POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2006, among BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the “Depositor”), SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC., a Virginia corporation, as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller” or the “Sponsor”), and as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates.

As provided herein, the Securities Administrator shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of any Prepayment Charge Waiver Amounts) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, REMIC I, REMIC II, and REMIC III (the “Upper Tier REMIC”), respectively). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R Certificate, represents ownership of a regular interest in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

REMIC III shall hold as its assets the several Classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC II, other than the Class R-2 Interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC II shall hold as its assets the several Classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC I, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC I. REMIC I shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC I and REMIC II, and any Prepayment Charge Waiver Amounts.

The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

REMIC I:

REMIC I shall issue the several classes of uncertificated REMIC I Interests set out below. Each such REMIC I Interest, other than the Class R-1 Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC I. The following table specifies the Class designation, interest rate, and principal amount for each Class of REMIC I Interests:

REMIC I Class Designation	Interest Rate	Initial Class Principal Amount	Corresponding Subgroup
LT-I-GSA	6.00%	(1)	I
LT-I-Subgroup	6.00%	(2)	I
LT-II-GSA	6.50%	(1)	II
LT-II-Subgroup	6.50%	(2)	II
LT-III-GSA	7.50%	(1)	III
LT-III-Subgroup	7.50%	(2)	III
LT-X	(3)	(3)	NA
LT-PO	0.00%	$1,560,764	NA
R-1	(4)	(4)	(4)

(1)

This interest shall have an initial class principal amount equal to one percent of the Group Subordinate Amount of its Corresponding Subgroup.

(2)

This interest shall have an initial class principal amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate initial principal amount of its Corresponding Subgroup over (ii) the sum of (a) the initial class principal amount of the interest bearing the designation “GSA” which corresponds to the same Subgroup and (b) the portion of the LT-PO initial class principal amount attributable to the Discount Mortgage Loans in such Subgroup.

(3)

The Class LT-X Interest does not have a principal balance and is entitled to receive on each Distribution Date a specified portion of the interest payable on the Mortgage Loans with a Net Mortgage Rate greater than 7.50% as of the Cut-off Date (the “Premium Loans”). Specifically, for each Due Period, the Class LT-X Interest is entitled to interest accruals on Premium Loans at a per annum rate determined for each Subgroup equal to the excess of (i) the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of such loans over (ii) 7.50%.

(4)

The Class R-1 Interest does not have a principal balance and does not bear interest.

On each Distribution Date, the Pool Distribution Amount distributable as interest shall be distributed as interest with respect to the REMIC I Interests based on the interest rates described above. On each Distribution Date, Excess Losses sustained with respect to any Subgroup are to be allocated among the Classes of REMIC I Interests related to such Subgroup based on the relative amounts of interest otherwise accrued for the related Accrual Period on each such REMIC I Interest.

On each Distribution Date, the Pool Distribution Amount distributable as principal shall be distributed as principal on REMIC I Interests as follows:

(1)

First, to the Class LT-PO Interests until its balance equals that of the Class PO Certificate immediately after the Distribution Date;

(2)

Second, from the remaining Pool Distribution Amount for Subgroup I, to the Class LT-I-GSA Interest until its principal balance equals one percent of the Group Subordinate Amount for Subgroup I after such Distribution Date;

(3)

Third, from the remaining Pool Distribution Amount for Subgroup II, to the Class LT-II-GSA Interest until its principal balance equals one percent of the Group Subordinate Amount for Subgroup II after such Distribution Date;

(4)

Fourth, from the remaining Pool Distribution Amount for Subgroup III, to the Class LT-III-GSA Interest until its principal balance equals one percent of the Group Subordinate Amount for Subgroup III after such Distribution Date;

(5)

Fifth, to the Class LT-I-GSA, Class LT-II-GSA, and Class LT-III-GSA Interests, from the remaining Pool Distribution Amount for Subgroup I, Subgroup II, and Subgroup III, the minimum amount necessary to cause the ratio of the principal balance of each such REMIC I Interest to the principal balance of the sum of the other two such REMIC I Interest to equal the ratio of the Group Subordinate Amount related to such REMIC I Interest to the sum of the Group Subordinate Amounts related to the other two such REMIC I Interests immediately after such Distribution Date;

(6) Finally, from the remaining Pool Distribution Amount from each of the Mortgage Subgroups, concurrently, as follows –

(a)

To the Class LT-I-Subgroup until the sum of (a) its principal balance and (b) the principal balance of the LT-I-GSA, after taking into account distributions made pursuant to priorities (2) and (5) above, equals the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup I as of the last day of the related Due Period minus the portion of the LT-PO class principal amount attributable to the Discount Loans in such Subgroup;

(b)

To the Class LT-II-Subgroup until the sum of (a) its principal balance and (b) the principal balance of the LT-II-GSA, after taking into account distributions made pursuant to priorities (3) and (5) above, equals the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup II as of the last day of the related Due Period minus the portion of the LT-PO class principal amount attributable to the Discount Loans in such Subgroup; and

(c)

To the Class LT-III-Subgroup until the sum of (a) its principal balance and (b) the principal balance of the LT-III-GSA, after taking into account distributions made pursuant to priorities (4) and (5) above, equals the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in Subgroup III as of the last day of the related Due Period minus the portion of the LT-PO class principal amount attributable to the Discount Loans in such Subgroup;

For each Distribution Date, Realized Losses, other than Excess Losses, shall be allocated among the REMIC I Interests in the same manner that principal is allocated among the REMIC I Interests.

REMIC II:

REMIC II shall issue the several classes of uncertificated REMIC II Interests set out below. Each such REMIC II Interest, other than the Class R-2 Interest, is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC II. The following table specifies the Class designation, interest rate, and principal amount for each Class of REMIC II Interests:

REMIC II Class Designation	Interest Rate	Initial Class Principal Amount	Corresponding Class of Certificates
LT2-I-A1	6.00%	(3)	Class I-A-1

(1)

The Class LT2-X Interest shall be entitled to receive all distributions on the Class LT-X Interest in REMIC I.

(2)

The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Due Period) for these interests shall be a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Class LT-I-GSA, Class LT-II-GSA, and Class LT-III-GSA Interests, weighted on the basis of the respective class principal amounts of each such REMIC I Interest.

(3)

This interest shall have an initial class principal amount equal to the initial class principal amount of its Corresponding Class of Certificates, other than any Interest-Only Certificates..

(4)

The Class R-2 Interest does not have a principal balance and does not bear interest.

On each Distribution Date, the Pool Distribution Amount distributable as interest with respect to the Lower-Tier Interests in REMIC I shall be distributed as interest with respect to the REMIC II Interests based on the interest rates described above. On each Distribution Date, Excess Losses sustained with respect to any Subgroup are to be allocated among the Classes of REMIC II Interests related to such Subgroup based on the relative amounts of interest otherwise accrued for the related Due Period on each such REMIC II Interest.

On each Distribution Date, the Pool Distribution Amount distributable as principal with respect to the Lower-Tier Interests in REMIC I shall be distributed as principal on REMIC II Interests (other than the Class LT-X Interest) until the principal balance of such REMIC II Interest equals the Certificate Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates (other than the Interest Only Certificates) immediately after such Distribution Date.

For each Distribution Date, Realized Losses, other than Excess Losses, shall be allocated among the REMIC II Interests in the same manner that principal is allocated among the REMIC II Interests.

Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the following meanings:

Accepted Master Servicing Practices: With respect to any Mortgage Loan, those customary mortgage servicing practices of prudent mortgage servicing institutions that master service mortgage loans of the same type and quality as such Mortgage Loan in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, to the extent applicable to the Trustee or the Master Servicer (except in its capacity as successor to the Servicer).

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Sponsor further agrees that it will cause, at the Sponsor’s own expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Sponsor to the Depositor and 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 in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Sponsor further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer, any Servicer or the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of Mortgage Files, including, but not limited to certain insurance policies and documents contemplated by Section 4.12 of this Agreement, and preparation and delivery of the certifications shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement.

Section 2.02

Acceptance of the Mortgage Loans.

(a)

Based on the Initial Certification (as defined below) received by it from the Custodian, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of, subject to the further review and exceptions reported by the Custodian pursuant to the procedures described below, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf pursuant to Section 2.01 and declares that it holds and will continue to hold directly or through a custodian those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will deliver to the Sponsor and the Trustee an initial certification in the form of Exhibit One to the Custodial Agreement (the “Initial Certification”) confirming whether or not it has received the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, but without review of such Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm whether such Mortgage File contains the original Mortgage Note or a lost note affidavit and indemnity in lieu thereof. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File delivered to it and execute and deliver to the Sponsor and, if reviewed by the Custodian, the Trustee, an interim certification in the form of Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether all required documents have been executed and received and whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement, as supplemented (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). In performing any such review, the Trustee and the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall include such information in the exception report. The Sponsor shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Sponsor may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if the Sponsor fails to correct or cure the defect or deliver such opinion within such period, the Sponsor will, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Sponsor to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee, or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon because such documents have been submitted for recording and have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Sponsor shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Sponsor delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.

