(a)

Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of written notice of any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of a breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Loan that materially and adversely affects the value of such Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document, cure such defect or breach within 60 days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Truste e (upon receipt by a Responsible Officer or written notice of such failure to cure) shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Loan shall be deposited in the Distribution Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit and receipt by the Custodian of a properly completed request for release for such Loan in the form of Exhibit 3 to the related Custodial Agreement, shall release or cause the applicable Custodian to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warra nty, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Loan) and substitute one or more Substitute Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee d iscovers or receives written notice that the representation made by the Seller in Section 6(xxiv) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is breached, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller to repurchase such Loan at the Purchase Price, or to provide a Substitute Loan (plus any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation by any such Loan of any predatory or abusive lending law) within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such breach.

In addition, should the Master Servicer become aware of  or in the event of its receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the Seller set forth in Section 5(x) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller and the Trustee of such breach.

Within one year of the date of substitution, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer a final certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement with respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and shall be retained by the Seller.  For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Cert ificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Substitute Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Substitute Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included herein or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Substitute Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the Due Date in the month of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behal f of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Substitute Loan or Loans and upon receipt of certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit and receipt by the applicable Custodian of a properly completed request for release for such Loan in the form of Exhibit 3 to the related Custodial Agreement, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Loan released pursuant hereto.

(c)

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, that any Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or substitute one or more Substitute Loans for the affected Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Seller, if the affected Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage does not result from a breach of representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.3(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller or the Depositor the Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

(g)

To the extent a Servicer is obligated under the related Servicing Agreement to procure the consent of the Master Servicer in connection with the Servicer’s engagement of a Subservicer to perform any servicing responsibilities under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to the related Loans, the Master Servicer will only give such consent if both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the NIMS Insurer, if any,  has previously consented thereto in writing and (ii) that Subservicer first agrees in writing with such Servicer and the Master Servicer to deliver an Annual Statement of Compliance, an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permit that Servicer and the Master Servicer to comply with Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 of this Agreement.

(h)

The Master Servicer shall enforce any negative covenant in the related Servicing Agreement which prohibits a Servicer from outsourcing one or more separate servicing functions under the related Servicing Agreement with respect to the Loans to any Subcontractor unless both of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the NIMS Insurer previously agrees in writing to such outsourcing and (ii) that Subcontractor first agrees in writing with such Servicer and the Master Servicer to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner and at such times that permits that Servicer and the Master Servicer to comply with Section 3.17 and 3.18 of this Agreement.

Section 3.4

Fidelity Bond.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.  Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond may not be cancelable without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any.

During such time as the respective Servicer and the Master Servicer are resolving discrepancies with respect to the Prepayment Charges, no payments in respect of any disputed Prepayment Charges will be remitted to the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to remit such payments, unless otherwise required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.  In connection with such duties, the Master Servicer shall be able to rely solely on the information provided to it by the respective Servicer in accordance with this Section.  The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for verifying the accuracy of any of the information provided to it by the respective Servicer or for performing the Master Servicer’s duties under this Section 3.28 with respect to a Servicer if such Servicer is unable or unwilling to provide the required data to the Master Servicer or is not required to provide such information to the Master Servicer.

Section 3.32

 Special Servicing.

Upon any Loan becoming ninety (90) days or more delinquent, the Majority Class CE Certificateholder shall have the option to transfer servicing with respect to such delinquent Loan to a Special Servicer. Immediately upon the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer with respect to any Loan, the Special Servicer shall service such Loan in accordance with (i) all provisions of this Agreement which were applicable to the former Servicer prior to such transfer of servicing and (ii) any Special Servicer Agreement.  Upon the exercise of such option and with respect to Loans that currently or subsequently become ninety (90) days or more delinquent, servicing on such Loans will transfer to the Special Servicer, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer and Credit Risk Manager, without any further action by the Majority Class CE Certificateholder.  Any Special Servicer Agreement shall be acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies and will not modify any material terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to, increasing the Servicing Fee payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement. If any Loan is serviced by the Special Servicer and subsequently becomes less than ninety (90) days delinquent, such Loan shall be serviced by the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement exclusively, without regard to any Special Servicer Agreement.  Upon the appointment of the Special Servicer, all provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and enforceable against the Special Servicer as if such Special Servicer were an original signatory and party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the transfer of servicing with respect to any such Loan to the Special Servicer, the former Servicer (or any successor thereto other than the Special Servicer) shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities wi th respect to such Loan.  Any costs and expenses of the Master Servicer and Trustee in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of any Special Servicer Agreement and the transfer of servicing to a Special Servicer shall be an expense of the Majority Class CE Certificateholder (or, if the Majority Class CE Certificateholder fails to make prompt reimbursement, then from amounts due to the Class CE Certificates under this Agreement).  In the event that a Special Servicer is appointed under this Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled with respect to such Special Servicer and its related Special Servicer Agreement, to all the benefits, rights, indemnities and limitations on liability accorded to them under this Agreement in respect of the Servicer.

