-v-   THIRD STREET FUNDING LLC, as depositor (the Depositor), WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., as master servicer (the Master Servicer) and as securities administrator (the Securities Administrator), PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC, as servicer (the Servicer), MOREQUITY, INC., as interim subservicer (the Interim Subservicer), SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC., as back-up servicer (the Back-up Servicer), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as trustee (the Trustee), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as custodian (the Custodian), are entering into this Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated July 30, 2009 (the Agreement). PRELIMINARY STATEMENT The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates (collectively, the Certificates), to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder.  The Certificates will consist of fifteen Classes of Certificates, designated as (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7, Class A-8, Class A-9 and Class A-10 Certificates, (ii)  the Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, (iii) the Class CE Certificates, (iv) the Class P Certificates and (v) the Class R Certificate.  The descriptions of the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC that follow are part of the Preliminary Statement.  Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to the terms of Section 11.01 hereof in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections described below.     Lower Tier REMIC As provided herein, the Securities Administrator will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as the Lower Tier REMIC.  The Lower Tier REMIC shall not include the Class CE Grantor Trust, the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust or any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts.  The Class LR Interest will represent the sole class of residual interests in the Lower Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Lower Tier REMIC Pass-Through Rate and the initial Uncertificated Balance for each of the Lower Tier Regular Interests.  None of the Lower Tier Regular Interests will be certificated.

(2) The Class LT-P Interest will not bear interest and will be entitled to all the Prepayment Charges received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The foregoing Lower Tier REMIC structure is intended to cause all the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through the Upper Tier REMIC as cash flow on an Upper Tier Regular Interest, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for losses), to any Upper Tier Regular Interest.  To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention, the party identifying such ambiguity or drafting error shall notify the other parties hereto, and the parties hereto shall attempt to resolve such ambiguity or drafting error in accordance with Section 11.01 hereto.  -2-   Upper Tier REMIC As provided herein, the Securities Administrator will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Lower Tier Regular Interests and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as the Upper Tier REMIC.  The Upper Tier REMIC shall not include the Class CE Grantor Trust, the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust or any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts.  The Class UR Interest will represent the sole class of residual interests in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The following table irrevocably sets forth (or describes) the Upper Tier Regular Interest designation, the initial Uncertificated Balance and the Upper Tier REMIC Pass-Through Rate for each Upper Tier Regular Interest comprising the regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

The Class CE Upper Tier Regular Interest will bear interest at its REMIC Pass-Through Rate on its Notional Amount. (3) The Class P Upper Tier Regular Interest will not bear interest.  The Class P Upper Tier Regular Interest will be entitled to 100% of the amounts distributed on the Class LT-P Interest.  -3-   SUMMARY OF CERTIFICATES The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, Certificate Interest Rate, Original Class Certificate Principal Balance or Maximum Original Class Certificate Principal Balance for each Class of Certificates comprising the interests in the Trust Fund created hereunder:

Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Trustee declares that it, or the Custodian as its agent, will hold the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and the other documents delivered to it or the Custodian as its agent, as the case may be, constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund delivered to it, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Custodian on behalf of the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File upon the receipt thereof and to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) the Mortgage Note has been signed by the Mortgagor and any co-Mortgagor, (iii) other than with respect to any MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Note has been endorsed in blank and (iv) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (6), (8), (10) and (12) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.  It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Custodian is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face nor shall the Custodian be under any duty to determine whether there are any intervening assignments or assumption or modification agreements with respect to any Mortgage Loan.  The Custodian shall have no responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage File except as expressly provided for in this Section 2.02 or determining if a mortgage loan qualifies as an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan. If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certification referred to above, the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Custodian shall so notify the applicable Seller, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Servicer.  Such notification shall be in the form of an exception report. The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the other Transferred Assets, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to  -38-   the Trustee and that such property not be part of the Depositors estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency by the Depositor.  In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and the Depositor does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositors right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Mortgage Loans, the other Transferred Assets and the proceeds thereof, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.  Section 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans. (a) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of (i) any materially defective document in, or that, a document is missing from, a Mortgage File which defect or missing document prevents or materially delays the Trust from (A) realizing against the related Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or similar loss mitigation activity or (B) processing any title claim under the related title insurance policy (unless the applicable Seller provides appropriate recourse under a representation and warranty in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement relating to good title) or (ii) the breach by a Seller of any representation or warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties, to the applicable Seller and to American General Finance Corporation of such defect, missing document or breach.  The Custodian shall give such notice in the form of an exception report.  Upon receipt of any such notice, in the case of a defective or missing document, the Trustee shall promptly request that the applicable Seller cure such defect or deliver such missing document within 120 days from the date such Seller was notified of such missing document or defect or, in the case of a breach of a representation or warranty, request the applicable Seller cure such breach within 90 days from the date such Seller was notified of such breach.  