In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS(R) System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, at the Depositor's own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code "[IDENTIFY TRUSTEE SPECIFIC CODE]" in the field "[IDENTIFY THE FIELD NAME FOR TRUSTEE]" which identifies the Trustee and (b) the code "[IDENTIFY SERIES SPECIFIC CODE NUMBER]" in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans.

It is, further, not the intention of the parties to this Agreement that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or any Custodian of such items of property and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "in possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the 48 benefit of the Certificateholders for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law (except that nothing in this clause (e) shall cause any person to be deemed to be an agent of the Trustee for any purpose other than for perfection of such security interests unless, and then only to the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the Trustee in writing). The Depositor and the Trustee, upon directions from the Depositor, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

The Trustee acknowledges receipt by each Custodian of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G and declares that each Custodian on its behalf hold and will hold the documents delivered to such Custodian constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it or the related Custodian holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession through the related Custodian of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Texas or the State of Illinois, as directed by the Seller, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies. Each Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Seller, FSA, the Trustee and the Servicers an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, each Custodian will acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodians shall be under any 51 duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, each Custodian is required to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, FSA, the Trustee and the Servicers a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. If, in the course of such review, a Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, such Custodian will list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the related Custodian shall make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 120 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 120 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or repurchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, then such substitution or repurchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date; and further provided, that the Seller shall have no liability for recording any Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or for the Trustee's failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or cure any Mortgage Loan solely as a result of the Trustee's failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 360 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) the Assignment of Mortgage which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the Assignment of Mortgage for the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee or the dispute as to location or status has been resolved. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Repurchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver 52 at such entity's request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such entity, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such entity, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Seller is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS(R) System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations. Pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, the related Custodian is required to execute and deliver on the Subsequent Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Seller, FSA, the Trustee and the related Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the related Custodian shall acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the related Custodian shall be under a duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, not later than 90 days after the end of the Pre-Funding Period, the related Custodian is required to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, FSA, the Trustee and the related Servicer a Final Certification with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the related Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement, the related Custodian will be required to list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that neither the Trustee nor the related Custodian shall make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall cure any such defect or repurchase or substitute for any such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.02(a). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against the Seller. The Trustee shall pay to each Custodian from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder or under the related Custodial Agreement, and the Trustee shall pay or reimburse each Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by such Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this 53 Agreement or the related Custodial Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. SECTION 2.03 Representations and Warranties of the Seller and Servicers. (a) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties applicable to it set forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be specified. (b) Wilshire, in its capacity as Servicer, hereby makes the representations and warranties applicable to it set forth in Schedule IIIA hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be specified. (c) Ocwen, in its capacity as Servicer, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IIIB hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the applicable Cut- off Date. (d) Washington Mutual, in its capacity as Servicer, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IIIC hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the applicable Cut-off Date. (e) Each of Wilshire, Washington Mutual and Ocwen, in their capacity as Servicer, will use its reasonable efforts to become a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS. (f) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IV as applicable hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut- off Date or such other date as may be specified. (g) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(f) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. The Seller hereby covenants that within 120 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(f) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan sold by the Seller to the Depositor, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 120-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the 54 affected Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Repurchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M and the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to any representation and warranties described in this Section which are made to the best of a Seller's knowledge if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty. With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01(b), with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Seller shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(f) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03. For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") 55 plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Seller on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be repurchased or replaced hereunder. In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Repurchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf. The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. SECTION 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to the Mortgage Loans that, as of the Closing Date, assuming good title has been conveyed to the Depositor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Notes, and did not encumber the Mortgage Loans during its period of ownership thereof, other than as contemplated by the Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee. SECTION 2.05 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be made more than 120 days after the Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. 56 SECTION 2.06 Execution and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee (or the related Custodian) acknowledges receipt of the items described in Section 2.02 of this Agreement and the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G and, concurrently with such receipt, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected. SECTION 2.07 REMIC Matters. The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be designated as the "regular interests." The REMIC 2 Regular Interests shall be designated as the "regular interests." The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class M, Class B, Class P and Class X-1 Certificates shall be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC 3. The Class A-R Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of three residual interests, each of which will constitute the sole class of residual interests in each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 other than the Certificates or the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests. The "tax matters person" with respect to each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the related Tax Matters Person Certificate in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. The fiscal year for each REMIC shall be the calendar year. SECTION 2.08 Covenants of each Servicer. Each respective Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee that no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or written report prepared by such Servicer and delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact. SECTION 2.09 Conveyance of REMIC Regular Interests and Acceptance of REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 by the Trustee; Issuance of Certificates. (a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests for the benefit of the Holder of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Holders of the Class R-2 Interest. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests (each of which is uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the Holders 57 of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and Holder of the Class R-2 Interest. The interests evidenced by the Class R-2 Interest, together with the REMIC 2 Regular Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 2. (b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the REMIC 2 Regular Interests for the benefit of the holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R-3 Interest. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests (each of which is uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R-3 Interest. The interests evidenced by the Class R-3 Interest, together with the Regular Certificates, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 3. (c) In exchange for the REMIC 2 Regular Interests and, concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee thereof, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, the Trustee has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Regular Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing (together with the Class R-3 Interest) the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 3. (d) Concurrently with (i) the assignment and delivery to the Trustee of REMIC 1 (including the Residual Interest therein represented by the Class R-1 Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and Section 2.09(a); (ii) the assignment and delivery to the Trustee of REMIC 2 (including the Residual Interest therein represented by the Class R-2 Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to Section 2.09(b) and (iii) the assignment and delivery to the Trustee of REMIC 3 (including the Residual Interest therein represented by the Class R-3 Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to Section 2.09(c) the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Class A-R Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest and the Class R-3 Interest. 58 ARTICLE III ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS SECTION 3.01 Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, each Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The obligations of each of Wilshire, Washington Mutual and Ocwen hereunder to service and administer the Mortgage Loans shall be limited to the Wilshire Serviced Loans, the Washington Mutual Serviced Loans and the Ocwen Serviced Loans, respectively; and with respect to the duties and obligations of each Servicer, references herein to "Mortgage Loans" or "related Mortgage Loans" shall be limited to the Wilshire Serviced Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and related REO Properties) in the case of Wilshire, the Washington Mutual Serviced Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and related REO Properties) in the case of Washington Mutual and the Ocwen Serviced Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and related REO Properties), in the case of Ocwen, and in no event shall any Servicer have any responsibility or liability with respect to any of the other Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any Servicing Agreement or any Credit Risk Management Agreement to the contrary, neither Ocwen nor Wilshire shall have any duty or obligation to enforce any Credit Risk Management Agreement or to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Credit Risk Manager under its Credit Risk Management Agreement with respect to any action taken or not taken by Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit Risk Manager. In connection with such servicing and administration, each Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that a Servicer shall not take any action that is materially inconsistent with or materially prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under this Agreement unless such action is specifically called for by the terms hereof. The Trustee will provide a limited power of attorney to each Servicer, prepared by each Servicer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, to permit each Servicer to act on behalf of the Trustee under this Agreement. Each Servicer hereby indemnifies the Trustee for all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such power of attorney. Each Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan. Each Servicer further is hereby authorized and empowered in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when such Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage 59 Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS(R) System, shall be reimbursable by the Trust Fund to such Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.05(a), the Servicers shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder (other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment in Full pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof) which would cause any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when such Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that such Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents and a written request signed by an authorized officer, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to such Servicer. