THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of April 1, 2007, among CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP., a Delaware corporation, as the depositor (the “Depositor”), DLJ MORTGAGE CAPITAL, INC., a Delaware corporation, as the seller (the “Seller”), SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC., a Utah corporation, as servicer (the “Servicer”) and as a special collections servicer (“SPS” or a “Special Collections Servicer”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ FIXED INCOME SERVICES INC., a Colorado corporation, as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”) and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as the trustee (the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH THAT

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account, the Swap Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trust, the Supplemental Interest Trust Account and the Collateral Account be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the Pooling REMIC, the Subsidiary REMIC, and the Master REMIC”). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-IO-S, Class X and Class R Certificates, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Class of LIBOR Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) represents the right to receive payments pursuant to contractual arrangements as described in Section 8.11 of this Agreement. The Class X Certificate represents ownership of the Class X Interest in the Master REMIC and also represents ownership of the assets held from time to time in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC.

The Master REMIC shall hold as its assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in the Subsidiary REMIC, other than the Class LT1-R Interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Subsidiary REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Subsidiary REMIC shall hold as its assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in the Pooling REMIC, other than the Class LTP-R Interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Pooling REMIC. The Pooling REMIC shall hold as assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the Lower Tier Interests in the Pooling REMIC and the Subsidiary REMIC, and the Excluded Trust Property. The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The Pooling REMIC

(1)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for the Class LTP-A Interest is a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate.

(2)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for each of these Pooling REMIC Lower Tier Interests is a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date, and (ii) the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate and (b) 2.

(3)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date.

(4)

The Class LTP-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Pooling REMIC. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an expense of the Pooling REMIC all expenses of the Trust for such Distribution Date other than any Net Trust Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment.

On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute the remaining Interest Remittance Amount for Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2 with respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests in the Pooling REMIC based on the above-described interest rates.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Principal Remittance Amount with respect to Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 2 with respect to the Pooling REMIC Interests, first to the Class LTP-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then sequentially, to the other Pooling REMIC Interests in ascending order of their numerical class designation, and, with respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such class, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Pooling REMIC Interests in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums collected during the preceding Prepayment Period, in the case of Principal Prepayments in full, or during the related Collection Period, in the case of Principal Prepayments in part, to the Class LTP-F58 and Class LTP-V58 Lower Tier Interests, respectively.

The Subsidiary REMIC

The following table sets forth (or describes) the class designation, interest rate, and initial principal amount for each class of Subsidiary REMIC Lower Tier Interests.


Subsidiary REMIC Lower Tier Class Designation	Subsidiary REMIC Lower Tier Interest Rate	Initial Class Principal Balance	Corresponding Class of Certificates

___________________________

(1)

The interest rate for each of these Subsidiary REMIC Lower Tier Interests (the “REMIC Maximum Rate”) with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the Pooling REMIC Lower Tier Interests, provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT1-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a Pooling REMIC Lower Tier Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote two, below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such Pooling REMIC Lower Tier Interest to a cap equal to the product of two and the interest rate used to compute the Swap Counterparty Payment adjusted to reflect the day count convention used for such interest rate (“Swap LIBOR”) for such Distribution Date.

(2)

The Class LT1-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first column in the table below, the Class LT1-IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on the Pooling REMIC Lower Tier Interest listed in second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for such Pooling REMIC Lower Tier Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

(3)

The Class LT1-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Subsidiary REMIC. It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.

(4)

This interest shall have an initial class principal balance equal to one-half of the initial aggregate Class Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class(es) of Certificates.

(5)

This interest shall have an initial class principal balance equal to the excess of (i) the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Cut-off Date, over (ii) the aggregate initial class principal balance of each other regular interest in the Subsidiary REMIC.

On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute interest on the Lower Tier Interests in the Subsidiary REMIC based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however, that interest that accrues on the Class LT1-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Overcollateralization Amount for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the Class LT1-Q Interest. An amount equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other Subsidiary REMIC Lower Tier Interests having a principal balance in the manner described below.

On each Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Lower Tier Interests in the Subsidiary REMIC in the following order of priority:

(i)

First, to the Class LT1-1-A-1, Class LT1-2-A-1, Class LT1-2-A-2, Class LT1-2-A-3, Class LT1-2-A-4, Class LT1-M-1, Class LT1-M-2, Class LT1-M-3, Class LT1-M-4, Class LT1-M-5, Class LT1-M-6, Class LT1-M-7, Class LT1-M-8, Class LT1-M-9 and Class LT1-B-1 Interests until the principal balance of each such Lower Tier Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(ii)

Second, to the Class LT1-Q Interests, any remaining amounts.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to have distributed the Prepayment Premiums passed through with respect to the Class LTP-F58 and Class LTP-V58 Lower Tier Interests in the Pooling REMIC on such Distribution Date to the Class LT1-Q Interest.

The Master REMIC

The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, Pass-Through Rate, initial Class Principal Balance, and minimum Denomination for each Class of Certificates comprising interests in the Trust Fund created hereunder.

(1)

Solely for purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the Distribution Date thirty-six months following the month of the maturity date for the Initial Mortgage Loan with the latest maturity date has been designated as the “latest possible maturity date” for each Class of Certificates that represents one or more of the “regular interests” in the Master REMIC.

(2)

The rate shown above is the Pass-Through Rate for the May 2007 Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period). The Pass-Through Rate applicable to any other Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) shall equal the sum of the related Certificate Index and the Certificate Margin for such Distribution Date subject to a cap equal to the applicable Net Funds Cap, provided, however, that for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, such cap for each Class of Certificates shall equal the REMIC Maximum Rate.

(3)

The Class A-IO-S Certificates are an interest-only Class and for each Distribution Date the Class A-IO-S Certificates shall receive the aggregate Excess Servicing Fee. The Class A-IO-S Certificates shall represent an interest in the Trust, but shall not represent an interest in any REMIC created hereby.

(4)

For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class X Certificate shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Master REMIC (the “Class X Interest”). The Class X Interest shall have an initial principal balance of $22,550,000.00, and the right to receive distributions of such amount represents a regular interest in the Master REMIC. The Class X Interest shall also comprise two notional components, each of which represents a regular interest in the Master REMIC. The first such component has a notional balance that will at all times equal the aggregate of the class principal amounts of the Lower Tier Interests in the Subsidiary REMIC, and, for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) this notional component shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower Tier Interests in the Subsidiary REMIC (other than the Class LT1-IO Interest) over (ii) the Adjusted Subsidiary REMIC WAC. The second notional component represents the right to receive all distributions in respect of the Class LT1-IO Interest in the Subsidiary REMIC. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class X Certificate shall represent beneficial ownership of (i) the Basis Risk Reserve Fund; (ii) the Supplemental Interest Trust, including the Swap Agreement and (iii) an interest in the notional principal contracts described in Section 8.11.

(5)

The Class P Certificates are entitled to Prepayment Premiums only and will not accrue interest.

Certificate Index: With respect to each Distribution Date, the rate for one month United States dollar deposits quoted on Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the related Interest Determination Date relating to each Class of LIBOR Certificates. If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be reasonably selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Servicer), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. If no such quotations can be obtained and no Reference Bank Rate is available, the Certificate Index will be the Certificate Index applicable to the preceding Distribution Date. On the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the Certificate Index for the Accrual Period commencing on such Distribution Date and inform the Servicer of such rate.

The Depositor hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all right, title and interest in such Subsequent Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal due on or with respect to such Subsequent Mortgage Loans on or after the related Subsequent Cut-off Date and all interest and principal payments on such Subsequent Mortgage Loans received prior to the related Subsequent Cut-off Date in respect of installments of interest and principal due thereafter, but not including principal and interest due on such Subsequent Mortgage Loans prior to the related Subsequent Cut-off Date, any insurance policies in respect of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans and all proceeds of any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.02

Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

(a)

The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certifications in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G and declares that it holds and will hold or will cause its agent to hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold or will cause its agent to hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it or the Custodians will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Illinois, State of Texas and State of Minnesota, as directed by the Seller, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.

The Trustee agrees to deliver as of 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Servicer Initial Certifications from each Custodian in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G (or a substantially similar form). Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in each such Initial Certification, each Custodian acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H (or a substantially similar form), with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

If, in the course of such review, the Trustee is notified by a Custodian that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall cause such Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates.

The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it is so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall either (i) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if the cure, substitution or repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, then the Seller shall be given 720 days from the Closing Date to cure such defect or substitute for, or repurchase such Mortgage Loan; and further provided, that the Seller shall have no liability for recording any Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or for the Trustee’s failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or cure any Mortgage Loan as to which such Assignment of Mortgage is not recorded. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage is returned to the Trustee or applicable Custodian. Any such substitution effected more than 90 days after the Closing Date shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof and any substitution shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on its behalf, of a Request for Release from the Servicer, substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto, and the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Repurchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the applicable Collection Account. Upon receipt of such deposit, the Servicer shall deliver a certification in the form of Exhibit M hereto to the Trustee, with copies to the applicable Custodian. The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on its behalf, shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at such entity’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such entity, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such entity, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

If pursuant to the preceding paragraph the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, at the Seller’s expense, either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable and for which the Seller reasonably believes breaches a representation, warranty or covenant under a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Seller purchased from the Originator or prior holder of such Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall have the right to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust at any time in order to facilitate its rights against such Originator or prior holder of such Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that in no event shall such repurchase take place with respect to Mortgage Loans constituting more than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans plus amounts in deposit in the Prefunding Account as of the Closing Date. Any such repurchase by the Seller pursuant to this provision shall be effected in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03(d).

