Conveyance of Mortgage Loans

Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans to Issuer. (a) The Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, sells, transfers and assigns to the Issuer without recourse all its right, title and interest in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and all rights under the Related Documents; (ii) all funds on deposit from time to time in the Master Servicer Collection Account, excluding any investment income from such funds; (iii) all funds on deposit from time to time in the Payment Account and in all proceeds thereof; (iv) any REO Property; (v) all rights under (I) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as assigned to the Issuer to the extent provided in Section 2.03(a), (II) the Required Insurance Policies and any amounts paid or payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to the extent the mortgagee has a claim thereto) and (III) the rights with respect to the Servicing Agreements, each as assigned to the Issuer by the related Assignment Agreement; and (vi) any proceeds of the foregoing. Although it is the intent of the Depositor and the Issuer that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(b) In connection with such transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor shall deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, on behalf of the Issuer, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned:

(i) The original Mortgage Note endorsed, “Pay to the order of ___________, without recourse” and signed in the name of the name of last endorsee, by an authorized officer of the last endorsee. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the last endorsee in a merger or other type of acquisition, the endorsement must be by “[name of last endorsee], successor [by merger to or in interest to, as applicable] [name of predecessor]” and if the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the last endorsee while doing business under another name, the endorsement must be by “[name of last endorsee], successor in interest to [previous name].” The Mortgage Note shall include all intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of title from the originator to the last endorsee. A lost note affidavit (including a copy of the original Mortgage Note) may be delivered in lieu of the original Mortgage Note.

(ii) The original recorded Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon, or, if the original Mortgage has not yet been returned from the recording office, a copy of the original Mortgage certified by the previous owner to be a true copy of the original of the Mortgage which has been delivered for recording in the appropriate recording office of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

(iii) The original Assignment of Mortgage, executed in blank by either MLML or its Servicer. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the last endorsee in a merger or other type

of acquisition, the assignment must be by “[name of last assignee], successor [by merger to or in interest to, as applicable] [name of predecessor]” and if the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the last endorsee while doing business under another name, the assignment must be by “[name of last assignee], successor in interest to [previous name].”

(iv) The original policy of title insurance (or a preliminary title report if the original title insurance policy has not been received from the title insurance company).

(v) Originals of any intervening assignments of the Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon or, if the original intervening assignment has not yet been returned from the recording office, a copy of such assignment certified by the Seller to be a true copy of the original of the assignment which has been delivered for recording in the appropriate recording office of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

(vi) With respect to a Mortgage Loan that, according to the Mortgage Loan Schedule is covered by a primary mortgage insurance policy, the original or a copy of primary mortgage insurance certificate, if any.

(vii) If indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, originals of all assumption and modification agreements, if any, with originals or copies of the underlying instruments being modified.

(viii)

(A) copy of the related Mortgage 100 Pledge Agreement for Securities Account or the Parent Power Guaranty and Security Agreement for Securities Account or the Parent Power Guaranty Agreement for Real Estate, as the case may be;

(B) copy of the UCC-1 (applicable for South Carolina and Rhode Island only);

(C)

an original form UCC-3, if applicable;

(D) for loans originated by a correspondent lender, an original assignment of security interest of the related Mortgage 100 Pledge Agreement or Parent Power Agreement, as the case may be.

(ix)	With respect to each Cooperative Loan:
	(A)	the original proprietary lease;
	(B)	the original recognition agreement;
	(C)	the original security agreement;
	(D)	the original or copy of the assignment of proprietary lease;

(E) the original cooperative stock certificate and stock power executed by borrower in blank;

	(F)	the original UCC-1 Financing Statements;
	(G)	the original UCC-3 Financing Statements; and
(x)	Power of Attorney, if applicable.

provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver to the Custodian, the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument (including the Mortgage), assignments to the Indenture Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to such documents required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the related Servicer, or its agent on its behalf, substantially to the effect that such copy is a true and correct copy of the original; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument, assignment in blank or to the Indenture Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor to such effect) the Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded or from the Depositor’s agent, escrow agent or closing attorney; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor may deliver lost note affidavits from the Seller; and (z) the Depositor shall not be required to deliver intervening assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the related Servicer and the Seller, between the Seller and the Depositor, between the Depositor and the Issuer, and between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; and provided, further, however, that in the case of the Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Indenture Trustee, a certification to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date. The Depositor shall deliver such original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) to the Custodian, promptly after they are received. The Depositor shall cause the Seller, at its expense, to cause each assignment of the Security Instrument to the Indenture Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies as evidenced in writing or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee has been provided to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer which states that recordation of such Security Instrument is not required to protect the interests of the Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successor and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 25% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default or an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure

relating to the Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 6.02 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the assignments, such expense will be paid by the Securities Administrator from funds in the Payment Account in accordance with Section 4.05 of this Agreement.

Section 2.02.

Acceptance of Mortgage Loans by the Issuer.

(a) The Issuer acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust Estate to it by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review by the Custodian, on its behalf, and the exceptions which may be noted by the Custodian, on its behalf, pursuant to the procedures described below, and the Issuer will cause the Custodian to hold, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Custodian, pursuant to Section 2.01, and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Estate delivered to it, in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. On the Closing Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall verify with respect to each Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer of an Initial Certification, that (a) all documents described in Sections 2.01(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (iv) hereof and to the extent provided by Section 2.01(b) and all documents described in Sections 2.01(b)(vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) hereof, if applicable, are in its possession, (b) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (c) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in terms (i), (ii) excluding the zip code requirement, (viii) and (xiv) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” respecting such Mortgage Loan is correct, and which as to items (xxv) and (xxix) for adjustable rate Mortgage Loan Documents and (d) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed and each Assignment of Mortgage has been executed as provided in Section 2.01 hereof. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Custodian thereof), the Custodian, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, shall review each Mortgage File delivered to it and shall execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and Issuer an Interim Certification. In conducting such review, the Custodian will ascertain whether all documents required to be reviewed by it have been executed and received, and based on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, whether the Mortgage Notes relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans it has received, as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Custodian finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File has not been executed or received, or is unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit A, or does not conform on its face to the review criteria specified in this Section (a “Material Defect”), the Custodian shall notify the Seller and the Indenture Trustee of such Material Defect in writing. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the Indenture Trustee of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the Material Defect within such period, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement within 90 days from the Indenture Trustee’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the

Repurchase Price; provided, however, that if such Material Defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Custodian shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

(b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, will review, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer a Final Certification. In conducting such review, the Custodian will ascertain whether an original of each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon or a certified copy has been obtained from the recording office. If the Custodian finds a Material Defect, the Custodian shall promptly notify the Seller and the Indenture Trustee in writing (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subsections (b)(iv), (v) and (vii) of Section 2.01, the Custodian’s obligations shall extend only to the documents actually delivered to the Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Custodian or the Indenture Trustee of the Material Defect and if the Seller is unable to cure such Material Defect within such period, and if such Material Defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement within 90 days from the Custodian’s or Indenture Trustee’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals of such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Indenture Trustee shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

(c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to the Master Servicer the Repurchase

Price for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator and the Indenture Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Repurchase Price. Upon deposit of the Repurchase Price in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Depositor shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian, and the Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan and certification that the Repurchase Price has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account), shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty, furnished to it by the Seller, as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in available funds is deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which was previously delivered to it by the Depositor in a form agreed to between the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian, to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly deliver to the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Issuer a copy of such amendment. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which such a Material Defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such Material Defect available to the Issuer, the Noteholders or to the Indenture Trustee on their behalf.

Section 2.03. Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. (a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Issuer, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the Depositor’s rights and obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available remedies). The Depositor hereby acknowledges that such right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, will be pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Issuer’s, the Indenture Trustee’s and the Noteholders’ sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders and shall execute such further documents as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to carry out such enforcement.

(b) If the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties. The Seller, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Section 2.05 of this Agreement, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Issuer; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.05 of this Agreement, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property

acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Repurchase Price, any excess of the Repurchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Repurchase Price, any excess shall be paid to the Seller to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Repurchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and written notification detailing the components of such Repurchase Price. The Depositor shall submit to the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian a Request for Release, and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, upon receipt of certification from the Master Servicer that the Repurchase Price has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in available funds is deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly deliver to the Issuer, Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Rating Agencies a copy of such amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Repurchase Price as set forth in the above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee on their behalf.