Section 3.33

 Purchase of Delinquent Loans.

Upon a Loan becoming ninety (90) days or more delinquent, the Servicer (or any successor thereto other than the Special Servicer) may be terminated as Servicer with respect to that Loan at the sole option of the Majority Class CE Certificateholder and all servicing rights and responsibilities, with respect to such Loan, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer, will transfer to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.32.  If the Majority Class CE Certificateholder does not exercise such option with respect to any such Loan and has not exercised such option previously, within ninety (90) days following the date on which such Loan became 90 days delinquent, the Servicer shall have the right to purchase such Loan from REMIC I at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however that prior to such purchase the Servicer shall have (i) determined in good faith that such Loan would ot herwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings and (ii) provided evidence of such determination in writing to the Master Servicer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer and the Master Servicer.  The Purchase Price for any Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of a written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee, upon request and receipt of such certification, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Loan released pursuant hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, once the Majority Class CE Certificateholder exercises its rights under Section 3.32, the Servicer will no longer have the right to purchase any Loans that become ninety (90) days or more delinquent.

Section 4.2

Allocation of Realized Losses.  

Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, based solely on the information provided by the related Servicer, shall determine the amount of Realized Losses, if any, with respect to each Loan.

Realized Losses on the Loans for any Distribution Date will first, cause a reduction in Net Monthly Excess Cash Flow for that Distribution Date, second, reduce any available Net Certificate Swap I Provider Payments from the Certificate Swap I Provider and any available Net Certificate Swap II Provider Payments from the Certificate Swap II Provider for that Distribution Date, and third cause a reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates for that Distribution Date, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.  To the extent that Realized Losses on a Distribution Date cause the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates (other than the Interest Only Certificates), the Mezzanine Certificates and Class P Certificates, after taking into account all distributions on such Distribution Date, to exc eed the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period, the pro rata portion of such excess Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group (such pro rata determination to be based on the amount of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group) will be allocated first, sequentially, to the Class M-9, Class M-8 Class M-7, Class M-6, Class M-5, Class M-4, Class M-3, Class M-2 and Class M-1 Certificates, in that order, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero, and second, (x) the remaining portion of the Realized Losses on Group II Loans, will be allocated, sequentially, to the Class I-A-2 and Class I-A-1 Certificates, in that order, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero and (y) the remaining portion of the Realized Losses on Group I Loans, will be allocated, sequentially, to the Class II-A-2 and Class II-A-1 Certifi cates, in that order, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero.  In addition, to the extent the related Servicer receives Subsequent Recoveries with respect to any defaulted Loan, the amount of the Realized Loss with respect to that defaulted Loan will be reduced to the extent such Subsequent Recoveries are applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date.

Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Senior Certificate (other than the Interest Only Certificates) or Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated as of such Distribution Date after all distributions on such Distribution Date have been made.  Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iii)(g). No allocations of Realized Losses shall be made to the Class P Certificates.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will the Certificate Principal Balance of any Senior Certificate (other than the Interest Only Certificates) or Mezzanine Certificate, be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (i) allocable to such Senior Certif icate (other than the Interest Only Certificates) or Mezzanine Certificate, in respect of Realized Losses and (ii) payable as principal to the Holder of such Certificate from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and amounts on deposit in the Certificate Swap I Account and the Certificate Swap II Account.

