, or (2) with respect to any one Assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable recording office), the Seller shall properly record (or the Seller will cause the applicable Servicer to properly record), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Master Servicer), in each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded, each assignment referred to in Section 2.01(v) above with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A-1 hereto, which may provide for exceptions for Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loans.

If the original lender’s title insurance policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(viii) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee the original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, but in any case within 175 days of the Closing Date. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold to the Depositor by the Seller, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

For Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the Indenture Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account have been so deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall be held by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer in trust for the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Securityholders.

Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller shall have 90 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

Section 2.02

Acceptance of Trust Estate; Review of Documentation.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, acknowledges receipt of the assets transferred by the Depositor and included in the Trust Estate and has directed that the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” be delivered to the applicable Custodian on its behalf.

The Indenture Trustee hereby shall cause each Custodian hereunder to acknowledge the receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” and shall cause each Custodian to declare that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Estate” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Securityholders.

The Indenture Trustee further agrees to cause each Custodian, for the benefit of the Securityholders, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it and to certify and deliver to the Depositor, the Issuer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and Rating Agency an interim certification in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, within 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within five Business Days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be reviewed by it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (ii), (iii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xviii) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, neither Custodian is under a duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, valid, enforceable, sufficient, nor shall the Indenture Trustee have any responsibility to cause either Custodian to determine the perfection or priority of any instrument appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded, are in recordable form sufficient to be recorded, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall cause each Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Seller a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-3 evidencing the completeness of the applicable Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, either Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not conforming to the requirements as specifically set forth herein, at the conclusion of such Custodian’s review the Indenture Trustee shall cause the applicable Custodian to promptly notify the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller or the Depositor (or upon receipt by either Custodian of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Securityholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee, any Custodian or the Noteholders of any unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any Mortgagor.

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to each Custodian and the Indenture Trustee shall cause each Custodian to acknowledge a receipt of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and each Servicing Agreement.

Section 2.03

Grant Clause.

(a)

It is intended that the conveyance by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate, as provided for in Section 2.01 be construed as a sale by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate for the benefit of the Securityholders. Further, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate by the Depositor to the Issuer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate are held to be property of the Depositor or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate, then it is intended that (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC (or the Relevant UCC if not the New York UCC); (b) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and (C) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all Liquidation Proceeds, all Insurance Proceeds, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account, the Certificate Account, the Note Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Issuer of any security interest in any and all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (C); (c) the possession by the Indenture Trustee or any other agent of the Issuer of Mortgage Notes, and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and any other Relevant UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

(b)

The Depositor and, at the Depositor’s direction, the Seller and the Issuer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust Estate, 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 this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Issuer’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuer, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor or (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan.

(c)

Neither the Depositor nor the Issuer shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee. Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuer proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate transferees, including the Indenture Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture, each of the Depositor and the Issuer authorizes its immediate transferee, to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this Section 2.03(b).

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the related Originator to cure or to repurchase any Originator Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing, and to indemnify the Trust Estate, if applicable, shall constitute the sole remedy against such Originator respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Securityholders.

The Purchase Price or Repurchase Price (as defined in the related Purchase Agreement) for a Mortgage Loan repurchased under this Section 3.03 or such other amount due shall be deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s or the related Originator’s obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan arises. The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of written certification in the form of Exhibit B hereto from the Master Servicer of the related deposit in the Collection Account, shall release to the Seller or the related Originator, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller or the related Originator, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or the related Originator, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Indenture and the Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Estate (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.03(f) below.

(d)

If pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03(b), the Seller repurchases or otherwise removes from the Trust Estate a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller will take (or shall cause the applicable Servicer to take), at the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

(e)

[Reserved].

(f)

Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 3.03(b) above must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Indenture Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01 hereof, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution; provided, however, that, in the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall provide such documents and take such other action with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. The Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 hereof and deliver with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, with any exceptions noted thereon. Within 180 days of the date of substitution, the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to such Seller and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Estate and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, payments to Securityholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Securityholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Estate and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller all representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 hereof, in each case as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall determine, and provide written certification to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor as to, the amount (each, a “Substitution Adjustment”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate. On or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s obligation to repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

To the extent that the Seller fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Section 3.03, NYMT shall immediately comply with such obligations; provided, that NYMT’s obligations under this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Section 4.01

Master Servicer to Service and Administer the Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 5.10 and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the related Servicing Accounts pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property, which limited powers of attorney shall provide that the Indenture Trustee will not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Servicers or Master Servicer in exercising such powers.