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, each Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on any Mortgaged Property (to the extent the Servicer has been notified that such taxes or assessments have not paid by the related Mortgagor or the owner or the servicer of the related First Mortgage Loan), which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08; provided, however, that each Servicer shall be required to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of such Servicer, will be recoverable by such Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, or otherwise out of the proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan; and provided, further, that such payments shall be advanced when the tax, premium or other cost for which payment is intended is due to the extent the Servicer has been notified that such payment has not been made at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date. The costs incurred by a Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of a Servicer, and furnish to such Servicer and any Subservicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or any Subservicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties 60 hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to each Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicers or any Subservicers under such powers of attorney. If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-off Date, then the related Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of the prior senior lien, provided that the following requirements are met: (i) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing; and (ii) the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable rate existing senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate or the maximum interest rate, as the case may be, on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and (iii) the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to negative amortization. SECTION 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Subservicers. (a) The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the related Servicer in accordance with the servicing provisions of this Agreement, provided that the Subservicer is an approved Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac seller/servicer in good standing. A Servicer may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by such Servicer of the Subservicer shall not release such Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and such Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of such Servicer. Each Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of any Subservicer engaged by such Servicer from its own funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Servicer shall be entitled to outsource one or more separate servicing functions to a Person (each, an "Outsourcer") that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer, so long as such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of such Servicer's obligation to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to such Outsourcer. In such event, the use by a Servicer of any such Outsourcer shall not release such Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and such Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of such Outsourcer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of such Servicer, and such Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Outsourcer from such Servicer's own funds. (b) At the cost and expense of a Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, the Trust Fund, or the applicable Collection Account, such Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer and arrange for any 61 servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements set forth in Section 3.02(a), provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit such Servicer, at such Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that a Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, and if requested to do so by the Trustee, such Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. Each Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer from such Servicer's own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, the Trust Fund, or the Collection Account. (c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between a Servicer and its Subservicer, a Servicer and its Outsourcer, or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer, the Outsourcer, or otherwise, no Servicer shall be relieved of its obligations to the Depositor, Trustee or Certificateholders and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the related Mortgage Loans. Each Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Subservicer and Outsourcer for indemnification of such Servicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, by such Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. For purposes of this Agreement, a Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans that are received by a related Subservicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, to such Servicer. Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer or an Outsourcer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or an Outsourcer, and the related Servicer alone, and the Depositor, the Trustee and the other Servicer shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to a Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of the Depositor and Trustee or the Trust Fund to pay a Subservicer's fees and expenses. SECTION 3.03 [Reserved]. SECTION 3.04 Trustee to Act as Servicer. (a) In the event that any Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the related predecessor Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of such Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02 hereof. Each Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of such Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement 62 or substitute Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and hereunder by such Servicer and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party. (b) [reserved] SECTION 3.05 Collection of Mortgage Loans; Collection Accounts; Certificate Account; Pre-Funding Accounts; Capitalized Interest Accounts. (a) Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans have been paid in full or such Mortgage Loans have become Liquidated Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall proceed in accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers to collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable to the extent consistent with this Agreement and, consistent with such standard, with respect to Mortgage Loans for which a Servicer collects escrow payments, shall ascertain and estimate Escrow Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, each Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in such Servicer's determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action); provided, however, that such Servicer may not modify materially or permit any Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan, including without limitation any modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or except in connection with prepayments to the extent that such reamortization is not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loan), or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of such Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable; and that no such modification shall reduce the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the rate at which the Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan accrues. In the event of any such arrangement, the related Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Each Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. (b) Each Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand 63 accounts, titled "[Servicer's name], in trust for the Holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Home Equity Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2002-3" or, if established and maintained by a Subservicer on behalf of the related Servicer, "[Subservicer's name], in trust for [Servicer's name]" or "[Subservicer's name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and interest custodial account for [Servicer's name], its successors and assigns, for various owners of interest in [Servicer's name] mortgage-backed pools". Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any funds deposited in a Collection Account shall at all times be either invested in Eligible Investments or shall be fully insured to the full extent permitted under applicable law. Funds deposited in a Collection Account may be drawn on by the applicable Servicer in accordance with Section 3.08. Each Servicer (other than Washington Mutual) shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis, or, in the case of Washington Mutual, within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following collections remitted by Subservicers or payments received by such Servicer and payments made by such Servicer subsequent to the Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date: (i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments; (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate reduced by the related Servicing Fee Rate; (iii) all Liquidation Proceeds on the Mortgage Loans; (iv) all Insurance Proceeds on the Mortgage Loans including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.09 (other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 3.09); (v) all Advances made by such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01; (vi) with respect to each Principal Prepayment on the Mortgage Loans, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for the Prepayment Period. The aggregate of such deposits shall be made from such Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor, up to a maximum amount per month equal to the Compensating Interest Payment, if any, for the Mortgage Loans and that Distribution Date; (vii) any amounts required to be deposited by such Servicer in respect of net monthly income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11; and (viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder including all collected Prepayment Penalties. The foregoing requirements for deposit into each Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 64 Ancillary Income need not be deposited by such Servicer into such Collection Account. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.05, each Servicer may deduct from amounts received by it, prior to deposit to the applicable Collection Account, any portion of any Scheduled Payment representing the applicable Servicing Fee. In the event that a Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the related Collection Account to withdraw such amount from such Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining such Collection Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in such Collection Account. Each Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made by it pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in a Collection Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. (c) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Certificate Account and retain therein the following: (i) the aggregate amount remitted by each Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(viii); (ii) any amount deposited by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Eligible Investments; and (iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account. In the event that a Servicer shall remit to the Trustee any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate Account. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08(b). In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Certificate Account at the direction of a Servicer. (d) Each institution at which a Collection Account, the Certificate Account or the Pre-Funding Account is maintained shall either hold such funds on deposit uninvested or shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the related Servicer (in the case of a Collection Account), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Account) or the Depositor (in the case of the Pre-Funding Account), in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of a Collection Account, the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of the Certificate Account and the Pre-Funding Account, the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such balances or investment of funds on deposit in a Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the related Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized 65 losses in a Collection Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the related Servicer in the related Collection Account. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in a Collection Account or the Pre-Funding Account. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee as compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Trustee in the Certificate Account. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such balances or investment of funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be for the benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted to it monthly. (e) Each Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the related Collection Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to each Servicer, the Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. (f) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Pre-Funding Account. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall remit the Pre-Funding Amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Pre-Funding Account. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, upon satisfaction of the conditions for such Subsequent Transfer Date set forth in Section 2.01(f), with respect to the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall remit to the Depositor the applicable Aggregate Subsequent Transfer Amount as payment of the purchase price for the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans. If any funds remain in any Pre-Funding Account on December 24, 2002, to the extent they represent interest earnings on the amounts originally deposited into such Pre-Funding Account, the Trustee shall distribute them to the order of the Depositor. The remaining funds in the Pre- Funding Account shall be transferred to the Certificate Account to be included as part of principal distributions to the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates in the manner and priority set forth herein on the December 2002 Distribution Date. (g) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall remit the applicable Capitalized Interest Deposit to the Trustee for deposit in the related Capitalized Interest Account. On the Business Day prior to each of the October 2002, November 2002 and December 2002 Distribution Dates, the Trustee shall transfer from each Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Capitalized Interest Requirement for such Distribution Date. On each of the October 2002 and November 2002 Distribution Dates, the applicable Overfunded Interest Amount shall be withdrawn from the related Capitalized Interest Account and paid to the Depositor. Any funds remaining in each Capitalized Interest Account immediately after the December 2002 Distribution Date shall be paid to the Depositor. 66 SECTION 3.06 Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Accounts; Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Accounts; Payments of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the applicable Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, "Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Home Equity Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2002-3" or, if established and maintained by a Subservicer on behalf of the related Servicer, "[Subservicer's name], in trust for [Servicer's name]" or "[Subservicer's name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of taxes and insurance custodial account for [Servicer's name], its successors and assigns, for various owners of interest in [Servicer's name] mortgage-backed pools". The Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the related Servicer in accordance with Section 3.06(b). The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit P-1 hereto, in the case of an account established with a Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit P-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than a Servicer. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Depositor and Trustee. (b) Each Servicer (other than Washington Mutual) shall deposit in its Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt, or, in the case of Washington Mutual, within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein: (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the related Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. Each Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 3.06(c). Each Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the related Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the applicable Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes. (c) Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the related Servicer only: (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage; 67 (ii) to reimburse such Servicer for any Servicing Advances made by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan; (iv) for transfer to the related Collection Account to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note; (v) for application to restore or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 3.09; (vi) to pay to such Servicer, or any Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in such Escrow Account; and (vii) to clear and terminate such Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement. SECTION 3.07 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans; Inspections. (a) Each Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office designated by such Servicer. (b) Each Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Properties as often as deemed necessary by such Servicer in such Servicer's sole discretion, to assure itself that the value of such Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, each Servicer shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. Each Servicer shall keep a written or electronic report of each such inspection. SECTION 3.08 Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Accounts and Certificate Account. Each Servicer may (and in the case of clause (viii) below, shall) from time to time make withdrawals from the related Collection Account for the following purposes: (i) to pay to such Servicer (to the extent not previously retained by such Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.14, and to pay to such 68 Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or credited to such Collection Account; (ii) to reimburse such Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made (including without limitation, late recoveries of payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, amounts representing proceeds of other insurance policies, if any, covering the related Mortgaged Property, rental and other income from REO Property and proceeds of any purchase or repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan, to the extent received by such Servicer); (iii) to reimburse such Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made from collections or proceeds of any of the Mortgage Loans; (iv) to reimburse such Servicer for (A) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, such Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (A) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts received on such Mortgage Loan which represent late payments of principal and/or interest (including, without limitation, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, amounts representing proceeds of other insurance policies, if any, covering the related Mortgaged Property, rental and other income from REO Property and proceeds of any purchase or repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan with respect to such Mortgage Loan) respecting which any such advance was made, (B) for unpaid Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 and unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances as provided in Section 3.11(a)(iv)(A) hereof and (C) in the case of Ocwen, for unpaid Servicing Fees not otherwise collected from Liquidation Proceeds; (v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase; (vi) to reimburse such Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof; (vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in such Collection Account and not required to be deposited therein; (viii) on or prior to the Servicer Remittance Date, to withdraw an amount equal to the Available Funds plus any related Expense Fees (other than the Servicing Fee) for such Distribution Date and any Prepayment Penalties received in respect of the Mortgage Loans, subject to the collection of funds included in the definition of "Available Funds" and remit such amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account; and (ix) to clear and terminate such Collection Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof. 69 Each Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan basis for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v). Prior to making any withdrawal from a Collection Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the related Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by such Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for distributions to FSA, the Certificateholders and the Credit Risk Manager, if applicable, in the manner specified in this Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the following purposes: (i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee and any investment income earned for the related Distribution Date; (ii) to withdraw and return to the applicable Servicer for deposit to the Collection Account any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and not required to be deposited therein; and (iii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof. SECTION 3.09 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Mortgage Impairment Insurance; Claims; Restoration of Mortgaged Property. Each Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the related Mortgage Loans, which policy shall provide coverage in an amount equal to the amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (B) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming co-insurer. Any amounts collected by a Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a standard hazard insurance policy, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the related Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from such Servicer's funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Trustee, a Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Trustee. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, each Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy. 70 Pursuant to Section 3.05, any amounts collected by a Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the related Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with such Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the related Collection Account (subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08). Any costs incurred by a Servicer in maintaining such insurance shall be recoverable by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance out of payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, each Servicer shall be required to pay the costs of maintaining any insurance contemplated by this Section 3.09 only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of such Servicer, will be recoverable. A Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Trustee prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, each Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds: (i) such Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto; (ii) such Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens; and (iii) pending repairs or restoration, such Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds in the related Escrow Account. If the Trustee is named as an additional loss payee, the related Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Trustee. SECTION 3.10 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. Each Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision contained in any related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the related Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that such Servicer shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any. If a Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, such Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement 71 with the person to whom such property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event such Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note and such Servicer has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which such Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note, including without limitation, the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan or the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed. Subject to each Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in this Section 3.10, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, such Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the related Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this Section 3.10 have been met in connection therewith. The related Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by a Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by such Servicer as additional servicing compensation. SECTION 3.11 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage Loans. (a) (i) Each Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the related Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. With respect to such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default, each Servicer will decide whether to (i) foreclose upon the Mortgaged Properties securing such Mortgage Loans, (ii) write off the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as 72 bad debt, (iii) take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) accept a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or permit a short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate refinancing transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property), (v) arrange for a repayment plan, or (vi) agree to a modification in accordance with this Agreement. In connection with such decision, the related Servicer shall take such action as (i) such Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (ii) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (iii) such Servicer shall determine consistently with Accepted Servicing Practices to be in the best interest of the Trustee and Certificateholders, and (iv) is consistent with the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that such Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine in its sole discretion (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the related Collection Account). The related Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds and as provided in Section 3.08(iv)(A). (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is one hundred twenty (120) days delinquent, the related Servicer shall obtain a broker's price opinion with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the cost of obtaining any such broker's price opinion to be reimbursable to the related Servicer as a Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 3.08(iii) or (iv). After obtaining the related broker's price opinion, the related Servicer will determine whether any Significant Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property. If