(b) On or before March 1st of each calendar year beginning with March 1, 2009, the
Custodian shall, at its own expense, cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other

accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.
On or before March 1st of each calendar year, beginning with March 1, 2009, the Custodian shall

year prior to the year of delivery of the report, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act

assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such party, (b) a statement that such party used

of them may sustain directly relating to (a) any breach by the Custodian of its obligations under this
Section 4(b), including particularly its obligations to provide any assessment of compliance or attestation report
required to be included in any 1934 Act report, (b) any misstatement or omission in any assessment of compliance
or attestation report provided by the Custodian or any Subcontractor, or (c) the negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the Custodian in connection with its performance under this Section 4(b). If the indemnification
11
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then the Custodian
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any
claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Custodian on the other. This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of the Custodian.
If so requested by the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator, Depositor or Indenture
Trustee, on any date following the Closing Date, the Custodian shall within (5) five Business Days following such
request, confirm in accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 28 or, if any such
representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide reasonably adequate
disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party. Any such request shall not be given more
than once each calendar quarter, unless such requesting party has a reasonable basis for a determination that any
of the representations and warranties may not be accurate.
For so long as the Notes are outstanding, for the purpose of satisfying the Depositor's, Master
Servicer's and Securities Administrator's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to any class
of Notes, the Custodian shall (a) notify the Depositor, Master Servicer and Securities Administrator in writing
of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Custodian that would be material to
the holder of a Note, and (b) provide to the Depositor, Master Servicer and Securities Administrator, a written
description of such proceedings. Any notices and descriptions required under this paragraph shall be given no
later than five Business Days prior to the Determination Date following the month in which the Custodian has
knowledge of the occurrence of the relevant event. As of the date the Depositor, Master Servicer or Securities
Administrator files each Report on Form 10-D or Form 10-K with respect to the Notes, the Custodian will be deemed
to represent that any information previously provided under this Section 4, if any, is materially correct and
does not have any material omissions unless the Custodian has provided an update to such information.

review, shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and
the Seller), a Final Trust Receipt to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan (a) paid in full, or (b) specifically identified on such Final Trust Receipt
as not covered by such Final Trust Receipt), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 5
of this Agreement are in its possession; (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their
face and relate to such Mortgage Loan; (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the
information set forth in items (i), (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), and (xxvi) of the definition of Mortgage Loan
Schedule respecting such Mortgage Loan accurately reflects the information on the Mortgage Loan
12
Schedule; and (v) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement and each
Mortgage has been assigned in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement.
Section 6. Future Defects.
During the term of this Agreement, if the Custodian discovers any defect with respect to the
Custodial File, the Custodian shall give written specification of such defect to the Master Servicer, the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for
completing or correcting any missing, incomplete or inconsistent documents, causing any other person or entity to
do so or notifying any person that any such action has or has not been taken.
Section 7. Release for Servicing.
From time to time and as appropriate for the foreclosure or servicing of any of the Mortgage
Loans, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of two copies (or electronic receipt) from the Servicer of a request for
release of Custodial File and receipt in the form similar to the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3, or such other
form in electronic format acceptable to the Custodian, within five (5) Business Days release to the Servicer, the
related Custodial File. All Custodial Files so released to the Servicer shall be held in trust by the Servicer
for the sole benefit of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall
return to the Custodian the Custodial File when the Servicer's need therefor in connection with such foreclosure
or servicing no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated in which case, upon receipt of an
additional request for release of Custodial File and receipt certifying such liquidation in the form similar to
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3, or such other form in electronic format acceptable to the Custodian, the
request and receipt submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7 shall be released by the Custodian
to the Servicer. In connection with the Servicer's processing of a payoff request for a Mortgage Loan, if
required by the Servicer in order to calculate the prepayment penalties, if any, to be charged in connection with
such payoff, the Servicer may submit a request for release of Custodial File and receipt in the form similar to
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3, with item (5) checked (or some other form in electronic format acceptable
to the Custodian, indicating the same information) and stating that the Servicer requests a copy of the note
rider or other document in the Custodial File describing the prepayment penalty. The Custodian will provide to
the Servicer a facsimile (or other electronic copy) of the document so requested within 48 hours following the
receipt of such request, however the Custodian will use reasonable efforts to provide such requested documents as
soon as possible following receipt of such requests; provided that, if the Custodian receives more than fifty
(50) such payoff requests on any single Business Day, the Custodian will use reasonable efforts to provide such
requested documents as soon as practicable following receipt of such requests.
In addition, from time to time and as requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian is
hereby authorized, upon written receipt of two copies (or electronic receipt) from the Indenture Trustee, of a
request for release of Custodial File in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3, or such other form
in electronic format acceptable to the Custodian, to release to the Indenture Trustee or its designee the related
Custodial File. In order to facilitate the administration of certain customary servicing functions with respect
13
to any Mortgage Loans for which the related Mortgage has been assigned to the Indenture Trustee as provided
herein, the Indenture Trustee shall simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and
thereafter from time to time upon request of the Servicer, execute and deliver a reasonable number of originals
of a limited power of attorney, appointing as attorney-in-fact either the Servicer or, at the Servicer's
discretion, an agent of the Servicer, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9. The Servicer shall
indemnify the Trust fund, the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors and agents for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever,
including reasonable attorney's fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trust fund or
the Indenture Trustee as a result of the Servicer's misuse of such power of attorney and/or the release of any
Mortgage Loans or Custodial Files to the Servicer or the retention of the Mortgage Loans and Custodial Files by
the Servicer or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, the Servicer shall not be liable to any of the
foregoing Persons for any amount and any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence of such Person. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and/or the termination or resignation of the Servicer.
In addition to the foregoing releases, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of two copies (or
electronic receipt) from a Seller of a request for release in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3, or such other
form in electronic format acceptable to the Custodian, within five (5) Business Days release to such Seller the
Custodial File for each Mortgage Loan for purposes of submitting such assignment for recordation.
Section 8. Release for Payment.
Upon receipt by the Custodian of two copies (or electronic receipt) from the Servicer of the
Servicer's request for release of Custodial File and receipt in the form similar to the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit 3, or such other form (which may be in electronic format) acceptable to the Custodian, (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection
with such payment, repurchase or liquidation have been or will be credited to the related custodial account), the
Custodian shall within five (5) Business Days release the related Custodial File to the Servicer.
In the event that the Servicer does not request the release of the mortgage files, then upon
receipt by the Custodian of two copies (or electronic receipt) from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer's
request for release of Custodial File and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3, or such other form
acceptable to the Custodian, (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment, repurchase or liquidation have been or will be
credited to the Distribution Account), the Custodian shall within five (5) Business Days release the related
Custodial File to the Master Servicer.