The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Custodian to provide access to the records and documentation in possession of each Custodian regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Securityholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the applicable Custodian; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Indenture Trustee shall not require the either Custodian to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would, in the applicable Custodian’s reasonable judgment, violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Custodian to allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall cause the applicable Custodian to provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the applicable Custodian’s actual costs.

The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Custodian to execute (but not prepare) and deliver to the related Servicer and the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or equity.

The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Issuer) and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b)

The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Securityholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer which the Master Servicer shall cause the Indenture Trustee to acknowledge; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c)

To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, or are not required to be reimbursed by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection Account.

(d)

The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.

(e)

If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.

Section 4.04

Power to Act; Procedures. The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Securityholders and the Indenture 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, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate, in its own name, on behalf the Indenture Trustee, or in the name of the Indenture Trustee, foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 4.02, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Issuer or the Securityholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Securityholders under this Agreement and the Indenture. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Issuer and the Securityholders 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. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any limited powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). In instituting foreclosures or similar proceedings, the Master Servicer shall institute such proceedings either in its own name on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or in the name of the Indenture Trustee (or cause the related Servicer, pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, to institute such proceedings either in the name of such Servicer on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or in the name of the Indenture Trustee), unless otherwise required by law or otherwise appropriate. If the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on its behalf or the Issuer, as applicable, would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Indenture Trustee, in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Indenture. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Indenture Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Indenture Trustee. Under no circumstance shall the Indenture Trustee have any responsibility or liability for the Master Servicer’s actions or omissions in instances in which the Master Servicer is taking action in the name of the Indenture Trustee.

Section 4.05

Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreement.

To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement and to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.06

Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon (i) becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will, or will cause the related Servicer to, promptly notify the applicable Custodian by a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the related Servicing Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 5.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the applicable Custodian deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. The Indenture Trustee shall cause the applicable Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer upon receipt of such certification and request, and the Indenture Trustee and applicable Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the related Servicing Account.

(b)

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause each Custodian to execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Custodian by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Indenture Trustee shall cause, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the applicable Custodian of one copy of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit B (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), the applicable Custodian to release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the applicable Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists (as determined by such Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable) unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the applicable Custodian, to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.

Section 4.07

Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Indenture Trustee.

(a)

The Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the applicable Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the applicable Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the applicable Custodian and the Securityholders subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account the Master Servicing Fee, any additional compensation pursuant to Section 4.12 and any other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and any other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall cause each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the applicable Custodian, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Securityholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b)

All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (or in the case of the Mortgage Files, the applicable Custodian) and the Securityholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Issuer; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.08

Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

(a)

For each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreements to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the related Servicing Agreements. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

(b)

Pursuant to Section 5.01 and 5.02, any amounts collected by the Servicers or the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.02 and 5.03. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Securityholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.02 and 5.03.

Section 4.09

Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies.

(a)

The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan (including any lender-paid Primary Insurance Policy) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(b)

The Master Servicer agrees to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Securityholders, 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. Pursuant to Section 5.01 and 5.02, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.03.

Section 4.10

Indenture Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.

The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Custodian to retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Notes have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the applicable Custodian to also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Custodian upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

Section 4.11

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged 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, all in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.12

Compensation to the Master Servicer.

All income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional compensation. Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise shall be retained by the applicable Servicer, or the Master Servicer, and shall not be deposited in the related Servicing Account or Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement. The amount of the aggregate compensation payable as set forth in this Section 4.12 plus the Master Servicing Fee due to the Master Servicer in respect of any Payment Date shall be reduced in accordance with Section 5.12.

Section 4.13

REO Property.

(a)

In the event the Issuer acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Indenture Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Securityholders. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable Servicer, to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to such extent required by the applicable Servicing Agreement.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited all funds collected and received by it, or recovered from any Servicer, in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Collection Account.

(c)

The Master Servicer and each Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing Fees or Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing Fees or Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

(d)

The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be deposited into the Note Account on the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date.