In the event that the Seller exercises such option, the Repurchase Price therefore shall be deposited in the related Collection Account. Upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price, the Servicer shall deliver a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto to the Trustee, with copies to the applicable Custodian. The applicable Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the Seller, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s discretion such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee to the Seller.

The Trustee agrees to cause each Custodian to and each Custodian shall execute and deliver prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on each Subsequent Transfer Date to the Depositor and the Servicer a Subsequent Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G (or a substantially similar form). Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Subsequent Certification, each Custodian shall acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

Not later than 90 days after the end of the Prefunding Period, the Trustee shall cause each Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer a Final Certification with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H (or a substantially similar form) with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, a Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall cause such Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall cure any such defect or repurchase or substitute for any such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 2.02(a).

(b)

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against the Seller.

(c)

All of the Mortgage Files are being held pursuant to the Custodial Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.05 and 3.12 shall be performed by each Custodian. At the expense of DLJMC, the Trustee, from time to time, shall instruct or cause the instruction of each Custodian to deliver the Mortgage Files to the Trustee for completion and recordation of the Assignments of Mortgage.

SECTION 2.03

Representations and Warranties of the Seller, the Servicer and the Special Collections Servicer.

(a)

Each of DLJMC, in its capacity as Seller and SPS, in its capacity as Servicer and a Special Collections Servicer, hereby makes on behalf of themselves the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IIA and Schedule IIB, respectively, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Swap Counterparty and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the applicable Cut-off Date.

(b)

DLJMC, in its capacity as Seller, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule III to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or the date specified therein, with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule I hereto and as of the Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to any Subsequent Mortgage Loan identified on Schedule I hereto. Any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in clauses (xx), (xxiii), (xxiv) and (xxvii) of Schedule III hereto shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty.

(c)

[Reserved].

(d)

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. The Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(b) which materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Repurchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery by the Servicer to the Trustee with copies to the applicable Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M and the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Servicer and the Trustee for any actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to any representation and warranty described in this Section which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01(b), with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the Collection Period related to the Distribution Date in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the related Collection Period and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Seller shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the applicable Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall or shall cause the applicable Custodian to release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans and (ii) any costs and damages actually incurred and paid by or on behalf of the Trust in connection with any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Schedule III (xxi) as the result of a violation of a predatory or abusive lending law applicable to such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the applicable Collection Account by the Seller.

One or more mortgage loans may be substituted for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans. The determination of whether a mortgage loan is a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan may be satisfied on an individual basis. Alternatively, if more than one mortgage loan is to be substituted for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the characteristics of such mortgage loans and Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be aggregated or calculated on a weighted average basis, as applicable, in determining whether such mortgage loans are Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans.

In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Repurchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06. Upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price, the Servicer shall deliver a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, to the Trustee with copies to the applicable Custodian. The Trustee shall release or cause the applicable Custodian to release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.

The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee, or to the Custodians on the Trustee’s behalf, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

SECTION 2.04

Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee and the Swap Counterparty with respect to each Mortgage Loan that, as of the Closing Date, assuming good title has been conveyed to the Depositor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Notes, and did not encumber the Mortgage Loans during its period of ownership thereof, other than as contemplated by the Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee, or to the Custodians on the Trustee’s behalf.

SECTION 2.05

Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions.

(a)

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding; provided, however, that no Opinion of Counsel shall be required if (A) the substitution occurs within two years of the Closing Date and (B) the substitution occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are “defective’ under the Code and the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit AA.

(b)

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Seller, at the Seller’s option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(d) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.

SECTION 2.06

Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

The Trustee acknowledges receipt by the Custodians on its behalf of the documents identified in the Initial Certifications in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G (or a substantially similar form) and the amounts required to be deposited into the Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account and the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and, concurrently with such receipt, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement according to its terms.

SECTION 2.07

REMIC Matters.

The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. The “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The “tax matters person” with respect to each REMIC hereunder other than the Pooling REMIC shall be the holder of the Class R Certificate. The tax matters person with respect to the Pooling REMIC shall be the holder of the Class R Certificate. The Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Class R Certificates shall act as agent for the “tax matters person”. By its acceptance of a Class R Certificate, each holder thereof shall have agreed to such appointment and shall have consented to the appointment of the Trustee as its agent to act on behalf of each REMIC pursuant to the specific duties outlined herein. Each REMIC’s fiscal year shall be the calendar year.

SECTION 2.08

Covenants of the Servicer.

(a)

The Servicer and each Special Collections Servicer hereby covenant to the Depositor and the Trustee for itself only as follows:

(i)

the Servicer and each Special Collections Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, in all material respects with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer under each Primary Insurance Policy; and

(ii)

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS

SECTION 3.01

Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with Accepted Servicing Practices and with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria. In connection with such servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds, other Liquidation Proceeds and other Recoveries and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, provided that the Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, in the Servicer’s full discretion, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee and granted a limited power of attorney by the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties-related to such Mortgage Loans held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer.

In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties related to the Mortgage Loans, which advances shall constitute Servicing Advances and shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.09. The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties related to Mortgage Loans and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit; provided, however, that the limitations contained in this sentence will not apply to modifications made pursuant to Section 3.06(a). The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.09 and agree that no Servicing Advances shall be rejected or disallowed by any party unless such Servicing Advance is not reimbursable under the terms of this Agreement.

With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer of such Mortgage Loans agrees that, with respect to the Mortgagors of such Mortgage Loans, the Servicer for each Mortgage Loan shall fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company on a monthly basis.

The Servicer hereby acknowledges that, to the extent the Servicer has previously serviced some or all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to another servicing agreement, the provisions contained in this Agreement shall supersede the provisions contained in such other servicing agreement, except that such other servicing agreement shall survive and govern with respect to excess servicing fees and termination without cause.

The Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of any Subservicer, when the Servicer or any Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any costs incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this paragraph shall be considered a Servicing Advance and shall be reimburseable to the Servicer.

SECTION 3.02

Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Subservicers.

(a)

The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer in accordance with the servicing provisions of this Agreement, provided that the Subservicer is a FNMA-approved lender or a FHLMC seller/servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by FNMA or for seller/servicer imposed by FHLMC, or which would require notification to FNMA or FHLMC. The Servicer may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of a Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer from its own funds.

The Servicer shall not permit a Subservicer to perform any servicing responsibilities hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans unless that Subservicer first agrees in writing with the Servicer to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permits the Servicer to comply with Section 3.18(ii) of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall be entitled to outsource one or more separate servicing functions to a Person (each, an “Outsourcer”) that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer, so long as such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of the Servicer’s obligation to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to such Outsourcer. In such event, the use by the Servicer of any such Outsourcer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of such Outsourcer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer, and the Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Outsourcer from the Servicer’s own funds.

The Servicer shall not outsource one or more separate servicing functions hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans to any Subcontractor unless that Subcontractor first agrees in writing with the Servicer to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permits the Servicer to comply with Section 3.18(ii) of this Agreement.

(b)

With respect to any Mortgage Loans, the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, or the applicable Collection Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements set forth in Section 3.02(a); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, and if requested to do so by the Trustee, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, or the applicable Collection Account.

(c)

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and its Subservicer, the Servicer and its Outsourcer, or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer, the Outsourcer, or otherwise, no Servicer shall be relieved of its obligations to the Depositor, Trustee or Certificateholders and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Subservicer and Outsourcer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

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

Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Depositor and the Trustee shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to a Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability to pay a Subservicer’s fees and expenses.

SECTION 3.03

[Reserved].

SECTION 3.04

Notification of Adjustments.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with an adjustable Mortgage Rate, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Rate on the related Adjustment Date in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Trustee thereby.

SECTION 3.05

Trustee to Act as Servicer.

In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 7.01 herein), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof or any acts or omissions of the related predecessor Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof or (iv) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02 hereof.

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

SECTION 3.06

Collection of Mortgage Loans; Collection Account; Certificate Account; Prefunding Account; Capitalized Interest Account.

(a)

Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans have been paid in full or such Mortgage Loans have become Liquidated Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall proceed in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable to the extent consistent with this Agreement and any related Primary Insurance Policy and shall take special care with respect to Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer collects escrow payments in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. Consistent with the foregoing, in connection with the Mortgage Loans it is directly servicing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.