As used herein, any allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

Any Subsequent Recoveries collected by the Servicers will be distributed as part of the Available Distribution Amount in accordance with the priorities described under Section 4.1.  In addition, the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates that has been reduced by the allocation of a Realized Loss to such Certificate will be increased (a) first, (x) with respect to Subsequent Recoveries on Group I Loans, sequentially, to the Class I-A-1 and Class I-A-2 Certificates, in that order, and (y) with respect to Subsequent Recoveries on Group II Loans, sequentially, to the Class II-A-1 and Class II-A-2 Certificates, in that order, and (b) second, in order of seniority with respect to the Mezzanine Certificates, by the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries, but only to the extent that such Certificate has not been reimbursed for the amount of such Realized Loss (or a portion thereof) allocated to such Certificate from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow or from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Swap I Account and the Certificate Swap II Account.  Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs.

All reductions in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate effected by distributions of principal or allocations of Realized Losses with respect to Loans made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all Holders of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such distribution is noted on such Certificate.

Section 4.3

For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Certificate Swap II Account.  The Certificate Swap II Account shall be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).  Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Senior Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Certificate Swap II Account shall be released by the Trust and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders.  The Certificate Swap II Account shall be part of the Supplemental Interest Trust but not part of any REMIC.

In the event that the Certificate Swap II Agreement is terminated prior to the Termination Date (as defined in the applicable Certificate Swap II Agreement), the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, at the direction of the Depositor, shall use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Certificate Swap II Provider using any Swap Termination Payments paid by the Certificate Swap II Provider within 30 days of the termination of the Certificate Swap II Agreement.  To the extent the Supplemental Interest Trust is required to pay a Swap Termination Payment to the Certificate Swap II Provider, all or a portion of such amount received from a replacement Certificate Swap II Provider upon entering into a replacement Certificate Swap II Agreement or similar agreement will be applied to the Swap Termination Payment owing to the Certificate Swap II Provider, and any remain ing portion will be distributed to Certificateholders according to the order of priorities of Section 4.1(a)(vii) above.  If the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust is unable to locate a qualified successor Certificate Swap II Provider within 30 days of the termination of the Certificate Swap II Agreement, any such Swap Termination Payments will be deposited in the Certificate Swap II Account and the Securities Administrator, on each subsequent Distribution Date (until the termination date of the Certificate Swap II Agreement or the appointment of a successor Certificate Swap II Provider), will withdraw the amount of any Net Certificate Swap II Provider Payment due to the Supplemental Interest Trust (calculated in accordance with the terms of the Certificate Swap II Agreement) and distribute such Net Certificate Swap II Provider Payment to the holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.1.

Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trust ee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(d)

No Transfer of a Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the 1933 Act and such state securities laws. In the event of any such transfer in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Cert ificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or and the NIMS Insurer, if any.  Each Holder of a Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, 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.

(e)

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received in accordance with Exhibit C or Exhibit O as applicable, either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, 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 Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, 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 Sponsor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the NIMS Insurer, if any, to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be a n 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 and the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the Certificate Swap I Agreement and the Certificate Swap II Agreement, as applicable, shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit O, 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) prior to the termination of the Certificate Swap I Agreement and the Certificate Swap II Agreement, as applicable, the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60 or PTCE 96-23, the statutory exemption in the n on-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or some other applicable statutory or administrative exemption.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect.  If the ERISA-Restricted Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust 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 Sponsor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any  liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.3(e) 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 Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(f)

Each Transferee of a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of the related Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Transferee of a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)

Each such Transferee shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(ii)

No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.

(iii)

In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:

(A)

an affidavit in the form of Exhibit C hereto from the proposed Transferee to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and

(B)

a covenant of the proposed Transferee to the effect that the proposed Transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Class R Certificates.

(iv)

Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported Transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate.  The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Class R 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 Securities Administrator received the documents specified in clause (iii).  The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class R Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be distributed and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

(v)

If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Class R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities Administrator to the previous Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Securities Administrator determines that the Holder of such Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due unde r this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Securities Administrator and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi)

If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of Class R interests to Disqualified Organizations.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Securities Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.  The Holder of the Class R Certificate issued hereunder, while not a Disqualified Organization, is the Tax Matters Person.

(g)

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Securities Administrator may require 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.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled by the Securities Administrator and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

Section 5.4

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or (ii) the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, if any, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and the Trustee and NIMS Insurer, as applicable, shall deliver notice thereof to the Securities Administrator, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities Administrator 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 Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Trus tee or the Securities Administrator 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 connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.5

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, or the NIMS Insurer, if any, or any agent of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 6.10

Transfer of Servicing by the Seller of Certain Loans Serviced by GMAC; Special Servicer.