If the applicable Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or if such Seller does not cure such breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall enforce such Sellers obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause such Seller to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such period expires (subject to Section 2.03(d)).  The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Master Servicer Custodial Account, and the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer of such deposit and a Request for Release from the Servicer, shall release, to the applicable Seller the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the applicable Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in such Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan.  In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the related Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Defective Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c).  Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to the extent a Seller fails to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan as required by the Mortgage Loan Purchase  -39-   Agreement, American General Finance Corporation is obligated to repurchase or substitute a similar Mortgage Loan for such Defective Mortgage Loan.  In addition, if the Trustee receives written notice from the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer of a breach of a representation with respect to a Mortgage Loan set forth in Section 6.01(d) or (w) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that occurs as a result of a violation of an applicable predatory or abusive lending law, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall enforce the right of the Trust to reimbursement by the applicable Seller or American General Finance Corporation for all costs or damages incurred by the Trust as a result of the violation of such law (such amount, the Reimbursement Amount). It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Sellers (and, if applicable, American General Finance Corporation) set forth in this Section 2.03(a) to cure, substitute or repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and to pay the Reimbursement Amount constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders and to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Sellers with respect to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which have been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, were made as of the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  It is hereby acknowledged that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any materially defective document in, or that, a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans under any circumstances. (b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects. (c) Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans by a Seller for Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date.  As to any Defective Mortgage Loan for which a Seller substitutes an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by such Seller, delivering to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers Certificate of such Seller providing that each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.  The Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, with any applicable exceptions noted on the exception report attached to the  -40-   certification.  Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the related Seller.  For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan in the Collection Period preceding the date of substitution and the related Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan.  The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer.  Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by a Seller, all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as of the date of substitution. For any month in which a Seller or American General Finance Corporation substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the Substitution Adjustment Amount), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the Stated Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one months interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate.  On the date of such substitution, the applicable Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and notice by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the applicable Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the applicable Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In addition, the applicable Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any United States federal income tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any United States federal income tax imposed on prohibited transactions under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on contributions after the startup date under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.  If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given. (d) Upon discovery by a Seller, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a qualified mortgage within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.  In connection therewith, the applicable Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), such Seller may substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for  -41-   the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan.  Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a).  The Trustee shall reconvey to the applicable Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.  Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.

(ii) Due Qualification.

(iii) Due Authorization.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or thereto and the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Servicer.

The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian on the Trustees behalf and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND  Section 3.01. Master Servicing and Servicing of the Mortgage Loans; Subservicing. (a) For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall monitor the obligations 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 or cause to be done any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to monitor the Servicers compliance with, or the Servicers actions or inactions under, the Delegated Authority Guidelines, including the Servicers loss mitigation activities with regard to Delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans, and any Realized Losses and expenses associated therewith.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the Delegated Authority Guidelines only to the extent the Master Servicer receives (i) written notice of any instance of non-compliance by the Servicer under the terms of the Delegated Authority Guidelines and (ii) the most recent version of the Delegated Authority Guidelines.  In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this Agreement, subject to the prior sentence, and with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers.  Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall consult with the Servicer as necessary from time to time to carry out the Master Servicers obligations hereunder, shall receive and review all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer and shall enforce the obligation of the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement.  The Master Servicer shall independently monitor the Servicers servicing activities with respect to each Mortgage Loan, reconcile the reports and other data provided to the Master Servicer pursuant to the previous sentence on a monthly basis based on the Mortgage Loan data provided to the Master Servicer by or on behalf of the Depositor on the Closing Date (upon which data the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely and shall have no obligation to confirm or verify) and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers and Master Servicers records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the Master Servicers Certificate and any other information and statements required hereunder.  