Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable recording office), the Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Seller and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause to be properly recorded by each Servicer in each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in subsection (b)(v) above with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.02

Acceptance of Trust Estate; Review of Documentation.

(a)

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

The Indenture Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by the applicable Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Initial Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Indenture Trustee, or by the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, under this Section 2.02. The Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Depositor on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-1 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit A-1, as applicable).

(b)

Within 45 days after the Closing Date (or in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans, within 45 days after the applicable Transfer Date), the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, will, for the benefit of Securityholders, review each Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2.01 have been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Depositor an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-2 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit A-2, as applicable) to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset Schedule, as applicable (other than any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset prepaid in full or any specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession and (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset. The Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall determine whether such documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding, legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any applicable Custodian shall have any responsibility for verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.

(c)

If in the course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans or the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset Schedule, as applicable (each, a “Material Defect”), the Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, discovering such Material Defect shall promptly identify the Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification delivered to the Depositor. Within 45 days of its receipt of such notice, the Seller on behalf of the Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event, the Depositor shall provide the Indenture Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such cure has been effected). If the Seller does not so cure such Material Defect, it shall, if a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset that would, if such Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset were not purchased from the Trust Estate, constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of the Seller to cure such Material Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset from the Trust Estate at the Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the Seller to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon mutual agreement with the Indenture Trustee each acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. Within the two-year period following the Closing Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 3.04. The failure of the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian to give the notice contemplated herein within 45 days after the Closing Date (or in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans, 45 days after the applicable Transfer Date) shall not affect or relieve the Depositor of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset pursuant to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage Loans or Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets from the Trust Estate.

(d)

Within 180 days following the Closing Date (or in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans, within 180 days after the applicable Transfer Date), the Indenture Trustee, or the applicable Custodian, shall deliver to the Depositor a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A-3 (or in the form annexed to the applicable Custodial Agreement as Exhibit A-3, as applicable) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession or control, with any exceptions noted thereto.

(e)

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

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the applicable Custodian shall perform the functions of the Indenture Trustee with respect to custody, acceptance, inspection and the release of Mortgage Files pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof as provided in this Section 2.02 in accordance with the related Custodial Agreement.

(g)

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee acknowledges a receipt of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, each Servicing Agreement and each Mortgage Pool Insurance Policy.

Section 2.03

Grant Clause.

(a)

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in each Servicing Agreement, (i) require each Servicer to maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Servicer Fidelity Bond in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) cause each Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer any notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond received by it, as and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of such policies and of the certificates and notices referred to in clause (ii) to the Indenture Trustee upon request.

If a bond or insurance claim report is filed with any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Master Servicer shall promptly furnish a copy of such report to the Indenture Trustee. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets collected by the Master Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account.

Section 4.03

For each year this Agreement is in effect, the Master Servicer shall, upon request, deliver to the Indenture Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor a copy of its parent company’s annual unaudited financial statements on or prior to May 31 of each year, beginning May 31, 2003. Such financial statements shall include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of additional paid-in capital, statement of changes in financial position and all related notes and schedules and shall be in comparative form, certified by a nationally recognized firm of Independent Accountants to the effect that such statements were examined and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Section 4.04

Power to Act; Procedures. (a) The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets and shall have full power and authority, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and each Servicer shall have full power and authority (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Issuer or the Securityholders in any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders under this Agreement and the Indenture. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Issuer and the Securityholders in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Servicer, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated to such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee when the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Securityholders, the Indenture Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents prepared by the Master Servicer or any Servicer, as the Master Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (and the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). 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, then upon request of the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the appointment of a co-Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Indenture. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Indenture Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Indenture Trustee.

(a)

In master servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets, the Master Servicer shall employ procedures, and shall cause each Servicer to employ procedures (including, but not limited to, collection procedures), consistent with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.05

Enforcement of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations. (a) Each Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer, respectively, to service the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Any fees and other amounts payable to a Servicer shall be deducted from amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by such Servicer and shall not be an obligation of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer.

(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance therewith, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets or cause the other parties hereto to enter into a Servicing Agreement (and such parties hereby agree to execute and deliver any such successor Servicing Agreement), with a successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans or Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets, (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, and then, (iii) to the extent that such amounts are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of such enforcement, from the Collection Account.