(b)

No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Sponsor and, if reviewed by the Custodian, the Trustee, a final certification in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement (the “Final Certification”). In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf will ascertain whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf has received either an original or a copy thereof, as required in Section 2.01 (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subclauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01, such obligations shall extend only to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclauses). If the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds any document with respect to a Mortgage Loan has not been received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall note such defect in the exception report attached to the Final Certification and shall promptly notify the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Sponsor may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan (such determination to be made within 60 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect) and if the Sponsor is unable within such period to correct or cure such defect, or to substitute the related Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan or to deliver such opinion, the Sponsor shall, subject to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee, purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Sponsor to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon, because such documents have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Sponsor shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Sponsor delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.

(c)

In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Sponsor in accordance with subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above or Section 2.03, the Sponsor shall remit the applicable Purchase Price to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account and shall provide written notice to the Trustee detailing the components of the Purchase Price, signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon receipt of written notice from the Sponsor of the deposit of the Purchase Price in the Distribution Account and upon receipt of a Request for Release with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Custodian will release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty furnished to it by the Sponsor, as are necessary to vest in the Sponsor title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the deposit into the Distribution Account was made. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of such repurchase. The obligation of the Sponsor to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedies respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.

(d)

The Sponsor shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, and the Trustee agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan, which the Trustee or the Custodian will review as provided in subsections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b), provided, that the Closing Date referred to therein shall instead be the date of delivery of the Mortgage File with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan.

As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties concerning the Mortgage Loans set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects.

(d)

Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties. The Sponsor hereby covenants with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, that within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth therein that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach is not so cured, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above or repurchase pursuant to (ii) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 hereof 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. The Sponsor shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. To enable the Servicer to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Sponsor shall, unless it cures such breach in a timely fashion pursuant to this Section 2.03, promptly notify the Servicer whether it intends either to repurchase, or to substitute for, the Mortgage Loan affected by such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that are made to the best of the Sponsor’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator 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, notwithstanding the Sponsor’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, the Sponsor shall nevertheless be required to cure, substitute for or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with the foregoing.

With respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Sponsor shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders such documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01. No substitution shall be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the Due Period related to the Distribution Date on which such proceeds are to be distributed shall not be part of the Trust Fund and shall be retained by the Sponsor. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the related Due Period and thereafter the Sponsor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer 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 Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Sponsor shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit into the Distribution Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph and receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Sponsor of such deposit and a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee or the Custodian shall release to the Sponsor the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan and held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Sponsor’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment as have been prepared by the Sponsor, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to vest in the Sponsor, or its respective designee, title to the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all the Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the Scheduled Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payment due in the month of substitution) of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate of such deficiencies, described in the preceding sentence for any Distribution Date (such amount, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be deposited into the Distribution Account by the Securities Administrator upon receipt from the Sponsor delivering such Replacement Mortgage Loan on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that the Sponsor shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited into the Distribution Account maintained by the Securities Administrator, on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Sponsor became obligated to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon receipt of written notice from the Sponsor of such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 and the receipt of a Request for Release, the Trustee or the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the Sponsor, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction the related instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Sponsor, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and transfer the Trustee’s interest to the Sponsor to any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.03. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Sponsor to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Sponsor respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.

(e)

The representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03 hereof shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

Section 2.04

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Depositor, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of the Depositor and will not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision of the organizational documents of the Depositor or (B) conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it may be bound or (C) constitute a violation of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor; and the Depositor is not in breach or violation of any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or violation may materially impair the Depositor’s ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(iv)

No litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party in accordance with the terms hereof.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee as of the Closing Date, following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Sponsor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, claims, defenses or counterclaims.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Trustee of a breach of such representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

Section 2.05

Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions and Repurchases.

(a)

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made unless the Sponsor delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereby or contributions after the Closing Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any of any REMIC created hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Any Mortgage Loan as to which repurchase or substitution was delayed pursuant to this paragraph shall be repurchased or the substitution therefor shall occur (subject to compliance with Sections 2.02 or 2.03) upon the earlier of (a) the occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (b) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that such repurchase or substitution, as applicable, will not result in the events described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(b)

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

Section 2.06

The Trustee shall not cause the trust to engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement while any Certificate is outstanding, and this Section 2.07 may not be amended, without the consent of the Certificateholders evidencing 51% or more of the aggregate Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates; provided that, for purposes of this provision, any Certificate held by the Sponsor or any affiliate of the Sponsor shall not be considered outstanding and, therefore, the Sponsor and its affiliates shall not be entitled to vote on matters hereunder and the Voting Rights related to any such Certificates held by the Sponsor or its affiliates shall not be included in the determination of the aggregate Voting Rights of outstanding Certificates.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF
THE MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE SERVICER

Section 3.01

The Servicer.

The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.03, 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 related Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided herein), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, and (iv) subject to Section 3.09, to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer shall take no action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor or the Trustee under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Trust, the Depositor or the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust, the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by any or all of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer.

In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of this Section 3.01, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 5.04, and further as provided in Section 5.02. All costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Scheduled Principal Balance under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

Section 3.02

Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.02, when any property subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.02(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.02(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.02(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption that the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing.

(b)

Subject to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.02(a), 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 related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment and any other term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with its servicing standards as then in effect. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Section 3.03

Subservicers.

The Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause a Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees of each Subservicer from its own funds, and a Subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee payable to the Servicer hereunder.

At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from its Protected Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 9.05, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of each Subservicer effective as of the date of termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of each Subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between such Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer including any obligation, duty or liability of either the Master Servicer or the Trustee to pay such Subservicer’s fees and expenses. For purposes of remittances to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a Subservicer has received such payment.

Section 3.04

Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the 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 Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or that otherwise are collected by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any such Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer or the Distribution Account or in any 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 set off against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 3.05

Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance on buildings upon, or comprising part of, the Mortgaged Property against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located with an insurer which is licensed to do business in the state where the related Mortgaged Property is located. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. The Servicer shall also cause flood insurance to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, to the extent described below. Pursuant to Section 5.01, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 5.02. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the Scheduled Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.05, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.05, and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Such deposit shall be from the Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement therefor. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.

Section 3.06

Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Servicer shall prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies relating to the Mortgage Loans and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such Insurance Policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Servicer in respect of such Insurance Policies shall be promptly deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 3.07

Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.

(a)

The Servicer shall not take any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), Primary Mortgage Insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the related Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder.

(b)

The Servicer agrees to present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies relating to the Mortgage Loans and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 5.01, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof.

Section 3.08

Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.

The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan which is not in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. No provision of this Section 3.08 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days prior written notice to the Master Servicer and the Trustee. The Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee within five business days of receipt of notice that such fidelity bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders must be named as loss payees on the fidelity bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.

Section 3.09

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses; Repurchases of Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a)

The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Protected Accounts maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.02). If the Servicer reasonably believes that Liquidation Proceeds with respect to any such Mortgage Loan would not be increased as a result of such foreclosure or other action, such Mortgage Loan will be charged-off and will become a Liquidated Loan. The Servicer will give notice of any such charge-off to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided that such costs and expenses shall be Servicing Advances and that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 5.02. If the Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed- in-lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to acquiring the related Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures.

With respect to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or the Trustee’s nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders). The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator a statement with respect to each such REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee and the Securities Administrator 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 Protected Account maintained by the Servicer no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as may be required.

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request more than 60 days prior to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (such opinion not to be an expense of the Trustee) 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 created hereby as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC created hereby 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). 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 created hereby to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.

The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any Mortgaged Properties acquired through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances, Servicing Advances and any management fee paid or to be paid with respect to the management of such Mortgaged Property, 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 the Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Protected Accounts maintained by the Servicer. To the extent the income received during a Prepayment Period is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be considered to be a partial Principal Prepayment for such Mortgage Loan for all purposes hereof.

The Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a related Mortgage Loan, net of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the related Protected Account maintained by the Servicer on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date, except that any Excess Liquidation Proceeds shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of related Liquidation Proceeds or any income from a related REO Property, shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees, pursuant to Section 5.02 or this Section 3.09; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 5.02 or this Section 3.09; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.

(b)

On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine, the respective aggregate amounts of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses, if any, for the related Prepayment Period.

(c)

The Servicer has no intent to foreclose on any Mortgage Loan based on the delinquency characteristics as of the Closing Date; provided, that the foregoing does not prevent the Servicer from initiating foreclosure proceedings on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such Mortgage Loans including delinquency characteristics in the Servicer’s discretion so warrant such action.

Section 3.10

Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Initial Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from its Protected Accounts out of each payment of interest on a Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to the Servicing Fee.