Consistent with the foregoing, in instances in which a Mortgage Loan is in default or if default is reasonably foreseeable (within the meaning of the REMIC provisions), and if in the Servicer’s determination, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, such modification is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action), the Servicer may modify the terms of the related Mortgage Loan to (1) capitalize to the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan unreimbursed Advances, unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, and related amounts due to the Servicer; (2) defer such amounts to a balloon payment due on the final payment date of such Mortgage Loan; (3) reduce the related Mortgage Rate (provided that the Mortgage Rate of any fixed-rate Mortgage Loan may not be reduced, and the Mortgage Rate of any adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan may not be reduced below the Mortgage Rate of any such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the related first Adjustment Date); (4) extend the maturity of such Mortgage Loan, but in no instance past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan in the Mortgage Pool as of the Cut-off Date; and/or (5) accept less than the outstanding principal balance as satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan.

(b)

The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to Section 3.06(a) separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “[Servicer’s name], as servicer for U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in trust for the Holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Home Equity Asset Trust 2007-3, Home Equity Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3”, wherein the Servicer will have access to such Collection Accounts. Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any funds deposited in a Collection Account shall at all times be either invested in Eligible Investments or shall be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law. Funds deposited in a Collection Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.09.

(c)

The Servicer shall deposit in the applicable Collection Account on a daily basis within two (2) Business Days following receipt and retain therein, the following collections remitted by Subservicers or payments received by the Servicer and payments made by the Servicer subsequent to the Initial Cut-off Date (or, with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the applicable Subsequent Cut-off Dates), other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the applicable Cut-off Date:

(i)

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

(ii)

all payments on account of interest on the related Mortgage Loans adjusted to the per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate reduced by the Servicing Fee Rate;

(iii)

all Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loans;

(iv)

all Insurance Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loans including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.10 (other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 3.10);

(v)

all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;

(vi)

all Substitution Adjustment Amounts and Repurchase Prices on the related Mortgage Loans;

(vii)

with respect to each Principal Prepayment on the related Mortgage Loans, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for the Prepayment Period. The aggregate of such deposits shall be made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor, up to a maximum amount per month equal to the Compensating Interest Payment, if any, for the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer and Distribution Date;

(viii)

any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in respect of net monthly income from REO Property relating to Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.12;

(ix)

any Prepayment Premiums; and

(x)

any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

The foregoing requirements for deposit into each Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be deposited by the Servicer into such Collection Account. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.06, the Servicer may deduct from amounts received by it, prior to deposit to the applicable Collection Account, any portion of any Scheduled Payment representing the Servicing Fee, if any. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the related Collection Account to withdraw such amount from such Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In the case of the Servicer such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining such Collection Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in such Collection Account. The Trustee may conclusively rely on such notice and shall have no liability in connection with the withdrawal of such funds at the direction of the Servicer. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made by it pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in a Collection Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.09(a).

(d)

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Certificate Account and retain therein the following:

(i)

the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(viii); and

(ii)

any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account.

In the event that the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time in writing direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.09(b). In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Certificate Account at the direction of the Servicer.

(e)

Each institution at which a Collection Account, the Prefunding Account or the Certificate Account is maintained shall either hold such funds on deposit uninvested or shall invest the funds therein in Eligible Investments as directed in writing by the Servicer (in the case of a Collection Account) and the Depositor (in the case of the Prefunding Account) which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of a Collection Account, the Servicer Remittance Date, (ii) in the case of the Prefunding Account, the Business Day immediately preceding a Subsequent Transfer Date and (iii) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date, or on the Distribution Date with respect to Eligible Investments invested with an affiliate of the Trustee and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such balances or investment of funds on deposit in a Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly. The amount of any net investment losses in a Collection Account shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in such Collection Account. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in a Collection Account made in accordance with this Section 3.06. All funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall remain uninvested or may be invested by the Trustee, in its sole discretion in Eligible Investments selected by the Trustee. All net income and gain realized from the investment of, and all earnings on, funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee and shall be available to be withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.09(b)(i). The amount of any net investment losses in the Certificate Account shall promptly be deposited by the Trustee in the Certificate Account. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such balances or investment of funds on deposit in the Prefunding Account shall be for the benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted to it at the end of the Prefunding Period. The amount of any net investment losses in the Prefunding Account shall promptly be deposited by the Depositor in the Prefunding Account. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in a Collection Account or the Prefunding Account (other than as provided in this Section 3.06(e)) and made in accordance with this Section 3.06.

(f)

The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the related Collection Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account or the Prefunding Account prior to any change thereof.

(g)

The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Prefunding Account.

If any funds remain in the Prefunding Account at the end of the Prefunding Period, to the extent that they represent earnings on the amounts originally deposited into the Prefunding Account, the Trustee shall distribute them to the order of the Depositor. The remaining funds shall be transferred to the Certificate Account to be included as part of principal distributions to the Certificates on the July 2007 Distribution Date.

(h)

The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date the Depositor shall remit the Capitalized Interest Deposit to the Trustee for deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account. The Trustee shall either hold such funds on deposit uninvested or shall invest the funds therein in Eligible Investments as directed in writing by the Depositor which shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding a Subsequent Transfer Date. The amount of any net investment losses in the Capitalized Interest Account shall promptly be deposited by the Depositor in the Capitalized Interest Account.

(i)

On the Business Day prior to each of the May 2007, June 2007 and July 2007 Distribution Dates, the Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Capitalized Interest Requirement for such Distribution Date.

(c)

The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the related Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 3.07(d). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the related Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the applicable Mortgagors. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the applicable Mortgagor notwithstanding that the related Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

(d)

Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer only:

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents and taxes and any other item or charge (including, without limitation, assessments, water rates or sewer rents) which may become a lien senior to the lien of the related Mortgage and the status of Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect or cause to be effected payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, (i) the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments, and the Servicer shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments to the extent that the Servicer, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, deems such Servicing Advance recoverable, and (ii) any penalties or late charges incurred in connection with such bills; provided, however, the Servicer shall not be so obligated with respect to any Mortgage which does not provide for Escrow Payments.

(c)

The Servicer shall inspect the related Mortgaged Properties as often as it deems necessary, to assure itself that the value of such Mortgaged Property is being preserved.

(ii)

to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made (including without limitation, late recoveries of payments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds to the extent received by the Servicer);

(xi)

[reserved];

(xii)

to reimburse the Servicer for any Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts not previously reimbursed;

with respect to each Mortgage Loan covered by a lender paid Primary Insurance Policy, if any, to effect timely payment of the premiums on such Primary Insurance Policy pursuant to Section 3.10(c); and

(xiv)

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

(b)

The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the sixth paragraph of Section 8.11).

SECTION 3.10

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Mortgage Impairment Insurance and Primary Insurance Policy; Claims; Restoration of Mortgaged Property.

(a)

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan serviced by it hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer rated either: “V:B” or better in the current Best’s Key Rating Guide (“Best’s”) or acceptable to FNMA and/or FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the greater of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (B) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer.

If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Servicer shall cause a flood insurance policy to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such policy shall meet the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration and be in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the FNMA Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within 45 days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.

If a Mortgage Loan is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Servicer shall verify that the coverage required of the owner’s association, including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with the then current FNMA or FHLMC requirements, and secure from the owner’s association its agreement to notify the Servicer promptly of any change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on the value of the related Mortgaged Property as security.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property such other additional special hazard insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any Primary Insurance Policy insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted Servicing Practices.

All policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which shall provide for prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.

The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice at the origination of such Mortgage Loan in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are rated V:B in Best’s or are acceptable to FNMA and/or FHLMC and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address.

Pursuant to Section 3.06, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the related Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the related Collection Account (subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09(a)).

Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided however, that the limitations contained in this sentence will not apply to modifications made pursuant to Section 3.06(a). Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise pursuant to Section 3.09(a) hereof. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

(b)

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the related Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 3.10(a) and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 3.10(a), it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10(a). Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09(a). Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 3.10(a), and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Servicer’s funds, without reimbursement therefor. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

(c)

With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% which the Seller represented to be covered by a Primary Insurance Policy as of the Cut-off Date and as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Servicer shall, without any cost to the Depositor or Trustee, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 75% of value, and shall pay or shall cause the related Mortgagor to pay, the premium thereon on a timely basis, until the loan-to-value ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, based on either (i) a current appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the appraisal of the Mortgaged Property obtained at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. In the event that such Primary Insurance Policy shall be terminated, the Servicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated Primary Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Servicer shall determine whether recoveries under the Primary Insurance Policy are jeopardized for reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood that the Servicer shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the Primary Insurance Policy for such reason. If the Servicer determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the related Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 3.11, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such Primary Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such Primary Insurance Policy provided that such required actions are in compliance with all applicable law. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above; provided that under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage the cost of such policy may be charged to the successor Mortgagor.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan covered by a lender paid Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the Servicer agrees to effect timely payment of the premiums on such Primary Insurance Policy from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such Mortgage Loan are not sufficient to pay the premiums on such Primary Insurance Policy, the Servicer agrees to effect timely payment of such premiums, and such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer from the related Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise as a Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 3.09(a). With respect to each Mortgage Loan covered by a Primary Insurance Policy that is not lender paid, the Servicer agrees to effect timely payment of the premiums on such Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable from the Mortgagor shall be recoverable by the Servicer from the related Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise as a Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 3.09(a).

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.06, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the related Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09.