Section 4.06

Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items. (a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which the Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments, water rates, standard hazard insurance policy premiums, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer. The Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, Standard Hazard Insurance Policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to pay such items), provided that it or the applicable Servicer has determined that the funds so advanced are recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.08 or otherwise.

(b) Costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the terms of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Securityholders. Such costs, to the extent that they are unanticipated, extraordinary costs, and not ordinary or routine costs shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08.

Section 4.07

Collection Account. (a) On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open and shall thereafter maintain a segregated account held in trust in the name of the Securities Intermediary (the “Collection Account”), entitled “Collection Account, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as indenture trustee, in trust for Holders of the Structured Asset Securities Corporation Mortgage Loan Trust 2002-9, Mortgage-Backed Securities, Series 2002-9.” The Collection Account shall relate solely to the Securities issued by the Issuer, and funds in such Collection Account shall not be commingled with any other monies.

(b) The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If an existing Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within 15 days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing Collection Account into such new Collection Account.

(c) The Master Servicer shall give to the Indenture Trustee prior written notice of the name and address of the depository institution at which the Collection Account is maintained and the account number of such Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the depository institution holding the Collection Account to hold such account in the name of the Indenture Trustee (subject to the Master Servicer’s right to direct payments and investments and its rights to withdrawal) under this Agreement. On each Deposit Date, the entire amount on deposit in the Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans (subject to permitted withdrawals set forth in Section 4.08), other than amounts not included in the Total Distribution Amount for such Payment Date, shall be remitted to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account by wire transfer in immediately available funds and the entire amount on deposit in the Collection Account relating to the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets (subject to permitted withdrawals set forth in Section 4.08) shall be remitted to the Indenture Trustee for Deposit into the Reserve Fund by wire transfer in immediately available funds. The Master Servicer, at its option, may choose to make daily remittances from the Collection Account to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account or the Reserve Fund.

(d) The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account, no later than the Business Day following the Closing Date, any amounts received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets representing Scheduled Payments on the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets due after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans, after the applicable Subsequent Cut-off Date) and unscheduled payments received on or after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans, after the applicable Subsequent Cut-off Date) and on or before the Closing Date (or in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans, before the applicable Transfer Date). Thereafter, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on the earlier of the applicable Remittance Date and one Business Day following receipt thereof, the following amounts received or payments made by it (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets due on or before the Cut-off Date (or the Subsequent Cut-off Date, in the case of Subsequent Mortgage Loans)):

all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and late collections, on the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets;

(i)

all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets, net of the Servicing Fee, the Master Servicing Fee and the Insurance Premiums, if any, with respect to each such Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset, but only to the extent of the amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection Account in accordance with Sections 5.11 and 4.22;

(iii)

any unscheduled payment or other recovery with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset not otherwise specified in this paragraph (d), including all Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets, and all amounts received in connection with the operation of any REO Property, net of (x) any unpaid Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees with respect to such Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets (but only to the extent of the amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection Account in accordance with Sections 5.11 and 4.22) and (y) any amounts reimbursable to a Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset under the applicable Servicing Agreement and retained by such Servicer;

(e) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments selected by and at the written direction of the Master Servicer, which shall mature not later than the next Deposit Date. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time, and shall not be part of the Trust Estate. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such Collection Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other incidental fees and charges relating to the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Collection Account.

Section 4.08

Application of Funds in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

(i)

to reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances or Servicing Advances made by it or by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.11 or the applicable Servicing Agreement; such right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) is limited to amounts received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage) which represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee and the Master Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which any such Advance was made, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders;

to reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Section 4.23(a) or the applicable Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee and the Master Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset to the Due Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself out of such excess the amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset and to retain any excess remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders;

(iv)

in the event it has elected not to pay itself the Master Servicing Fee out of any Mortgagor payment on account of interest or other recovery with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset prior to the deposit of such Mortgagor payment or recovery in the Collection Account, to pay to itself the Master Servicing Fee for each Payment Date and any unpaid Master Servicing Fees for prior Payment Dates, as reduced pursuant to Section 5.12, from any Mortgagor payment as to interest or such other recovery with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset, as is permitted by this Agreement;