The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage  -47-   Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer to the Master Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be responsible or liable for the day-to-day servicing activities of the Servicer or for any unlawful act or omission, breach, negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Servicer.  In addition, any information about any of the Mortgage Loans acquired or obtained by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in any other capacity under this Agreement shall not be attributable to the Master Servicer unless communication of that information to the Master Servicer is an express duty of such person under this Agreement. The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent. In the event the Master Servicer receives written notice of any instance of non-compliance by the Servicer under the terms of the Delegated Authority Guidelines, or the Master Servicer has knowledge of any other instance of non-compliance by the Servicer with its duties under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting any such non-compliance by the Servicer to the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor.  In the review of the Servicers activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officers Certificate of the Servicer (or similar document signed by an officer of the Servicer), and the Servicers annual statement of compliance and accountants report required under Sections 3.15 and 3.16, respectively, with regard to the Servicer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 Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate. 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 of a Servicer Event of Default, act in accordance with Sections 7.01 and 7.05.  Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims 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 Mortgage Loans.  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. To the extent that the costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, in connection with any alleged or actual Servicer Event of Default, the termination of the Servicer, any appointment of a successor servicer and/or any transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs  -48-   and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with the investigation of any alleged or actual Servicer Event of Default, the evaluation of potential termination and/or the actual termination of the Servicer and (ii) all Servicing Transfer Costs), are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Servicing Transfer Costs from the Master Servicer Custodial Account; provided, however, that if such Servicing Transfer Costs are ultimately reimbursed by the terminated Servicer to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, after the Master Servicer has withdrawn such amounts from the Master Servicer Custodial Account then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall remit such amounts that are reimbursed by the terminated Servicer to the Master Servicer Custodial Account. If the Master Servicer or another successor Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces and, as successor Servicer, it will not be accountable or liable for any unlawful act or omission, breach, negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of the predecessor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Custodian and the Securities Administrator and any of their directors, officers, employees or agents and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to a breach of the Master Servicers obligation set forth in this Section 3.01(a) or the failure of the Master Servicer to perform any of its obligations under Section 3.15. (b) The Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement (including the Delegated Authority Guidelines) and Customary Servicing Procedures and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through subservicers or agents, including the Interim Subservicer and SPS as subservicer, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, the Interim Subservicer shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan as subservicer for the Servicer until the Servicing Transfer Date for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement (including the Delegated Authority Guidelines) and Customary Servicing Procedures and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages, shall perform all of the duties, obligations and covenants of the Servicer under this Agreement and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through subservicers or agents, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Interim Subservicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan it services by a subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement or this Agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loan in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the  -49-   Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans.  All actions of each subservicer, including the Interim Subservicer and SPS as subservicer,  shall be performed as agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer.  The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of any subservicer, including the Interim Subservicer and SPS as subservicer, from its own funds (provided that any such expenditures that would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer hereunder shall be reimbursable to the Servicer as Servicing Advances).  The Interim Subservicing Fee shall be paid to the Interim Subservicer out of the Servicing Fee.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to monitor any subservicer (including the Interim Subservicer and SPS as subservicer). (c) At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund, 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.  If the Servicers responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated and if requested to do so by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible.  The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the subservicer from the Servicers own funds without reimbursement from the Trust Fund. (d) 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.  Except as expressly set forth herein, no subservicer shall be entitled to any indemnification from the Trust Fund. (e) Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between the subservicer and Servicer alone, and, except as set forth herein, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee to pay the subservicers fees and expenses.  For purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a subservicer, including the Interim Subservicer and SPS as subservicer, has received such payment.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Interim Subservicer shall subservice each Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Servicer until the related Servicing Transfer Date and thereafter as agreed between SPS and the Servicer, SPS shall subservice certain Mortgage Loans.  -50-   (f) The Servicer shall be responsible for making all required Servicing Advances (although the Interim Subservicer and SPS shall directly make all required Servicing Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans subserviced by the Interim Subservicer or SPS, as the case may be, and SPS shall make all required Monthly Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans subserviced by it on behalf of the Servicer and the Servicer shall be required to make any such required Advance only if the Interim Subservicer or SPS fails to do so) and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.  Each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney or other documents by the Servicer.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not, without the written consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable:  (x) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the name of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, without indicating the Servicers representative capacity; or (y) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, to be registered to do business in any state.  