the related Servicer determines that (x) no Significant Net Recovery is possible or (y) the potential Net Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related Servicer in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is insufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, it may, at its discretion, charge off such delinquent Mortgage Loan in accordance with subsections (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) below. As to any Ocwen Serviced Loan: (A) prior to obtaining the broker's price opinion described above and thereafter except as described in clause (B) below, Ocwen shall have absolutely no obligation to perform loss mitigation or default management services (other than its standard collection activities) with respect to any such Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that Ocwen shall be entitled to receive its Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan through the 120th day of delinquency; and (B) if Ocwen determines that (x) a Significant Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property and (y) the potential Net Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, 73 determined by Ocwen in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is sufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, then Ocwen shall Special Service the related Mortgage Loan and shall receive as servicing compensation (i) $100 per month from the date on which Ocwen begins to Special Service such Mortgage Loan through foreclosure or liquidation and (ii) $135 per month for the period during which Ocwen is Special Servicing the related REO Property, provided that, if Ocwen acts as Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this clause (B), Ocwen shall receive such compensation in lieu of its Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (A) above. As to any Ocwen Serviced Loan for which Ocwen is to receive the compensation described in the previous sentence in lieu of its Servicing Fee, Ocwen shall report such information to the Trustee together with the information reported to the Trustee on each Servicer Data Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof. (iii) If the related Servicer determines based on the broker's price opinion obtained under paragraph (a)(ii) above and other relevant considerations that (x) no Significant Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property or (y) the potential Net Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related Servicer in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is insufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, it will be obligated to charge off the related Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days delinquent. Once a Mortgage Loan has been charged off, the related Servicer will discontinue making Advances, the related Servicer will not be entitled to any additional servicing compensation (except as described in paragraphs(a)(ii) or (a) (iv) of this Section 3.11), the Charged Off Loan will give rise to a Realized Loss, and the related Servicer will follow the procedures described in paragraph (a)(iv) below. If the related Servicer determines that (x) a Significant Net Recovery is possible through foreclosure proceedings or other liquidation of the Mortgaged Property and (y) the potential Net Recoveries are anticipated to be an amount, determined by the related Servicer in its good faith judgment and in light of other mitigating circumstances, that is sufficient to warrant proceeding through foreclosure or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, such Servicer may continue to make Advances or Servicing Advances on the related Mortgage Loan that has become 180 days delinquent and, in the case of Ocwen or Wilshire, as applicable, will notify the Credit Risk Manager of that decision. (iv) (A) With respect to any Ocwen Serviced Loan or Washington Mutual Serviced Loan that becomes a Charged Off Loan, Ocwen or Washington Mutual, as applicable, shall notify Wilshire of its decision to charge off such Mortgage Loan and the servicing of such Ocwen Serviced Loan or Washington Mutual Serviced Loan will be transferred to Wilshire, such transfer to be initiated by Ocwen or Washington Mutual, as applicable, on the 15th day of the month (or if the 15th of the month is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following the month in which such Ocwen Serviced Loan or Washington Mutual Serviced Loan becomes a Charged Off Loan and may be serviced, at Wilshire's discretion, using Wilshire Special Servicing as provided in paragraph (iv)(B) below. Immediately upon transfer of any Ocwen Serviced Loan or Washington Mutual Serviced Loan to Wilshire, Ocwen or 74 Washington Mutual, as applicable, shall be reimbursed for all unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees relating to such transferred Mortgage Loan out of funds on deposit in the Collection Account. The related Servicer shall provide an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee no later than the related Servicer Remittance Date evidencing the amount to be reimbursed pursuant to the previous sentence with respect to any Mortgage Loans transferred by such Servicer to Wilshire. With respect to any Ocwen Serviced Loan transferred to Wilshire pursuant to this clause (iv)(A) prior to such Mortgage Loan being serviced by Ocwen for a period of one year, Ocwen shall receive $25 as a deboarding fee. Ocwen or Washington Mutual shall notify the Trustee of any Ocwen Serviced Loan or Washington Mutual Serviced Loan, as applicable, that is transferred to Wilshire. Ocwen or Washington Mutual, as applicable, shall provide servicing information on such transferred Mortgage Loans as reasonably requested by Wilshire including, but not limited to, an electronic data tape containing the fields set forth in Exhibit T hereto, and an electronic file or hard copy containing collection comments, outstanding advance balances, payment histories, and hardcopies of any imaged files. Ocwen or Washington Mutual, as applicable, shall be responsible for any other reasonable actions required by Accepted Servicing Practices relating to the transfer of servicing and the charging off of such Mortgage Loans. All costs of such transfer of the electronic data tape and files relating to Ocwen Serviced Loans shall be paid by Ocwen. All costs of such transfer of the electronic data tape and files relating to Washington Mutual Serviced Loans shall be reimbursable to Washington Mutual as a Servicing Advance immediately upon transfer of such Washington Mutual Serviced Loans to Wilshire. Neither Ocwen nor Washington Mutual shall be responsible for Wilshire's boarding costs of such transferred Mortgage Loans. Wilshire shall not be responsible for the reimbursement of any Advance or Servicing Advance on a transferred Mortgage Loan. (B) Any (x) Wilshire Serviced Loan that becomes a Charged Off Loan and (y) any Ocwen Serviced Loan or Washington Mutual Serviced Loan that becomes a Charged Off Loan and is transferred to Wilshire pursuant to paragraph (iv)(A) above may continue to be serviced by Wilshire for the Certificateholders using Wilshire Special Servicing. Wilshire will accrue, but not be entitled to any Servicing Fees and reimbursement of expenses in connection with such Charged Off Loans, except to the extent of funds available from the aggregate amount of recoveries on all Charged Off Loans. Such aggregate recovery amounts on Charged Off Loans shall be paid to Wilshire first, as reimbursement of any outstanding and unpaid expenses, and second, as any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees. Wilshire will only be entitled to previously accrued Servicing Fees and expenses on any such Charged Off Loans. Wilshire will not be entitled to receive any future unaccrued Servicing Fees or expenses from collections on such Charged Off Loans. Any Charged Off Loan serviced by Wilshire using Wilshire Special Servicing shall be so serviced until the Release Date described below. Any Net Recoveries on such Charged Off Loans received prior to the Release Date will be treated as Liquidation Proceeds and included in Available Funds. 75 On the date (the "Release Date") which is no more than six months after the date on which Wilshire begins servicing any Charged Off Loans using Wilshire Special Servicing, unless specific Net Recoveries are anticipated by Wilshire on a particular Charged Off Loan (in which case the Release Date will be delayed until all such specific anticipated Net Recoveries are received), such Charged Off Loan will be released from the Trust Fund, will no longer be an asset of any REMIC, and will be transferred to the Class X-2 Certificateholders, without recourse, and thereafter (i) those Holders will be entitled to any amounts subsequently received in respect of any such Released Loans, (ii) the Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder may designate any servicer to service any such Released Loan and (iii) the Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder may sell any such Released Loan to a third party. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if at any time after a Mortgage Loan has been Charged Off and prior to six months after the date on which Wilshire begins servicing such Charged Off Loan using Wilshire Special Servicing, Wilshire determines that there will not be any Net Recoveries on such Charged Off Loan under any circumstances, Wilshire may release such Charged Off Loan to the Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder in accordance with the provisions set forth in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the procedures described above in this subsection 3.11(a)(iv) relating to the treatment of Charged Off Loans may be modified at any time at the discretion of the Majority in Interest Class X-1 Certificateholder, with the consent of Wilshire, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and if the modification would adversely affect or materially increase the obligations of Ocwen or Washington Mutual, with the consent of Ocwen or Washington Mutual, as applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that in no event shall the Majority in Interest Class X-1 Certificateholder change the fee structure relating to Charged Off Loans in a manner that would cause fees to be paid to Wilshire other than from recoveries on Charged Off Loans. The Trustee shall track collections received by Wilshire on any Charged Off Loans based upon loan level data provided to the Trustee by Wilshire on each Servicer Data Remittance Date in a report in the form of Exhibit U hereto, identifying the Charged Off Loans as of the related Due Period that Wilshire will continue to service until the related Release Date using Wilshire Special Servicing. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall verify, based on the recovery and expense information provided by Wilshire on the related Servicer Data Remittance Date, (i) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees to be paid to Wilshire and expenses to be reimbursed to Wilshire on such Charged Off Loans as of the related Due Period and (ii) the amount of Net Recoveries on such Charged Off Loans for such Distribution Date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, without independent verification, on the loan level data provided by Wilshire that identifies the recovery amounts and the outstanding and unpaid expenses on any Charged Off Loan in order to verify the amount in clause (ii) of the previous sentence. The Trustee will be responsible for independently verifying the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence to be paid to Wilshire. (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the related Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Trustee otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property conducted by a qualified inspector shall be arranged for by such 76 Servicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the related Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee with a written report of environmental inspection. (vi) In the event the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, the related Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the environmental inspection report, together with the Servicing Advances made by such Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. If however, the aggregate of such clean up and foreclosure costs and Servicing Advances are less than or equal to the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property, then the related Servicer may, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, choose to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and such Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse such Servicer, such Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof. In the event the related Servicer does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, such Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, such Servicer shall have no further obligation to service such Mortgage Loan under the provisions of this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan will be transferred to Wilshire in accordance with paragraph (iv) above. (b) With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The related Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee's capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the related Servicer shall in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The related Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by such Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The related Servicer may rent such property, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property on such terms and conditions and for such periods as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The related Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each Distribution Date a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous calendar month and such Servicer's efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous calendar month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably request and which is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the related Collection Account no later than the close of business on 77 each Determination Date. The related Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, with respect to any Ocwen Serviced Loan that becomes a Charged Off Loan and is transferred to Wilshire pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv)(A) above, Ocwen shall not file a Form 1099C or other tax report relating to the forgiveness of debt of the related Mortgagor. To the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the related Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in amount which is equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (as reduced by any amount applied as a reduction of principal at the time of acquisition of the REO Property), liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above. Any costs incurred by a Servicer in maintaining such insurance shall be recoverable by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance out of payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, each Servicer shall be required to pay the costs of maintaining any insurance contemplated by this Section 3.11(b) only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of such Servicer, will be recoverable. (c) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the applicable Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable extension period. The applicable Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account, as a Servicing Advance, for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the related Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. 