Custodian, with cause, from the performance of its duties under this Agreement by written notice from the
Indenture Trustee to the Custodian, with a copy to the Servicer; provided however, if the Custodian fails to
deliver any information, certifications or reports required under Section 4, the Indenture Trustee may remove and
discharge the Custodian immediately upon written notice to the Custodian with a copy to the Servicer. Having
given notice of such removal, the Indenture Trustee promptly shall appoint a successor Custodian to act on behalf
of the Indenture Trustee by written instrument, one original counterpart of which instrument shall be retained by
the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to the Servicer, and an original to the successor Custodian. In the event of
any such removal, the Custodian shall, upon the Indenture Trustee's surrender of the Trust Receipt and Initial
Certification and Final Trust Receipt, as applicable, promptly transfer to the successor Custodian, as directed,
all Custodial Files being administered under this Agreement. In the event of any such removal and appointment

deductibles, all as is customary for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as a custodian. The
15
minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policies shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts
required by FNMA in the FNMA Servicing Guide or by FHLMC in the FHLMC Sellers' & Servicers' Guide. Upon request,
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such
insurance is in full force and effect.
Section 14. Counterparts.
For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this Agreement as herein provided and for
other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which

until the Custodian shall have received written instructions from the Indenture Trustee with respect to a
Custodial File without incurring any liability therefor to the Indenture Trustee or any other Person.

officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action or omission to act hereunder except for its or their

(g) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability (other than expenses or liabilities otherwise required to be
incurred by the express terms of this Agreement) in the performance of its duties under this Agreement if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity is not reasonably
assured to it.
(h) Any corporation into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Custodian shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Custodian shall be the successor

(e) The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only be such as are expressly set
forth in this Agreement or as set forth in a written amendment to this Agreement executed by the parties hereto
or their successors and assigns. In the event that any provision of this Agreement implies or requires that

acting. In no event shall the Custodian have any responsibility to ascertain or take action except as expressly
provided herein.

qualify to do business in any jurisdiction, other than (i) any jurisdiction where any Mortgage Loan is or may be
held by the Custodian from time to time hereunder, and (ii) any jurisdiction where its ownership of property or
conduct of business requires such qualification and where failure to qualify could have a material adverse effect
on the Custodian or its property or business or on the ability of the Custodian to perform it duties hereunder.
(g) The Custodian shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not any cash amount or
payment has been received by the Indenture Trustee, any Servicer or any third person.

Mortgage Loan; (xvii) have a credit score not less than that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event
that one or more mortgage loans are substituted for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the amounts
described in clause (i) hereof shall be determined on the basis of aggregate principal balances, the
terms described in clauses, (ii), (vi) and (xvii) hereof shall be determined on the basis of weighted

provided in this sentence, the representations and warranties described in clause (x) hereof must be
satisfied as to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or in the aggregate, as the case may be.

required by Section 2 of this Agreement, as applicable, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that
each such Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Custodian on behalf of the
2

Days thereafter, review such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Master

behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer a

applicable exceptions noted thereon.

Deleted Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the "Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if any, by
which the aggregate purchase price of all such Deleted Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Substitute
Mortgage Loan, the scheduled principal balance thereof as of the Due Date in the month of substitution, together
with one month's interest on such scheduled principal balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all
outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances) related thereto. On the date of
such substitution, the applicable Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator
for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the
Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of the related Substitute
Mortgage Loan(s) and certification by the Securities Administrator of such deposit and receipt by the Custodian
of a properly completed request for release for such Mortgage Loan in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 3, shall
release to such Seller the related Custodial File(s) and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as such Seller
shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Loan released pursuant hereto.