(d)

[Reserved]

(e)

With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Trustee prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds to the related Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds:

(i)

the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(ii)

the Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens; and

(iii)

pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds in the related Escrow Account.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if the Trustee is named as an additional loss payee, the Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Trustee.

SECTION 3.11

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

(a)

The Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any.

(b)

If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note, including without limitation, the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan or the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.

(c)

To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Servicer shall inquire diligently, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee customarily used by the Servicer for the servicing of similar mortgage loans. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

(d)

With respect to any Mortgage Loan, subject to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in this Section 3.11, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

SECTION 3.12

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

(a)

The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the related Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall take such action as (i) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (ii) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (iii) the Servicer shall determine consistently with Accepted Servicing Practices to be in the best interest of the Depositor, Trustee and Certificateholders, and (iv) is consistent with the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the related Collection Account). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or otherwise pursuant to Section 3.09(a).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Trustee otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property conducted by a qualified inspector shall be arranged for by the Servicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager with a written report of environmental inspection.

In the event the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the environmental inspection report, together with the Servicing Advances made by the Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. If however, the aggregate of such clean up and foreclosure costs and Servicing Advances as estimated in the environmental inspection report are less than or equal to the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer may, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, choose to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a) hereof. In the event the Servicer does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a) hereof, and the Servicer shall have no further obligation to service such Mortgage Loan under the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)

With respect to any REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager on or before each Distribution Date a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous calendar month and such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably request and which is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the related Collection Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. the Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required for filing.

To the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (as reduced by any amount applied as a reduction of principal at the time of acquisition of the REO Property), liability insurance, if any, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.

(c)

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable extension period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

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

(d)

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

(e)

The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the related Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the per annum rate equal to the related Mortgage Rate reduced by the Servicing Fee Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.15.

SECTION 3.13

Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian by delivering, or causing to be delivered a “Request for Release” substantially in the form of Exhibit M. Upon receipt of such request, the Custodian shall within four Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall within four Business Days of the Servicer’s direction execute and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. The Servicer shall execute lien releases under Power of Attorney from the Trustee. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor and shall not be an expense of the Servicer. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days of delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing Officer, release or cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File to the Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the related Collection Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M, signed by a Servicing Officer. The Servicer is also authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS® System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release, including an assignment of such loan to the Trustee.

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

SECTION 3.14

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

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

SECTION 3.15

Servicing Compensation.

(a)

The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the related Mortgage Loans (“Servicer Employees”). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Financial Institution Bond Form 24 Fidelity Bond American International Specialty Lines Insurance Policy form (“43350 12/90”) or otherwise in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHMLC, and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of the Servicer Employees. Each Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a related Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.19 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA.

SECTION 3.20

Prepayment Premiums.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment, the Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Premium or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the related Mortgage Loan is in default or foreseeable default and such waiver (a) is standard and customary in servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and (b) would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law, (iii) the enforceability would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidelines issued by any applicable federal, state or local authority having jurisdiction over such matters, (iv) the Servicer is unable to locate documentation sufficient to allow it to confirm the existence and amount of such Prepayment Premium after using commercially reasonable efforts to locate such documentation, which efforts shall include, but are not limited to, seeking such documentation from the Depositor, the Seller, the Custodians and from its own records or files or (v) the related Mortgaged Property has been damaged such that the current value of the property has been reduced by at least half as a result of a natural disaster or other insured or uninsured peril, and the Mortgagor has elected to pay the related Mortgage Loan in full rather than rebuild the Mortgaged Property. If one or more of the preceding conditions is satisfied, the Servicer shall be obligated to waive the related Prepayment Premium. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer may waive a Prepayment Premium in connection with a short sale or short payoff on a defaulted Mortgage Loan. If the Servicer has waived all or a portion of a Prepayment Premium relating to a Principal Prepayment, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee no later than the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, for deposit into the Certificate Account the amount of such Prepayment Premium (or such portion thereof as had been waived) for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and if the Servicer fails to deliver such amount either the Trustee or the Seller may enforce such obligation. If the Servicer has waived all or a portion of a Prepayment Premium for any reason, it shall notify the Trustee and the Seller thereof and shall include such information, including the reason for such waiver, in any monthly reports it provides the Trustee and the Seller. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Premium payable under the terms of the related Mortgage Note is less than the amount of the Prepayment Premium set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or other information provided to the Servicer, the Servicer shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to such difference.

SECTION 3.21

Duties and Removal of the Credit Risk Manager.

For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Premiums with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreement, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the Servicer and the Depositor.

The Credit Risk Manager will not be responsible for performing any servicing or administrative functions with respect to the Mortgage Loans, but rather will perform certain advisory functions with respect to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and under credit risk management agreement with the Servicer, including making recommendations to the Servicer regarding certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans

Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the Servicer and the Depositor.

If Holders of the Certificates entitled to 66 2/3% or more of the Voting Rights request in writing to the Trustee to terminate the Credit Risk Manager under this Agreement, the Credit Risk Manager shall be removed pursuant to this Section. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk Manager.

SECTION 3.22

Advance Facility.

(a)

The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”) under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges to another Person (an “Advancing Person”) the Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility; provided, however, that the consent of the Trustee shall be required before the Servicer may cause to be outstanding at one time more than one Advance Facility with respect to Advances or more than one Advance Facility with respect to Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer’s behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility. If each the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances or Servicing Advances outstanding and previously unreimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, then the Servicer shall identify amounts collected that would otherwise be retained by the Servicer to reimburse it for previously unreimbursed Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) and/or previously unreimbursed Servicing Advances (“Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts” and together with Advance Reimbursement Amounts, “Reimbursement Amounts”) (in each case to the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility) as such amounts are received, consistently with the reimbursement rights set forth in this Agreement, and shall remit such Reimbursement Amounts in accordance with the documentation establishing the Advance Facility to such Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an “Advance Facility Trustee”) designated by such Advancing Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if so required pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, the Servicer may direct the Trustee to, and if so directed the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall, pay to the Advancing Person or the Advance Facility Trustee the Reimbursement Amounts identified pursuant to the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in Interest Remittance Amounts or Principal Remittance Amounts or distributed to Certificateholders. The Servicer making an election to remit Reimbursement Amounts to the Trustee shall report to the Trustee the portions of the Reimbursement Amounts that consist of Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts, respectively.

(b)

If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility and makes the election to remit Reimbursement Amounts to the Trustee as described in Section 3.22(a), the Servicer and the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice and payment instruction (an “Advance Facility Notice”), providing the Trustee with written payment instructions as to where to remit Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included within the Advance Facility) on subsequent Distribution Dates. The payment instruction shall require the applicable Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to an Advance Facility Trustee designated in the Advance Facility Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advancing Person (and any related Advance Facility Trustee); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 3.22 shall cease to be applicable when all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by an Advancing Person, and when all Advances and Servicing Advances (the rights to be reimbursed for which have been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person), have been repaid to the related Advancing Person in full.

(c)

Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Sections 3.07(d)(ii) and 3.09(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.01. The Trustee shall not have any duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount and, if the Servicer has elected to remit Reimbursement Amounts to the Trustee, shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility Notice and on the Servicer’s report of the amount of Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the remittance from the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(viii) or (ix). The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.

(d)

An Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the rights to be reimbursed for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a Sub-Servicer set forth in Section 3.02 hereof.

(e)

Reimbursement Amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) basis. The Servicer entering into an Advance Facility shall provide to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan-by-loan information with respect to each Reimbursement Amount remitted to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each Distribution Date or otherwise, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.

(f)

The Servicer who enters into an Advance Facility shall indemnify the Trustee, the Trust and any successor Servicer, as applicable, from and against any claims, losses, liabilities or damages resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the successor Servicer, or failure by the successor Servicer or the Trustee to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to act by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, and the passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that an Event of Default under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause under this Agreement.

(g)

Any amendment to this Section 3.22 or to any other provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.22, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.23

Refinancing of Senior Liens.

(a)

If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-off Date, then the Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of the prior senior lien, provided that the following requirements are met:

(i)

the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing;

(ii)

the interest rate for the Senior Lien is no more than 2.0% greater than the Mortgage Rate with respect to the fixed-rate Mortgage Loans or the Maximum Mortgage Rate with respect to the adjustable-rate Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, on the loan evidencing the Senior Lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and

(iii)

the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to negative amortization.

SECTION 3.24

Special Collections Servicing of Liquidated Mortgage Loans.

(a)

No later than 90 days after a Mortgage Loan becomes a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, at the direction of the Depositor, transfer the servicing of such Liquidated Mortgage Loan to a Special Collections Servicer, as determined in accordance with Section 3.24(b). The applicable Special Collections Servicer shall pursue Recoveries on such Liquidated Mortgage Loan. Approximately 30% of all Recoveries collected by a Special Collections Servicer shall be retained by it as compensation and reimbursement for expenses, and the remaining approximately 70% of all Recoveries collected by a Special Collections Servicer shall be remitted to the Collection Account within 60 days of receipt by such Special Collections Servicer; provided, however, that upon agreement with the Depositor, a Special Collections Servicer may be entitled to a different percentage of Recoveries, as compensation and reimbursement for expenses.