(a)

The Seller may, at its option, transfer the servicing responsibilities of GMACM as a Servicer with respect to the Loans serviced pursuant to the GMACM Servicing Agreement at any time without cause. No such transfer shall become effective unless and until a successor to GMACM shall have been appointed to service and administer the related Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of the GMACM Servicing Agreement or a servicing agreement that is reasonably acceptable to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies. No appointment shall be effective unless (i) such successor to GMACM meets the eligibility criteria set forth in this Section 6.10, (ii) the Master Servicer shall have consented to such appointment, (iii) the Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing that such appointment will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then curre nt ratings assigned to the Certificates and (iv) all amounts reimbursable to GMACM under the GMACM Servicing Agreement shall have been paid to GMACM, and all servicing transfer costs incurred by the Master Servicer shall have been paid to it, by the successor appointed pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.10 or by the Seller including without limitation, all unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances made by GMACM and all out-of-pocket expenses of GMACM incurred in connection with the transfer of servicing to such successor. The Seller shall provide a copy of the written confirmation of the Rating Agencies and the servicing agreement executed by such successor to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Credit Risk Manager and the Master Servicer.  In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Seller may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted GMACM under the GMACM Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor to GMACM appointed under this Agreement with respect to the Loans serviced pursuant to the GMACM Servicing Agreement must (i) be an established mortgage loan servicing institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such successor Servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of GMACM (other than liabilities of GMACM incurred prior to the transfer of servicing from GMACM) under the GMACM Servicing Agreement in connection with the servicing and administration of the related Loans or a servicing agreement that is reasonably a cceptable to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies.

(b)

In addition, if any Loan serviced by GMACM becomes ninety (90) days or more delinquent, the Seller shall have the option to transfer servicing with respect to such delinquent Loan to a Special Servicer. Immediately upon the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer with respect to any Loan, the Special Servicer shall service such Loan in accordance with the GMACM Servicing Agreement and a Special Servicer Agreement.  Upon the exercise of such option and with respect to Loans that currently or subsequently become ninety (90) days or more delinquent, servicing on such Loans will transfer to the Special Servicer, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer, without any further action by the Seller.  Any Special Servicer Agreement shall be acceptable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies and will not modify any material terms of the GMACM Servicing Agreement, including but not limited to, increasing the Servicing Fee which was payable to GMACM with respect to such Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the transfer of servicing with respect to any such Loan to the Special Servicer, GMACM (or any successor thereto other than the Special Servicer) shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to such Loan.  If any Loan is serviced by the Special Servicer and subsequently becomes less than ninety (90) days delinquent, such Loan shall be serviced by the Special Servicer in accordance with the GMACM Servicing Agreement exclusively, without regard to any Special Servicer Agreement.  Upon the appointment of the Special Servicer all provisions of the GMACM Servicing Agreement shall be binding on and enforceable against the Special Servicer as if such Special Servicer was an original signatory and party to the GMACM Servicing Agreement. Any costs and expenses of the Master Service r in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of any Special Servicer Agreement and the transfer of servicing to a Special Servicer shall be an expense of the Seller.  In the event that a Special Servicer is appointed under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled with respect to such Special Servicer and its related Special Servicer Agreement, to all the benefits, rights, indemnities and limitations on liability accorded to them under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement in respect of GMACM.

If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (ii) through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of (a) the NIMS Insurer, if any, or (b) the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) in its capacity as Master Servicer (and in its capacity as Securities Administ rator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4, if a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, promptly terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement (and in its capacity as Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement, whether wi th respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) 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 Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.1, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.

Section 7.2

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) in its capacity as Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.3 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.23(c)), including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make Advances no later than each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.4; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Trustee determines that such advance would constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.4; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 7.1 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder and neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated master servicer.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Loans, investment earnings on the Distribution Account and all other remuneration to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to the immediately following paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans or if the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 51% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates so request in writing promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee’s obligation to act as successor securities administrator pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall extend only to the responsibilities of the Securities Administrator set forth in Article 4.