As compensation for its activities hereunder, any successor servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from its Protected Accounts out of each payment of interest on a Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to the Minimum Servicing Fee.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of any Excess Liquidation Proceeds, assumption fees, late payment charges, all income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments with respect to funds in or credited to the Protected Accounts maintained by the Servicer shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Protected Accounts maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.02. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.05 and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by Section 3.07) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Section 5.02.

Section 3.11

REO Property.

(a)

In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related Certificateholders. The Servicer shall sell any such REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall protect and conserve such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required herein, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.

(b)

The Servicer shall deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in respect of any Mortgage Loan into the Protected Accounts maintained by the Servicer.

(c)

The Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property in respect of any Mortgage Loan, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances, unreimbursed Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Fees as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

Section 3.12

Liquidation Reports.

Upon the foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan or the acquisition thereof by the Trust Fund pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit a liquidation report to the Master Servicer containing such information as shall be mutually acceptable to the Servicer and the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

Section 3.13

Books and Records.

The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer’s computer system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Trust. In particular, the Servicer shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and shall deliver to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including, but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Servicer complies with the requirements of Accepted Servicing Practices.

The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by the Securities Administrator and the Trustee the related servicing file during the time such Mortgage Loan is subject to this Agreement and thereafter in accordance with applicable law.

Payments on the Mortgage Loans, including any payoffs, made in accordance with the related Mortgage File will be entered in the Servicer’s set of books and records no more than two business days after receipt and identification, and allocated to principal or interest as specified in the related Mortgage File.

ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING OF
MORTGAGE LOANS BY MASTER SERVICER

Section 4.01

Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall, beginning on the Closing Date, supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Person under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 6.06 and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents in form reasonably acceptable to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property.

The Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf and the Servicer shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf or the Servicer regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Servicer; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, neither the Trustee, the Custodian nor the Servicer shall be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee, the Custodian and the Servicer shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the Servicer’s actual costs.

The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer and the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.

Section 4.02

REMIC-Related Covenants.

For as long as each REMIC created hereunder shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Sponsor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.

Section 4.03

Monitoring of Servicer.

(a)

The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Sponsor the non-compliance by the Servicer with its duties under this Agreement. In the review of the Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Person’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with this Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Sponsor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.

(b)

The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Person thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to cause the Trustee to enter into a new servicing agreement with a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there shall be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the provisions of this Agreement and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right of reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c)

To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of the Servicer, appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Person and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.

(d)

The Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(e)

If the Master Servicer acts as a servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.

Section 4.04

Fidelity Bond.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.

Section 4.05

Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article XI hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (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, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 4.03, shall not authorize the Servicer) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC created hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause any REMIC created hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC created hereby. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) empowering the Master Servicer, the Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

Section 4.06

Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

To the extent provided in this Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with this Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with this Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.07

Release of Mortgage Files.

(a)

Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will (or if the Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (or as otherwise provided in the Custodial Agreement) signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Article V have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse, representation or warranty) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.

(b)

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with this Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of the Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit G (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by such Person no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.

Section 4.08

Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer and Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.

(a)

The Master Servicer shall transmit and the Servicer (to the extent required by this Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of such Person from time to time as are required by the terms hereof. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Securities Administrator’s right to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account, the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of the Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Servicer shall provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.

(b)

All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 4.09

Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.

(a)

For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in this Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.

(b)

Pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.04 any amounts collected by the Servicer or the Master Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with this Agreement) shall be deposited by the Servicer in its Protected Account or by the Servicer or the Master Servicer into the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 5.02, 5.04, 5.05 and 5.09, as applicable. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or the Servicer pursuant to Sections 5.02, 5.04, 5.05 and 5.09, as applicable.

Section 4.10

Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.

The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in this Agreement ) cause the Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).

Section 4.11

Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.

(a)

The Master Servicer shall not take, or authorize the Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under this Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under this Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan (including any LPMI Policy) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not authorize the Servicer (to the extent required under this Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)

The Master Servicer agrees to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under this Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections 5.01, 5.05 and 5.09, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited by the Servicer in its Protected Account or by the Securities Administrator in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.02 or 5.09, as applicable.

Section 4.12

Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.

The Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall retain possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or its Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee) shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

Section 4.13

Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer (to the extent required under this Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.14

Compensation for the Master Servicer.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to (i) the Master Servicing Fee and (ii) all income and gain realized from any investment of funds on Permitted Investments in the Distribution Account as compensation for the performance of its obligations hereunder (“Master Servicing Compensation”). The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

Section 4.15

REO Property.

(a)

In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in this Agreement, cause the Servicer to sell, any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to such efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by this Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by this Agreement, cause the Servicer to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Protected Account.

(c)

The Master Servicer and the Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed Monthly Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

(d)

To the extent provided in this Agreement, the Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in the Protected Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the related Distribution Account on the next succeeding Remittance Date.

Section 4.16

The Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, not later than March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of each such party during the preceding calendar year and of its performance 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 party has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of the cure provisions thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its use. In the event that certain servicing responsibilities with respect to any Mortgage Loan have been delegated by the Servicer or the Master Servicer to a Subservicer or Subcontractor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cause such Subservicer or Subcontractor to deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by such Subservicer or Subcontractor to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator as described above as and when required with respect to the Master Servicer or the Servicer (as the case may be).

Failure of the Servicer to comply with this Section 4.16 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall be deemed a Servicer Default, and the Master Servicer at the direction of the Depositor shall, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same (other than the rights of SunTrust to receive the Excess Servicing Fee). Failure of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 4.16 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall be deemed an Event of Default, and at the direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same. Failure of the Securities Administrator to comply with this Section 4.16 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall be deemed a default and the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Securities Administrator under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Securities Administrator for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Section 4.17

Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.

Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator (to the extent set forth in this Section) (each, an “Attesting Party”) shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor on or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, a report regarding such Attesting Party’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB, must contain the following:

(a)

A statement by an authorized officer of such Attesting Party of its authority and responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;

(b)

A statement by an authorized officer that such Attesting Party used the Servicing Criteria attached as Exhibit N hereto, and which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;

(c)

An assessment by such officer of the related Attesting Party’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the related Attesting Party, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;

(d)

A statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the related Attesting Party’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year; and

(e)

A statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the related Attesting Party, which statement shall be based on the activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving such Attesting Party, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.

Such report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to the related Attesting Party.

On or before March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, each Attesting Party shall furnish to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the related Attesting Party, as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Servicer Accounting Oversight Board.

Each Attesting Party shall cause any Subservicer engaged by it, and if determined by such Attesting Party to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, any Subcontractor engaged by it, to deliver to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided above along with an indication of what Servicing Criteria are addressed in such assessment. Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any Subservicer or Subcontractor, shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to any “primary servicer” to the extent such Subservicer or Subcontractor is performing any servicing function for the party who engages it and to the extent such party is not itself addressing the Servicing Criteria related to such servicing function in its own Assessment of Compliance. The Securities Administrator shall confirm that each of the Assessments of Compliance delivered to it, taken as a whole, address all of the Servicing Criteria and taken individually address the Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth in Exhibit N and notify the Depositor of any exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any Subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.

The Securities Administrator shall deliver to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit N hereto which are indicated as applicable to a “securities administrator.”

Failure of the Servicer to comply with this Section 4.17 and Section 5.03(b), (c), (d) and (e) (including with respect to the timeframes required herein and therein) shall be deemed a Servicer Default, and the Master Servicer shall, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. Failure of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 4.17 (including with respect to the timeframes required herein) shall, upon written notice from the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor, constitute an Event of Default, and at the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same (but subject to the Master Servicer’s rights to payment of any Master Servicing compensation and reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). Failure of the Securities Administrator to comply with this Section 4.17 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall, upon written notice from the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor, constitute a default and the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Securities Administrator under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Securities Administrator for the same (but subject to the Securities Administrator’s right to reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

Section 4.18

Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.

(a)

(i) (A) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards, prepare and file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”), a Distribution Report on Form 10-D, signed by the Master Servicer, with a copy of the Monthly Statement to be furnished by the Securities Administrator to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date and detailing all data elements specified in Item 1121(a) of Regulation AB; provided that, the Securities Administrator shall have received no later than five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution Date, all information required to be provided to the Securities Administrator as described in clause (a)(iv) below. Any disclosure that is in addition to the Monthly Statement and that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be, pursuant to the paragraph immediately below, reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit O to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor and approved by the Depositor, and the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the Securities Administrator is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit O) and approval.

(B)

Within five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) the parties set forth in Exhibit O shall be required to provide, pursuant to Section 4.18(a)(iv) below, to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and the Depositor and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this Section.

(C)

After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (in the case of any Additional 10-D Disclosure and otherwise if requested by the Depositor) and the Master Servicer for review. Within two Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date provided that, the Securities Administrator forwards a copy of the Form 10-D no later than the 10th calendar after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-D. No later than the 13th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, a duly authorized officer of the Master Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D and, in the case where the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are not affiliated, return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.18(a)(vi). Promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator shall make available on its internet website identified in Section 6.06 a final executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Securities Administrator. The signing party at the Master Servicer can be contacted as set forth in Section 12.05.