(b)

In the case of multiple Special Collections Servicers, the Liquidated Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the Special Collections Servicers on an alternating basis beginning with SPS.

(c)

In connection with the transfer of any Liquidated Mortgage Loan to a Special Collections Servicer, the Servicer, at such Special Collections Servicer’s expense, shall deliver to such Special Collections Servicer all documents and records relating to such Liquidated Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing to such Special Collections Servicer. The Special Collections Servicer shall pursue Recoveries with respect the related Liquidated Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with Accepted Servicing Practices and with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria.

SECTION 3.25

Special Serviced Mortgage Loans.

(a)

The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of Class X Certificates may, at its discretion, appoint a Special Servicer; provided, that any such successor Special Servicer shall meet all the requirements of the Servicer under this Agreement and shall comply in all respects with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Servicer. The Class X Certificateholder shall notify the Trustee and the Depositor upon the appointment of a Special Servicer and the Trustee shall notify the Servicer of such appointment.

The Class X Certificateholder shall not appoint a Special Servicer under the terms of this Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loans unless:

(i)

(ii)

such Special Servicer first agrees in writing with the Class X Certificateholder to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times as required by Section 3.18(i) of this Agreement; and

(iii)

(b)

The majority Class X Certificateholder may (but is not obligated to) direct any Special Servicer to assume the servicing from the Servicer (a “Transferring Servicer”) of any Mortgage Loan 90 days or more delinquent. Such Special Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Transferring Servicer, as Servicer, hereunder arising thereafter and the Transferring Servicer shall have no further rights or obligations, as Servicer, hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loan (except that such Special Servicer shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Transferring Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof or for any acts or omissions of the Transferring Servicer hereunder prior to the servicing transfer date, (ii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Transferring Servicer hereunder). Upon the transfer of the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan to a Special Servicer, such Special Servicer shall be entitled to the applicable Servicing Fee and other compensation accruing after the servicing transfer date with respect to such Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.15.

In connection with the transfer of the servicing of any Mortgage Loan to a Special Servicer, the Transferring Servicer, at such Special Servicer’s expense, shall deliver to such Special Servicer all documents and records relating to such Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing to such Special Servicer.

Any such purchase shall be made by such Special Servicer at a price equal to the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from such Special Servicer for all expenses incurred by it in connection with the transfer of any Mortgage Loan to such Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.25(c). A Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer of its intent to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.25(c) at least 45 days prior to such repurchase.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES

SECTION 4.01

Advances.

The Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account at the time described below an amount equal to with respect to the Mortgage Loans, all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on the related Mortgage Loans during the applicable Collection Period; provided however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the Servicer will not be required to advance the related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make advances in accordance with this Section 4.01 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to an assumed scheduled payment that would otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate). The Servicer’s obligation to make such Advances as to any related Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall not be required to advance shortfalls of principal or interest resulting from the application of the Relief Act.

The Servicer shall be obligated to make Advances with respect to those Mortgage Loans serviced by it in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided however, that such obligation with respect to any related Mortgage Loan shall cease if the Servicer determines, in its sole discretion, that Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that the Servicer determines that any such Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination.

If an Advance is required to be made hereunder, the Servicer shall on the Servicer Remittance Date immediately following the Determination Date either (i) deposit in the related Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of such Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.01, used by the Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account on or before the next Distribution Date in which such funds would be due or from other funds in the Collection Account being held for future distribution, if available.

For example, a mortgage loan due for September 1 at the close of business on October 31 would be described as 30 to 59 days delinquent in the November trust and static pool reporting.

In addition to the information listed above, not later than the first Business Day immediately following the Determination Date, the Servicer and each Special Collections Servicer shall provide to the Trustee for inclusion in each such report any other information required by Form 10-D, including, but not limited to, the information required by Item 1121 (17 C.F.R. § 229.1121) of Regulation AB.

The Trustee’s responsibility for disbursing the above information to the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy of the information derived from the Servicer and each Special Collections Servicer.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall provide Bloomberg Financial Markets, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) CUSIP Level Factors for each Class of Offered Certificates as of such Distribution Date, using a format and media mutually acceptable to the Trustee and Bloomberg. In connection with providing the information specified in this Section 4.04 to Bloomberg, the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by DLJMC, to the extent, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in Section 8.05. The Trustee will also make the monthly statements to Certificateholders available each month to each party referred to in this Section 4.04(a) via the Trustee’s website. The Trustee’s website can be accessed at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇ or at such other site as the Trustee may designate from time to time. The Trustee shall post on the above referenced website, on a monthly basis, current loan level data reports about the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund. The format of these loan level data reports may be modified, as permitted by the Trustee, or they may be discontinued at any time. The Trustee may fully rely upon and shall have no liability with respect to information provided by the Servicer.

(b)

Upon request, within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii) of this Section 4.04 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect.

(c)

In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee shall post an electronic file containing current loan level data with respect to the Mortgage Loans ("Loan Level Data"), on a monthly basis, to the website referred to in Section 4.04(a). The Loan Level Data will include fields as agreed to by the Depositor and the Trustee from time to time. The Loan Level Data will be based solely on information provided by the Servicer, and the Trustee's provision of the Loan Level Data is subject to the availability, timeliness and accuracy of the information provided by the Servicer. The Loan Level Data will not include any personally identifiable information, including but not limited to: borrower name, borrower address, property address, borrower social security number, and originator's loan account number. The Loan Level Data may include recent property valuation information, including based on a recent broker's price opinion. As agreed to by the Depositor and the Trustee, the format of the Loan Level Data may be modified at any time, and the posting of the Loan Level Data may be discontinued at any time. The Trustee will not be required to provide the Loan Level Data in paper form.

SECTION 4.05

Servicer to Cooperate.

The Servicer and any Special Collections Servicer shall provide to the Trustee information identified on Exhibit O which is mutually agreeable to the Trustee and the Servicer or such Special Collections Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced by it no later than the first Business Day immediately following the Determination Date. This information is necessary to enable the Trustee to perform its distribution, accounting and reporting requirements hereunder. Such information shall also include the applicable information set forth in Exhibit P hereto regarding the terms of any Modified Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 4.06

Basis Risk Reserve Fund.

(a)

On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund. The Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

On the Closing Date, $5,000.00 will be deposited by the Depositor into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer from the Certificate Account to the Basis Risk Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(xii) the Required Basis Risk Reserve Fund Deposit. Amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be withdrawn by the Trustee in connection with any Distribution Date to fund the amounts required to be distributed to holders of the LIBOR Certificates in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls. Any distributions of Monthly Excess Cashflow to the holders of the LIBOR Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.02(e)(xi)(A)-(K) shall be deemed to have been deposited in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and paid to such holders. On any Distribution Date, any amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund in excess of the Required Basis Risk Reserve Fund Amount shall be distributed to the Class X Certificateholder pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(xv).

(c)

Funds in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund may be invested in Eligible Investments by the Trustee at the direction of the holders of the Class X Certificates maturing on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. Any net investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the holders of the Class X Certificates. The Trustee shall account for the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The Class X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for federal tax purposes and the Holders thereof shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of amounts therein. The Trustee shall treat amounts transferred by the Master REMIC to the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as distributions to the Class X Certificateholder for all federal tax purposes. In the absence of such written direction, all funds in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall remain uninvested. The Trustee shall have no liability for losses on investments in Eligible Investments made pursuant to this Section 4.06(c) (other than as obligor on any such investments). Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(xv) hereof.

(d)

On the Distribution Date immediately after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates equals zero, any amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund not payable on the LIBOR Certificates shall be deposited into the Certificate Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(xv) hereof.

SECTION 4.07

Supplemental Interest Trust.

(a)

A separate trust is hereby established (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”), the corpus of which shall be held by the Trustee , in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate account for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest Account”). The Supplemental Interest Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

In addition, the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall establish an account (the “Collateral Account”). The Collateral Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other monies, including, without limitation, other monies of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)

The Trustee shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account any amounts required to be paid to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to Section 4.02 and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Account any such amounts to the Swap Counterparty as required by Section 4.02 on each Swap Payment Date. The Trustee shall deposit into the Supplemental Interest Account any Net Counterparty Payments received from the Swap Counterparty and shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Account any such amounts to holders of the Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02(h).

(d)

Funds in the Supplemental Interest Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Swap Payment Date, or on the Swap Payment Date with respect to Eligible Investments invested with an affiliate of the Trustee. Any earnings on such amounts shall be distributed on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02(h). The Class X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes and the Holder thereof shall direct the Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein. In the absence of written instructions from the Class X Certificateholders as to investment of funds on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Account, such funds shall be invested in the First American Prime Obligations Fund (Class A).