Section 4.14

Annual Officer’s Certificate as to Compliance.

(a)

The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agency on or before March 1 of each year, commencing in March, 2006, an Officer’s Certificate, certifying that with respect to the period ending December 31 of the prior year: (i) such Servicing Officer has reviewed the activities of such Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and its performance under this Agreement, (ii) to the best of such Servicing Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such Master Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to believe that any Servicer has failed to perform any of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under its Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof.

(b)

Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Securityholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Indenture Trustee at the Master Servicer’s expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Indenture Trustee with such statement or (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such statement).

Section 4.15

Annual Independent Accountant’s Servicing Report.

If the Master Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal year, directly serviced any of the Mortgage Loans, then the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish a statement to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agency and the Depositor on or before March 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2006 to the effect that, with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such firm has examined certain records and documents relating to the Master Servicer’s performance of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and servicing and trust agreements in material respects similar to this Agreement and to each other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac or the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer’s activities have been conducted in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Securityholder upon request by the Master Servicer, or by the Indenture Trustee at the expense of the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such copies. If such report discloses exceptions that are material, the Master Servicer shall advise the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee whether such exceptions have been or are susceptible of cure, and will take prompt action to do so.

Section 4.16

Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.

Within 10 days after each Payment Date, the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“▇▇▇▇▇”), a Form 8-K (or other comparable Form containing the same or comparable information or other information mutually agreed upon) and shall furnish a copy of the Payment Date Statement for such Payment Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30, 2006, the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Issuer, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 31, 2006 or such earlier date as such filing may be required under the rules of the Commission and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 31 of each year thereafter, or such earlier date as such filing may be required under the rules of the Commission, the Master Servicer shall provide a Master Servicer Certification, together with a copy of the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance of each Servicer, in each case, required to be delivered pursuant to its Servicing Agreement, and, if applicable, the annual independent accountant’s servicing report and annual statement of compliance to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.15.

Such Form 10-K shall include the Master Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second preceding sentence. The Depositor hereby grants to the Master Servicer a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Master Servicer from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Issuer. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Master Servicer, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Master Servicer reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 4.16; provided, however, the Master Servicer will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Issuer as the Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Copies of all reports filed by the Master Servicer under the Exchange Act shall be sent to the Depositor and the Issuer. Fees and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with this Section 4.16 shall not be reimbursable by the Issuer or from the Trust Estate.

The Holder of the Trust Certificate will have the option to purchase, at any one time, 1.00% (and in any case, at least 5 Mortgage Loans) of the Mortgage Loans, by aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of such date, at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Mortgage Loans that may be purchased by the Holder of the Trust Certificate pursuant to this paragraph will be selected by the Holder of the Trust Certificate in its sole discretion. If at any time the Holder of the Trust Certificate exercises such option, it shall immediately notify or cause to be notified the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Custodian by a certification in the form of Exhibit B (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.02 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File.

Section 4.18

Optional Purchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a)

NYMF shall have the right to purchase from the Issuer any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a calendar quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided however (i) that such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related calendar quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the related calendar quarter.

(b)

If at any time NYMF or NYMT remits to the Master Servicer a payment for deposit in the Collection Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for a Mortgage Loan of the type set forth in clause (a) above and NYMF or NYMT, as applicable, provides to the Indenture Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Collection Account, then the Indenture Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of NYMF or NYMT, without recourse to NYMF or NYMT, as applicable, which shall succeed to all the Issuer’s and/or the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. NYMF or NYMT, as applicable, will thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all such security and documents, free of the lien of the Indenture and of any further obligation to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders with respect thereto.

Section 4.19

Closing Certificate and Opinion.

On or before the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, and Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. an Opinion of Counsel, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., and the Seller as to the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and the enforceability thereof.

(b)

Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Master Servicer hereunder, 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.

(a)

The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons (other than the Master Servicer) for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to expenses) (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement or the Securities (i) related to the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement, excluding Subsection (b) below) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), an Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after such Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof. The Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification hereunder unless such failure to give notice materially prejudices the Master Servicer’s defense to (or ability to defend against) such claim or action. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer and the termination of this Agreement.