No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer’s (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s) responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. The transition costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the replacement of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) shall be reimbursed out of the Trust.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee, in its individual capacity, be liable for any Servicing Fee or Master Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee or Master Servicing Fee paid hereunder or under the applicable Servicing Agreement and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer or successor master servicer to act as successor servicer or successor master servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein or in the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.3

Notification to Certificateholders.  

(a)

Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.1 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.2 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b)

Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the NIMS Insurer, if any, and all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.4

Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.  

With the prior written consent of the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Holders evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event of Default under clause (vi) of Section 7.1 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Interest Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively. During the continuance of a Master Servicer Event of Default, 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 its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the Securities Administrator shall provide notice to the Trustee thereof and the Trustee shall provide notice to the NIMS Insurer, if any, and the Certificateholders.

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

(i)

Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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 or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, 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 or the Securities Administrator, respectively, that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% (or such other percentage set forth in this Agreement) of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under this Agreement.

No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Securities Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.1. Any such amounts held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be held in an Eligible Account and the Securities Administrator may direct any depository institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one or more Eligible Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall deposit in such account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Eligible Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon the realization of such loss.

Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

Each such election shall be made by the Securities Administrator on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of each REMIC created hereby, the regular interests and residual interests in each REMIC shall be designated in accordance with the Preliminary Statement hereto.  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall permit the creation of any “interests” in any REMIC formed hereby (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other tha n the REMIC Regular Interests and Class R Certificates.

(b)

The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)

The Securities Administrator shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel except as specified herein. The Securities Administrator, as agent for each REMIC’s tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of each Class of Residual Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the related REMIC created hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.

(d)

The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file and, upon the request of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee shall sign all of the Tax Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(e)

The Securities Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee upon receipt of additional reasonable compensation, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue disc ount and market discount or premium (using the prepayment assumption, as set forth in the Prospectus, as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who shall serve as the representative of each REMIC.

(f)

To the extent in the control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, each such Person (i) shall take such action and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund 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 (A) endanger the status of each REMIC as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless s uch action or inaction is permitted under this Agreement or the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to them (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor (iii) shall the Securities Administrator take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and the Securities Administrator shall not take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel (and conclusively rely upon the advice of such counsel) to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee.

(g)

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the M aster Servicer pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or under this Article X, or (iv) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.

(h)

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

(i)

Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC other than in connection with any Substitute Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.3 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

(j)

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(k)

The Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC. In connection with the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain information required to be reported to the holders of Regular Interests in each REMIC as required by IRS Form 8811.

(l)

The Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) (the “Component Certificates”) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class CE Certificates.  Pursuant to each such notional principal contract all beneficial owners of Component Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class CE 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 to each Class of Certificates to the extent that interest accrued on such Class for the related Interest Accrual Period at the Pass-Through Rate for a Class, computed by substituting “REMIC Maximum Rate” for the applicable “Net WAC Pass-Through Rate” in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued for the related Interest Accrual Period based on the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Component 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 CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the beneficial owners of the Component Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.   Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Ce rtificates) 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 Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts of $10,000 as of the Closing Date.


Section 10.2

 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer  or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for any REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Substitute Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.3), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

Section 10.3

 Indemnification.  

(a)

The Trustee agrees to be liable for any taxes and costs incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, as a result of the Trustee’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in this Article X in accordance with the standard of care of the Trustee set forth in this Agreement.

(b)

The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, if any, for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee, or the NIMS Insurer, if any, as a result of the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in Article III in accordance with the standard of care of the Master Servicer set forth in this Agreement.

(c)

The Securities Administrator agrees to be liable for any taxes and costs incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, if any, as a result of the Securities Administrator’s failure to perform its covenants set forth in this Article X in accordance with the standard of care of the Securities Administrator set forth in this Agreement.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, be, and be construed as, a sale of the Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Loans to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to tim e in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Loans and the Trust Fund ; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in the Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [_____] Certificates with respect to a trust fund generally consisting of a pool of conventional, fixed- and adjustable-rate first lien residential mortgage loans (the “Loans”) secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned unit developments and individual condominium units (the “Trust Fund”).