(e)

Funds required to be held pursuant to the Credit Support Annex shall be deposited into the Collateral Account. Funds posted by the Swap Counterparty (or its credit support provider) in the Collateral Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments as directed by the Swap Counterparty. Any interest earnings on such amounts shall be remitted to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the terms of the Credit Support Annex. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence of written instructions from the Swap Counterparty (or its credit support provider) as to investment of funds on deposit in the Collateral Account, such funds shall be invested in First American Prime Obligations Fund (Class A) or comparable investment vehicle. On the first Distribution Date immediately following any Swap Payment Date as to which a shortfall exists with respect to a Net Counterparty Payment or a Swap Termination Payment owed by the Swap Counterparty as a result of its failure to make payments pursuant to the Swap Agreement, amounts necessary to cover such shortfall shall be removed from the Collateral Account, remitted to the Swap Account and distributed as all or a portion of such Net Counterparty Payment or Swap Termination Payment pursuant to Section 4.02(h). Any amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account required to be returned to the Swap Counterparty (or its credit support provider) as a result of (i) the termination of the Swap Agreement, (ii) the procurement of a guarantor, (iii) the reinstatement of required ratings or (iv) otherwise pursuant to the Swap Agreement, shall be released directly to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the terms of the Credit Support Annex.

(f)

Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental Interest Account after payment of amounts owing to the Swap Counterparty shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(h).

(g)

Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Collateral Account shall be distributed as required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Support Annex.

(h)

It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the holder for the Class X Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class X Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class X Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes.

(i)

The Trustee is hereby directed, on or prior to the Closing Date, solely on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust and not in its individual capacity, to enter into and assume the obligations under the Swap Agreement with the Swap Counterparty for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, in the form presented to it by the Depositor. The Depositor shall pay or cause to be paid on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust the payments, if any, owed to the Swap Counterparty as of the Closing Date under the Swap Agreement. The Trustee shall not, individually or personally, have any liability to perform any covenant of the Supplemental Interest Trust either express or implied contained in the Swap Agreement and under no circumstance shall the Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any amounts payable by the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement or any expenses of the Supplemental Interest Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution of and performance of any obligations under the Swap Agreement.

SECTION 4.08

Rights of Swap Counterparty.

The Swap Counterparty shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right to enforce its rights under this Agreement, which rights include but are not limited to, the obligation of the Trustee (A) to deposit any Net Trust Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(vi) and any Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 4.02(a)(vi), (c)(i), (d)(i) and (e)(xiii) into the Supplemental Interest Account and (B) to establish and maintain the Supplemental Interest Account, to make such deposits thereto, investments therein and distributions therefrom as are required pursuant to Section 4.07. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, the Swap Counterparty shall be entitled to relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 4.09

Replacement of Swap Counterparty.

In the event that the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, and at the direction of the Depositor, enters into a replacement interest rate swap agreement with a replacement swap counterparty (the "Replacement Swap Counterparty"), then (a) to the extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust would be required to make a Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Counterparty and (b) to the extent the Replacement Swap Counterparty pays to assume the rights and obligations of the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement (the "Replacement Payment"), the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, and the Swap Counterparty agree that such Replacement Payment shall be paid to the Swap Counterparty and shall, only to the extent actually paid by the Replacement Swap Counterparty to the Swap Counterparty, constitute satisfaction in full of the obligations of the Supplemental Interest Trust to the Swap Counterparty in respect of the assignment of the outstanding transaction under the Swap Agreement to the Replacement Swap Counterparty or the replacement of such transaction with the Replacement Swap Counterparty. In addition, upon termination of the Swap Counterparty and to the extent that the Swap Counterparty would be required to make a Swap Termination Payment to the Supplemental Interest Trust, such Swap Termination Payment shall be deposited into the Supplement Interest Account and shall be used to make any upfront payment required to be made to a Replacement Swap Counterparty.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that a replacement swap agreement is not obtained within 30 days after receipt by the Trustee of the Swap Termination Payment paid by the terminated Swap Counterparty, the Trustee shall deposit such Swap Termination Payment into the Supplemental Interest Account and the Trustee shall, on each Distribution Date, withdraw from such Supplemental Interest Account, an amount equal to the Net Counterparty Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust by the original Swap Provider (computed in accordance with the terms of the original Swap Agreement) and distribute such amount in accordance with Section 4.02(h) of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

THE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 5.01

The Certificates.

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

Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer upon the written order of the Depositor. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such certificate a Certificate of Authentication in the form provided herein, executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the written direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.

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

SECTION 5.02

Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.

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

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

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

(b)

No transfer of a Private Certificate (A) other than a Private Certificate sold in an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S, shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws and (B) solely in the case of a Private Certificate sold in an offshore transaction, shall be made only if such transfer is to a non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. Except in connection with any transfer of a Private Certificate by the Depositor to any affiliate, in the event that a transfer is to be made pursuant to clause (A) above and in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit J (the “Transferor Certificate”) and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall either (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of (A) Exhibit L (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (B) if the Private Certificate subject to such transfer represents the entire Class or the Depositor otherwise consents to such transfer, Exhibit K (the “Investment Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Private Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

In the event that a transfer is to be made pursuant to clause (B) above, by acceptance of a Regulation S Global Security, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Trustee and any of its successors that: (i) such Person (A) if the offer or sale was made to it prior to the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period within the meaning of Regulation S, is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and (B) was, at the time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii) such Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of such Certificates or any interest therein shall be made in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (each as defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates, such Certificates may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which the seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, that is purchasing such Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement; and it will notify such transferee of the transfer restrictions specified in this Section.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received in accordance with Exhibit I, Exhibit K or Exhibit L, as applicable, either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan or a Person acquiring such ERISA-Restricted Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such Plan, (a “Benefit Plan Investor”), which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, if the purchaser is an insurance company and the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Benefit Plan Investor without a representation as required above, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, any Special Servicer, the Special Collections Servicer or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of such parties. In the event the representations referred to in the preceding sentence are not furnished, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by any beneficial owner who purchases an interest in such Certificate in book-entry form. In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a Benefit Plan Investor is attempted without the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of such Certificate shall be void and of no effect.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit I, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under the statutory exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ 95-60 or PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable exemption. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in this paragraph.

If any ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, any Special Servicer and the Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(c)

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

(i)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of a Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

(v)

The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller, any Special Collections Servicer or the Servicer to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause the REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(d)

[Reserved].

(e)

The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.

(f)

Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.

All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.

If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor, with the consent of the applicable Depository Participants, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants consent to the termination, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of the Seller, the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 5.04

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer or the Trustee or any agent of the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 5.05

Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.

If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or the Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

THE DEPOSITOR, THE SELLER, THE SERVICER, ANY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS SERVICER AND ANY SPECIAL SERVICER

SECTION 6.01

Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer and any Special Servicer.

The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, each Special Collections Servicer and any Special Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.

SECTION 6.02

Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer.

The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, each Special Collections Servicer and any Special Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.

Any Person into which the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any Special Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person with respect to a merger or consolidation of the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer shall be an institution either (i) having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 or whose deposits are insured by the FDIC through the BIF or the SAIF, or (ii) which is a FNMA or FHLMC approved servicer in good standing.

Notwithstanding the provision of Section 6.04 herein to the contrary, in the event that the Servicer or a Special Collections Servicer determines that it will no longer engage in the business of servicing mortgage loans, the Servicer or such Special Collections Servicer, may assign its rights under this Agreement, provided that (i) the Depositor in its sole discretion has consented, (ii) the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Offered Certificates in effect immediately prior to such action will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies) and (iii) the Servicer or such Special Collections Servicer shall be liable for all costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with the assignment and related transfer of servicing of such Mortgage Loans, as applicable, provided further, that the Servicer or such Special Collections Servicer shall indemnify and hold the Trust, the Trustee, the Depositor, any Subservicer or the successor Servicer, as applicable, and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust, the Trustee, the Depositor, any Subservicer, or the successor Servicer or Special Collections Servicer, as applicable, and each Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to such assignment. No assignment by the Servicer or a Special Collections Servicer shall become effective until a successor Servicer or Special Collections Servicer acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer or Special Collections Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement. Any such assignment shall not relieve the Servicer or such Special Collections Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified herein except to the extent that such responsibilities have been expressly assumed by such successor Servicer or Special Collections Servicer.

SECTION 6.03

Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer and any Special Servicer.

(a)

None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall (i) not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer, any Special Servicer or any such Person against any breach of representations, warranties or covenants (including, but not limited to, any indemnification obligations provided in Section 2.08) made by it herein and (ii) not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer, any Special Servicer or any such director, officer, employee or agent from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer, any Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, a Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, each Special Collections Servicer any Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the related Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Account and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (i) incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder and (ii) in the case of the Servicer, the Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer, in any way related to the failure of the Servicer, such Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer, as applicable, to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer and any Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Trust Fund. The right of the Servicer and each Special Collections Servicer to indemnity and reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer or such Special Collections Servicer as set forth herein.

(b)

The Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer and any Special Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer or any Special Servicer, as applicable, to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer, as applicable, shall follow any written instructions received from the Trustee in connection with such claim. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee promptly shall reimburse the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer, as applicable, for all amounts advanced by such entity pursuant to the second preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the failure of the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer or any Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.04

Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer, Special Servicer or a Special Collections Servicer.