Section 4.22

Special Servicing.

Subject to the following conditions, the initial Servicer may appoint a special servicer to service any Mortgage Loan that as of the first day of a Fiscal Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property (a “Distressed Mortgage Loan”). The appointment of a special servicer by the initial Servicer and the execution of a special servicing agreement with the special servicer shall be subject to the consent the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee and the receipt of confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the transfer of servicing to the special servicer shall not result in a reduction of the then-current rating previously given by such Rating Agency to any Certificate. Any monthly fee paid to the special servicer in connection with any Mortgage Loan serviced by such special servicer shall not exceed one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Minimum Servicing Fee Rate and (b) the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan. The special servicing agreement shall provide that the special servicer shall undertake all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement in respect of any Distressed Mortgage Loans serviced by the special servicer, including in particular, all advancing obligations and all Exchange Act reporting obligations of the Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans.

All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with a transfer of servicing to the special servicer including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any other Person in appointing a special servicer, or of transferring the servicing files and the other necessary data to the special servicer, shall be paid by the Servicer from its own funds without reimbursement. The Servicer shall be responsible for the delivery of all required transfer notices and will send a copy of the transfer notice to the Master Servicer. In addition, the Servicer shall provide or cause any special servicer to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor any information or data as may be necessary for the Securities Administrator to prepare and file any Exchange Act Reports as may be required under Regulation AB or otherwise to reflect the appointment of the special servicer.

ARTICLE V
ACCOUNTS

Section 5.01

Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Protected Account.

(a)

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states in which the Mortgaged Properties related to the Mortgage Loans are located to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note related to a Mortgage Loan for a period not greater than 125 days. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with Section 6.01. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law. In addition, if (x) a Mortgage Loan is in default or default is imminent within the meaning of the REMIC provisions or (y) the Servicer delivers to the Trustee a certification addressed to the Trustee, based on the advice of counsel or certified public accountants, in either case, that have a national reputation with respect to taxation of REMICs, that a modification of such Mortgage Loan will not result in the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status of any REMIC created hereby, the Servicer may amend the terms of the related Mortgage Note so long as the maturity date is not extended beyond the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of Section 3.01, the Servicer shall not waive (or permit a sub-servicer to waive) any Prepayment Charge related to a Mortgage Loan unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan. If a Prepayment Charge is waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge by remitting such amount to the Securities Administrator by the Remittance Date.

(b)

The Servicer shall establish and maintain a Protected Account (which shall at all times be an Eligible Account) with a depository institution in the name of the Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and designated “HSBC Bank USA, National Association, in trust for registered holders of SunTrust Alternative Loan Trust 2006-1F, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-1F.” The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Protected Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt and identification, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:

(i)

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

(ii)

all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans net of the related Servicing Fee permitted under Section 3.10 and LPMI Fees, if any;

(iii)

all Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Mortgage Loans, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures;

(iv)

any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.01(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;

(v)

any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05;

(vi)

any Prepayment Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans; and

(vii)

any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.

The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer into the Protected Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.02, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Protected Account, to withdraw such amount from the Protected Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the institution maintaining the Protected Account, that describes the amounts deposited in error in the Protected Account. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. Reconciliations will be prepared for the Protected Account within 45 calendar days after the bank statement cut-off date. All items requiring reconciliation will be resolved within 90 calendar days of their original identification. All funds deposited in the Protected Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.02.

(c)

The institution that maintains the Protected Account shall invest the funds in the Protected Account, in the manner directed by the Servicer, in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than the Remittance Date and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in the Protected Account in respect of any such investments shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Protected Account, out of the Servicer’s own funds.

(d)

The Servicer shall give at least 30 days advance notice to the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of location of the Protected Account prior to any change thereof.

Section 5.02

Permitted Withdrawals From the Protected Account.

(a)

The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Protected Account for the following purposes:

(i)

to pay itself (to the extent not previously paid to or withheld by the Servicer), as servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.10, that portion of any payment of interest that equals the Servicing Fee for the period with respect to which such interest payment was made, and, as additional servicing compensation, those other amounts set forth in Section 3.10;

(ii)

to reimburse the Servicer for Advances made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the Servicer’s right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) shall be limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries) that represent late recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest on such particular Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made;

(iii)

to reimburse the Servicer for any previously made portion of a Servicing Advance or a Monthly Advance made by the Servicer that, in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, will not be ultimately recoverable by it from the related Mortgagor, any related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise (a “Nonrecoverable Advance”), to the extent not reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (v);

(iv)

to reimburse the Servicer from Insurance Proceeds for Insured Expenses covered by the related Insurance Policy;

(v)

to pay the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees and to reimburse it for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, provided, however, that the Servicer’s right to reimbursement for Servicing Advances pursuant to this subclause (v) with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and purchase proceeds and Repurchase Proceeds) that represent late recoveries of the payments for which such Servicing Advances were made;

(vi)

to pay to the Sponsor, the Depositor or itself, as applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 4.20 of this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not taken into account in determining the related Scheduled Principal Balance of such repurchased Mortgage Loan;

(vii)

to pay any expenses recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.04 of this Agreement;

(viii)

to withdraw pursuant to Section 5.01 any amount deposited in the Protected Account and not required to be deposited therein; and

(ix)

to clear and terminate the Protected Account upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof.

In addition, no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from the Protected Accounts and remit to the Securities Administrator the amount required to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof. With respect to any remittance received by the Securities Administrator from the Servicer after the date on which such remittance was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Securities Administrator interest on any such late remittance at an annual rate equal to the prime rate announced to be in effect from time to time as published as the average rate in The Wall Street Journal (Northeast Edition), plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Servicer’s Protected Account by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the date on which such remittance was due and ending with the Business Day on which such remittance is made, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default with respect to the Servicer.

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

Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.

Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and Section 3.05 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors for any Mortgage Loans any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to such Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01 thereof. The Escrow Account shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE VI
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES

Section 6.01

Monthly Advances.

(a)

The Servicer shall make a Monthly Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan and remit such Monthly Advance to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Remittance Date in immediately available funds. The Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Monthly Advance only to the extent that such Monthly Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that a proposed Monthly Advance or a lesser portion of such Monthly Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders funds constituting the remaining portion of such Monthly Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination. Subject to the Master Servicer’s recoverability determination, in the event that the Servicer fails to make a required Monthly Advance, the Master Servicer, as successor servicer, shall be required to remit the amount of such Monthly Advance to the Distribution Account. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required Monthly Advance, the Trustee, as successor master servicer shall, subject to Section 9.02 be required to remit the amount of such Monthly Advance to the Distribution Account.

In lieu of making all or a portion of such Monthly Advance from its own funds, the Servicer may (i) cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Protected Account that any Amounts Held for Future Distribution has been used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Monthly Advance and (ii) transfer such funds from the Protected Account to the Distribution Account. Any funds so applied and transferred shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Distribution Account, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which such funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement.

The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Protected Account for all Monthly Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 5.02. The obligation to make Monthly Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until such Mortgage Loan is paid in full or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.01.

(b)

If the Servicer was required to make a Monthly Advance pursuant to this Agreement and fails to make any required Monthly Advance, the Master Servicer, as successor servicer, or other successor servicer appointed by it, will remit to the Securities Administrator, who in turn will deposit in the Distribution Account, not later than the Business Date prior to the Distribution Date an amount equal to such Monthly Advance, net of the Servicing Fee and the Master Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Monthly Advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or future payments on the Mortgage Loan for which such Monthly Advance was made. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such Monthly Advances through the date that the Servicer is required to do so under this Agreement. If applicable, on the related Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make a Monthly Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the Monthly Advance to be nonrecoverable.

Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof, in the event the Master Servicer fails to make such Monthly Advance, then the Trustee, as Successor Master Servicer, shall be obligated to make such Monthly Advance, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

Section 6.02

Compensating Interest Payments.

(a)

In the event that there is a Prepayment Interest Shortfall arising from a voluntary Principal Prepayment in part or in full by the Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, to the extent of the Compensating Interest Limit for such Distribution Date, deposit into the Distribution Account, as a reduction of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, no later than the close of business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and in case of such deposit, the Servicer shall not be entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders.

(b)

The Master Servicer shall be required to remit the amount of any such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls required to be paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.02(a), to the extent of the Master Servicing Compensation for such Distribution Date, in the event the Servicer fails to do so.

Section 6.03

REMIC Distributions.

On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator, as agent for the Trustee, shall be deemed to make distributions to the REMIC Regular Interests as set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereof.

Section 6.04

Distributions.