Section 2.04. Substitution of Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Indenture Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the definition of “Substitute Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of Section 2.02. Within two Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After such notification to the Seller and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of certification from the Master Servicer that such excess has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Indenture Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the

Trust Estate and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust Estate. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable. The Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Indenture Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Rating Agencies.

ARTICLE III

Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

Section 3.01. Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligations of the Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the related 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 the Servicers 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 the Servicers and shall cause the Servicers to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Servicers’ servicing activities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, 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, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 7.03 of the Indenture, and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers pursuant to the Servicing Agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of or to enforce the obligation of any Servicer under a Servicing Agreement with respect to any Additional Collateral or any Surety Bond, including, without limitation, the collection of any amounts owing to the trust in respect thereof (unless and until the Master Servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the related Servicer as successor Servicer under such Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, in which case, as successor Servicer, it shall be bound to service and administer the Additional Collateral and the Surety Bonds in accordance with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement).

The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the related Servicer and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the Servicers’ or the Master Servicer’s use or misuse of such powers of attorney.

The Indenture Trustee shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Indenture Trustee regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Noteholders, 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 Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to provide access to such records and documentation to the Noteholders if the provision thereof would violate the legal

right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Indenture Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Indenture Trustee’s actual costs.

The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable based on the requesting party, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or reasonably desirable to (i) effect the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) take any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.

Section 3.02. Monitoring of Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of the Servicers’ activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the related Servicer (or similar document signed by an officer of the related Servicer) with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of the related Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer (other than ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo) should be terminated in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the related 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, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo should be terminated in accordance with the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo 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 in writing. Pursuant to its receipt of such written notification from the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall issue such notice of termination to ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer other than ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo 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 cause the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer; 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. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of such failure. Pursuant to its receipt of such notification from the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo under the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Servicing Agreement and enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Indenture Trustee;

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. In either event, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the related Servicing Agreement 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 (or in the case ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee), 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. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right to be reimbursed for such costs from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c); provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation on the part of the Indenture Trustee to assume or succeed to the duties or obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo or the Master Servicer.

(c) In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo is terminated as Servicer, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Indenture Trustee related to any termination of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, or the enforcement or prosecution of related claims, rights or remedies, or the appointment of a successor Servicer (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 ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo as a result of an event of default by ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo 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 Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo after such termination, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection Account (which the Master Servicer hereby agrees to pay to the Indenture Trustee from the Master Servicer Collection Account upon demand) or, to the extent not paid from such account, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such costs and expenses from the Payment Account. In all other cases, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer (other than ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo), appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to the related Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all out of pocket legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of a 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, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection Account.

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

(e) If the Master Servicer acts as a Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer (other than ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo), if any, that it replaces.

Section 3.03. Fidelity Bond. 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 3.04. Power to Act; Procedures. The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority 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 Issuer, Noteholders 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 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. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or the related 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 related 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 use or misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer). 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 that the Indenture Trustee 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 6.11 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 Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

Section 3.05. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with the related 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 related Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.06. Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the related Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Noteholders on the next Payment Date, the related Servicer will, if required under the related Servicing Agreement, or the Master Servicer may promptly furnish to the Indenture Trustee two copies of 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 Protected Account maintained by such Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement have been so deposited) and shall request that the Indenture Trustee deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver to such Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the related 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 Protected Account.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicers or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon the request of the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Indenture Trustee, of two copies 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), release or cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File held in its or the Custodian’s possession or control to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. The related Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be obligated to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian when the need therefor by such Servicer or the Master Servicer, as it reasonably determines, no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer.

Section 3.07. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Issuer and Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and the Servicers (to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Indenture Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or the Servicers from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the related Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Collection Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement and the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) shall cause each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Noteholders 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Issuer, subject to the pledge to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Servicers 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 related Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.08.

Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

(a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement 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 Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the related 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 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the related Servicer or the Master 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 related Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03. 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 Noteholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.

Section 3.09. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to prepare and present on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to any Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 3.10.

Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.