78 In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on the Mortgage Loan. (d) The decision of a Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by such Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of reimbursement to such Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of applicable accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, and unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the related Collection Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan. No Servicer shall acquire any Mortgaged Property on behalf of any REMIC created hereunder in connection with a default or imminent default on a Foreclosure Restricted Loan, if acquiring title to the Mortgaged Property underlying the loan would cause the adjusted basis, for federal income tax purposes, of these Mortgaged Properties owned by the related REMIC after foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the related REMIC other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, to exceed 0.75% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the related REMIC. If the adjusted basis of such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the related REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" with the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, exceed 1.0% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the related REMIC immediately after the distribution of principal and interest on any Distribution Date, the applicable Servicer will dispose of enough of such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, for cash or otherwise, so that the adjusted basis of such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the related REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, will be less than 1.0% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the related REMIC. Each Servicer will provide notice to the other Servicer of any Foreclosure Restricted Loan in order for the Servicers to make the determinations set forth in this clause (d). (e) The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the related Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse such Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the related Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by 79 such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the per annum rate equal to the related Mortgage Rate reduced by the related Servicing Fee Rate, to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the related Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14. (f) [reserved]. (g) The Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder, at its option, may (but is not obligated to) repurchase from the Trust Fund, (a) any related Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment by three or more Scheduled Payments or (b) any related Mortgage Loan with respect to which there has been initiated legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the related Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially. If it elects to make any such repurchase, the Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan with its own funds at a price equal to the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan. The Majority in Interest Class X-2 Certificateholder may designate any servicer to service any such Mortgage Loan purchased from the Trust. SECTION 3.12 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by a Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, such Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee (or the related Custodian, as the case may be) by delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit M. Upon receipt of such request, the Trustee (or the related Custodian, as the case may be) shall within three Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer, and the Trustee shall within three Business Days of such Servicer's direction execute and deliver to such Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by such Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. Each Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS(R) System of such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted by law and otherwise shall constitute a Servicing Advance. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days of delivery to the Trustee (or the related Custodian, as the case may be) of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the related Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the related Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee (or the related Custodian, 80 as the case may be) when the need therefor by such Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the related Collection Account, in which case such Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (or the related Custodian, as the case may be) a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M, signed by a Servicing Officer. If a Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, such Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. SECTION 3.13 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of a Servicer to be Held for the Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, each Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the related Servicer from time to time required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by such Servicer or which otherwise are collected by such Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in a Collection Account, shall be held by the related Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the related Collection Account, Certificate Account or any related Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that such Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to such Servicer under this Agreement. SECTION 3.14 Servicing Fee. As compensation for its services hereunder, each Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account or to retain from interest payments on the related Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan, less any amounts in respect of its Servicing Fee payable by such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(vi). The Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest portion of such Scheduled Payments collected by the related Servicer or as otherwise provided in Section 3.08. 81 Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be retained by the related Servicer. Each Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including the payment of any expenses incurred in connection with any Subservicing Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.02) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. SECTION 3.15 Access to Certain Documentation. Each Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. 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 such Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of any Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of such Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall require any Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. SECTION 3.16 Annual Statement as to Compliance. Each Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee on or before 120 days after the end of such Servicer's fiscal year, commencing after its 2002 fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of such Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of such Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, such Servicer has materially fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by such Servicer to cure such default. SECTION 3.17 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Statement; Financial Statements. On or before 120 days after the end of each Servicer's fiscal year, commencing after its 2002 fiscal year, each Servicer at its expense shall cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to such Servicer, the Seller or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of mortgage loans which such Servicer is servicing, including the related Mortgage Loans, and that, on the basis of such examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs, nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, except for (a) 82 such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (b) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the related Servicer's expense, provided such statement is delivered by such Servicer to the Trustee. SECTION 3.18 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. Each Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the related Mortgage Loans ("Servicer Employees"). The amount of coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be at least equal to the coverage maintained by the related Servicer in order to be acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to service loans for it or otherwise in an amount as is commercially available at a cost that is generally not regarded as excessive by industry standards. No provision of this Section 3.18 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve a 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. Upon the request of the Trustee, the related Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certificate of insurance of the insurer and the surety including a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Trustee. SECTION 3.19 Duties of the Credit Risk Manager. The Depositor appoints The Murrayhill Company as Credit Risk Manager. For and on behalf of the Depositor, and the Trustee, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and recommendations concerning Mortgage Loans that are past due, as to which there has been commencement of foreclosure, as to which there has been forbearance in exercise of remedies which are in default, as to which obligor is the subject of bankruptcy, receivership, or an arrangement of creditors, or as to which have become REO Properties. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreement and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the related Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data) and loan level information and data relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that in no event shall Washington Mutual be obligated or required to provide any such loan level information or any other data to the Credit Risk Manager under this Agreement. If the Credit Risk Manager is no longer able to perform its duties hereunder, the Depositor shall terminate the Credit Risk Manager and cause the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager. Upon any termination of the Credit 83 Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof to the Seller, the Servicers, the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall not become effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager. SECTION 3.20 Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager. Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Credit Risk Manager, shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by a Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreements or of errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in its performance of its duties under this Agreement or the Credit Risk Manager Agreements. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by any Servicer pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder. 84 ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES BY THE SERVICERS SECTION 4.01 Advances by the Servicers. Each Servicer shall deposit in a Collection Account an amount equal to all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate) which were due but not received on the related Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period; provided however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the related Servicer will not be required to advance the related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make Advances in accordance with this Section 4.01 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to an assumed scheduled payment that would otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate). Each Servicer's obligation to make such Advances as to any related Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in the judgment of such Servicer, been completely liquidated; provided however, that such obligation with respect to any related Mortgage Loan shall cease if such Servicer determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances; provided that the related Servicer will be required to make Advances until the earlier of (i) the time at which the related Mortgage Loan becomes 120 days delinquent or (ii) the time at which the related Servicer determines that such Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that such Servicer determines that any such Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, such Servicer shall provide the Trustee with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination. If an Advance is required to be made hereunder, the related Servicer shall on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date immediately following the related Determination Date either (i) deposit in the related Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.01, used by the related Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the related Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account on or before any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due.