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN ACE SECURITIES CORP., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Loans and related assets sold by ACE Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”).  This Certificate is primarily backed by the Loans sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor.  Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administ rator”), U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class [_____] Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class [_____] Certificates or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities A dministrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

The Pass-Through Rate with respect to Class [_____] Certificates for each Distribution Date is as set forth in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.  The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the related Loans and certain other assets of the Trust Fund, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Accounts may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Loans.  

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates (with the consent of the Certificate Swap I Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap I Agreement and the Certificate Swap II Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap II Agreement).  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and o f any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Loans at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.




IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST , SERIES 2007-2
MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class CE  Certificates with respect to a trust fund generally consisting of a pool of conventional, fixed- and adjustable-rate first lien residential mortgage loans (the “Loans”) secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned unit developments and individual condominium units (the “Trust Fund”).

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN ACE SECURITIES CORP., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Loans and related assets sold by ACE Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”).  The Loans were sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor.  Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), U.S. B ank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class CE Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class CE Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Admin istrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.  The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Accounts may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Loans.  

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates (with the consent of the Certificate Swap I Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap I Agreement and the Certificate Swap II Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap II Agreement).  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and o f any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event of any such transfer in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E (the “Investment Let ter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.  None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Admi nistrator 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.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Loans remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of (A) all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Loans and related assets sold by ACE Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”).  The Loans were sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor.  Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), U.S. B ank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class P Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.  The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Loans and certain other assets of the Trust Fund, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Accounts may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Loans.  

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates (with the consent of the Certificate Swap I Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap I Agreement and the Certificate Swap II Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap II Agreement).  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and o f any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event of any such transfer in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and such state securities laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E (the “Investment Let ter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.  None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.  Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Admi nistrator 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.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST , SERIES 2007-2
MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class R  Certificates with respect to a trust fund generally consisting of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans (the “Loans”) secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned unit developments and individual condominium units (the “Trust Fund”) P.

THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN ACE SECURITIES CORP., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This certifies that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Loans and related assets sold by ACE Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”).  The Loans were sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor.  Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), U.S. B ank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class R Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Admini strator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.  The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Loans and certain other assets of the Trust Fund, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Accounts may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Loans.  

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates (with the consent of the Certificate Swap I Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap I Agreement and the Certificate Swap II Provider only with respect to matters affecting the Certificate Swap II Agreement).  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and o f any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the Securities Administrator of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.

No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.3(e) of the Agreement.

Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Securities Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as representing the beneficial ownership of the residual interests in each REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those rela ting to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.3(e) of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion of the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of (A) all of the Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase all the Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Loans at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating to the applicable Loan; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans, as applicable, and the fair market value of each related REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of purchase, being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility for their correctness.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

2.

In connection with purchases by the Transferee, the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144A”) because (i) the Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $________________1 in securities (except for the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the Transferee satisfies the criteria in the category marked below.

___

For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

5.

The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.

7.

The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

All such insurance polici es contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and the Seller has not engaged in any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such insurance policies. Except as may be limited by applicable law, the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

Except as the Mortgage File may reflect, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;

The Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and has the full right to convey, transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and immediately upon the sale, assignment and endorsement of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have good and indefeasible title to and be the sole legal owner of the Mortgage Loans subject only to any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest arising out of the Purchaser’s actions;

As of the date the Mortgage Loan was purchased by the Seller, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there was no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;

(xiii)

To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgage Loan is not subject to any valid right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(xxi)

With respect to any Mortgage Loan with an original Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 80%, the Mortgage Loan will be insured by a primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy, issued by an insurer which meets the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property required by FNMA.  All provisions of such primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid.  Any Mortgage subject to any such primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith.  The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium;

SECTION 15.

Agreement of Parties.  The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Survival.  The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.

Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee with respect to whether such action could result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”), and the Servicer shall not take any such action or cause the trust fund to take any such action as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

The Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer an individual Mortgage Loan accounting report (a “Report”), as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Servicer’s assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis.

(r)  Section 5.03 of the Servicing Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

(b)

The obligation of the Servicer to make such Monthly Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Monthly Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Monthly Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Owner.

If the Company disagrees with the determination of the Master Servicer, the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of its recei pt of the Verification Report, notify the Master Servicer of such disagreement and provide the Master Servicer with detailed information to support the Company’s position.  The Company and the Master Servicer shall cooperate to resolve any discrepancy on or prior to the immediately succeeding Remittance Date, and the Company will indicate the effect of such resolution on the related remittance report and shall adjust the amount remitted with respect to prepayments on such Remittance Date accordingly.