(a)

On each Distribution Date, the Pool Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date shall be withdrawn by the Securities Administrator to the extent of such Pool Distribution Amount on deposit in the Distribution Account and distributed as directed in accordance with the Monthly Statement for such Distribution Date, in the following order of priority:

(b)

(A)

On each Distribution Date, the Pool Distribution Amount shall be distributed as follows:

(1)

pro rata, to each Class of Senior Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest for each such Class for such Distribution Date, subject to reduction in the event of certain Net Interest Shortfalls allocable thereto described below;

(2)

pro rata, to each Class of Senior Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest for each such Class remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, in each case to the extent of the remaining Pool Distribution Amount;

(3)

to the Classes of Senior Certificates entitled to receive distributions of principal, based on the applicable Subgroup Senior Principal Distribution Amount, in each case in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero in accordance with the priorities described in clause (c) below;

(4)

to the Class PO Certificates, to pay any applicable Class PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount for such distribution date to the extent of the remaining Pool Distribution Amount, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

(5)

to the Class PO Certificates, the applicable Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount; provided that, (i) on any Distribution Date, distributions pursuant to this priority (5) shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (x) Pool Distribution Amount remaining after giving effect to distributions pursuant to priorities (1) through (4) above over (y) the sum of the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date and Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates on all Classes of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, (ii) such distributions shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class PO Certificates and (iii) no distribution shall be made in respect of any Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount on or after the Credit Support Depletion Date.

(B)

Except as described in paragraphs (C) and (D) below, on each Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date, an amount equal to the remaining Pool Distribution Amount after the distributions in clause (A) above shall be distributed sequentially in the following order, to the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the following order: (a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date, (b) any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates and (c) such Class’s Allocable Share for such Distribution Date, in each case, to the extent of the remaining Pool Distribution Amount.

(C)

On each Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date, but after the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of all of the Senior Certificates related to a Subgroup to zero, the remaining Class or Classes of Senior Certificates in the other Subgroups (other than the Class III-S, Class X and Class PO Certificates) shall be entitled to receive in reduction of their Certificate Principal Balances, pro rata based upon their Certificate Principal Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date, in addition to any Principal Prepayments related to such remaining Senior Certificates’ respective Subgroup allocated to such Senior Certificates, 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any Mortgage Loan in the Subgroup or Subgroups relating to the fully repaid Class or Classes of Senior Certificates; provided, however, if (i) the weighted average of the Subgroup Subordinate Percentages on such Distribution Date equals or exceeds two times the initial weighted average of the Subgroup Subordinate Percentages or (ii) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and bankruptcy and Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired by the Trust), averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the related Group Subordinate Amount does not equal or exceed 50%, then the additional allocation of Principal Prepayments to the Subgroup I Certificates, Subgroup II Certificates or Subgroup III Certificates in accordance with this paragraph (C) shall not be made and 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any Mortgage Loan relating to the fully repaid Class or Classes of Senior Certificates shall be allocated to the Subordinate Certificates.

(D)

If on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Subgroup I Certificates, Subgroup II Certificates and Subgroup III Certificates would be greater than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in its related Subgroup and any Subordinate Certificates are still outstanding, in each case, after giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, (i) 100% of amounts otherwise allocable to the Subordinate Certificates in respect of principal shall be distributed to the Subgroup I Certificates, Subgroup II Certificates and Subgroup III Certificates (other than the Class III-S, Class X and Class PO Certificates), pro rata, based upon their Certificate Principal Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances thereof, until the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Subgroup I Certificates, Subgroup II Certificates and Subgroup III Certificates, as applicable, is equal to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in its related Subgroup, and (ii) the Accrued Certificate Interest otherwise allocable to the Subordinate Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be reduced, if necessary, and distributed to such Class or Classes of Senior Certificates in an amount equal to the Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date on the excess of (x) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Subgroup I Certificates, Subgroup II Certificates and Subgroup III Certificates (other than the Class III-S, Class X Certificates and Class PO Certificates), as applicable, over (y) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Subgroup. Any such reduction in the Accrued Certificate Interest on the Subordinate Certificates shall be allocated in reverse order of the Subordinate Certificates’ numerical designations, commencing with the Class B-6 Certificates.

(E)

If, after distributions have been made pursuant to priorities (1) and (2) of clause (A) above on any Distribution Date, the remaining Pool Distribution Amount related to Subgroup I is less than the sum of the Subgroup I Principal Distribution Amount and the Class PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount, or the remaining Pool Distribution Amount related to Subgroup II is less than the Subgroup II Principal Distribution Amount, or the remaining Pool Distribution Amount related to Subgroup III is less than the Subgroup III Principal Distribution Amount, such amounts shall be reduced, and such remaining funds shall be distributed to the related Senior Certificates on the basis of such reduced amounts. Notwithstanding any reduction in principal distributable to the Class PO Certificates pursuant to this paragraph, the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class PO Certificates shall be reduced not only by principal so distributed but also by the difference between (i) principal distributable to the Class PO Certificates in accordance with priority (4) of clause (A) above, and (ii) principal actually distributed to the Class PO Certificates after giving effect to this paragraph (such difference for the Class PO Certificates, the “Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfall”). The Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date shall be added to the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount.

(F)

On or after the occurrence of the Credit Support Depletion Date, all priorities relating to distributions as described above in respect of principal among the various Classes of Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates) shall be disregarded, and the aggregate amount of any Subgroup Senior Principal Distribution Amounts shall be distributed to such Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates) pro rata in accordance with their respective outstanding Certificate Principal Balances and an amount equal to the Class PO Certificate Principal Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Class PO Certificates.

(G)

On each Distribution Date, any Pool Distribution Amount remaining after payment of interest and principal to the Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, in each case as described above, shall be distributed to the Class A-R Certificates; provided that, if on any Distribution Date there is any Pool Distribution Amount remaining after payment of interest and principal to a Class or Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, such amounts shall be distributed to the other Classes of Senior Certificates, pro rata, based upon their Certificate Principal Balances, until all amounts due to all classes of Senior Certificates have been paid in full, before any amounts are distributed to the Class A-R Certificates.

(c)

Distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class III-S and Class X Certificates) shall be made on each Distribution Date pursuant to priorities (3), (4) and (5) above of clause (A) above. In accordance with such priority (3), the related Pool Distribution Amount remaining after the distribution of interest on the related Senior Certificates shall be allocated to such Certificates in an aggregate amount as follows:

(A)

On each distribution date, an amount, up to the amount of the Subgroup I Principal Distribution Amount for that distribution date, shall be distributed as principal, in the following order of priority:

(1)

to the Class A-R Certificate, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(2)

to the Class I-A-1 Certificates, the Lockout Priority Amount for such Distribution Date, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(3)

to the Class I-A-2 Certificates, the lesser of (i) $1,000 and (ii) the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(4)

to the Class I-A-3 Certificates, the lesser of (i) $500,000 and (ii) the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(5)

to the Class I-A-2 Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(6)

to the Class I-A-3 Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;

(7)

to the Class I-A-4 Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and

(8)

to the Class I-A-1 Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof (without regard to the Lockout Priority Amount for such Distribution Date), until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

(B)

On each Distribution Date, an amount, up to the amount of the Subgroup II Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, shall be distributed as principal, to the Class II-A Certificates, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

(C)

On each Distribution Date, an amount, up to the amount of the Subgroup III Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, shall be distributed to the Class III-A Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

For purposes of all principal distributions described above with respect to the Certificates and for calculating the applicable Subgroup Senior Principal Distribution Amount, Subgroup Senior Percentage and Subgroup Senior Prepayment Percentage, the applicable Certificate Principal Balance for any Distribution Date shall be determined before the allocation of losses on the Mortgage Loans to be made on such Distribution Date.

(d)

Distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of the Subordinate Certificates shall be made pursuant to priority (c) of clause (B) under paragraph (a) above. In accordance with such priority, the Pool Distribution Amount, if any, remaining after distributions of principal and interest on the Class or Classes of related Senior Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be allocated to the Subordinate Certificates in an amount equal to each such Class’s Allocable Share for such Distribution Date, provided that no distribution of principal shall be made on any such Class until all Classes ranking prior thereto have received distributions of interest and principal, and such Class has received distributions of interest, on such Distribution Date.

For purposes of all principal distributions described above and for calculating the applicable Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount, Subgroup Subordinate Percentage and Subordinate Prepayment Percentage, the applicable Certificate Principal Balance for any Distribution Date shall be determined before the allocation of losses on the Mortgage Loans to be made on such Distribution Date.

(e)

Subject to Section 11.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either 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 Securities Administrator at least 5 Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold Regular Certificates with aggregate principal denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or evidencing a Percentage Interest aggregating 10% or more with respect to such Class or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 11.02 hereof respecting the final distribution, distributions with respect to Certificates registered in the name of a Depository shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds.

(f)

Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver a report to the Securities Administrator in the form of a computer readable magnetic tape (or by such other means as the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator may agree from time to time) containing such data and information, as agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator such as to permit the Securities Administrator to prepare the Monthly Statement to Certificateholders and to direct the Securities Administrator in writing to make the required distributions for the related Distribution Date (the “Remittance Report”).