(b)

The Issuer will indemnify any Indemnified Person for any loss, liability or expense of any Indemnified Person not otherwise indemnified by the Master Servicer that is referred to in Subsection (a) above.

(c)

In addition to its obligations under Section 4.22(a), the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons (other than the Master Servicer) for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to expenses) (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part (i) in connection with, arising out of, or relating to the Master Servicer’s failure to file a Form 10-K in accordance with Section 4.16, (ii) by reason of the Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of such obligations pursuant to Section 4.16 or (iii) by reason of the Master Servicer’s reckless disregard of such obligations pursuant to Section 4.16, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), an Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer written notice thereof promptly after such Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof. The Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification hereunder unless such failure to give notice materially prejudices the Master Servicer’s defense to (or ability to defend against) such claim or action. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.23

Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.

Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 4.22:

(a)

Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Issuer or the Securityholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

(b)

The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

(c)

(d)

The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Issuer and the Securityholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Issuer, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account as provided by Section 5.02.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Independent Opinion of Counsel (delivered at the expense of the Master Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

(c)

The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) each Trust Account and the Certificate Account are accounts to which Financial Assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to any Trust Account, and the Issuer, as collateral agent, as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to the Certificate Account, (B) all Trust Account Property in respect of any Trust Account or the Certificate Account will be promptly credited by the Securities Intermediary to the applicable account, and (C) all securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Trust Account or the Certificate Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case (x) will any Financial Asset credited to any Trust Account be registered in the name of the Depositor or the Issuer, payable to the order of the Depositor or the Issuer or specially endorsed to the Depositor or the Issuer, or (y) will any Financial Asset credited to the Certificate Account be registered in the name of the Depositor, payable to the order of the Depositor or specially endorsed to the Depositor, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank;

If at any time the Indenture Trustee notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that the Issuer has been terminated or the Indenture discharged in accordance herewith and with the Trust Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable, and the security interest granted pursuant to the Indenture has been released, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Depositor or the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Indenture Trustee or any other Person;

If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement Order from the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Certificate Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Depositor or any other Person;

(f)

In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Trust Account or the Certificate Account or any Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee, in the case of the Trust Accounts, or of the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Account.

The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Accounts or of the Issuer in the Certificate Account, and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing; and

(i)

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Depositor and the Issuer agree that the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Account will be established only with the Securities Intermediary or another institution meeting the requirements of this Section, which by acceptance of its appointment as Securities Intermediary agrees substantially as follows: (1) it will comply with Entitlement Orders related to the Trust Accounts issued by the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, without further consent by the Depositor or the Issuer, and with Entitlement Orders related to the Certificate Account issued by the Issuer, as collateral agent, without further consent by the Depositor; (2) until termination of the Trust or discharge of the Indenture, it will not enter into any other agreement related to such accounts pursuant to which it agrees to comply with Entitlement Orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent with respect to the Trust Accounts or the Issuer, as collateral agent with respect to the Certificate Account; and (3) all assets delivered or credited to it in connection with such accounts and all investments thereof will be promptly credited to the applicable account.

(j)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall have the power to instruct the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Administrator to make withdrawals and distributions from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Administrator to carry out their respective duties under the Operative Agreements.

(k)

The Issuer agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments (including, without limitation, any financing statements under the Relevant UCC or this Agreement) as may be necessary to perfect the interests created by this Section in favor of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and otherwise fully to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section. The Issuer shall:

(i)

promptly execute, deliver and file any financing statements, amendments, continuation statements, assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to such interests and perform all such other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the perfection of the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Account Property; and

Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuer proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate transferees, including the Indenture Trustee, in the Trust Account Property. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements relating to the Trust Account Property, each of the Depositor and the Issuer authorizes its immediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee, to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this Section 5.09.

None of the Securities Intermediary or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary shall be under any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders or any other person or for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Securities Intermediary against any liability to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Securityholders which would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Securities Intermediary’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder. The Securities Intermediary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of such document. The Issuer shall indemnify the Securities Intermediary for and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability, except in those cases where the Securities Intermediary has been guilty of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Securities Intermediary.

The Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to all of the protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities afforded to the Indenture Trustee under Article VI of the Indenture.