None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible, and the Servicer (from its own funds and without any right of reimbursement from the Trust) shall indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, for any action taken by the Servicer pursuant to the application of any power of attorney; provided that the Servicer shall have no obligation to indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, for such action to the extent such action was taken pursuant to and in accordance with specific written instructions from the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, which instructions are not based on the Servicers recommendations or proposals. (g) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Trust Fund would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that (A) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and (B) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,  -51-   containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.  The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.01(g) shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicers right to be reimbursed therefor from the Servicer Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.08(a).  If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders.  The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance, subject to the Servicers right to be reimbursed therefor from the Servicer Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.08(a). (h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i)(a) the Servicer determines that such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans, (b) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and (c) such waiver would, in the reasonable judgment of such Servicer, maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge, (ii) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iii) such waiver is otherwise permitted by the Delegated Authority Guidelines.  If the Servicer has waived or does not collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a voluntary Principal Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of such Servicer, other than as provided above, the Servicer shall, on the date on which the Principal Prepayment in full is remitted to the Master Servicer, deliver to the Master Servicer the Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (i) The Servicer shall undertake to defend any claims against the Trust, the Trustee and/or itself by a Mortgagor or otherwise related to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan and shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding such mortgage loans.  Section 3.02. Delinquency and Default. (a) Subject to Section 3.01(g), in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in Early Stage Delinquency, Early Stage Default or Advanced Default, the Servicer shall proceed according to the Delegated Authority Guidelines.  If the portion of any Liquidation Proceeds allocable as a recovery of interest on any Mortgage Loan is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan as of the date such proceeds are received, then the applicable  -52-   Servicing Fees with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be paid first and any amounts remaining thereafter shall be deposited into the Servicer Custodial Account. (b) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may pursue loss mitigation activities as set forth in the Delegated Authority Guidelines.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and provided such action is in accordance with the Delegated Authority Guidelines, the Servicer in its own name or acting through subservicers or agents is hereby authorized and empowered when the Servicer believes it appropriate and reasonable in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and the Certificateholders, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge, sale and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02 and 3.11. (c) The Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee the original documents evidencing an assumption, Servicer Modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or under the Delegated Authority Guidelines, no modification, sale, refinancing, foreclosure or similar action shall be permitted in respect of any Mortgage Loan unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer or Interim Subservicer, reasonably foreseeable within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.  Section 3.03. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable.  Section 3.04. Rights of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee.  None of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and none of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor shall be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or otherwise.   -53-   Section 3.05. [RESERVED].  Section 3.06. Servicer Custodial Account, Master Servicer Custodial Account, Distribution Account; Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust Account; Interim Subservicer Custodial Account and Class P Account. (a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain the Servicer Custodial Account which shall be entitled Servicer Custodial Account, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, as Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated July 30, 2009, among Third Street Funding LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and as Securities Administrator, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, as Servicer, MorEquity, Inc., as Interim Subservicer, SPS, as Back-up Servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Custodian, in trust for registered Holders of American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2009-1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2009-1, which must be an Eligible Account held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and all references herein to a Servicer Custodial Account shall be deemed to be references to such segregated account. The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Servicer Custodial Account, within two Business Days of receipt (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), the following payments and collections 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; (iii) all Liquidation Proceeds (net of any fees or other compensation specifically permitted herein) and any Subsequent Recoveries; (iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.06 in connection with any losses on Eligible Investments with respect to the Servicer Custodial Account; (v) any amounts relating to REO Property required to be remitted pursuant to Section 3.11; (vi) Monthly Advances made by or on behalf of the Servicer; (vii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan and all Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts required to be paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(h) in connection with any such Principal Prepayment; and (viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.  -54-   If the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Servicer Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  All funds required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the Certificateholders until remitted to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 3.06 hereof or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. Each institution at which the Servicer Custodial Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein if directed in writing by the Servicer in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the next Servicer Remittance Date and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.  All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  All Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment Income shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as additional compensation and the amount of any losses realized in the Servicer Custodial Account in respect of any such Eligible Investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer from its own funds to the Servicer Custodial Account. The Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer in immediately available funds for deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account by 2:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer Remittance Date, all amounts on deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account with respect to the related Collection Period and Prepayment Period.  