Section 6.05

Allocation of Realized Losses.

(a)

On or prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect of each related Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately preceding calendar month.

(b)

On each Distribution Date, the related PO Percentage of the principal portion of any Realized Loss on a Discount Mortgage Loan and any Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfall shall be allocated to the Class PO Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class PO Certificates is reduced to zero. With respect to any Distribution Date through the Credit Support Depletion Date, the aggregate of all amounts so allocable to the Class PO Certificates on such date in respect of any Realized Losses and any Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and all amounts previously allocated in respect of such Realized Losses or Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and not distributed on prior Distribution Dates shall be the “Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount.” To the extent funds are available therefor on any Distribution Date through the Credit Support Depletion Date, distributions in respect of the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount for the Class PO Certificates shall be made in accordance with priority (5) of clause (A) in Section 6.04(a) above. No interest shall accrue on the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount. On each Distribution Date through the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Certificate Principal Balance of the lowest ranking Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding shall be reduced by the amount of any distributions in respect of any Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount on such Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth above, through the operation of the Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. After the Credit Support Depletion Date, no more distributions shall be made in respect of, and applicable Realized Losses and Class PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls allocable to the Class PO Certificates shall not be added to, the Class PO Certificate Deferred Amount.

(c)

The related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Excess Losses) on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on any Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class B-5 Certificates; third, to the Class B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class B-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class B-1 Certificates, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero. Thereafter, the principal portion of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on any Distribution Date to the outstanding Class or Classes of Senior Certificates (other than the Class III-S and Class X Certificates), pro rata, based upon their respective Certificate Principal Balances. The applicable Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of any Excess Loss with respect to Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among all outstanding classes of Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO, Class III-S and Class X Certificates) based on their Certificate Principal Balances..

(d)

No reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificate (other than the Class III-S Certificates and Class X Certificates) shall be made on any Distribution Date on account of Realized Losses to the extent that such reduction would have the effect of reducing the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all of the Classes of such Certificates (other than the Class III-S Certificates and Class X Certificates) as of such Distribution Date to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date (the “Loss Allocation Limit.”).

(e)

All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all related Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date.

(f)

All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.

(g)

In addition, in the event that the Servicer receives any Subsequent Recoveries, the Servicer shall deposit such funds into the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.08. If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the related Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to this Section 6.05. Holders of Certificates shall not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of increases described herein for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each related Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.

Section 6.06

(2)

The Class PO and Class A-R Certificates are not entitled to distributions in respect of interest.

(3)

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

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

Section 7.02

Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)

The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 hereof, 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and of like 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 Securities Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates that 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 Securities Administrator 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 destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator’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 the Securities Act and such state securities laws. 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 Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit D (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit E (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit F (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee. 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 Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Certificate that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No Transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made unless either (i) the Securities Administrator shall have received a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA and/or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of any such plan, 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 subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan, the Securities Administrator shall have received an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and on which they may rely, satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not result in any prohibited transactions under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator, or, in the case of an ERISA Restricted Certificate other than the Class R Certificate, the transferee provides a representation, or deemed representation in the case of the Global Certificate, that such transferee is an insurance company, such transferee is purchasing such ERISA Restricted Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of the Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60. 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 and/or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel as described above shall be void and of no effect; provided that the restriction set forth in this sentence shall not be applicable if there has been delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel meeting the requirements of clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall have any liability for transfers of any such Book-Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of any Depository or between or among participants of the Depository or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 7.02(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. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall each be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a Person acting on behalf of any such plan at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became such a plan or Person acting on behalf of such a plan, all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a plan or Person acting on behalf of a plan.

(c)

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

(i)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator 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 C.

(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 7.02(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 7.02(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. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 7.02(b) and this Section 7.02(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. The Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.

(v)

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Securities Administrator and furnished to the Securities Administrator, 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 that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

(iv)

No restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class; provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.

In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 7.03, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Securities Administrator under the terms of this Section 7.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.

The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 7.06

Book-Entry Certificates.

The Certificates (other than the Class A-R Certificates), upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Depositor. Such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner of such Certificates will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section 7.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates pursuant to Section 7.08:

(a)

the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(b)

the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates;

(c)

registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository;

(d)

the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Owners of such Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 7.08, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Depository Participants;

(e)

the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;

(f)

the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants; and

For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of such Class of Certificates.

The Class A-R Certificates shall initially be held in fully registered certificated form. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates of one or more such Classes request that the Trustee cause such Class to become Global Certificates, the Depositor (with the assistance of the Trustee) will take such action as may be reasonably required to cause the Depository to accept such Class or Classes for trading if it may legally be so traded. If at anytime there are to be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered to the Depository by the Depositor or deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depository.

All transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. 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.

Section 7.08

Definitive Certificates.

If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any Certificates, (a) the Depositor or the Depository advises the Securities Administrator that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such Certificates and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor, at its sole option, advises the Securities Administrator that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates having not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by any Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Securities Administrator and the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to Certificates of such Class through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of such Class, then the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to applicable Certificate Owners requesting the same. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall countersign and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such 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 Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

Section 7.09

Maintenance of Office or Agency.

any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement or any breach of a representation or warranty by the Master Servicer, which failure or breach shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

(v)

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

the Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 8.05 or 8.07; or

The Master Servicer fails to deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Distribution Account any Advance required to be made by the Master Servicer (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by noon New York City time on the Distribution Date.

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, and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee, or any successor appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 (a “Successor Master Servicer” and, if applicable, “Successor Securities Administrator”). Such Successor Master Servicer shall thereupon if such Successor Master Servicer is a successor to the Master Servicer, make any Advance required by Article VI, subject, in the case of the Trustee, to Section 9.02. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Master Servicer and, if applicable, the terminated Securities Administrator, as attorney- in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of any Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII or Article X. The Master Servicer and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the applicable Successor Master Servicer of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Distribution Account maintained pursuant to Section 5.08, or thereafter be received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of an Event of Default known to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice terminating the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 5.05 and to receive any other amounts payable to the Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 9.01 shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 8.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (vii) of this Section 9.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.

Section 9.02

Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof the Trustee shall automatically become the successor to the Master Servicer with respect to the transactions set forth or provided for herein and after a transition period (not to exceed 90 days), shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however that, pursuant to Article VI hereof, the Trustee in its capacity as successor Master Servicer shall be responsible for making any Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer immediately upon the termination of the Master Servicer and any such Advance shall be made on the Distribution Date on which such Advance was required to be made by the predecessor Master Servicer. Effective on the date of such notice of termination, as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnifications that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for any acts or omissions of the Master Servicer, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so under applicable law or if such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, (iii) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (iv) obligated to deposit losses on any Permitted Investment directed by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 Article VI or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer (or the Securities Administrator, if applicable) hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer (or the Securities Administrator, if applicable) hereunder. Any Successor Master Servicer shall (i) be an institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and (ii) be willing to act as successor servicer of any Mortgage Loans under this Agreement with respect to which the Servicer has been terminated as servicer, and shall have executed and delivered to the Depositor, the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than any liabilities of the Master Servicer hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 9.01 or as otherwise set forth herein), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement, provided that each Rating Agency shall have acknowledged in writing that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. If the Trustee assumes the duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 9.02, the Trustee shall not resign as Master Servicer until a Successor Master Servicer has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 4.04 hereof, 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 Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation unless agreed to by the Certificateholders shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. 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 Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

The costs and expenses of the Trustee in connection with the termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a Successor Master Servicer and, if applicable, any transfer of servicing, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or the Successor Master Servicer to service the related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, to the extent not paid by the terminated Master Servicer, shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.05. Any successor to the Master Servicer as successor servicer under any Subservicing Agreement shall give notice to the applicable Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as successor servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 4.04.

Section 9.03

Notification to Certificateholders and Rating Agencies.

(a)

Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 9.04

Waiver of Defaults.

The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made of any required distribution on the Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.05

Servicer Default.

In case one or more of the following events of default by the Servicer (each, a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i)

any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer any payment including any Advance required to be made under the terms of this Agreement on any Remittance Date; or

(ii)

failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements (other than Sections 3.13 or 3.14) on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, the breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied for a period of sixty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Master Servicer; or

(iii)

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, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days; or

(iv)

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

(v)

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

(vi)

the Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation (other than any Excess Servicing Fee) hereunder or the Servicer attempts to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein; or

(vii)

the Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

(viii)

failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 4.16, 4.17 or 4.18.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders may have under Section 8.03 and at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer. Upon written request from the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in the Master Servicer’s possession all Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the 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 the Servicer to its Protected Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any related REO Property.

Section 9.06

Waiver of Servicer Defaults.

The Master Servicer, with the consent of the Trustee, may waive only by written notice any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.

