(a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files, including all interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the Depositor's rights under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including the rights of the Depositor as assignee of the Sponsor with respect to the Sponsor's rights under the Servicing Agreement. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment and set over does not and is not intended to result in a creation of an assumption by the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, except as specifically set forth herein. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that it is not intended that any -26- mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in any of (i) the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act, effective January 1, 2005. (b) In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned: (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature in the following form: "Pay to the order of ___________________, as trustee for the holders of Banc of America Funding Corporation Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 20___-___, without recourse," with all necessary intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Trustee (each such endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note) and, in the case of any Mortgage Loan originated in the State of New York documented by a NYCEMA, the NYCEMA, the new Mortgage Note, if applicable, the consolidated Mortgage Note and the consolidated Mortgage; (ii) except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage with evidence of a recording thereon, or if any such Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost, or if such public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage certified by the applicable Servicer (which may be part of a blanket certification) as being a true and correct copy of the Mortgage; (iii) subject to the provisos at the end of this paragraph, a duly executed Assignment of Mortgage to "_____________________, as trustee for the holders of Banc of America Funding Corporation Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 20___-___" (which may be included in a blanket assignment or assignments), together with, except as provided below, originals of all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage or a copy of such interim assignment certified by the Servicer (which may be part of a blanket certification) as being a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignments of Mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording office, such Assignment of Mortgage may exclude the information to be provided by the recording office; and provided, further, if the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name of Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. ("MERS") or its designee, no Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer to take all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes -27- of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS; (iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, if any; (v) any of (A) the original or duplicate original mortgagee title insurance policy and all riders thereto; (B) a title search showing no lien (other than standard exceptions) on the Mortgaged Property senior to the lien of the Mortgage or (C) an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in the applicable jurisdiction in lieu of a title insurance policy; (vi) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage Note; (vii) for each Mortgage Loan, if any, which is secured by a residential long-term lease, a copy of the lease with evidence of recording indicated thereon, or, if the lease is in the process of being recorded, a photocopy of the lease, certified by an officer of the respective prior owner of such Mortgage Loan or by the applicable title insurance company, closing/settlement/escrow agent or company or closing attorney to be a true and correct copy of the lease transmitted for recordation; (viii) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage; and (ix) for each Mortgage Loan secured by Cooperative Stock, the originals of the following documents or instruments: (A) The stock certificate; (B) The stock power executed in blank; (C) The executed proprietary lease; (D) The executed recognition agreement; (E) The executed assignment of recognition agreement, if any; (F) The executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of recording thereon; and (G) Executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate UCC financing statements required by state law, evidencing a complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a form suitable for recordation). provided, however, that on the Closing Date, with respect to item (iii), if an Assignment of Mortgage is required to be recorded as set forth below, the Depositor has delivered to the -28- Trustee or the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as the case may be, a copy of such Assignment of Mortgage in blank rather than in the name of the Trustee and has caused the Servicer to retain the completed Assignment of Mortgage for recording as described below, unless such Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee. In addition, if the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note due to the loss of such original Mortgage Note, the Depositor may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a lost note affidavit, and shall thereby be deemed to have satisfied the document delivery requirements of this Section 2.01(b). If, in connection with any Mortgage Loans, the Depositor cannot deliver (A) the Mortgage, (B) all interim recorded assignments, (C) all assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, or (D) the lender's title policy, if any, (together with all riders thereto), as applicable, satisfying the requirements of clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, or because the title policy, if applicable, has not been delivered to any of the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Depositor, as applicable, by the applicable title insurer, if any, in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as the case may be, in the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such Mortgage, such interim assignment or such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery of any such documents or instruments be made later than one year following the Closing Date, unless, in the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, there has been a continuing delay at the applicable recording office or, in the case of clause (v), there has been a continuing delay at the applicable insurer and the Depositor has delivered the Officer's Certificate to such effect to the Trustee. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, as the case may be, (1) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (2) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Servicer to the Trustee or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, as the case may be. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan the public recording office requires the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Depositor shall prepare, execute and deliver or cause to be prepared, executed and delivered, on behalf of the Trust, such a document to the public recording office. No recording of an Assignment of Mortgage will be required in a state if either (i) the Depositor furnishes to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an unqualified Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that recordation of such assignment is not necessary under applicable state law to preserve the Trustee's interest in the related Mortgage Loan against the claim of any subsequent transferee of such Mortgage Loan or any successor to, or creditor of, the Depositor or the originator of such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the recordation of an Assignment of Mortgage in such state is not required by either Rating Agency in order to obtain the initial ratings on the Certificates on the Closing Date. As set forth on Exhibit L attached hereto is a list of all states -29- where recordation is required by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial ratings of the Certificates. The Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian may rely and shall be protected in relying upon the information contained in such Exhibit L. In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, will cause the Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the such account pursuant to Section 3.09. Section 2.02. Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans. Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Trustee declares that it, or a Custodian as its agent, will hold the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and the other documents delivered to it or the Custodian as its agent, as the case may be, constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Estate delivered to it, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Upon execution and delivery of this document, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a certification in the form of Exhibit M hereto (the "Initial Certification") to the effect that, except as may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, such Person has received the original Mortgage Note relating to each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Within 90 days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee shall review, or cause the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to review, the Mortgage Files in such Person's possession, and shall deliver, no later than 30 days after completion of such review, to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a certification in the form of Exhibit N hereto (the "Final Certification") to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except as may be specified in a list of exceptions attached to such Final Certification, such Mortgage File contains all of the items required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b). In performing any such review, the Trustee and the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 or is omitted from such Mortgage File, or if the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian discovers a breach by the Servicer or the Sponsor of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Servicing Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan and such breach materially adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan (provided that any such breach that causes the Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders), then such party shall promptly so notify or cause the Custodian to promptly so notify the Master Servicer, the Sponsor, the Servicer and the Depositor of such failure to meet the requirements of Section 2.01 or of such breach and request that the Servicer or the Sponsor, as applicable, deliver such missing documentation or cure such defect breach within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such -30- defect or breach. If the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, does not deliver such missing documents or cure such breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Servicer's or Sponsor's obligation, as the case may be, under the Servicing Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and cause the Servicer or Sponsor, as applicable, to either (a) solely in the case of the Sponsor, substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth below or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such a substitution occur more than two years from the Closing Date; provided, further, that such substitution or repurchase must occur within 90 days of when such defect was discovered if such defect will cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Depositor delivers to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Estate, addressed to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited transactions" on any REMIC created hereunder or contributions after the Start-up Day, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. It is understood that the scope of the Trustee's or the Custodian's review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.01 have been received and further confirming that any and all documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 appear on their face to have been executed and relate to the applicable Mortgage Loans identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule based solely upon the review of items (i) and (xi) in the definition of Mortgage Loan Schedule. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction. In the event of a discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty of the Servicer or the Sponsor, the Trustee shall enforce the rights of the Trust under the Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders. In the event of a breach of the representations or warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans set forth in the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall enforce the right of the Trust to be indemnified for such breach of representation or warranty. In addition, if a breach of a representation with respect to a Mortgage Loan set forth in clauses ([k]) or ([o]) of paragraph [3] or clauses ([f]) or ([oo]) of paragraph [4] of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement occurs as a result of a violation of an applicable predatory or abusive lending law, the Trustee shall enforce the right of the Trust to reimbursement by the Sponsor for all costs or damages incurred by the Trust as a result of the violation of such law (such amount, the "Reimbursement Amount"), but in the case of a breach of a representation set forth in clauses ([k]) or ([o]) of paragraph [3] of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, only to the extent the -31- Servicer does not so reimburse the Trust. It is understood and agreed that, except for any indemnification provided in the Servicing Agreement and the payment of any Reimbursement Amount, the obligation of the Servicer or the Sponsor to cure or to repurchase (or in the case of the Sponsor, to substitute for) any Mortgage 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 against the Servicer or the Sponsor in respect of such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. With respect to the representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that are made to the best of the Sponsor's knowledge or as to which the Sponsor had no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that the substance of such representation or warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan then, notwithstanding the Sponsor's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Sponsor set forth in this Section 2.02 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders and to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Servicing Agreement, which have been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the date specified in the Servicing Agreement. To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the only right or remedy of the Trustee or of any Certificateholder shall be the Trustee's right to enforce the obligations of the Servicer under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. The Trustee acknowledges that the Sponsor shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans if the fact, condition or event constituting such breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Servicer in the Servicing Agreement, without regard to whether the Servicer fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such representation or warranty. The Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section 2.04) under any circumstances. With respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Sponsor shall deliver to the Trustee (or Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the -32- Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment of Mortgage (except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee), and such other documents and agreements as are otherwise required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to any such Substitute Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Estate and will be retained by the Depositor. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due for such month on any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Depositor has substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of each Mortgage Loan that has become a Defective Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, each Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Sponsor shall be deemed to have made to the Trustee with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to paragraph 4 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Master Servicer Custodial Account of any required Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described in the next paragraph) and receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release, the Trustee shall release, or shall direct the Custodian to release, the Mortgage File relating to such Defective Mortgage Loan to the Sponsor, and shall execute and deliver at the Sponsor's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Sponsor, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Sponsor, or its designee, to the Trustee's interest in any Defective Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.02. For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans substituted by the Sponsor, as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Defective Mortgage Loans substituted by the Sponsor (after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution) (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Defective Mortgage Loans shall be remitted by the Sponsor to the Master Servicer for deposit to the Master Servicer Custodial Account on or before the [18th] of the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan is required to be purchased or replaced hereunder. The Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain, as applicable, possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Master Servicer shall cause to be promptly delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as the case may be, upon the execution or, in the case of documents requiring recording, receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the Master Servicer's possession from time to time. -33- The Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix). In connection with making the certifications required hereunder, to the extent a title search or opinion of counsel had been provided in lieu of a title policy for any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, as applicable, shall only be responsible for confirming that a title search or opinion of counsel has been provided for such Mortgage Loan and shall not be deemed to have certified that the content of such title search or opinion of counsel is sufficient to meet the requirements of Section 2.01(b)(v). Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date: (i) The Master Servicer is a [insert form and state of organization] and has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good standing in each of the states where a Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is located if the laws of such state require licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of the type conducted by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer has power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform in accordance herewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) by the Master Servicer and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, evidences the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Master Servicer, subject to applicable law except as enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (B) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law. All requisite corporate action has been taken by the Master Servicer to make this Agreement valid and binding upon the Master Servicer in accordance with its terms. (ii) No consent, approval, authorization or order is required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any court, governmental agency or body, or federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer is required or, if required, such consent, approval, authorization or order has been or will, prior to the Closing Date, be obtained. (iii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer and will not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Master Servicer or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or -34- loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the Master Servicer or its property is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Master Servicer or its property is subject. (iv) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Master Servicer, threatened against the Master Servicer which, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Master Servicer, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Master Servicer to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the Master Servicer contemplated herein, or which would materially impair the ability of the Master Servicer to perform under the terms of this Agreement. The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.

Master Servicing of the Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this Agreement, subject to the prior sentence, and with Customary Servicing Procedures. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicer as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Servicer's servicing activities with respect to each Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicer's and the Master Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the Master Servicer's Certificate and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer to the Master Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreements. Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer to collect all payments due under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with the Servicing Agreement. The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent. -37- Section 3.02. Monitoring of Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor the compliance by the Servicer with its duties under the Servicing Agreement. In the review of the Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer's certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer's compliance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate. (b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer thereunder and act as successor Servicer of the Mortgage Loans under the Servicing Agreement or cause the Trustee to enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the Servicing Agreement and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer and Trustee, as applicable, shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party whom such enforcement is directed, provided that the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. (c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, related to any termination of the Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, with respect to the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an Event of Default by the Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely -38- reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Custodial Account. (d) To the extent that any Servicing Transfer Costs are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Custodial Account. (e) The Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the Servicing Agreement. (f) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces. (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer engages any affiliate or third party vendor in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor in writing of such engagement. To the extent the Depositor notifies the Master Servicer and the Trustee that it has determined that any such affiliate or third party vendor is a Servicing Function Participant, the Master Servicer shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to prepare a separate assessment and attestation report, as contemplated by Section 3.20 of this Agreement and deliver such report to the Securities Administrator as set forth in Section 3.22 of this Agreement. In addition, to the extent the Depositor notifies the Master Servicer and the Trustee that it has determined that any such Servicing Function Participant would be a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB (an "Additional Servicer"), the Master Servicer shall cause such Additional Servicer to prepare a separate compliance statement as contemplated by Section 3.19 of this Agreement and deliver such statement to the Securities Administrator as set forth in Section 3.22 of this Agreement. In addition, if the Depositor determines any such Servicing Function Participant would be a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB, the Master Servicer shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide the Depositor and the Securities Administration the information required by Section 1108(b) and 1108(c) of Regulation AB within two Business Days following such engagement. To the extent the Master Servicer terminates any such Servicing Function Participant that the Depositor has determined is a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB, the Master Servicer shall provide the Depositor and the Securities Administrator the information required to enable the Securities Administrator to accurately and timely report such event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K (if the Trust's Exchange Act reporting requirements have not been suspended pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as set forth in Section 3.22(g) Section 3.03. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Master Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons involved in the performance of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder. These policies must insure the -39- Master Servicer against losses resulting from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Master Servicer's personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for the Master Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns. No provision of this Section 3.03 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Servicing Guide or by Freddie Mac in the Freddie Mac Sellers' & Servicers' Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, or in an amount as may be permitted to the Master Servicer by express waiver of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer, meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement. Section 3.04. Access to Certain Documentation. The Master Servicer shall provide, and the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to provide in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, to the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation required by applicable regulations of the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer and the Servicer. In fulfilling such request for access, the Master Servicer shall not be responsible to determine the sufficiency of any information provided by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 3.04 shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Servicer to observe any applicable law and the failure of the Master Servicer or the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.04 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.04. Section 3.05. Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy; Claims. (a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit the Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. (b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the -40- Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections 3.08 and 3.09, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Master Servicer Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Section 3.06. Rights of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. None of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor shall not be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or otherwise. Section 3.07. Trustee to Act as Master Servicer. In the event the Master Servicer or any successor master servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee as trustee hereunder shall within 90 days of such time, assume, if it so elects, or shall appoint a successor Master Servicer to assume, all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, unless the Trustee elects to terminate the Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the terms thereof. Unless the Trustee so elects to terminate the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee, its designee or the successor master servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to the Servicing Agreement, to the same extent as if the rights and duties under the Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Servicing Agreement, with respect to the Master Servicer's duties to be performed prior to its termination hereunder. Any such assumption shall be subject to Sections 7.02 and 8.05. The predecessor Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the Mortgage Loans then being master serviced by such Master Servicer and an accounting of amounts collected and held by such Master Servicer, and shall transfer control of the Master Servicer Custodial Account, and any investment accounts to the successor Master Servicer, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the rights and duties relating to such Mortgage Loans to the assuming party. The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the predecessor Master Servicer (or the Trust if the predecessor Master Servicer is unable to fulfill such obligations) for all Master Servicing Transfer Costs. -41- Section 3.08. Servicer Custodial Account and Escrow Account. The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Servicer to establish and maintain a Servicer Custodial Account in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, with records to be kept with respect thereto on a loan by loan basis, into which accounts shall be deposited within 48 hours (or as of such other time specified in the Servicing Agreement) of receipt all collections of principal and interest on any Mortgage Loan and all collections with respect to any REO Property received by the Servicer, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Recoveries and Advances made from the Servicer's own funds (less servicing compensation as permitted by the Servicing Agreement) and all other amounts to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account.

The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct. -57- (g) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Securities Administrator shall promptly deliver or otherwise make available to the Depositor a copy of any such executed report, statement or information. (h) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (g) of this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Securities Administrator is obligated to file reports on Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K. Unless otherwise instructed by the Depositor, prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is permitted to do so under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and other applicable law and regulations, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, with a copy to the Depositor. At any time after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of Certificateholders of record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Administrator shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-D and 10-K as required pursuant to this Section and the parties hereto will again have the obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (g) of this Section.

Master Servicer's Certificate. Each month, not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the [18th] calendar day of such month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator, a Master Servicer's Certificate based solely on information provided by the Servicer (in substance and format mutually acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator) certified by a Master Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer setting forth the information necessary in order for the Securities Administrator to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Securities Administrator may conclusively rely upon the information contained in a Master Servicer's Certificate delivered by the Master Servicer for all purposes hereunder and shall have no duty to verify or re-compute any of the information contained therein. ARTICLE V PAYMENTS AND STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS; REMIC ADMINISTRATION Section 5.01. Distributions. On each Distribution Date, based solely on the information in the Master Servicer's Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or be deemed to distribute, as applicable, out of the Distribution Account (to the extent funds are available therein) to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution) (a) by check mailed to such Certificateholder entitled to receive a distribution on such Distribution Date at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or (b) upon written request by the Holder of a Certificate (other than the Residual Certificate), by wire transfer or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Securities Administrator shall agree upon, such Certificateholder's Percentage Interest in the amount to which the related Class of Certificates is entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth below in Section 5.02. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall in any way be responsible or liable to Holders of any Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on any such Class. Amounts distributed with respect to any Class of Certificates shall be applied first to the distribution of interest thereon and then to principal thereon. Section 5.02. Priorities of Distributions. (a) On each Distribution Date, based solely on the information contained in the Master Servicer's Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account (to the extent funds are available therein) (1) to the extent not previously -59- paid, the amounts payable to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee pursuant to Sections 3.11(a)(ii) and shall pay such funds to itself and the Trustee, as applicable, and (2) the Pool Distribution Amount (after the payment of the Servicing Fees and the LPMI Policy premium rate, if any, for such Mortgage Loans and expenses and indemnities reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement, in each case to the extent not previously retained by or distributed to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee), and shall apply such funds first to pay the Trustee the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date and second to distributions to the Certificates in the following order of priority: (i) to each Class of Senior Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class and any shortfall being allocated among such Classes in proportion to the amount of the Interest Distribution Amount that would have been distributed in the absence of such shortfall; (ii) concurrently to the Senior Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Senior Principal Distribution Amount and PO Principal Amount, (A) to the Senior Certificates in an aggregate amount up to the Senior Principal Distribution Amount, such distribution to be allocated among such Classes in accordance with Section 5.02(b) and (B) to the Class A-PO Certificates in an aggregate amount up to the PO Principal Amount; (iii) to the Class A-PO Certificates, any Class PO Deferred Amount (after giving effect to the distribution to the Class A-PO Certificates of the Class PO Recovery), up to the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date from amounts otherwise distributable, first, to the Class B Certificates, first to the Class B-6 Certificates, pursuant to clause (iv)(L) below, second to the Class B-5 Certificates, pursuant to clause (iv)(J) below, third to the Class B-4 Certificates, pursuant to clause (iv)(H) below, fourth to the Class B-3 Certificates, pursuant to clause (iv)(F) below, fifth to the Class B-2 Certificates, pursuant to clause (iv)(D) below and finally to the Class B-1 Certificates, pursuant to clause (iv)(B) below; (iv) to each Class of Subordinate Certificates, subject to paragraph (d) below, in the following order of priority: (A) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date; (B) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date less any amount used to pay the Class PO Deferred Amounts pursuant to clause (iii) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; (C) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date; -60- (D) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date less any amount used to pay the Class PO Deferred Amounts pursuant to clause (iii) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; (E) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date; (F) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date less any amount used to pay the Class PO Deferred Amounts pursuant to clause (iii) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; (G) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date; (H) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date less any amount used to pay the Class PO Deferred Amounts pursuant to clause (iii) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; (I) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date; (J) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date less any amount used to pay the Class PO Deferred Amounts pursuant to clause (iii) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; (K) to the Class B-6 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date; and (L) to the Class B-6 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date less any amount used to pay the Class PO Deferred Amounts pursuant to clause (iii) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and (v) to the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate, any remaining Pool Distribution Amount. No Class of Certificates will be entitled to any distributions with respect to the amount payable pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Interest Distribution Amount" after its Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. -61- On any Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of the Class PO Deferred Amounts (including the distribution of the Class PO Recoveries) will not reduce the Class Certificate Balance of the Class A-PO Certificates. All distributions in respect of the Interest Distribution Amount for a Class will be applied first with respect to the amount payable pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of "Interest Distribution Amount," and second with respect to the amount payable pursuant to clause (ii) of such definition. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute any Reimbursement Amount sequentially to the Classes of Certificates then outstanding which bore the loss to which such Reimbursement Amount relates beginning with the most senior of such Classes of Certificates, up to, with respect to each Class, the amount of loss borne by such Class. Any Reimbursement Amount remaining after the application described in the preceding sentence shall be included in the Pool Distribution Amount. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute any Class PO Recovery to the Holders of the Class A-PO Certificates. In the event that on any Distribution Date, the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amounts is insufficient to reduce the Class PO Deferred Amounts of the Class A-PO Certificates to zero, the amount that is available shall be distributed to such Class. (b) On each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, the amount distributable to the Senior Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii)(A) for such Distribution Date, will be distributed, sequentially, as follows: first, to the Class A-R Certificate, until its Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero; and second, to the Class A-1 Certificates, until their Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priority set forth above, the portion of the Pool Distribution Amount available to be distributed as principal of the Senior Certificates shall be distributed concurrently, as principal, on such Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances, until the Class Certificate Balances thereof are reduced to zero. The PO Deferred Amounts for the Class A-PO Certificates will be paid from amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinate Certificates before any payments are made pursuant to the preceding paragraph. (c) On each Distribution Date, Accrued Certificate Interest for each Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date (other than the Class A-PO Certificates) shall be reduced by such Class' pro rata share, based on such Class' Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, without taking into account the allocation made by this Section 5.02(c), of (A) Non-Supported Interest Shortfalls, (B) on and after the Senior Credit Support Depletion -62- Date, any other Realized Loss on the Mortgage Loans allocable to interest and (C) Relief Act Reductions incurred on the Mortgage Loans during the Prior Period. (d) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section 5.02(a)(iv), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates on any Distribution Date, (i) the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date of all Classes of Subordinate Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than such Class, divided by (ii) the Pool Stated Principal Balance (Non-PO Portion) immediately prior to such Distribution Date (for each Class, the "Fractional Interest") is less than the Original Fractional Interest for such Class, no distribution of principal will be made to any Classes of Subordinate Certificates junior to such Class (the "Restricted Classes") and the Class Certificate Balances of the Restricted Classes of Subordinate Certificates will not be used in determining the Pro Rata Share for the Subordinate Certificates that are not Restricted Classes. If the aggregate Class Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates that are not Restricted Classes are reduced to zero, notwithstanding the previous sentence, any funds remaining will be distributed sequentially to the Subordinate Certificates that are Restricted Classes in order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates that is a Restricted Class then outstanding with the lowest numerical Class designation). Section 5.03. Allocation of Losses. (a) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall inform the Securities Administrator in writing with respect to each Mortgage Loan: (1) whether any Realized Loss is a Deficient Valuation or a Debt Service Reduction, (2) of the amount of such loss or Deficient Valuation, or of the terms of such Debt Service Reduction and (3) of the total amount of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans. Based on such information, the Securities Administrator shall determine the total amount of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans with respect to the related Distribution Date. Realized Losses shall be allocated to the Certificates by a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of the designated Classes pursuant to the operation of Section 5.03(b). (b) The Class Certificates Balance of the Class A-PO Certificates shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the Class Certificate Balance of the Class A-PO Certificates (after giving effect to the amounts to be distributed as a distribution of principal on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Adjusted Pool Amount (PO Portion) for such Distribution Date. The Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced or increased on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, necessary such that the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (other than the Class A-PO Certificates) (after giving effect to the amount to be distributed as a distribution of principal and the allocation of the Class PO Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) equals the Adjusted Pool Amount (Non PO Portion) for such Distribution Date. After the applicable Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, the Class Certificate Balances of the Senior Certificates in the aggregate shall be reduced or increased on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, necessary such that the aggregate of the Class -63- Certificate Balances of all outstanding Classes of Senior Certificates (after giving effect to the amount to be distributed as a distribution of principal on such Distribution Date) equals the Adjusted Pool Amount (Non-PO Portion) for such Distribution Date. Any such reduction or increase shall be allocated among the Senior Certificates based on the Class Certificate Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balances thereof have been reduced to zero. (c) Any reduction or increase in the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03(b) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. (d) The calculation of the amount to be distributed as principal to any Class of Subordinate Certificates with respect to a Distribution Date (the "Calculated Principal Distribution") shall be made prior to the allocation of any Realized Losses for such Distribution Date; provided, however, the actual payment of principal to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates shall be made subsequent to the allocation of Realized Losses for such Distribution Date. In the event that after the allocation of Realized Losses for a Distribution Date, the Calculated Principal Distribution for a Class of Subordinate Certificates is greater than the Class Certificate Balance of such Class, the excess shall be distributed first, sequentially, to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding (beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the lowest numerical designation) until the respective Class Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero and then to the Senior Certificates, pro rata, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.02. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.03, no Class Certificate Balance of a Class will be increased on any Distribution Date such that the Class Certificate Balance of such Class exceeds its Initial Class Certificate Balance less all distributions of principal previously distributed in respect of such Class on prior Distribution Dates (excluding in the case of any Class of Subordinate Certificates any principal otherwise payable to such Class of Subordinate Certificates but used to pay any Class PO Deferred Amount). Section 5.04. Statements to Certificateholders. (a) Prior to the Distribution Date in each month, based upon the information provided to the Securities Administrator on the Master Servicer's Certificate delivered to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 4.01 and with respect to subsections (xxi) and (xxii) below, after consultation with the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall determine the following information with respect to such Distribution Date: (i) the date of such Distribution Date and the Determination Date for such Distribution Date;

The Securities Administrator will also make available copies of periodic reports the Securities Administrator files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including distribution reports on Form 10-D, annual reports on Form 10-K, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports, available through this website promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and indicating such. The Securities Administrator shall have the right to change the way the monthly statements to Certificateholders are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes. Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was the Holder of a Certificate, if requested in writing by such Person, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (iii), (iv) and (ix) of Section 5.04(a), in each case aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in force. The Securities Administrator shall deliver to the Holders of Certificates any reports or information the Securities Administrator is required by this Agreement or the Code, Treasury Regulations or REMIC Provisions to deliver to the Holders of Certificates, and the Securities Administrator shall prepare and provide to the Certificateholders (by mail, telephone, or publication as may be permitted by applicable Treasury Regulations) such other reasonable information as the Securities Administrator deems necessary or appropriate or is required by the Code, Treasury Regulations, and the REMIC Provisions including, but not limited to, (i) information to be reported to the Holder of the Residual Certificate for quarterly notices on Schedule Q (Form 1066) (which information shall be forwarded to the Holder of the Residual Certificate by the Securities Administrator), (ii) information to be provided to the Holders of Certificates with respect to amounts which should be included as interest and original issue discount in such Holders' gross income and (iii) information to be provided to all Holders of Certificates setting forth the percentage of the REMIC's assets, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations using a convention, not inconsistent with Treasury Regulations, selected by the Securities Administrator in its absolute discretion, that constitute real estate assets under Section 856 of the Code, and assets described in Section 7701(a)(19)(C) of the Code; provided, however, that in setting forth the percentage of such assets of the REMIC, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation Section 7.03 hereof, shall be interpreted to require the Securities Administrator periodically to appraise the fair market values of the assets of the Trust Estate or to indemnify the Trust Estate or any Certificateholders from any adverse -67- federal, state or local tax consequences associated with a change subsequently required to be made in the Depositor's initial good faith determinations of such fair market values (if subsequent determinations are required pursuant to the REMIC Provisions) made from time to time.