(a)

Subject to Sections 6.04(b) and (c) below, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i)(a) upon appointment of a successor servicer or special collections servicer (which may be with respect to all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans) and (b) receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the Certificates related to the applicable Mortgage Loans, or (ii) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (ii) permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at DLJMC’s request, so long as it is the owner of the related servicing rights, the Servicer shall resign upon the selection and appointment of a successor servicer; provided that the Seller delivers to the Trustee the letter required by 6.04(a)(i) above.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of the majority Class X Certificateholder, a Special Servicer shall resign, upon the selection and appointment of a successor special servicer by the majority Class X Certificateholder; provided, that any such successor Special Servicer shall meet all the requirements of the Servicer as described in Section 7.02 of this Agreement and shall comply in all respects with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(d)

The Special Collections Servicer may resign at any time upon 60 days notice to the Depositor. The Depositor may at any time remove the Special Collections Servicer and may appoint a successor special collections servicer.

SECTION 6.05

Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.

Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be under any liability hereunder to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the Credit Risk Management Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by the Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, gross negligence or bad faith in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement or the applicable Credit Risk Management Agreement. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the Servicer pursuant to the applicable Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.

any failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, or if any of the representations and warranties of the Servicer in Section 2.03(a) proves to be untrue in any material respect, which failure or breach continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure or breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, provided, however, that in the case of a failure that cannot be cured within 60 days, the cure period may be extended if the Servicer can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee that the Servicer is diligently pursuing remedial action; or

(iii)

failure by the Servicer to maintain, if required, its license or authorization to do business in any jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, unless such failure does not have a material adverse effect on the Servicer’s duties, obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement; or

(iv)

[reserved]; or

(v)

(a) any reduction or withdrawal of the Ratings or any shadow ratings of any Class of Certificates attributable solely to the Servicer or the servicing of the Servicer’s Mortgage Loans or (b) any placement by a Rating Agency of any Class of Certificates on credit watch with negative implications attributable solely to the Servicer or the servicing of the Servicer’s Mortgage Loans; or

(vi)

any reduction or withdrawal of the ratings of the Servicer as a servicer of subprime mortgage loans by one or more of the Rating Agencies that maintains a servicer rating system and a Rating on the Certificates to “below average” or below, except for any downgrade by Fitch to “RPS4” or below; or

(vii)

a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(viii)

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

(ix)

the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(x)

the Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of a FNMA or FHLMC approved servicer; or

any failure by the Servicer, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to (a) remit payment of a Prepayment Premium to the Collection Account or (b) remit funds in the amount equal to a Prepayment Premium which the Servicer has failed to collect, in each case as required pursuant to this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure (which notice shall be confirmed electronically or via facsimile), requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor; or

(xii)

any failure by the Servicer to comply with Sections 3.17 or 3.18.

The Trustee shall deliver the written notice to the Servicer of the Event of Default set forth in clause (i) above on the Servicer Remittance Date on which the Servicer fails to make any deposit or payment required pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to Advances to the extent required under Section 4.01). Upon termination of the Servicer pursuant to an Event of Default under clause (i) above and assumption of the duties of the Servicer by the Trustee or other successor servicer, as applicable, appointed pursuant to this Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, such successor servicer shall make any related deposit or payment required pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to Advances to the extent required herein) no later than the Distribution Date related to the Servicer Remittance Date. In the event that the Servicer cures any Event of Default under clause (i) above by late deposit or payment of any amount required pursuant to this Agreement and the Trustee or other successor servicer, as applicable, shall have previously made any or all of such deposit or payment on behalf of the Servicer or in its capacity as successor to the Servicer, the Servicer shall be obligated to reimburse the Trustee or other successor servicer, as applicable, for the amount of any such deposit or payment plus interest on such amount from the date of deposit or payment by the Trustee or other successor servicer, as applicable, through the date of reimbursement by the Servicer calculated at a rate equal the prime rate as then published in The Wall Street Journal plus 2.0% per annum.

Other than an Event of Default resulting from a failure of the Servicer to make any required Advance, or an Event of Default set forth in clause (xii) above, if an Event of Default shall occur and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge thereof, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, may, or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder).

If an Event of Default results from the failure of the Servicer to make a required Advance or an Event of Default set forth in clause (xii) occurs, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer and the Depositor (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, with respect to an Event of Default set forth in clause (xii), the Depositor, at its sole option, but with the consent of the Trustee, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Accountant’s Attestation, but in no event later than March 25^th of such year.

Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice of termination, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee or its nominee subject to Section 7.02. Upon written request from the Trustee or DLJMC, as applicable, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Trustee or DLJMC, as applicable, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all related Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be done all other reasonable and customary acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the Servicer’s sole expense or at the expense of DLJMC if the Servicer fails to cover such expenses.

A terminated Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, with respect to a terminated Servicer, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to a related Collection Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the related Mortgage Loans. The Trustee or other successor servicer, as applicable, shall thereupon make any Advance to the extent required pursuant to Section 4.01 and subject to the Trustee or such other successor’s determination that such Advance would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or unless prohibited by applicable law. The Trustee or other successor entity, as applicable, is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the 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 related Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise.

All reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with transferring servicing to a successor Servicer shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice terminating the Servicer’s rights and obligations as the Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion of the Servicing Fee thereof to which the Servicer would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder in accordance with Section 3.09 hereof and in the time period specified in Section 3.09 hereof. The Servicer shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 hereof, notwithstanding any termination hereunder, with respect to any events occurring prior to such termination.

In no event shall the termination of the Servicer under this Agreement result in any diminution of the Servicer's right to reimbursement for any outstanding Advances or Servicing Advances or accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees due the Servicer at the time of termination. The successor Servicer shall reimburse the terminated Servicer for outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent that such amounts become reimbursable from time to time pursuant to Section 3.09 of this Agreement; provided, however, that such right of reimbursement shall be limited to funds that are on deposit in the Collection Account and available to the Servicer for such purposes pursuant to Section 3.09 of this Agreement. In addition, any such reimbursement for outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees shall be made on a first in, first out ("FIFO") basis no later than the Servicer Remittance Date of each month.

SECTION 7.02

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement, the Trustee or a successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.01, subject to and to the extent provided herein, either shall be the successor to the Servicer, but only in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and not in any other, and the transactions set forth herein or shall appoint a successor servicer, and in either event such successor servicer shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the successor servicer shall be entitled to all funds relating to the related Mortgage Loans that the terminated Servicer would have been entitled to charge to a Collection Account, provided that the terminated Servicer shall nonetheless be entitled to payment or reimbursement as provided in Section 3.09(a) to the extent that such payment or reimbursement relates to the period prior to the completion of the transfer of servicing to a successor servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the terminated Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to 4.01 hereof, or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $10,000,000, which is willing to service the related Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01 hereunder), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. Any successor servicer appointed by DLJMC shall be rated as a servicer of subprime mortgage loans as “average” (or its equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency that maintains a servicer rating system. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee or other successor servicer unless such entity is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to the limitations described herein, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of a servicing fee rate of 0.50% per annum. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the terminated Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

Any successor to the Servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer. Any successor to the Servicer shall, during the term of its service as the Servicer maintain in force the policy or policies of the type that the Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to this Agreement.

In connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer, at its sole expense, shall cooperate with the successor Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan (at the cost and expense of the successor Servicer to the extent such costs relate to the qualification of such successor Servicer as a member of MERS, otherwise at the cost and expense of the predecessor Servicer). The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The successor Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.

SECTION 7.03

Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)

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

(b)

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

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.01

Duties of the Trustee.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured and not waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.

No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i)

unless an Event of Default actually known to the Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;

(ii)

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

(iv)

no provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to act as Servicer or be responsible in any way for the acts or omissions of the Servicer until such time as it acts as successor servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and

(v)

the Trustee shall have no duty (A) (other than in its capacity as successor servicer) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing of any thereof, (B) (other than in its capacity as successor servicer) to see to any insurance, (C) (other than with respect to Section 8.11 hereof) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund, (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the appropriate party.

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

Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.

(a)

In addition to the Trustee Fee, the Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account on each Distribution Date prior to making distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 any investment income or other benefit derived from balances in the Certificate Account for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.09(b). Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.05(b), the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Depositor and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement or the Custodial Agreements, (b) the Certificates, or (c) the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder (including, without limitation, website posting of statements, reports or other information as required under this Agreement) or under the Custodial Agreements, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Depositor covenants and agrees, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8.05(b), and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services hereunder, (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates and (D) any other reasonable expenses incurred other than in the ordinary course of its business by the Trustee in connection with its duties hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee or Paying Agent hereunder or for any other expenses.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Depositor shall not be obligated to pay to the Trustee more than, in the aggregate, $150,000 pursuant to Section 8.05(a) hereof. Other than as set forth in this Section 8.05, the Trustee shall not be entitled to any other compensation or reimbursement for loss or expenses.

SECTION 8.06

Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee.

The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current Ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction), as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the proposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer and their affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer.

SECTION 8.07

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer, any Special Servicer, the Swap Counterparty and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If the Trustee gives notice of such resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal (as provided below), the resigning or removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in a sufficient number of copies to provide one copy of to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer, one copy to the Seller, one copy to the Swap Counterparty and one copy to the successor trustee.

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

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.