(v)

to reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it or any Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.04, 4.05(b), 4.10(a) or 4.31; provided, however, that any amounts in excess of the annual cap described in clause (b) of the definition of “Interest Remittance Amount” in any Anniversary Year, other than costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.10(a), in connection with any transfer of servicing, shall be included in the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to clause (viii) below and the Master Servicer’s reimbursement for such excess amounts shall be made pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof;

(vii)

to pay to itself income earned on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any Prepayment Interest Excess Amount for such Payment Date;

(viii)

on each Deposit Date, to make payment to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Account and the Reserve Fund in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.07(c) for the related Payment Date (to the extent collected by the Servicers or the Master Servicer);

(xii)

to reimburse a successor master servicer (solely in its capacity as successor master servicer), for any fee or advance occasioned by a termination of the master servicer, and the assumption of such duties by the Indenture Trustee or a successor master servicer appointed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.01, in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that the right of the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Securityholders; and

(xiii)

to reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to such Servicer, to the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement.

In connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) above, the Master Servicer’s, any Servicer’s or such other Person’s entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset. The Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset it master services for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to such subclause (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi).

Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the Indenture Trustee at (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ and indicating such. In preparing or furnishing the foregoing information to the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the information or data regarding the Mortgage Loans, the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets and the related REO Property that has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers, and the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to verify, recomputed, reconcile or recalculate any such information or data.

Such information shall include the amount of original issue discount accrued on each Class of Securities and information regarding the expenses of the Issuer. The Master Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee with such information as is necessary for the Indenture Trustee to prepare such reports.

Section 4.10

Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers. (a) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets by a successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

The parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Estate, if the Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer or all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may be required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets properly and effectively.

(b)

If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such assumption by the successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.

(c)

If the Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable. To the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a successor Servicer that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets for the Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the Servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable, the applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor Servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.

Section 4.11

Master Servicer Liable for Enforcement. Notwithstanding any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Servicing Agreements. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets are serviced in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall enforce the provisions of each Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Securityholders. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 4.12

No Contractual Relationship Between Any Servicer and Indenture Trustee or Depositor. Any Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets involving any Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between such Servicer and the other parties thereto and the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Servicer except as set forth in Section 4.13 hereof, but shall have rights thereunder as third party beneficiaries.

Section 4.13

Assumption of Servicing Agreement by Indenture Trustee. (a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder. The Indenture Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein. The Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Indenture Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indenture Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Indenture Trustee’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Indenture Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities hereunder.

(b)

The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

Section 4.14

“Due-on-Sale” Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.15

Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon (i) becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset or (ii) the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will, or will cause the related Servicer to, promptly notify the Indenture Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) by a certification (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 Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.07 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request (on the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or on the form attached to the related Custodial Agreement) the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, to deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian (with the consent, and at the direction of the Indenture Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Master Servicer is authorized, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is provided for under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is authorized, to give, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset, 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 Collection Account.

(b)

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Master Servicer, or by a Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, or of a Servicer, and delivery to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit B, release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer). Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer or Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Master Servicer or Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Custodian, as applicable, to the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer).

Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset shall be held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account the Master Servicing Fee and other amounts provided in this Agreement and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the related Servicing Agreement.

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, or any Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans or Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, for and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee as the Indenture Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Indenture Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by relevant Uniform Commercial Code or laws; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.

(d)

The Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize any Servicer to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited in any Custodial Account, Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Indenture Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset.

Pursuant to Section 4.07, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.18 or any Servicing Agreement (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.08. 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 or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset where the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Securityholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08.

Section 4.19

Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to, prepare and present on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders all claims under the Insurance Policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets, 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 a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies or bonds shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account or the Custodial 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 requisite to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 4.20

Maintenance of the Mortgage Insurance Policies. (a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer (consistent with the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or such Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to keep in force and effect, or to cause each Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan or Reserve Fund Mortgage Asset in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

The Indenture Trustee shall also deposit or cause to be deposited into the Note Account on the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Total Remittance Amount is remitted by the Master Servicer to the Indenture Trustee, all such amounts. In addition, on the Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Reserve Fund, any amounts deposited therein by the Master Servicer on the related Deposit Date and deposit such amounts in the Note Account.