Any remittance received from the Servicer after 2:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. With respect to any amount required to be delivered by the Servicer to the Master Servicer pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph that is received by the Master Servicer after the applicable Servicer Remittance Date, unless such late amount is the direct result of the Master Servicers failure to timely remit funds to the Servicer Custodial Account from the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account on behalf of the Interim Subservicer, the Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on any such late amount at an annual rate equal to The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate as of such applicable Servicer Remittance Date (but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law).  Such interest shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account by the Servicer and paid to the Master Servicer on the date that eventual payment of such late amount is made and shall cover the period commencing on the day following the applicable Servicer Remittance Date and ending on the Business Day on which such payment 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 Servicer Event of Default. (b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Master Servicer Custodial Account, which may be deemed to be a sub-account of the Distribution Account for so long as the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same Person.  The Master Servicer shall, promptly upon receipt or as otherwise required, deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account and retain therein any amounts which are required to be deposited in the Master Servicer Custodial Account by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Master Servicer Custodial Account, on the same Business Day of receipt (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), the following payments and collections remitted by the Servicer, a Seller or  -55-   American General Finance Corporation or received by the Master Servicer 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; (iii) all Liquidation Proceeds (net of any fees or other compensation specifically permitted herein) and any Subsequent Recoveries; (iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.06 in connection with any losses on Eligible Investments with respect to the Master Servicer Custodial Account and any amounts received from the Servicer relating to losses on Eligible Investments with respect to the Servicer Custodial Account; (v) any amounts relating to REO Property required to be remitted by the Servicer; (vi) Monthly Advances made by or on behalf of the Servicer and any Compensating Interest paid by the Servicer; (vii) all Purchase Prices, Reimbursement Amounts and Substitution Adjustment Amounts paid by a Seller or American General Finance Corporation; (viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan and all Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts required to be paid by the Servicer in connection with any such Principal Prepayment; and (ix) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder. If the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Master Servicer Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  All funds required to be deposited in the Master Servicer Custodial Account shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust for the Certificateholders until remitted to the Securities Administrator in accordance with this Section 3.06 hereof or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. Each institution at which the Master Servicer Custodial Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Master Servicer in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the next Distribution Date (except that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of, or managed or advised by, the institution that maintains such account, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.  All  -56-   such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  All Master Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment Income shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as part of its master servicing compensation and shall be remitted to the Master Servicer monthly as provided herein.  The amount of any losses realized in the Master Servicer Custodial Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer from its own funds in the Master Servicer Custodial Account. (c) The Securities Administrator will establish and maintain the Distribution Account into which the Master Servicer will deposit on or prior to 11:00 A.M. New York time on each Distribution Date (or, if the Securities Administrator is no longer the same Person as, or an Affiliate of, the Master Servicer, the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date), all amounts on deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account for distribution to Certificateholders.  The Securities Administrator shall also deposit in the Distribution Account the Termination Price upon receipt from the Interim Subservicer or the Servicer, as the case may be.  The Securities Administrator hereby designates each of the Lower Tier Distribution Subaccount, the Upper Tier Distribution Subaccount, the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount and the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust Subaccount as a sub-account of the Distribution Account.  On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall (A) from funds available on deposit in the Distribution Account, be deemed to deposit into the Lower Tier Distribution Subaccount, all funds deemed on deposit in the Distribution Account and (B) immediately thereafter, be deemed to deposit into the Upper Tier Distribution Subaccount, the Lower Tier Distribution Amount.  On each Distribution Date, funds on deposit in the Distribution Account and deemed to be on deposit in the Upper Tier Distribution Subaccount shall be used to make payments on the Upper Tier Interests as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02. Each institution at which the Distribution Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Securities Administrator in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the next Distribution Date (except that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of, or managed or advised by, the institution that maintains such account, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.  All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  All Securities Administrator Distribution Account Reinvestment Income shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator as part of its compensation and shall be remitted to the Securities Administrator monthly as provided herein.  The amount of any losses realized in the Distribution Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Securities Administrator from its own funds in the Distribution Account.  Funds in the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount and the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust Subaccount shall be held uninvested. (d) The Servicer shall give notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee of any proposed change of the location of the Servicer Custodial Account maintained by the Servicer not later than 30 days after and not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof.  The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee of any proposed change of the location of the Master Servicer Custodial Account maintained by the Master Servicer not later than 30 days after and  -57-   not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof.  The Securities Administrator shall give notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Trustee of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account maintained by the Securities Administrator not later than 30 days after and not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof. (e) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Cap Carryover Amount payable to the Certificates (other than the Exchangeable, Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates), the Securities Administrator has been directed by the Holders of the Class CE Certificates to, and therefore will, deposit into the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount the amounts described in Section 4.02(a)(i) and (iii), rather than distributing such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.  