(Multicurrency—Cross Border)

ISDA®

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.

MASTER AGREEMENT

dated as of     August 31, 2007


DEUTSCHE BANK AG, NEW YORK BRANCH

and

U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee for Deutsche Alt-A Securities Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2007-2

(Party A)

 

(Party B)

have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”) that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:

1.

Interpretation

(a)

Definitions.  The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

(b)

Inconsistency.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

(c)

Single Agreement.  All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2.

Obligations

(a)

General Conditions.

(i)

Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.

(ii)

Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

(iii)

Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.


(b)

Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.

(c)

Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:—

(i)

in the same currency; and

(ii)

in respect of the same Transaction,

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries.

(d)

Deduction or Withholding for Tax.

(i)

Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (“X”) will:—

(1)

promptly notify the other party (“Y”) of such requirement;

(2)

pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;

(3)

promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and

(4)

if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:—

(A)

the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

(B)

the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

(ii)

Liability. If:—

(1)

X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);

(2)

X does not so deduct or withhold; and

(3)

a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X,

then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

(e)

Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

3.

Representations

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that:—

(a)

Basic Representations.

(i)

Status. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing;

(ii)

(iii)

No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;

(iv)

Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and

(v)

Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance  with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)).

(b)

Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.

(c)

Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document.

(d)

Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is identified for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the information, true, accurate and complete in every material respect.

any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; and

(iii)

upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other party or its Credit Support Provider to make a payment under this Agreement or any applicable Credit Support Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification,

5.

Events of Default and Termination Events

(a)

Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an “Event of Default”) with respect to such party:—

Failure by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the party;

(iii)

Credit Support Default.

(1)

Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable grace period has elapsed;

(2)

the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of the other party; or

(3)

the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit Support Document;

(iv)

Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation under Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated;

(v)

Default under Specified Transaction.  The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Tra nsaction (or such action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf);

(vi)

(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) i s not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days  of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or

(viii)

Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:—

(1)

the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or

(2)

the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)

Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:—

(i)

Illegality.  Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party):—

(1)

to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or

(2)

to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;

(ii)

Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a Substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional a mount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));

(iii)

Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii);

(iv)

Credit Event Upon Merger. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party (“X”), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or Transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the  creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or

(v)

Additional Termination Event. If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

(c)

Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default.

6.

Early Termination

(a)

Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days’ notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as o f the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

(b)

Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.

(i)

Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.

(ii)

Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require  such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.

If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into Transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.

(iii)

Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.

(iv)

Right to Terminate. If:—

(1)

a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

(2)

an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,

either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then

continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.

(c)

Effect of Designation.

(i)

If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.

(ii)

Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).

(d)

Calculations.

(i)

Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.

(ii)

Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.

(e)

Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties’ election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either “Market Quotation” or “Loss”, and a payment method, either the “First Method” or the “Second Method”. If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that “Market Quotation” or the “Second Method”, as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.

(i)

Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default:—

(1)

First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.

(2)

First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement.

(3)

Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

(4)

Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

(ii)

Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:—

(1)

One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.

(2)

Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:—

(A)

if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement Amount (“X”) and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount (“Y”) and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and

(B)

if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss (“X”) and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss (“Y”).

If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.

(iii)

Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because “Automatic Early Termination” applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).

(iv)

Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses.

7.

Transfer

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:—

(a)

a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

(b)

a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.

8.

Contractual Currency

(a)

Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the  “Contractual Currency”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respec t of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess.

(b)

Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual  Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party. The term “rate of exchange” includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.

(c)

Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.

(d)

Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made.

9.

Miscellaneous

(a)

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.

(b)

Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.

(c)

Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction.

(d)

Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.

(e)

Counterparts and Confirmations.

(i)

This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.

(ii)

The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation.

(f)

No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(g)

Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

10.

Offices; Multibranch Parties

(a)

If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.

(b)

Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party.

(c)

If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.

11.

Expenses

A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.

12.

(b)

Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications are to be given to it.

13.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

(a)

Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.

(b)

Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement (“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably:—

(i)

submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York; and

(ii)

waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c)

Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any reason any party’s Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.

For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of w hich those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded.

“Scheduled Payment Date” means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.