The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be paid by the Master Servicer for deposit in the Note Account out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. In the event the Master Servicer does not provide written direction to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, all funds on deposit in the Note Account shall be invested in a money market or common trust fund as described in paragraph (viii) of the definition of “Eligible Investment” set forth in Article I.

any such Trust Account Property that is, or is treated as, a Financial Asset shall be physically delivered (accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or other eligible institution maintaining any Trust Account or the Certificate Account in accordance with the Securities Intermediary’s customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary or such other institution establishes a Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee (or the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account) with respect thereto over which the Securities Intermediary or such other institution has Control;

(c)

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

(d)

The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to any Trust Account or the Certificate Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;

(e)

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

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

(f)

In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Trust Account or the Certificate Account or any Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee, in the case of the Trust Accounts, or of the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Account. The Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts, or the Certificate Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee in the case of the Trust Accounts, or of the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Account (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (i) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Trust Accounts, and the Certificate Account, and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Trust Account or the Certificate Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds);

(g)

There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary in such capacity and the Depositor or the Issuer with respect to any Trust Account, or the Depositor with respect to the Certificate Account. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any provision of this Agreement) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail;

(h)

The rights and powers granted under the Indenture and herein to (x) the Indenture Trustee have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in the Trust Accounts and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and (y) the Issuer have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in the Certificate Account and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of the Depositor or the Issuer nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Accounts or of the Issuer in the Certificate Account, and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing; and

(i)

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

(j)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer to make withdrawals and distributions from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Master Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

(k)

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

(i)

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

(ii)

make the necessary filings of financing statements or amendments thereto within five days after the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any change in its corporate name or any trade name or its jurisdiction of organization; (2) any change in the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business; and (3) any merger or consolidation or other change in its identity or corporate structure and promptly notify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any such filings.

(iii)

Neither the Depositor nor the Issuer shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee. Before effecting such change, each of the Depositor or the Issuer proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Indenture Trustee, in the Trust Account Property. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements relating to the Trust Account Property, each of the Depositor and the Issuer authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee, including the Indenture Trustee, to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this Section 5.10.

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

Section 5.11

Advances by Master Servicer and Servicers .

Subject to Section 4.10, Advances shall be made in respect of each Deposit Date as provided herein. If, on any Determination Date, any Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payments due during the related Collection Period (other than Balloon Payments) have not been received, such Servicer shall advance such amount to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. If any Servicer fails to remit Advances required to be made under the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself (in its capacity as successor Servicer) make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Advance on the Deposit Date immediately following such Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall: (i) remit Advances to the Indenture Trustee from funds advanced by the applicable Servicer (or from its own funds to the extent it is successor Servicer) for deposit in the Note Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.11, used by the Master Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately available funds to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Account or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Securityholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Account on or before any future Deposit Date to the extent that funds in the Note Account on such Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Securityholders required to be made on the related Payment Date. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances made by it as provided in Section 4.08. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is non-recoverable, it shall, on or prior to the Deposit Date, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee to such effect.

Section 5.12

Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on each Deposit Date the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such Payment Date. Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.

(v)

The Master Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge into another entity or shall permit another entity to consolidate or merge into it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the criteria for a successor servicer as specified in Section 4.28 hereof; or

(vi)

If a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 hereof shall prove to be incorrect as of the time made in any respect that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or cured within 30 days after the date on which written notice of such incorrect representation or warranty shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Majority Securityholders; or

After receipt of notice from the Indenture Trustee, any failure of the Master Servicer to remit to the Indenture Trustee any payment required to be made to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of Securityholders under the terms of this Agreement, including any Advance, on any Deposit Date.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (viii) of this Section 6.01 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority Securityholders, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets and the proceeds thereof. If an Event of Default described in clause (ix) of this Section 6.01 shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, the Indenture Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, shall promptly terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer, and only in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under the terms of this Agreement; and the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting 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 the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets and related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the defaulting Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying the Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the Indenture Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the Indenture Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Collection Account maintained by such defaulting Master Servicer and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Securities or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets. The Master Servicer being terminated shall bear its costs of a master servicing transfer and the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee associated with such master servicing transfer; provided, however, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.08(xii) to the extent not paid by the outgoing Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided in Section 4.08(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (ix) to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to such Master Servicer's termination.

If any Event of Default shall occur, of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Indenture Trustee shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the Master Servicer's failure to remit funds on the Deposit Date.

(b)

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.01(b) or the Indenture Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 4.29, the Indenture Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination and shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 3.02. In the Indenture Trustee's capacity as such successor, the Indenture Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee.