(i)

Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of their respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii)

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

(iii)

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (or such other percentage as specifically set forth herein), if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, under this Agreement;

(iv)

The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof.

(vi)

The Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held in the name of Trustee unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment that the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency (except to the extent that the Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);

(vii)

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and

None of the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render them partners, joint venturers or agents of one another.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Servicer hereunder.

Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

(iv)

Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual capacity 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;

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Securities Administrator on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan except as expressly provided in Sections 2.02 and 2.06 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, of the obligation to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Agreement. The Securities Administrator’s signature and countersignature (or countersignature of its agent) on the Certificates shall be solely in its capacity as Securities Administrator and shall not constitute the Certificates an obligation of the Securities Administrator in any other capacity. Neither the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders, under this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement.

Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.

Section 10.05

The fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be paid in accordance with a side letter agreement with the Master Servicer and at the expense of the Master Servicer.

If funds in the Distribution Account are insufficient therefor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall recover such expenses, disbursements or advances from the Depositor and the Depositor hereby agrees to pay such expenses, disbursements or advances upon demand. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

Section 10.06

The Trustee and any successor Trustee and the Securities Administrator and any successor Securities Administrator shall during the entire duration of this Agreement be a state bank or trust company or a national banking 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 and undivided profits of at least $40,000,000 or, in the case of a successor Trustee, $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case of the Trustee, rated “BBB” or higher by Fitch, Inc. with respect to their long-term rating and rated “BBB” or higher by Standard & Poor’s and “Baa2” or higher by Moody’s with respect to any outstanding long-term unsecured unsubordinated debt, and, in the case of a successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator other than pursuant to Section 10.10, rated in one of the two highest long-term debt categories of, or otherwise acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Trustee shall not be an Affiliate of the Master Servicer. If the Trustee 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 10.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its total equity capital (combined capital and surplus) as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.06, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.08.

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign (including, in the case of the Securities Administrator, in connection with the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer) and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator (or the Trustee, if the Securities Administrator resigns) and the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning trustee or securities administrator, as applicable, and the successor trustee or securities administrator, as applicable. If no successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or securities administrator.

If at any time (i) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund is located, (B) the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee or securities administrator and (C) the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable fails to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in multiple copies, a copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, each Master Servicer and the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable.

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

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or securities administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.08 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or securities administrator as provided in Section 10.09 hereof.

Section 10.09

Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator.

Any successor trustee or securities administrator appointed as provided in Section 10.08 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or securities administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or securities administrator, 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 or securities administrator herein.

No successor trustee or securities administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 10.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or securities administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or securities administrator as provided in this Section 10.09, the successor trustee or securities administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee or securities administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the successor trustee or securities administrator fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment, the Depositor shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Trust Fund.

Section 10.10

Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities Administrator.

Any corporation, state bank or national banking association into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation, state bank or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation, state bank or national banking association succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or of the business of the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 10.11

Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee 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 10.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 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 10.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.09.

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)

All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether a Trustee hereunder or as a Successor Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust 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

(iii)

The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any 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 then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master 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 10.12

Tax Matters.

The Securities Administrator shall elect that each REMIC created hereby shall be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections. It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute one or more REMICs, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so that each REMIC formed hereunder qualifies as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent for so long as it is also Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Trustee and/or the Securities Administrator, as agent on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall do or refrain from doing, as applicable, the following: (a) the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Returns (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 such REMIC containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished, to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) the Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for each REMIC that is or becomes a taxable entity, and 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 for the Trust Fund; (c) the Securities Administrator shall make, or cause to be made, elections on behalf of each REMIC formed hereunder to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of such REMIC for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) the Securities Administrator shall 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) the Securities Administrator shall 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 Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Person that is not a 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) each of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall, to the extent under its control, conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC formed hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC formed hereunder; (h) the Securities Administrator shall pay, from the sources specified in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 10.12, the amount of any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any REMIC formed hereunder prior to the termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee, the Securities Administrator at the written request of the Trustee, or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) the Trustee shall sign or cause to be signed federal, state or local income tax or information returns or any other document prepared by the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section 10.12 requiring a signature thereon by the Trustee; (j) the Securities Administrator shall maintain records relating to each REMIC formed hereunder including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each such REMIC and adjusted basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; (k) the Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar year and on an accrual basis; (l) neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement not otherwise provided for in this Agreement by which the REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the REMICs 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; and (m) as and when necessary and appropriate, the Trustee, or at the written request of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, shall 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 any REMIC formed hereunder, 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 each REMIC formed hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving any such REMIC.

In order to enable each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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 related Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, request in order to enable the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies each of Trustee and the Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, on a timely basis.

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created hereby 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 any REMIC created hereby after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local tax or minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC created hereby, and is, in each case, attributable to the activities of any REMIC created hereby and not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid (i) by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, if any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) by any party hereto (other than the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the extent any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), first with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Class A-R Certificateholders, and second, with amounts otherwise to be distributed to all remaining Classes of Certificates, on a pro rata basis, based on the amounts to be distributed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the liability of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Article X shall not be joint and several and in no case shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator be liable for the other’s actions or omissions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that such tax is payable by the Holder of any Certificates, the Securities Administrator is hereby authorized to retain on any Distribution Date, from the Holders of the Class A-R Certificates (and, if necessary, from the Holders of the other related Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding sentence), funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay such tax. The Securities Administrator shall include in its Remittance Report instructions as to distributions to such parties taking into account the priorities described in the second preceding sentence. The Securities Administrator, on written request by the Trustee, agrees to promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator each agree that, in the event it should obtain any information necessary for the other party to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 10.12, it will promptly notify and provide such information to such other party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee agrees that, in the event that the Trustee obtains actual knowledge that the Securities Administrator has breached any of its obligations pursuant to this Section 10.12, the Trustee shall, upon written notice to the Securities Administrator, terminate the Securities Administrator and, at the direction of the Depositor, appoint a successor securities administrator.

In no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof and (ii) the related Latest Possible Maturity Date.

Section 11.02

Final Distribution on the Certificates.

If on any Determination Date, (i) the Master Servicer determines that there are no related Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust other than the funds in the Distribution Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Securities Administrator to send a final distribution notice promptly to each related Certificateholder or (ii) the Securities Administrator determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final distribution on such Class, the Securities Administrator shall notify the related Certificateholders within five (5) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Securities Administrator specified in the final distribution notice to related Certificateholders. If the Servicer or its designee, or the Master Servicer, as applicable, elects to terminate the Trust pursuant to Section 11.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the Certificateholders, the Servicer or its designee, or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee of the date the Servicer or its designee or the Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust. The Master Servicer shall remit the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Price to the Securities Administrator on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for such Optional Termination by the Servicer or its designee, or the Master Servicer, as applicable.

Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Distribution Date on which related Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to related Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and no later than the 15th day of the month immediately preceding the month of such final distribution.

In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all related funds to be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the related Certificates. Upon receipt of written notice of such final deposit with respect to the Trust and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee or the Custodian shall promptly release to the Master Servicer, as applicable the Mortgage Files for the related Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents prepared and delivered to it which are necessary to transfer any REO Property.

Upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to related Certificateholders of each Class in accordance with the Remittance Report the amounts allocable to such Certificates held in the Distribution Account in the order and priority set forth in Section 6.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 that remain a part of the Trust. If within one year after the second notice all related Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the related Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 12.01

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by parties hereto without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the expectations of investors), to change the manner in which the Distribution Account maintained by the Securities Administrator or the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer is maintained or to make such other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as shall not be inconsistent with any other provisions herein if such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders, the parties hereto may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of each REMIC created hereby, as a REMIC under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC created hereby pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against any REMIC created hereby at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee have been provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax.

This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto and the Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) cause any REMIC created hereby to cease to qualify as a REMIC or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates of each Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.

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 addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such amendment will not (other than an amendment pursuant to clause (ii) of, and in accordance with, the preceding paragraph) cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC created hereby or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC created hereby to cease to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee (i) that such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and (ii) that all requirements for amending this Agreement (including any consent of the applicable Certificateholders) have been complied with.

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

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

Section 12.02

Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Master Servicer shall effect such recordation at the Trust’s expense upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.

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

Section 12.03

Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).

Section 12.04

Intention of Parties.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor to the Depositor, and by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Sponsor to the Depositor, or by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Sponsor or the Depositor, as applicable, or if for any other reason the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement shall each be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement from the Sponsor to the Depositor, and the conveyance provided for in this Agreement from the Depositor to the Trustee, shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Sponsor or the Depositor, as applicable, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the assets of the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.

evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [_-[_]A-_][_-X-_][_-PO] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator referred to below or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.