For federal and state income tax purposes, the Holders of the Class CE Certificates will be deemed to be the owners of the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount, which will be an asset of the Class CE Grantor Trust as provided in Section 9.04 and all amounts deposited into the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount shall be treated as amounts distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC with respect to the Class CE Upper Tier Regular Interest.  Upon a termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 10.01 or the payment in full of the Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount will be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates or their designees.  For federal and state tax return and information reporting purposes, the right of the Holders of the Offered Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and the Class B Certificates to receive payments of Cap Carryover Amounts shall be assumed to have a value of zero as of the Closing Date unless and until required otherwise by an applicable taxing authority.  The Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Offered Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and Class B Certificates of Cap Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a regular interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).  The Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount is an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury regulation § 1.860G-2(h). By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Holder of a Class CE Certificate hereby agrees to direct the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator hereby is directed, to deposit into the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Cap Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.  By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Holder of a Class CE Certificate further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.  Amounts held in the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount shall be held uninvested. (f) The Interim Subservicer shall establish with the Master Servicer the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account which shall be entitled Interim Subservicer Custodial Account, MorEquity, Inc., as Interim Subservicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated July 30, 2009, among Third Street Funding LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and as Securities Administrator, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, as Servicer, MorEquity, Inc., as Interim Subservicer, SPS, as Back-up Servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Custodian, in trust for registered Holders of American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2009-1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2009-1, which must be an Eligible Account held on behalf of  -58-   the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and all references herein to an Interim Subservicer Custodial Account shall be deemed to be references to such segregated account. The Interim Subservicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account, within two Business Days of receipt (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), the following payments and collections 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 Interim Subservicing Fee); (iii) all Liquidation Proceeds (net of any fees or other compensation specifically permitted herein) and any Subsequent Recoveries; (iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Interim Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with any losses on Eligible Investments with respect to the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account; (v) any amounts relating to REO Property required to be remitted pursuant to Section 3.11; (vi) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Interim Subservicer in connection with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan and the amount of any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount required to be paid by the Servicer as a result of a waiver of a Prepayment Charge by the Interim Subservicer not otherwise permitted by Section 3.01(h); and (vii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder. The Interim Subservicer may withdraw from the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account to pay itself (to the extent not previously retained by it), the Interim Subservicing Fee to which the Interim Subservicer is entitled pursuant to this Agreement. If the Interim Subservicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  All funds required to be deposited in the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account shall be held by the Interim Subservicer in trust for the Certificateholders until remitted to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 3.06 hereof. Each institution at which the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein if directed in writing by the Interim Subservicer in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the next Servicer Remittance Date and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity.  All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  All income and  -59-   gains net of any losses from Eligible Investments of funds in the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the Interim Subservicer as additional compensation and the amount of any losses realized in the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account in respect of any such Eligible Investments shall promptly be deposited by the Interim Subservicer from its own funds to the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account. The Interim Subservicer hereby instructs the Master Servicer to deliver to the Servicer by 2:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to each Servicer Remittance Date in immediately available funds all amounts on deposit in the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account that are required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account (less any reimbursed Servicing Advances and the Interim Subservicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan) for deposit to the Servicer Custodial Account. (g) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Class P Account, which must be an Eligible Account held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Depositor shall deposit or cause to be deposited $100 into the Class P Account on the Closing Date, to be held therein until such amount is distributed by the Securities Administrator to the holders of the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(vii).  Such amount shall remain uninvested.  Section 3.07. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more escrow accounts (collectively, the Escrow Account) which shall be entitled Escrow Account, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, as Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated July 30, 2009, among Third Street Funding LLC, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and as Securities Administrator, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, as Servicer, MorEquity, Inc., as Interim Subservicer, SPS, as Back-up Servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Custodian, in trust for registered Holders of American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2009-1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2009-1, which must be an Eligible Account held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and all references herein to an Escrow Account shall be deemed to be references to such segregated account.  Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, the Interim Subservicer shall be permitted to use its existing escrow accounts. (b) The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein:  (a) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement and (b) all amounts representing proceeds of any Insurance Policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.  