(c)

Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Such successor Master Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for such Affiliate's actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. 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 and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer hereunder. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing functions and providing the Indenture Trustee and successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts or investment property which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Securities or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Reserve Fund Mortgage Assets. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Indenture Trustee as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer.

Section 6.02

Additional Remedies of Indenture Trustee Upon Event of Default.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Indenture Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 6.01, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Securityholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

Section 6.03

Waiver of Defaults.

The Majority Securityholders may, on behalf of all Securityholders, waive any default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the Note Account or the Certificate Account that would result in a failure of the Indenture Trustee to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Securities may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Securityholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 6.04

Notification to Holders.

Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Security holders at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register. The Indenture Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Indenture Trustee, give written notice thereof to Securityholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.

Section 6.05

Directions by Securityholders and Duties of Indenture Trustee During Event of Default.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Majority Securityholders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties as master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Securityholders.

Section 6.06

Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon Event of Default.

In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer that would become an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer.

ARTICLE VII

Notice of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii) or (iii) shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile by the Indenture Trustee to the Securityholders on the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Indenture Trustee receives notice of such termination, and such notice to the Securityholders shall state that the Securityholders are to surrender their respective Securities for cancellation and shall specify the place where such Securities are to be surrendered.

Section 7.02

On any Payment Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Purchase Date, the Holder of the Residual Interest Certificate has the option to cause a redemption of any Class of Notes, in whole but not in part, under Article X of the Indenture. Notice of any redemption shall be sent by the Indenture Trustee to Securityholders in accordance with the Indenture. Upon exercise of such option, the Holder of the Residual Interest Certificate will redeem any Class of Notes at the related Redemption Price. At the option of the Holder of the Residual Interest Certificate, an optional redemption of any Class of Notes may be effected without retiring such Class of Notes as provided in the Indenture.

Section 7.03

Mandatory Redemption. On the second Payment Date following a determination of counsel for the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer that the Holder of the Residual Interest Certificate does not qualify as a “real estate investment trust” or a “qualified REIT subsidiary” under the Code, the Holder of the Residual Interest Certificate shall be required to terminate this Agreement by submitting an amount equal to the amounts specified in Section 7.01(a)(ii) hereof (but not including any amounts due and payable to Certificateholders).

Section 7.04

Procedure Upon Termination.

(a)

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

(b)

In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Securities for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Indenture Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Securityholders to surrender their Securities for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Securities shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Securityholders concerning surrender of such Securities, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Securities shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Indenture Trustee and not distributed to a Securityholder due to such Securityholder’s failure to surrender its Securities for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.

(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Issuer, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holder of the Residual Interest Certificate, without notice to or the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to the Securities, the Trust or this Agreement in any Offering Document, or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or in any other Operative Agreement, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or (iv) to add, delete, or amend any provisions to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code. No such amendment effected pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence shall adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder. Prior to entering into any amendment without the consent of Noteholders pursuant to this paragraph, the Indenture Trustee may require an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this paragraph. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any Noteholder if the Indenture Trustee receives (i) written confirmation from the Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause the Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or reduce the then current rating assigned to the Notes or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect.

(b)

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Issuer, the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Note Principal Amount of the Notes and of the Holder of the Residual Interest Certificate for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments which are required to be distributed on any Class of Notes, without the consent of the Noteholders of such Class, (ii) change the Note Interest Rate applicable to any Class of Notes without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Note Principal Amount of all outstanding Notes and the holder of the Residual Interest Certificate, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Note Principal Amount of Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Note Principal Amount of the Notes. For purposes of this paragraph, references to "Holder" or "Holders" shall be deemed to include, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, the related Note Owners.

(c)

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor and to the Rating Agency.

(d)

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 8.03 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

Section 8.04

Acts of Securityholders. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever Securityholder action, consent or approval is required under this Agreement, such action, consent or approval shall be deemed to have been taken or given on behalf of, and shall be binding upon, all Securityholders if the Majority Securityholders agree to take such action or give such consent or approval.

Section 8.05

Recordation of Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement, or a memorandum thereof if permitted under applicable law, is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Depositor on direction and at the expense of Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes and of the Holder of the Residual Interest Certificate requesting such recordation, but only when accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Securityholders, or is necessary for the administration or servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