This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional first lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. (“SunTrust”) to BSABS I. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), SunTrust Mortgage, Inc., as seller and company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

[For Class I-A-1, Class I-A-2, Class I-A-3, Class I-A-4, Class II-A, Class III-A and Class PO Certificates] [Interest on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs] [Interest on this Certificate will accrue on the one-month period commencing on the 25th day of the month prior to the month in which that Distribution Date occurs (or with respect to the first accrual period, May 25, 2006) and ending on the 24th day of the month in which that Distribution Date occurs] on the Certificate Principal Balance hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the [close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs] [the business day preceding the applicable Distribution Date so long as the Certificates remain in book-entry form; and otherwise, shall be the last business day of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs], an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month following the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.][The Class III-S and Class X Certificates have no Certificate Principal Balances.]

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. [The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable thereto.][The Initial Notional Amount of this Certificate is set forth above.]

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Certificate Insurers and the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. Any such consent by the Certificate Insurers and the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SunTrust or its designee will have the right to purchase all remaining Mortgage Loans and REO properties and thereby effect early retirement of all of the Certificates on any Distribution Date after the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, and properties acquired in respect thereof, remaining in the Trust has been reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In addition, if SunTrust or its designee does not exercise the option to purchase all of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund as described above, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund has been reduced to less than or equal to 1% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of beyond the expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the related Latest Possible Maturity Date.

Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this

The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.]

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated in such notice. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.

[For the Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates] [No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E and either F or G, as applicable, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.]

[For Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates] [By virtue of its acquisition, each beneficial owner of this Certificate or any interest herein, if its rating is below investment grade upon acquisition, shall be deemed to have represented that either (i) it is not an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Plan”), or investing with assets of a Plan or (ii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest herein is an “insurance company general account”, as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.]

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is not liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.

[For the Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates] [This Certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or represents that the proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the servicing, management and operation of the trust and its assets that such transferee is not acquiring such Certificate directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (collectively, a “Plan”), nor a person acting on behalf of any such Plan nor a person using the assets of, any such Plan unless if such transferee is an insurance company, such transferee is purchasing such Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of the Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and the purchase and holding of such Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, which will be deemed represented by an owner of a book-entry Certificate and will be evidenced by a representation by or on behalf of a holder of a Certificate which is not a book-entry Certificate. This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.]

No service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this

evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the CLASS [_]-R-[_] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate mortgage loans sold by BEAR STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC.

This certifies that __________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional first lien, fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family residences (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC (“BSABS I”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. (“SunTrust”) to BSABS I. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer,” which term includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among BSABS I, as depositor (the “Depositor”), SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. as seller and company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

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

Re:

SunTrust Alternative Loan Trust 2006-1F, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-1F (the “Certificates”), including the Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates (the “Privately Offered Certificates”)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our purchase of Privately Offered Certificates, we confirm that:

(i)

we understand that the Privately Offered Certificates are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of such laws;

(ii)

any information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the Privately Offered Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the entire beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed relevant to our decision to purchase Privately Offered Certificates has been made available to us;

(iii)

we are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Privately Offered Certificates; we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated institutional investor;

(iv)

we are acquiring Privately Offered Certificates for our own account, not as nominee for any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution or other disposition of the Privately Offered Certificates;

(v)

we agree the Privately Offered Certificates must be held indefinitely by us (and may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is available;

(vi)

we agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Privately Offered Certificates unless:

(A) (1) the sale is to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (2) if required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) a letter to substantially the same effect as either this letter or, if the Eligible Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined under Rule 144A of the Act, the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) (or such other documentation as may be acceptable to the Trustee) is executed promptly by the purchaser and delivered to the addressees hereof and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; and

(B)

if the Privately Offered Certificate is not registered under the Act (as to which we acknowledge you have no obligation), the Privately Offered Certificate is sold in a transaction that does not require registration under the Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and, if Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Securities Administrator”) or HSBC Bank USA, National Association (the “Trustee”) so requests, a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel is furnished to such effect, which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the transferor or the transferee;

(vii)

we agree to be bound by all of the terms (including those relating to restrictions on transfer) of the Pooling and Servicing, pursuant to which the Trust was formed; we have reviewed carefully and understand the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(viii)

we either: (i) are not acquiring the Privately Offered Certificate directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) such transferee is purchasing such Privately Offered Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of the Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and the purchase and holding of such Privately Offered Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.

ARTICLE II.
CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS

Section 2.1

Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

Section 2.2

[Reserved].

Section 2.3

Review of Mortgage Files.

(a)

On or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Sponsor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

(b)

Within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver to the Sponsor and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

(c)

Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Sponsor and the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files.

(d)

In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.

Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage Files.

Section 2.4

Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee.

Section 2.5

Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice from the Trustee that the Sponsor has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a request for release (a “Request for Release”) confirming that the purchase price therefore has been deposited in the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File.

Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer, stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. The Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to review in accordance with the provisions of their Agreement the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan.

From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy or PMI Policy, the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the Company or the Servicer, as applicable. The Company or the Servicer, as applicable, shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Distribution Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

At any time that the Company or the Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or the Company or the Servicer, as applicable, may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Sponsor (unless such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan) and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee (unless such Mortgage Loans is registered on the MERS System) and be returned to the Sponsor. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to the Company or the Servicer, as applicable.

In connection with any prepayment in full or final Liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may (but shall not be obligated to) request the release of the related Mortgage File from the Custodian in the event that the Servicer does not do so and in such event the Custodian shall release such Mortgage File upon receipt of a Request for Release submitted in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

Section 2.6

Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.

ARTICLE III.
CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN

Section 3.1

Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Company, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

Section 3.2

The Trust will reimburse the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or expense is indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.4

Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.

The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time upon 60 days prior written notice to Custodian. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.6 and shall be unaffiliated with the Depositor.

Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.

Section 3.5

Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian 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.

Section 3.6

Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB to the extent reasonably practicable. The Custodian shall cooperate reasonably with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

Section 4.4

Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation. On or before March 15 of each calendar year, the Custodian shall:

(a)

deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Master Servicer) regarding the Custodian’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

any failure by the Custodian to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ attestation or other material when and as required under this Article IV.

(iii)

the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Custodian in the performance of its obligations under this Article IV.

SECTION 6.

Intent of the Parties.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of the Mortgage Loan Seller, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’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, to the extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 (or comparable provision) of the applicable 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 Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 7.

The Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage Loan complies with all the terms, conditions and requirements of the Underwriting Standards. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages are on forms generally acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Mortgage Loan Seller is currently selling loans to Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac which are the same document forms as the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (inclusive of any riders). The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate set forth in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

(uuu)

The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and Title XI of FIRREA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

(vvv)

Each Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(1).

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 7 will inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or assignment of Mortgage or the examination of any Mortgage File. Upon any substitution for a Mortgage Loan, the representations and warranties set forth above shall be deemed to be made by the Mortgage Loan Seller as to any Replacement Mortgage Loan as of the date of substitution.

Upon discovery or receipt of notice by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser or the Trustee of a breach of any representation or warranty of the Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in this Section 7 which materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee in any of the Mortgage Loans delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the party discovering or receiving notice of such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. In the case of any such breach of a representation or warranty set forth in this Section 7, within 90 days from the date of discovery by the Mortgage Loan Seller, or the date the Mortgage Loan Seller is notified by the party discovering or receiving notice of such breach (whichever occurs earlier), the Mortgage Loan Seller will (i) cure such breach in all material respects, (ii) purchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price or (iii) if within two years of the Closing Date, substitute a qualifying Replacement Mortgage Loan in exchange for such Mortgage Loan; provided that, (A) in the case of a breach of the representation and warranty concerning the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule contained in clause (a) of this Section 7, if such breach is material and relates to any field on the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule which identifies any Prepayment Charge or (B) in the case of a breach of the representation contained in clause (hh) of this Section 7, then, in each case, in lieu of purchasing such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the amount of the Prepayment Charge (net of any amount previously collected by or paid to the Trust Fund in respect of such Prepayment Charge) from its own funds and without reimbursement therefor, and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have no obligation to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan. The obligations of the Mortgage Loan Seller to cure, purchase or substitute a qualifying Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute the Purchaser’s, the Trustee’s and the Certificateholder’s sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement or otherwise respecting a breach of representations or warranties hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Any cause of action against the Mortgage Loan Seller or relating to or arising out of a breach by the Mortgage Loan Seller of any representations and warranties made in this Section 7 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Mortgage Loan Seller or notice thereof by the party discovering such breach and (ii) failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to cure such breach, purchase such Mortgage Loan or substitute a qualifying Replacement Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.

APPENDIX E – STANDARD & POOR’S PREDATORY LENDING CATEGORIES

Standard & Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws.

SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Definitions

Primary Servicer – transaction party having borrower contact

Master Servicer – aggregator of pool assets

Securities Administrator – waterfall calculator

Back-up Servicer – named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes the Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)

Custodian – safe keeper of pool assets

Trustee – fiduciary of the transaction

Note: The definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs, rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities administrator” functions, while in another transaction, the securities administrator may perform these functions.

Where there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify in their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction agreements.