(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the related Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or such Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Servicers (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 in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit the Servicers (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage 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 the Servicers (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Servicers under any Primary

Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 4.03.

Section 3.11. Indenture Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.

The Indenture Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary Mortgage 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 Indenture has been satisfied and discharged in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall also retain, or shall cause the Custodian to retain, possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary Mortgage 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 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. For each Mortgage Loan that comes into and continues in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers (to the extent required under and subject to the provisions of the related Servicing Agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 3.19 hereof) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such Mortgage Loans, all in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement. The related Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or sale; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as servicing advances by such Servicer as contemplated in Section 4.05.

In addition, the Servicers may also, in their discretion, as an alternative to foreclosure, sell defaulted Mortgage Loans at fair market value to third parties, if such Servicer reasonably believes that such sale would maximize proceeds to the Noteholders in the aggregate (on a present value basis) with respect to that Mortgage Loan.

(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) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, to the extent it becomes a party to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 3.03, and any officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee, shall be indemnified by the Trust Estate and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes or the related Servicing Agreement (except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, is indemnified by the related Servicer thereunder), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense 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), or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense 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.

(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 or the Indenture and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Noteholders hereunder and thereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Estate, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Collection Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in this Subsection 5.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 3.01(a).

(e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust Estate might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but shall give written notice to the Indenture Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.

(f) The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of a Servicer, with the exception of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

(g) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) this Agreement is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally but solely as trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Trust Agreement, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Trust is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust and (iii) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Section 5.05. Master Servicer Not to Resign. Except as provided in Section 5.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that any such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such impermissibility cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Company or the Indenture Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and Company shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master Servicer. Any resignation of the Master Servicer shall result in the automatic resignation of the Securities Administrator.

Section 5.06. Successor Master Servicer. In connection with the appointment of any successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Company or the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Company or the Indenture Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation payable to a successor master servicer may not exceed the compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.

Section 5.07. Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing. The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer

under this Agreement and the Company may terminate the Master Servicer without cause and select a new Master Servicer; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and Company (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Indenture Trustee and Company); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency’s rating of the Notes in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; (iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement; and (iv) in the event the Master Servicer is terminated without cause by the Company, the Company shall pay the terminated Master Servicer a termination fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans is transferred to the successor Master Servicer. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

ARTICLE VI

Default

Section 6.01. Master Servicer Events of Default. “Master Servicer Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Master Servicer Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and only with respect to the defaulting Master Servicer:

(i) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the Payment Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to this Agreement (other than a Monthly Advance), and such failure continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer; or

(ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially affect the rights of Noteholders, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly 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 the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 25% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes; or

(iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or

(iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations;

(v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 5.05 or 5.07; or

(vi) The Master Servicer fails to deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Payment Account any Monthly Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Payment Account Deposit Date.

In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 51% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by such Noteholders), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, and with the consent of the Company, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 6.02, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.01; and, without limitation, 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 or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust Estate or which thereafter become part of the Trust Estate; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s duties thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 6.01 shall occur of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has received written notice or has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate 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 Noteholder or to reimbursement of Monthly Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon become the successor Master Servicer as provided in Section 6.02 and carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Monthly Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 6.01. Any such action taken by the Indenture Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Payment Date.

Section 6.02. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.01 or an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 5.05 to the effect that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the Indenture Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the Seller shall have the right to either (a) immediately assume the duties of the Master Servicer or (b) select a successor Master Servicer; provided further, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability (including advances deemed recoverable and not previously made with respect to the relevant Payment Date giving rise to the Master Servicer Event of Default which shall be made by such successor Master Servicer) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As compensation therefor, but subject to Section 5.06, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution which is a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇- or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, 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 Indenture Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency that the ratings, if any, on each of the Notes will not be lowered as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor and act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 5.06 shall apply, the compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI of the Indenture shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Indenture Trustee); the provisions of Article V, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as successor master servicer.

Section 6.03. Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register and to the Rating Agencies.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Defaults. The Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee received written notice or has actual knowledge, unless such Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Master Servicer Event of Default. The Holders of Notes aggregating at least 51% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made any required distribution on the Notes, which default may only be waived by Holders of Notes aggregating 100% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Indenture Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

ARTICLE VII