In particular: (a) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall create, or permit the creation of, any "interests" in the REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of Code Section 860D(a)(2) other than the interests represented by the Regular Certificates and the Residual Certificate. (b) Except as otherwise provided in the Code, (i) the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall not contribute to the Trust Estate and the Trustee shall not accept property unless substantially all of the property held in the REMIC constitutes either "qualified mortgages" or "permitted investments" as defined in Code Sections 860G(a)(3) and (5), respectively, and (ii) no property shall be contributed to the REMIC after the start-up day unless such contribution would not subject the Trust Estate to the 100% tax on contributions to a REMIC after the start-up day of the REMIC imposed by Code Section 860G(d). (c) The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall not accept on behalf of the REMIC any fee or other compensation for services and none of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall knowingly accept, on behalf of the Trust Estate any income from assets other than those permitted to be held by a REMIC.

(b) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class, tenor and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. (c) (i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(iii) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (A) registration of the Book Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (B) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (C) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (D) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (E) the Securities Administrator shall deal with the Depository as the representative of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of the Depository shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (F) the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. (ii) All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. (iii) If the Depository advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a -71- qualified successor, the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository (or by the Certificate Custodian, if it holds such Class on behalf of the Depository), accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. (d) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and such laws. In the event of any such transfer, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor may require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act and such laws or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act and such laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Depositor and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall require a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1 and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto either as Exhibit G-2A or as Exhibit G-2B, which certificates shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Depositor; provided that the foregoing requirements under clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to a transfer of a Private Certificate between or among the Depositor, the Sponsor, their affiliates or both. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferees designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such certificate without registration thereof under the 1933 Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities Administrator and the Depositor 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 transferee delivers to the Securities Administrator either (i) a representation letter in the form of Exhibit H from the transferee of such Certificate, which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, or (ii) in the case of any ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan or arrangement, including an individual retirement account, subject to -72- ERISA, the Code, or any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") which is similar to ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan"), or a trustee or custodian of any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate by or on behalf of such Plan will not constitute or result in a non exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer. Any transferee of an ERISA Restricted Certificate that does not comply with either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence will be deemed to have made one of the representations set forth in Exhibit H. For purposes of clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate of the beneficial interest in any such Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in form and substance to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator as described above shall be void and of no effect. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability for transfers of Book-Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among any Depository Participants or Certificate Owners, made in violation of applicable restrictions. The Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02 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 Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities -73- Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee. (ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest. (iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of an affidavit in the form of Exhibit I hereto from the proposed transferee. (iv) Notwithstanding the delivery of an affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (iii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no transfer of any Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate to such proposed transferee shall be effected. (v) No Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any Person that is not a U.S. Person, unless (A) such Person holds such Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and furnishes the transferor and the Securities Administrator with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor thereto) or (B) the transferee delivers to both the transferor and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally-recognized tax counsel to the effect that such transfer is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of the Residual Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes. (vi) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02 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 6.02, become a Holder of the Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 6.02, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of the Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02 or for making any distributions due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement so long as the transfer was registered in accordance with this Section 6.02. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of the Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual 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 Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee. -74- (vii) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02, then the Securities Administrator, based on information provided to the Securities Administrator by the Master Servicer, will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the Persons specified in Section 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations. The expenses of the Securities Administrator under this clause (vii) shall be reimbursable by the Trust. (viii) No Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate shall be acquired by a Plan or any Person acting on behalf of a Plan. (g) [Reserved] (h) No service charge shall be imposed for any 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. (i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the Certificate Registrar. Section 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to each, to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage Interest but bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, 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 (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. Section 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar 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 5.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities -75- Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. ARTICLE VII THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER Section 7.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Master Servicer. The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor and the Master Servicer herein. By way of illustration and not limitation, the Depositor is not liable for the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by Section 8.01 to assume any obligations of the Master Servicer or to appoint a designee to assume such obligations, nor is it liable for any other obligation hereunder that it may, but is not obligated to, assume unless it elects to assume such obligation in accordance herewith. Section 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer. The Depositor and the Master Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a separate entity under the laws governing its organization, and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement. Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that (a) the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and (b) the Master Servicer and such successor or surviving Person shall notify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee of any such merger, conversion or consolidation at least two Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such merger, conversion or consolidation. Section 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Others. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Estate or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such Person -76- against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Estate and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither of the Depositor nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor or the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Estate, and the Depositor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Distribution Account as provided by Section 3.11 and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts on deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account. Section 7.04. Depositor and Master Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer shall resign from its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or, in the case of the Master Servicer, pursuant to Section 7.05. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Securities Administrator. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Securities Administrator or a successor Master Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof. Section 7.05. Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment or delegation is qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, is satisfactory to the Trustee, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, and executes and delivers to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such purchaser or transferee of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer hereunder from and after the date of such agreement; and (ii) each applicable Rating Agency's rating of any Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale or transfer is not reasonably likely to be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such -77- assignment, sale or transfer and the Certificates are not reasonably likely to be placed on credit review status by any such Rating Agency. In no case, however, shall any permitted assignment and delegation relieve the Mater Servicer of any liability to the Trustee or the Depositor under this Agreement, incurred by it prior to the time that the conditions contained in clauses (i) and (ii) above are met. ARTICLE VIII DEFAULT Section 8.01. Events of Default. If any one of the following events ("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing: (a) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit amounts to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account in the amount and manner provided herein so as to enable the Securities Administrator to distribute to Holders of Certificates any payment required to be made under the terms of such Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied by 3:00 P.M. New York time on the related Distribution Date; or (b) failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Master Servicer set forth in the Certificates or in this Agreement, which covenants and agreements continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of all Certificates affected thereby; or (c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings against the Master Servicer, or for the winding up or liquidation of the Master Servicer's affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; (d) the consent by the Master Servicer to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or (e) the failure of the Master Servicer to remit any Periodic Advance required to be remitted by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.21, which failure continues unremedied at 3:00 P.M. on the related Distribution Date; -78- then, and in each and every such case (other than the Event of Default described in clause (e) hereof), so long as an Event of Default is actually known by the Trustee or the Depositor and shall not have been remedied by the Master Servicer, either the Trustee or the Depositor may, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 51% of all Certificates affected thereby shall, by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and proceeds thereof (other than the Master Servicer's right to recovery of expenses and amounts advanced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which rights the Master Servicer will retain under all circumstances) and the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.05 shall make the Advance the which the Master Servicer failed to make. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice and subject to Section 8.05, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 8.01 and Section 8.05(a), unless and until such time as the Trustee shall appoint a successor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the applicable Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the recordation of the assignments of the applicable Mortgage Loans to it. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Master Servicer Custodial Account or thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Upon obtaining notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Person obtaining such notice or knowledge shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the termination of the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, the Master Servicer shall remain liable for any causes of action arising out of any Event of Default occurring prior to such termination, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Section 8.02. Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 8.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be -79- cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. Section 8.03. Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% (or such other percentage as may be required herein) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, and (b) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor Master Servicer from its rights and duties as servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would subject the Trustee to a risk of personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders. Section 8.04. Action upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and upon Event of Default. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any failure of the Master Servicer specified in Section 8.01(a) or (b) which would become an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer. If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have knowledge of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders in accordance with Section 8.01. -80- Section 8.05. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) Within 90 days of the time the Master Servicer (and the Trustee if such notice of termination is delivered by the Depositor) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01, the Trustee (or other named successor) shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, as applicable, or shall appoint a successor pursuant to Section 3.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Master Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Master Servicer to make advances (including, without limitation, Advances pursuant to Section 3.21) under this Agreement, (ii) the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Master Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts and (iii) under no circumstances shall any provision of this Agreement be construed to require the Trustee, acting in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer in its obligation to make advances (including Advances pursuant to Section 3.21) to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that such funds are non-recoverable. Subject to Section 8.05(b), as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the terminated Master Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given, except for those amounts due to the Master Servicer as reimbursement for advances previously made or amounts previously expended and are otherwise reimbursable hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to such terminated Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that any such institution appointed as a successor Master Servicer shall not, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency, adversely affect the then current rating of any Class of Certificates immediately prior to the termination of the terminated Master Servicer. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer, nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. Pending appointment of a successor to a terminated Master Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as provided above. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. All Master Servicing Transfer Costs incurred in connection with transferring Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Master Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust). -81- (b) In connection with the appointment of a successor Master Servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, as specified in Section 8.05(a), the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that such compensation shall not exceed the compensation of the Master Servicer being replaced. (c) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall during the term of its service as master servicer maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as master servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as such Master Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.03. (d) The predecessor Master Servicer and successor Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Securities Administrator of any such appointment at least two Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the Securities Administrator with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such appointment. Section 8.06. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. ARTICLE IX THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR Section 9.01. Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator. (a) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, 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. In case an Event of Default has occurred of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a reasonably prudent investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs. In case an Event of Default has occurred of which a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator shall have actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), the Securities Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a reasonably prudent investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to -82- the Trustee and the Securities Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer or the Depositor hereunder. (b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Securities Administrator from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that: (i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator by the Depositor or the Master Servicer and which on their face, do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement; (ii) The Trustee (in its individual capacity) shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iii) The Trustee (in its individual capacity) and the Securities Administrator (in its individual capacity) shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Certificateholders as provided in Section 8.03; (iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 8.01 or an Event of Default under clauses (c) and (d) of Section 8.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or event or any Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor or any Certificateholder. The Securities Administrator shall not be charged with knowledge of any default specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 8.01 or an Event of Default under clauses (c) and (d) of Section 8.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator obtains actual knowledge of such failure or event or any Responsible Officer of the Securities -83- Administrator receives written notice of such failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor or any Certificateholder; and (v) Except to the extent provided in Section 8.05 in respect of the Trustee, no provision in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of funds or adequate indemnity or security satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. Section 9.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01: (i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the manner of obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to the reasonable regulations as the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, as applicable, may prescribe; (ii) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel; (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Securities Administrator of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent -84- investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs; (iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; (v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests, aggregating not less than 50%; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, may require reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to it against such expense or liability or payment of such estimated expenses as a condition to so proceeding; (vi) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may each execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, custodian or independent contractor; and (vii) the right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act. Section 9.03. Neither Trustee nor Securities Administrator Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the execution of, and the authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or Master Servicer, as applicable, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or any Mortgage Loans save that the Trustee and the Securities Administrator represent that, assuming due execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable insolvency, receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and to general principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless of whether enforcement of such remedies is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Neither the Trustee nor the Securities -85- Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of funds paid to the Depositor in consideration of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans hereunder by the Depositor. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as the successor to the Master Servicer); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer); the compliance by the Depositor or the Master Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Master Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer), or any Mortgagor; any action of the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer) taken in the name of the Securities Administrator; the failure of the Master Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trust or the Securities Administrator hereunder; or any action by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator taken at the instruction of the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee's review of the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02. The Trustee shall execute and file any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time required to maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder. Section 9.04. Trustee and Securities Administrator May Own Certificates. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in their individual or any other capacities may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or the Securities Administrator and may otherwise deal with the Master Servicer or any of its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or the Securities Administrator. -86- Section 9.05. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and the Securities Administrator. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator hereunder shall at all times be (a) an institution the deposits of which are fully insured by the FDIC and (b) a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000.00 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and (c) with respect to every successor trustee or securities administrator hereunder either an institution (i) the long-term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least "___" by _______ and "___" by _______ or (ii) whose serving as Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder would not result in the lowering of the current ratings assigned to any Class of Certificates. The Trustee shall not be an affiliate of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Servicer. If such corporation or banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.05, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (other than the initial Trustee or Securities Administrator) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee or Securities Administrator is appointed Trustee or Securities Administrator to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provision of this Section 9.05, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.06. The Securities Administrator (i) may not be an originator, the Master Servicer, Servicer, the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor unless the Securities Administrator is in an institutional trust department, (ii) must be authorized to exercise corporate trust powers under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and (iii) must be rated at least "___" by _______ and "___" by _______, if _______ and _______, as applicable, is a Rating Agency, or the equivalent rating by _______ (or such other rating acceptable to _______ and _______ pursuant to a ratings confirmation). If no successor Securities Administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 60 days after the Securities Administrator ceases to be the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 9.05, then the Trustee shall perform the duties of the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an institution qualified under Section 9.05 hereof as the successor to the Securities Administrator hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a Securities Administrator hereunder; provided, however, that any such institution appointed as successor Securities Administrator shall not, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency, adversely affect the then current rating of any Class of Certificates immediately prior to the termination of the Securities Administrator. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of any change of the Securities Administrator. Section 9.06. Resignation and Removal of Trustee and the Securities Administrator. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator may at any time resign and be -87- discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Master Servicer and the Depositor and mailing a copy of such notice to all Holders of record. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall also mail a copy of such notice of resignation to each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall use its best efforts to promptly appoint a mutually acceptable successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable. If no successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator. If at any time the Trustee or Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of their respective property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of their respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, so removed and one copy to the successor. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable; the Master Servicer shall thereupon use their best efforts to appoint a mutually acceptable successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 9.06. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.06 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, as provided in Section 9.07. Section 9.07. Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator. Any successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator appointed as provided in Section 9.06 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall become effective and such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, herein. The predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the successor -88- Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, the whole of the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, together with all instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed as may be reasonably required to effect such transfer and such of the records or copies thereof maintained by the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator in the administration hereof as may be reasonably requested by the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, and shall thereupon be discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 3.20 hereunder). All costs associated with the appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be paid to the Person that incurred them by the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator. Without limiting the predecessor Trustee's or Securities Administrator's obligation, if the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator fails to pay such costs, such costs shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided, however, that if the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator has been removed pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 9.06, all reasonable expenses of the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator incurred in complying with this Section 9.07 shall be reimbursed by the Trust. No successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.07 unless at the time of such appointment such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.05. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, as provided in this Section 9.07, the Master Servicer shall cooperate to mail notice of the succession of such Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. If the Master Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Master Servicer. The predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator and the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the Depositor of any such appointment at least two Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such appointment. Section 9.08. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities Administrator. Any corporation or banking association into which either the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, hereunder, if such corporation or banking association is eligible under the provisions of Section 9.05, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, and such -89- surviving Person shall notify the Depositor of any such merger, conversion or consolidation and shall provide the Depositor with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such merger, conversion or consolidation. Section 9.09. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located or for any other reason, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee as co-trustee or separate trustee of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provision of this Section 9.09, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within ten days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 9.05 and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.07. The Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder. In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 9.09, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee. No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; provided, however, that no appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall relieve the Trustee of its obligations hereunder. Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. -90- Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of such trustee or co-trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. Section 9.10. Authenticating Agents. The Securities Administrator may appoint one or more authenticating agents ("Authenticating Agents") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Securities Administrator in authenticating Certificates. Initially, the Authenticating Agent shall be ______________________. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Securities Administrator or the Securities Administrator's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Master Servicer and must be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a place of business in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Securities Administrator and to the Master Servicer. The Securities Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case, at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.10, the Securities Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. -91- Section 9.11. Securities Administrator's Fees and Expenses and Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Trustee shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee as compensation for its services hereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to investment income from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. [The Securities Administrator, as compensation for its services hereunder, shall be entitled to a fee in an amount agreed upon between the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, payable by the Trustee out of its own funds and not out of any funds of the Trust Estate]. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any claims, damage, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (a) incurred in connection with or arising from or relating to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Certificates, or (iii) the performance of any of the Trustee's or Securities Administrator's, as the case may be, duties hereunder, other than any claims, damage, loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's or Securities Administrator's, as the case may be, duties hereunder, (b) resulting from any tax or information return which was prepared by, or should have been prepared by, the Master Servicer and (c) arising out of the transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate not in compliance with ERISA. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee and the Securities Administrator for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii); provided, however, that the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee intend to enter into a separate agreement for custody-related services. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee or Securities Administrator, Certificate Registrar or Paying Agent hereunder or for any other expenses. The provisions of this Section 9.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, hereunder. Section 9.12. Appointment of Custodian. The Trustee may at any time on or after the Closing Date, with the consent of the Depositor and the Master Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custodial agreement in a form acceptable to the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Subject to this Article IX, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each custodial agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Trustee appoints one or more Custodians with respect to more than 5% of the aggregate Pool Stated Principal Balance, the -92- Trustee shall cause such Custodian to prepare a separate assessment and attestation report, as contemplated by Section 3.20 of this Agreement and deliver such report to the Securities Administrator as set forth in Section 3.22 of this Agreement. Section 9.13. Paying Agents. The Securities Administrator may appoint one or more Paying Agents (each, a "Paying Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Securities Administrator in making withdrawals from the Distribution Account and distributions to Certificateholders as provided in Section 3.11 and Section 5.02. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the withdrawal from the Distribution Account by the Securities Administrator, such reference shall be deemed to include such a withdrawal on behalf of the Securities Administrator by a Paying Agent. Initially, the Paying Agent shall be _______________________. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to a distribution by the Securities Administrator or the furnishing of a statement to Certificateholders by the Securities Administrator, such reference shall be deemed to include such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the Securities Administrator by a Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall provide to the Securities Administrator such information concerning the Distribution Account as the Securities Administrator shall request from time to time. Each Paying Agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and must be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having (except in the case of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) a principal office and place of business in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. Any fees and expenses (but not including any indemnity payments) of a Paying Agent appointed pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable by the Securities Administrator out of its own funds and not out of any funds in the Trust Estate. Any corporation into which any Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Paying Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Paying Agent, shall continue to be the Paying Agent provided that such corporation after the consummation of such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession meets the eligibility requirements of this Section 9.13. Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and to the Master Servicer; provided that the Paying Agent has returned to the Distribution Account or otherwise accounted, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Securities Administrator, for all amounts it has withdrawn from the Distribution Account. The Securities Administrator may, upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, at any time terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Paying Agent and to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 9.13, the Securities Administrator may appoint, upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, a successor Paying Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Paying Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, -93- powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. The Securities Administrator shall remain liable for any duties and obligations assumed by its appointed Paying Agent. Section 9.14. Limitation of Liability.