ARTICLE VI

MASTER SERVICER EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 6.01

Master Servicer Events of Default; Indenture Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a)

If any one of the following events (each, a “Master Servicer Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(i)

the failure by the Master Servicer to make any Advance or to deposit in the Collection Account or Note Account any deposit required to be made by it or failure to remit to the Trust Administrator any other payment required to be made by the Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer;

(ii)

the failure by the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Master Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days (or, in the case of a breach of its obligation to provide a Master Servicer Certification pursuant to Section 4.16, 30 days), in each case after the date (A) on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate Class Principal Amount of all Classes of Notes or (B) on which a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of such failure; or

(iii)

the entry against the Master Servicer of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 days; or

(iv)

the Master Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, 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, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or 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;

(b)

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Majority Securityholders, or at its option may, by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Master Servicer shall also be given to the Rating Agency, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Seller. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer (and by the Indenture Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Indenture Trustee of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice and the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Note Account or any Servicing Account or that have been deposited by the Master Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Master Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Master Servicer’s duties and the Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (or if the predecessor Master Servicer is the Indenture Trustee, the initial Master Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any liability it may have incurred prior to such termination.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 6.01(a) shall occur, the Indenture Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately suspend all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Securityholder or to reimbursement of outstanding Advances or other amounts for which the Master Servicer was entitled to reimbursement as of the date of termination, and the Indenture Trustee shall act as provided in Section 6.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 6.01(a). Any such action taken by the Indenture Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Payment Date. If the Master Servicer shall within two Business Days following such suspension remit to the Indenture Trustee the amount of any Advance the nonpayment of which by the Master Servicer was a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 6.01(a) and accrued interest covering the period of suspension on the amount of such Advance at Deutsche Bank’s prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 300 basis points, the Indenture Trustee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, shall permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer agrees that it will reimburse the Indenture Trustee for actual, necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Indenture Trustee because of action taken pursuant to this subsection. The Master Servicer agrees that if a Master Servicer Event of Default as described in clause (i) of Section 6.01(a) shall occur more than two times in any 12 month period, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder.

Section 6.02

Indenture Trustee to Act.

(a)

From and after the date the Master Servicer (and the Indenture Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders of the Notes) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Master Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Master Servicer or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Master Servicer shall not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Notes by any Rating Agency as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agency. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Master Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 4.12. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 4.08 or to indemnify the Indenture Trustee pursuant to of this Agreement), nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b)

Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the Master Servicer as Master Servicer shall during the term of its service as Master Servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Securityholders, and maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 4.03.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Master Servicer to act as successor Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

Section 6.03

Waiver of Master Servicer Event of Default.

The Majority Securityholders may, on behalf of all Securityholders, by notice in writing to the Indenture Trustee, direct the Indenture Trustee to waive any events permitting removal of any Master Servicer under this Agreement. Upon any waiver of a Master Servicer Event of Default, such event shall cease to exist and any Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Rating Agency.

Section 6.04

Notification to Holders.

Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to any Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VI or Section 4.25, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Securityholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register, the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agency.

No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee becomes aware, the Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders notice of such occurrence unless such Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been waived or cured.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.04

Procedure Upon Termination.

(a)

Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.03, specifying the Payment Date upon which the final distribution shall be made, shall be given promptly by the Trust Administrator by first class mail to Securityholders. Such notice shall specify (A) the Payment Date upon which final distribution on the Securities of all amounts required to be distributed to Securityholders will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Securities at the Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Securities at the office or agency of the Trust Administrator therein specified. The Trust Administrator shall give such notice to the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Note Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the Securities. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Note Registrar and the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Notes and the Trust Certificate, respectively, shall terminate and the Trust Administrator shall terminate or request the Master Servicer to terminate, the Trust Accounts, the Certificate Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Securities, subject to the Trust Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Securityholders in trust without interest pending such payment.

In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Securities for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trust Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Securityholders to surrender their Securities for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice any Securities shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, pay over to the Issuer all amounts distributable to such Holders and such Holders shall look only to the Issuer for payment. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trust Administrator and not distributed to a Securityholder due to such Securityholder’s failure to surrender its Securities for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.