On any Distribution Date, any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess 93 of the Required Reserve Fund Amount shall be distributed to the Class X-1 Certificateholder pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(iv)K.

(d) Funds in the Reserve Fund may be invested in Eligible Investments by the Trustee at the direction of the Majority in Interest Holder of the Class X-1 Certificate. Any net investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the Holder of the Class X-1 Certificate. Amounts held in the Reserve Fund from time to time shall continue to constitute assets of the Trust Fund, but not of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3, until released from the Reserve Fund pursuant to this Section 4.08. The Reserve Fund constitutes an "outside reserve fund" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss.1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3. For all federal tax purposes, amounts transferred by the REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to the Reserve Fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to the Class X-1 Certificateholders. The Class X-1 Certificate shall evidence ownership of the Reserve Fund for federal tax purposes and the Holders thereof shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of amounts therein. In the absence of such written direction, all funds in the Reserve Fund shall be invested by the Trustee in the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund.

SECTION 4.09 Prepayment Penalties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal Prepayment of a Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Mortgage Loan is in default or foreseeable default and such waiver (a) is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans to the Mortgage Loans and (b) would, in the reasonable judgment of the related Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Penalty and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii)(A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors' rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the related Servicer may waive a Prepayment Penalty in connection with a short sale or short payoff on a defaulted Mortgage Loan. If the related Servicer has waived all or a portion of a 94 Prepayment Penalty relating to a Principal Prepayment, other than as provided above, the related Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date, for deposit into the Certificate Account the amount of such Prepayment Penalty (or such portion thereof as had been waived) for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, the related Servicer shall not have any obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment Penalty under this Section 4.09 if such Servicer did not have a copy of the related Mortgage Note, such Servicer requested via email a copy of the same from the Trustee and the Trustee failed to provide such a copy within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such request. If the related Servicer has waived all or a portion of a Prepayment Penalty for any reason, it shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall include such information in any monthly reports it provides the Trustee. SECTION 4.10 Policy Matters. (a) As soon as possible, and in no event later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the third Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, based solely on the information provided to the Trustee by the Servicers on or before the related Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine the amount of funds available for such Distribution Date minus the amount of any FSA Premium, the Credit Risk Manager Fee and any Trustee Fee to be paid on such Distribution Date. If for any Distribution Date the Trustee determines that the funds available for distribution to the Holders of the Insured Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02 will be insufficient to pay the Guaranteed Distribution, the Trustee shall determine the amount of any such deficiency and shall complete a notice of the amount of such deficiency in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the FSA Policy (the "Notice") and shall submit such Notice to the FSA and Fiscal Agent (as defined in the FSA Policy) no later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the third Business Day preceding such Distribution Date. The Notice shall constitute a claim for an Insured Payment pursuant to the FSA Policy. Upon receipt of the Insured Payment, on behalf of the Holders of the Insured Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit such Insured Payment in the FSA Account and shall distribute such Insured Payment only in accordance with Section 4.02. The Trustee shall receive as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of an Insured Certificate any Insured Payment from FSA and disburse the same to each Holder of an Insured Certificate, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. Insured Payments disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds of the FSA Policy shall not be considered payment by the Trust nor shall such payments discharge the obligation of the Trust with respect to such Insured Certificates, and FSA shall become the owner of such unpaid amounts due from the Trust in respect of such Insured Payments as the deemed assignee of the Holders of such Certificates and shall be entitled to receive the FSA Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 4.02. The Trustee hereby agrees, and each Holder of an Insured Certificate by its acceptance of an Insured Certificate is deemed to agree, in each case for the benefit of FSA, that it and they recognize that to the extent that FSA makes Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by paying through the Trustee), to the Insured Certificateholders, FSA will be entitled to receive the FSA Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 4.02. It is understood and agreed that the intention of the parties is that FSA shall not be entitled to reimbursement on any Distribution Date for amounts previously paid by it unless on such 95 Distribution Date the Holders of the Insured Certificates, shall also have received the full amount of the Guaranteed Distributions for such Distribution Date. (b) In the event the Trustee receives a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any payment of principal or interest on an Insured Certificate has been voided in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall (i) promptly notify FSA and the Fiscal Agent (as defined in the FSA Policy), if any, and (ii) comply with the provisions of the FSA Policy to obtain payment by FSA of such voided payment. In addition, the Trustee shall mail notice to all Holders of the Insured Certificates so affected that, in the event that any such Holder's scheduled payment is so recovered, such Holder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of the FSA Policy, a copy of which shall be made available to such Holders by the Trustee. The Trustee shall furnish to FSA and the Fiscal Agent (as defined in the FSA Policy), if any, its records listing the payments on the affected Insured Certificates, if any, that have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from the affected Holders, and the dates on which such payments were made by the Trustee. (c) At the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee shall establish separate special purpose trust accounts in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of Holders of the Insured Certificates referred to herein as the "FSA Accounts" and over which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The FSA Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Trustee shall deposit any Insured Payment made under the FSA Policy in the applicable FSA Account and thereafter into the Certificate Account for distribution of such amount only for purposes of payment to Holders of the Insured Certificates of Guaranteed Distributions for the Insured Certificates for which a claim was made and such amount may not be applied to satisfy any other liability or any cost or expense of the Trustee or the Trust. Insured Payments made under the FSA Policy shall be disbursed by the Trustee to Holders of the Insured Certificates in the same manner as distributions on the Holders of the Insured Certificates are made under Section 4.02. It shall not be necessary for such distributions to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the check or wire transfer used to pay Guaranteed Distributions with other funds available to make such distributions. However, the amount of any Insured Payments made on the Insured Certificates to be paid from funds transferred from the applicable FSA Account shall be noted in the Certificate Register and in the statements to be furnished to Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof. Funds held in the FSA Accounts shall not be invested by the Trustee. (d) On any Distribution Date with respect to which a claim has been made under the FSA Policy, the amount of any Insured Payment received by the Trustee as a result of any claim under the FSA Policy and which is required to make distributions on the Insured Certificates equal to Guaranteed Distributions on the Insured Certificates, on such Distribution Date, shall be withdrawn from the related FSA Account, deposited into the Certificate Account and applied directly by the Trustee, together with all other funds to be withdrawn from the Certificate Account, to the payment in full of Guaranteed Distributions on the Insured Certificates. Any funds remaining in each FSA Account on the first Business Day following a Distribution Date shall be remitted in immediately available funds to FSA, pursuant to the instructions of FSA, by the end of such Business Day. FSA shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to the Trustee. 96 (e) The Trustee shall promptly notify FSA of either of the following as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge: (A) the commencement of any proceeding by or against the Depositor commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (an "Insolvency Proceeding") and (B) the making of any claim in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under the Bankruptcy Code (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the Insured Certificates. Each Holder of Insured Certificates, by its purchase of Insured Certificates, the Seller, the Servicers and the Trustee hereby agree that FSA (so long as there is no continuing Financial Security Default) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, FSA shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and each Holder of an Insured Certificate in the conduct of any Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim. (f) The Trustee shall keep complete and accurate records in respect of (i) all funds remitted to it by FSA and deposited into the FSA Account and (ii) the allocation of such funds to payments of interest and principal in respect of any Insured Certificates. FSA shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon one Business Day's prior notice to the Trustee. (g) The Trustee acknowledges, and each Holder of an Insured Certificate by its acceptance of the Insured Certificate agrees, that, without the need for any further action on the part of FSA or the Trustee, to the extent FSA makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any Insured Certificates, FSA will be fully subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Insured Certificates to receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund. The Holders of the Insured Certificates, by acceptance of the Insured Certificates, assign their rights as Holders of the Insured Certificates to the extent of FSA's interest with respect to amounts paid under the FSA Policy. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, solely for purposes of determining FSA's rights, as applicable, as subrogee for payments distributable pursuant to Section 4.02, any payment with respect to principal of or interest on any of the Insured Certificates which is made with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the FSA Policy shall not be considered payment of such Insured Certificates from the Trust Fund and shall not result in the payment of or the provision for the payment of the principal of or interest on such Certificates except to the extent such payment has been reimbursed to FSA pursuant to the terms hereof. (h) The Trustee and the Servicers shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by FSA for action to preserve or enforce FSA's rights or interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders as otherwise set forth herein. (i) For so long as there is no continuing Financial Security Default, each Holder of an Insured Certificate agrees that FSA shall be treated by the Depositor, the Seller, each Servicer and the Trustee as if FSA were the holder of all of the Insured Certificates for the purpose (and solely for the purpose) of the giving of any consent, the making of any direction or the exercise of any voting or 97 other control rights otherwise given to the Insured Certificateholders hereunder and the Holders of the Insured Certificates shall only exercise such rights with the prior written consent of FSA. (j) All notices, statements, reports, certificates or opinions required by this Agreement to be sent to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies or the Insured Certificateholders (including without limitation the reports prepared pursuant to Sections 3.16 and 3.17) shall also be sent at such time to FSA at Financial Security Assurance Inc., 350 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attn: Transaction Oversight. (k) Upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trustee becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall promptly notify FSA of such Event of Default. (l) Each Servicer shall designate at least one FSA Contact Person who shall be available to FSA to provide reasonable access to information regarding the Mortgage Loans. The initial FSA Contact Persons are the Servicing Officers. (m) The Trustee shall surrender the FSA Policy to FSA for cancellation upon the reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the Insured Certificates to zero. (n) All references herein to the ratings assigned to the Certificates and to the interests of any Certificateholders shall be without regard to the FSA Policy. FSA shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to enforce the provisions hereof as if a party hereto. 98 ARTICLE V THE CERTIFICATES SECTION 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement. Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer upon the written order of the Depositor. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the written direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof. The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction or transfer imposed under Article V of this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Certificate, or any interest therein, other than to require delivery of the certification(s) and/or opinions of counsel described in Article V applicable with respect to changes in registration of record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall have no liability for transfers, including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among Depository Participants or beneficial owners of the Certificates made in violation of applicable restrictions. 99 SECTION 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest. At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required. All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures. (b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. Except in connection with any transfer of a Private Certificate by the Depositor to any affiliate, in the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either (A) Exhibit K (the "Investment Letter") provided that all of the Class X Certificates of a Class shall be transferred to one investor or the Depositor otherwise consents to such transfer, or (B) Exhibit L (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Servicers shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding 100 sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicers 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. No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit L, as applicable), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (ii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee or the Servicers to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial acquiror's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect. To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA- Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements. (c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: 101 (i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee. (ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I. (iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee. (iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate. (v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee. The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller or the Servicers, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of 102 any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee. (d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers. (e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the 103 Definitive Certificates. None of the Sellers, the Servicers, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository. SECTION 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. SECTION 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicers, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicers or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicers, the Trustee or any agent of the Servicers or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. SECTION 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or a Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Servicers or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such 104 information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. SECTION 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies in New York, New York where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency. 105 ARTICLE VI THE DEPOSITOR, THE SELLER AND THE SERVICERS SECTION 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Sellers and the Servicers. The Depositor, the Seller and each Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein. SECTION 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer. The Depositor, the Seller and each Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof or as a federally chartered savings bank organized under the laws of the United States and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller or a Servicer may be merged or consolidated into another Person in accordance with the following paragraph. Any Person into which the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person with respect to a merger or consolidation of a Servicer shall be an institution which is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved company in good standing. In addition to the foregoing, there must be delivered to the Trustee a letter from each of the Rating Agencies, to the effect that such merger, conversion or consolidation of a Servicer will not result in a disqualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then current rating of any of the Certificates. SECTION 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers and Others. None of the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or any Servicer shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, each Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer may rely in good faith on any document 106 of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, each Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, or the related Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund 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 incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Seller or any Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Seller or any Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and 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 Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller and each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account. Each Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall survive the resignation or termination of such Servicer as set forth herein. SECTION 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of a Servicer. (a) Subject to Section 6.04(b) below, a Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a)(i) upon appointment, pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.02, of a successor servicer which (x) has a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 and (y) is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved company in good standing, (ii) receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then current rating of any of the Certificates and (iii) receipt by FSA of oral confirmation from each Rating Agency that the rating assigned to any of the Certificates is given without regard to the FSA Policy, or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of a Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed such Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder and the requirements of Section 7.02 have been satisfied. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, so long as it is the owner of the servicing rights, or any subsequent owner of such servicing rights so long as it is the owner of such servicing rights, shall be entitled to require that either or both of Wilshire and Ocwen resign and appoint a successor servicer with respect to the Wilshire Serviced Loans or Ocwen Serviced Loans, as applicable; provided that such entity delivers to the Trustee the letter required by Section 6.04(a)(ii) above. 107 ARTICLE VII DEFAULT SECTION 7.01 Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the following events: (i) any failure by a Servicer to make any deposit or payment required pursuant to this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day (or, in the case of any such failure to make any deposit or payment due to any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis or act of god, for a period of three Business Days) after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to such Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or (ii) any failure by a Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of such Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which failure or breach (a) materially affects the rights of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer and (b) continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure or breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to such Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or (iii) if a representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.03(b), (c) or (d), as applicable, hereof shall prove to be materially incorrect as of the time made in any respect that materially and adversely affects interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, and the circumstances or condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or cured, within 30 days (or, if such breach is not capable of being cured within 30 days and provided that the related Servicer believes in good faith that such breach can be cured and is diligently pursuing the cure thereof, within 90 days) after the date on which written notice thereof shall have been given to the related Servicer by the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or by the Depositor; or (iv) failure by a Servicer to maintain, if required, its license to do business in any jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located; or (v) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding- up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against a Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 108 (vi) a Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to such Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or (vii) any failure of a Servicer to make any Advance, to the extent required under Section 4.01 in the manner and at the time required to be made from its own funds pursuant to this Agreement and after receipt of notice from the Trustee, which failure continues unremedied after the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date; or (viii) a Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or cease its normal business operations for three Business Days. Other than an Event of Default resulting from a failure of a Servicer to make any Advance, if an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice in writing to such Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder and its rights to reimbursement for Advances or other advances previously made pursuant to this Agreement. If an Event of Default results from the failure of a Servicer to make an Advance, the Trustee shall prior to the Distribution Date occurring in the succeeding calendar month, by notice in writing to such Servicer and the Depositor (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer under this Agreement prior to the Distribution Date occurring in the succeeding calendar month and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. Upon receipt by a Servicer of such written notice of termination, all authority and power of such Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee or its nominee. Upon written request from the Trustee, such Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated by the Trustee any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all related Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents, at such Servicer's sole expense. Each Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and such successor in effecting the