Termination upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 10.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the Final Distribution Date and to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth and the obligations of the Securities Administrator pursuant to Sections 5.04(b) and 5.05(b)) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Securities Administrator on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article X following the earlier of (a) the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and all REO Property remaining in the Trust Estate by the Call Right Holder at a price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than any Mortgage Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired and whose fair market value is included pursuant to clause (ii) below), (ii) the fair market value of such REO Property, plus any Class Unpaid Interest Shortfall for any Class of Certificates as well as any accrued and unpaid interest through the last day of the month of such purchase at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired) and (iii) any Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.02 or (b) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Estate or the disposition of all REO Property. The Call Right Holder may not exercise its purchase option for the Mortgage Loans until all Reimbursement Amounts for the Mortgage Loans have been paid. The Securities Administrator shall notify the Sponsor, upon notice of the Call Right Holder's intent to exercise its purchase option on the Mortgage Loans, of any Reimbursement Amount outstanding. Regardless of the foregoing, in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. The right of the Call Right Holder to purchase the Mortgage Loans is conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans being less than [10]% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the right of the Call Right Holder to purchase the Mortgage Loans is conditioned on the sum of clause (a)(i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 10.01 being less than or equal to the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans being purchased (other than any Mortgage Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired) and the REO Properties; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to any purchase by the Call Right Holder if, at the time of purchase, the Call Right Holder is not subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve or the OTS. Fair market value for the purposes of the previous sentence and the first paragraph of this Section 10.01 will be determined by the Call Right Holder as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which such notice of the exercise of any purchase right is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the sixth paragraph of this Section 10.01. If such right is exercised by the Call Right Holder, the Securities Administrator -95- shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Call Right Holder, or its respective designees, the Mortgage Files pertaining to such Mortgage Loans being purchased. Notice of the exercise of any purchase option by the Call Right Holder and notice of any termination of the Trust or any portion of the Trust, specifying the Final Distribution Date or the applicable Distribution Date, upon which the applicable Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Securities Administrator for payment of the final distribution and for cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to the applicable Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Final Distribution Date or the applicable Distribution Date, upon which final payment of the applicable Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final payment and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the applicable Certificates at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein specified. The Call Right Holder exercising its call right shall remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit to the Distribution Account on or before the Final Distribution Date or the applicable Distribution Date, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the amount necessary to make the amount, if any, on deposit in the Distribution Account on such Final Distribution Date or Distribution Date, as applicable, equal to the purchase price for the related assets of the Trust Estate or any portion of the Trust Estate computed as above provided together with a statement as to the amount to be distributed on each applicable Class of Certificates pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph. Not less than five Business Days prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of the amount of any unpaid Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust and the Depositor shall deposit such amount in the Distribution Account not later than the Business Day preceding the Final Distribution Date. Upon presentation and surrender of the applicable Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the applicable Certificateholders of each Class, in the order set forth in Section 5.02 hereof, on the Final Distribution Date or the applicable Distribution Date, and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (I) as to each such Class of Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof plus (a) accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing Certificate and (b) the applicable Class PO Deferred Amount with respect to the Class A-PO Certificates and (II) as to the Class A-R Certificate, the amounts, if any, which remain on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (I) above. If the applicable Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall on such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to such Certificateholders to continue to be held by the Securities Administrator in an Eligible Account for the benefit of such Certificateholders and the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining applicable Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive a final distribution with respect thereto. If within -96- one year after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining applicable Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such Eligible Account. Section 10.02. Additional Termination Requirements. (a) Upon the exercise of a purchase option by the Call Right Holder as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator and the Trustee have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause the REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any related Certificates are outstanding: (i) within 90 days prior to the Final Distribution Date set forth in the notice given by the Securities Administrator under Section 10.01, the Securities Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Estate to the Call Right Holder for cash; and (ii) the notice given by the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 10.01 shall provide that such notice constitutes the adopting of a plan of complete liquidation of the REMIC as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which such notice was mailed to Certificateholders). The Securities Administrator shall also ensure that such date is specified in the final tax return of the REMIC. (b) (b) By their acceptance of the Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof hereby agrees to take such other action in connection with such plan of complete liquidation as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class of Certificates which is affected by such amendment, evidencing, as to each such Class of Certificates, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3%, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of such Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Mortgage Loans or distributions which are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then Outstanding. Prior to the solicitation of consent of Certificateholders in connection with any such amendment, the party seeking such amendment shall furnish the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment would not subject the REMIC to any tax or cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall first have received such Opinion of Counsel. Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent the Securities Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and to each Rating Agency. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Securities Administrator may prescribe. -98- Section 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

Section 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

Section 11.09. Recharacterization. The parties to this Agreement intend the conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement to constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such conveyance is held not to constitute a sale under applicable law, it is intended that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans. Section 11.10. Insolvency. The Depositor, Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and Trustee shall each notify the Depositor and the Securities Administrator of any of the events enumerated in Item 1.03 of Form 8-K with respect to any of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Securities Administrator or Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the -101- effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the Securities Administrator with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 1.03 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such event.

For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the cost of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, as the case may be, reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were valued at market. ____ The Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $__________ in securities (other than 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). ____ The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate $__________________ in securities (other than 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). 3. The term "Family of Investment Companies" as used herein means two or more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other). G-2A-7 4. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vi) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, or owned by the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the securities referred to in this paragraph were excluded. 5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A. ____ ____ Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred Yes No Certificates only for the Transferee's own account? 6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no," then in each case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer" status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A. 7. The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice, the Transferee's purchase of the Transferred Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such purchase. _______________________________________ Print Name of Transferee or Adviser By: ___________________________________ Name: _________________________________ Title: ________________________________ IF AN ADVISER: _______________________________________ Print Name of Transferee By: ___________________________________ Date: _________________________________ G-2A-8 EXHIBIT G-2B FORM 2 OF TRANSFEREE'S CERTIFICATE FOR TRANSFERS OF PRIVATE CERTIFICATES [Date] [__________] [__________] [__________] Attention: Corporate Trust Services - BAFC 20___-___ Re: Banc of America Funding Corporation, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 20___-___, Class ___, having an initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance as of __________ ___, 20___ of $____________ Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [_______________________] (the "Transferor") to [______________________________] (the "Transferee") of the captioned Certificates (the "Transferred Certificates"), pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated January 31, 2006 , among Banc of America Funding Corporation, as Depositor, [__________], as Securities Administrator and Master Servicer, and [__________], as Trustee.