(vii)

Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage Note and each Mortgaged Property is owned by the Mortgagor in fee simple (except with respect to common areas in the case of condominiums, PUDs and de minimis PUDs) or by leasehold for a term at least 10 years longer than the term of the related Mortgage, subject only to (1) the lien of nondelinquent current real property taxes and assessments, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the related Mortgage Loan, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject that do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage;

(viii)

(xii)

neither any improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property, nor the Mortgaged Property itself, is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation, or subdivision law or ordinance;

(xiv)

the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage have not been impaired, altered or modified in any material respect, except that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the owner of such Mortgage Loan or the Notes and which has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee;

(xv)

a lender's policy of title insurance (on an ALTA or CLTA form) or binder, or other assurance of title customary in the relevant jurisdiction therefor in a form acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, which policy insures NYMF and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage as to the first lien priority of the Mortgage Loan subject to the standard exceptions set forth therein, together with a condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, and an 8.1 ALTA environmental endorsement or equivalent endorsement in an amount at least equal to the original principal balance of each such Mortgage Loan or a commitment binder, commitment to issue the same or preliminary policy affirmatively insuring ingress and egress and insuring against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property on the standard ALTA form, was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect;

(xvi)

at the time of origination, each Mortgaged Property was the subject of an appraisal on Form 1004 or Form 2055 with an interior inspection which conformed to the underwriting requirements of the originator of the Mortgage Loan;

(xvii)

if for any Mortgage Loan the related Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (C) the maximum amount of coverage that is available under federal law; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance, including flood insurance, at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

(xviii)

the improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy which policy provides for fire extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located representing coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (A) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (B) the outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, but in no event an amount less than an amount that is required to prevent the Mortgagor from being deemed to be a co-insurer thereunder;

(xix)

(xx)

the information set forth under the caption “The Mortgage Pool—General” in the Prospectus Supplement is true and correct in all material respects;

(xxi)

with respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by a leasehold estate:

(a)

The leasehold created by direct lease of the freehold estate, the ground lease or memorandum thereof has been recorded, and by its terms permits the leasehold estate to be mortgaged. The ground lease grants any leasehold mortgagee standard protections necessary to protect the security of a leasehold mortgagee including the right of the leasehold mortgagee to receive notice of the lessee's default under the ground lease; the right of the leasehold mortgagee, with adequate time, to cure such default; and, in the case of incurable defaults of the lessee, the right of the leasehold mortgagee to enter into a new ground lease with the lessor on terms financially identical and otherwise substantially identical to the existing ground lease;

(b)

The ground lease was made at the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and is in full force and effect without any outstanding defaults, and was and is not subject to liens and encumbrances;

(c)

The ground lease has an original term which extends not less than ten (10) years beyond the term of the Mortgage; and

(d)

The fee estate of the lessor under the ground lease is encumbered by the ground lease, and any lien of any present or future fee mortgagee is and will be subject to and subordinate to the ground lease. The foreclosure of the fee mortgage will not terminate the leasehold estate or the rights of the sub tenants, and the fee mortgage is subject to the ground lease;

(xxii)

each of the Mortgage and the assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;

(xxiii)

the Mortgagor has not notified NYMF, and NYMF has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act;

(xxiv)

none of the Mortgage Loans are reverse mortgage loans, graduated payment mortgage loans or growth equity mortgage loans. None of the Mortgage Loans provide for deferred interest or negative amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans are “buy down” mortgage loans;

(xxv)

the terms of the related Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, (x) if required by law in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, or (y) to protect the interests of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders;

(xxvi)

each Mortgage Loan was originated or purchased by (a) a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority (or originated by (i) a subsidiary of any of the foregoing institutions which subsidiary is actually supervised and examined by applicable regulatory authorities or (ii) a mortgage loan correspondent of any of the foregoing and that was originated pursuant to the criteria established by any of the foregoing) or (b) a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, as amended, in each case within the meaning of Section 3(a)(41)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act;

(xxvii)

NYMF has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;

(xxviii)

with respect to each Mortgage Loan, either (i) the Mortgage Loan is assumable pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, or (ii) the Mortgage Loan contains a customary provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

(xxix)

each Mortgage Loan complies with applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, including, without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement procedures, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act (“TILA”), disclosure laws and all applicable anti-predatory lending laws and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation, the receipt of interest by the owner of such Mortgage Loan, will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations; and