termination of such Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by such Servicer to the Collection Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the related Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of such 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 109 or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. SECTION 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement or the resignation of such Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided herein, be the successor to such Servicer, but only in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement, and not in any other, and the transactions set forth herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on such Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the related Mortgage Loans that such Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account, provided that the terminated Servicer shall nonetheless be entitled to payment or reimbursement as provided in Section 3.08 to the extent that such payment or reimbursement relates to the period prior to termination of such Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to a Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to 4.01 hereof, or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to such Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such Servicer hereunder. Any successor to a Servicer shall be an institution which is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer for first and second loans in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $10,000,000, which is willing to service the related Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of such Servicer (other than liabilities of such Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of such Servicer under Section 7.01 hereunder), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; provided that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified, withdrawn or downgraded as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to such Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to the limitations described herein, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of such Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it. 110 In connection with the termination or resignation of any Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this subsection. Any successor to a Servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that such Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to this Agreement. SECTION 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to a Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency. (b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Event of Default hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. 111 ARTICLE VIII CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 8.01 Duties of the Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that: (i) unless an Event of Default actually known to the Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder; (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to 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. 112 SECTION 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01: (i) the Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' 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 Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties; (ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or accountants 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 advice or Opinion of Counsel; (iii) the Trustee shall not be 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; (iv) the Trustee shall not 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 evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates; (v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, affiliates, accountants or attorneys; (vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it; (vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security); (viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof; and (ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts, rights 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 reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. 113 SECTION 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS or the MERS(R) System, other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and countersignature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or a Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or a Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or a Servicer. SECTION 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer and their affiliates, with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee. SECTION 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account on each Distribution Date prior to making distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Depositor and the Servicers, to the extent such indemnity related to the failure of the related Servicer to perform its servicing obligations in accordance with this Agreement, and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Custodial Agreement, (c) the Certificates, (d) the FSA Policy, or (e) the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by the related Servicer. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Depositor covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred 114 by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar or Tax Matters Person hereunder or for any other expenses. SECTION 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee and Custodian. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current Ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or a Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Seller, the Depositor or a Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to a Servicer. SECTION 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Seller, each Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal (as provided below), the resigning or removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to each Servicer and the Seller and one copy to the successor trustee. The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, 115 signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to each Servicer and the Seller, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the successor trustee. All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the removal of the Trustee without cause shall be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08. SECTION 8.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and each Servicer and the Seller an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, each Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor. SECTION 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 116 SECTION 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, each 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 to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as each Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If a Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to a 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 applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; (ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; (iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and (iv) The Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee. Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts 117 conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to each Servicer and the Depositor. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co- trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. SECTION 8.11 Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with respect to which the REMIC elections are to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to each such segregated pool of assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the Trust Fund Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each of REMIC 1,REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that the assets of each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non- Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the 118 status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the fourth paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on the Trust Fund prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to the Trust Fund, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of the Trust Fund, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it. To the extent that they are under its control, each Servicer shall conduct matters relating to the assets of each REMIC at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1,REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. No Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3. In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor any such additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis. In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the related Servicer or the Seller, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such Servicer or the Seller of any of their obligations under this Agreement or (iii) the 119 Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller's obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the related Servicer or Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.02. The Trustee shall treat the Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Class X-1 Certificateholder and that is not an asset of the REMICs. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Class A-1, Class M-1, Class M-2A, Class M-2B and Class B Certificateholders to receive payments from the Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X-1 Certificateholder in favor of the Class A-1, Class M-1, Class M-2A, Class M-2B and Class B Certificateholders. Thus, each Certificate other than the Class X-1 Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of not only REMIC Regular Interests, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate cap contract. For purposes of determining the issue price of the REMIC Regular interests, the Trustee shall assume that the interest rate cap contract has a value of $5,000. Neither a Servicer nor the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. SECTION 8.12 Periodic Filings. The Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund, cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. In connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic reports, the Depositor and each Servicer shall timely provide to the Trustee all material information available to them which is required to be included in such reports. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 8.12 may be amended at any time by the Depositor, each Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders and with the prior written consent of FSA if such amendment adversely affects in any respect the rights or interests of FSA or of the Insured Certificates (without regard to the FSA Policy). 120 ARTICLE IX TERMINATION SECTION 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 9.03, the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers and the Trustee created hereunder with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Optional Termination Holder of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining at the price equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the Aggregate Collateral Balance plus one month's accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate, (B) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Depositor at the expense of the Depositor and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (C) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the 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 to repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of the REO Properties at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent of the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Cut-off Date. SECTION 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any Determination Date, the Trustee determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Accounts and Certificate Account, the Trustee shall promptly send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the Optional Termination Holder above elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders such Person shall notify the Servicers and the Trustee of the date the Depositor intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and 121 surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified.

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

The Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicers also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, but shall be at the expense of the party preparing such amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any federal tax on the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or cause REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder if the consent of Certificateholders was required and each Rating Agency.