SECTION 8.08

Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee, the Servicer, any Special Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer and the Seller an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, any Special Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates and the Swap Counterparty. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

SECTION 8.09

Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 8.10

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.

Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)

To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee in its capacity as successor servicer under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular set or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

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

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

SECTION 8.11

Tax Matters.

It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, multiple “real estate mortgage investment conduits” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the REMICs and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare, sign and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that each group of segregated assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law) and apply for an employee identification number from the IRS via a Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities; (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC hereunder; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the sixth paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any REMIC hereunder prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to the REMICs, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined on the accrual method or at such internals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of the REMICs in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.

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

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the REMICs after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMICs pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Seller, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller’s obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) or the Servicer fails to honor its obligations pursuant to Section 8.15, any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.09(b).

The Trustee shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class X, Class A-IO-S and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial owners of Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Master REMIC corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, such interest being determined by substituting the REMIC Maximum Rate for the applicable Net Funds Cap in the definition of Pass-Through Rate for such Class of Certificates, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than a Class P, Class A-IO-S and Class R Certificate) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls of $10,000.00 as of the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article IV hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this Section 8.11. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this Section 8.11 be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).

The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax.

Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC.

The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities.

SECTION 8.12

Periodic Filings.

(a)

The Trustee, the Servicer, any Special Servicer and, if the Special Collections Servicer is required to deliver documents pursuant to Sections 3.17 and 3.18, the Special Collections Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. As set forth below, the Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Depositor any Forms 8-K, 10-D and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the Depositor shall sign and the Trustee shall file (via ▇▇▇▇▇) such Forms on behalf of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. The Depositor agrees to provide individual powers of attorney and a board resolution authorizing the grant of such power of attorney each time the Trustee acts in such capacity, and the Trustee shall file such powers of attorney and resolutions in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b)

The Trustee will prepare and file Current Reports on Form 8-K in respect of the Trust at the direction and expense of the Depositor, provided, that, the Depositor, the Seller, any Special Collections Servicer, any Special Servicer or the Servicer shall have timely notified the Trustee of an item reportable on a Form 8-K (unless such item is specific to the Trustee, in which case the Trustee will be deemed to have notice) and shall have delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the filing deadline for such Form 8-K, all information, signatures, data, and exhibits required to be provided or filed with such Form 8-K.

Any disclosure or information in addition to that described in the preceding paragraph that is required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be determined and provided to the Trustee by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit Z as the responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Trustee, in an ▇▇▇▇▇-compatible form (which may be Word or Excel documents easily convertible to ▇▇▇▇▇ format), in each case no later than March 15 of each year.

If such documents are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly or timely prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct.

(e)

In addition, the Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer, each Person, if any, that “controls” the Depositor or the Servicer within the meaning of the Securities Act and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 8.12 or any inaccuracy made in the Trustee Certification. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.12(d) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Trustee shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or the Servicer on the one hand and the Trustee on the other. The Trustee acknowledges that the Depositor is relying on the Trustee’s performance of its obligations under this Section 8.12 in order to perform its obligations under Section 8.12(b) above.

(f)

Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the Depositor’s Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commissions (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) the Servicer will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate for the prior calendar year, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit W (a “Servicer Certification”). The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor, the Trustee, each Person, if any, who “controls” the Depositor or the Trustee within the meaning of the Securities Act and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain arising out of third party claims based on (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered when required any Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to this Section 8.12(d), or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in any Officer’s Certificate provided pursuant to this Section 8.12(e). If an event occurs that would otherwise result in an indemnification obligation under clauses (i) or (ii) above, but the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.12(e) by the Servicer is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or the Trustee on the one hand and the Servicer on the other. The Servicer acknowledges that the Depositor and the Trustee are relying on the Servicer’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement in order to perform their respective obligations under this Section 8.12.

(g)

Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a copy of any executed report, statement or information.

(h)

If the Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or promulgates additional rules or regulations with respect to Regulation AB or otherwise, or if other changes in applicable law occur, that would require the reporting arrangements, or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section 8.12, to be conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 8.12 in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 8.12. Any such amendment shall be made in accordance with Section 10.01 without the consent of the Certificateholders, and may result in a change in the reports filed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust under the Exchange Act.

In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the negligence of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Class R Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Class R Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken by it in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

SECTION 9.01

Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage Loans.

(a)

Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer, any Special Servicer and the Trustee created hereunder with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of:

(A) the purchase by the Terminating Entity, at its election, of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining (which purchase right the Terminating Entity may exercise at its sole and exclusive election as of any Distribution Date (such applicable Distribution Date being herein referred to as the “Optional Termination Date”)) at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property) plus one month’s accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate, (ii) with respect to any REO Property, the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Depositor at the expense of the Depositor and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate, (iii) any unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees and Trustee Fees payable to the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, which shall be entitled to withdraw such amounts from the applicable Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a) and (iv) the amount of any unpaid Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty (the sum of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Par Value”).

(B) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement.

In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of (i) 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof or (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

The right to repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (A) above shall be conditioned upon (x) if no NIM Note is outstanding or if the Holders of all outstanding NIM Notes consent in writing to such repurchase, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Initial Cut-off Date; and (y) if any NIM Note is outstanding or if the Holders of all outstanding NIM Notes have not consented in writing to such repurchase, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Initial Cut-off Date.

In the event that the Class X Certificateholder elects to be the Terminating Entity, the Terminating Entity shall direct the Servicer to exercise its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Trust. The Class X Certificateholder shall deliver to the Servicer and cause the Servicer to deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Par Value for the Mortgage Loans purchased by the Terminating Entity. If the Class X Certificateholder elects to be the Terminating Entity, the Class X Certificateholder shall be obligated to reimburse the Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its termination of the Trust Fund at the direction of the majority Class X Certificateholder. In addition, the Class X Certificateholder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer for any losses, liabilities or expense resulting from any claims directly resulting from or relating to the Servicer’s termination of the Trust Fund at the direction of the majority Class X Certificateholder, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from such funds deposited in the Certificate Account (i) any amounts which the Servicer would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.09 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 9.02 below. Upon delivery of the Par Value, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Terminating Entity the related Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Class X Certificateholder is eligible to be the Terminating Entity on any Optional Termination Date and does not exercise its right to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties from the Trust, the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties from the Trust on such Optional Termination Date shall not be exercised.

SECTION 9.02

Final Distribution on the Certificates.

If on any Determination Date, the Trustee determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Accounts and Certificate Account, the Trustee shall promptly send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the Terminating Entity elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, at least 10 days prior to the first day of the Optional Termination Notice Period, the Terminating Entity shall notify the Servicer, any Special Servicer, any Special Collections Servicer, the Rating Agencies, the Swap Counterparty and the Trustee of the date it intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 10th day preceding such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

On the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, and to the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager distributions and payments in accordance with Section 4.02.

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

SECTION 9.03

Additional Termination Requirements.

(a)

In the event the Terminating Entity exercises its purchase option with respect to the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, at such time as the Mortgage Loans are so purchased, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been provided with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Terminating Entity, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC as defined in Section 860E of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

(1)

Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in the notice given by the Trustee under Section 9.02, the Depositor shall prepare and the Trustee shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), meets the requirements of a qualified liquidation;

(2)

Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Depositor for cash in accordance with Section 9.01; and

(3)

On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the Trustee shall, after payment of any unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees or other fee compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, make final distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.02 and distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other than the cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC) shall terminate at that time.

(b)

The Trustee as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Depositor, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.

(c)

By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Depositor to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation.

(ii)

the Holder of the next largest Percentage Interest of Class X Certificates, if the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of Class X Certificates is the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor and DLJMC is not the owner of the servicing rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan on the Optional Termination Date;

the Servicer on the Optional Termination Date, if the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor is the Holder of 100% of the Class X Certificates and DLJMC is not the owner of the servicing rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan on the Optional Termination Date; provided, however, that if such Servicer does not exercise its option to purchase the Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust, each other servicer, in sequential order from the servicer servicing the second largest percentage, the third largest percentage, and so forth, to the servicer servicing the smallest percentage, in each case by outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans on such Optional Termination Date, shall be the Terminating Entity.

(b)

No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the first day of the Optional Termination Notice Period, the Trustee shall provide notice to the Servicer of the identity of the Terminating Entity.

The Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, any Special Collections Servicer and the Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code; provided, that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, the Swap Counterparty’s prior written consent shall be required for any amendment that adversely affects in any respect the rights and interest hereunder of the Swap Counterparty.

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

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

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01. The Trustee shall have no obligation to consent to any amendment that it reasonably believes will materially and adversely affect its rights or immunities under this Agreement.

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.01, the Trustee, the Custodians, the Credit Risk Manager, the Servicer and the Special Collections Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and its counsel to enter into such amendments or modifications to the Agreement as may be necessary to comply with Regulation AB and any interpretation thereof by the Commission.

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

SECTION 10.04

Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund, including the Mortgage Loans, by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets to secure payment or performance of an obligation, then the Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall have and shall continue to have a perfected security interest to secure payment or performance of an obligation of first priority under applicable law throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and continuation statements in connection with such security interest.