The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only in accordance with this Section 3.07.  As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by law.  -60-   (c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage.  To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor.  The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagors faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments, subject to its ability to recover such Servicing Advances pursuant to Sections 3.07, 3.08(a)(ii) and 3.08(a)(iii). (d) Withdrawals from the Escrow Account shall be made by the Servicer only (a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, premiums for Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage, (b) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, (c) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, (d) for transfer to the Servicer Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by applicable law, (e) for application to restore or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (f) to pay to the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (g) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the Mortgagor), (h) to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Note and applicable law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly Payment which is received after the applicable grace period, (i) to withdraw suspense payments that are deposited into the Escrow Account, (j) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Escrow Account or (k) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

(a) The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial Account for the following purposes: (i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained by it), the Servicing Fee to which the Servicer is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and to pay itself any Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment Income; (ii) to reimburse itself or any subservicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances or Monthly Advances, the Servicers right to reimburse itself or any subservicer pursuant to this clause (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited  -61-   to related Liquidation Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan (unless the Mortgage Loan was subject to a Servicer Modification during the related Prepayment Period, in which case the Servicer may reimburse itself or any subservicer for all unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan from funds on deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account); (iii) to reimburse itself or any subservicer for Nonrecoverable Advances (as certified by the Servicer to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator in an Officers Certificate); (iv) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property that has been purchased pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03, all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase; (v) to reimburse itself for losses, liabilities and expenses incurred by it and reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 3.18; (vi) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account and not required to be deposited therein; and (vii) to clear and terminate the Servicer Custodial Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01. Upon request, the Servicer will provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator with copies of invoices or other documentation relating to Servicing Advances that have been reimbursed from the Servicer Custodial Account. (b) The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Master Servicer Custodial Account for the following purposes: (i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained by it), the Servicing Fee to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and to pay itself any Master Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment Income; (ii) to pay the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian any amounts due to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all amounts provided for under Sections 3.01(a), 3.18(b) and 8.05; (iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances or Monthly Advances, such right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan (unless the Mortgage Loan was subject to a Servicer Modification during the related Prepayment Period, in which case the Master Servicer may reimburse the Servicer for all unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan from funds on deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account);  -62-   (iv) to reimburse the Servicer for Nonrecoverable Advances (as certified by the Servicer to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator in an Officers Certificate); (v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO Property that has been purchased pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03, all amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase; (vi) to reimburse itself and the Depositor for losses, liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 3.18; (vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Master Servicer Custodial Account and not required to be deposited therein; and (viii) to clear and terminate the Master Servicer Custodial Account upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01. (c) The Securities Administrator shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement.  Section 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located by an insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance owing on the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of an REO Property, the fair market value of such REO Property) and (ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy.  If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Prevention Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the Federal Insurance Administration, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the replacement value of the improvements that are part of the Mortgaged Property, (B) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or (C) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Prevention Act of 1973, as amended. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures) shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08.  It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on REO Property other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.  Any cost incurred by 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  -63-   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 Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08.  All policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Servicer, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer.  The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagors freedom of choice in selecting either its insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located. The Servicer shall be permitted to maintain a blanket insurance policy in sufficient amounts to cover any uninsured loss due to any gap in Mortgagor provided coverage.  In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from flood, fire and hazards covered under extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph and otherwise complies with all other requirements of the immediately preceding paragraph, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in this Section 3.09.  Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08.  Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the immediately preceding paragraph, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Servicers funds, without reimbursement therefor (and such amount shall be deemed to be Insurance Proceeds).  Section 3.10. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance. (a) The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, either in the form of a policy with an insurer or as part of a self-insurance program with its subsidiaries and Affiliates, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans.  The Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer, upon request, copies of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance.  These policies or program must insure the Servicer against losses resulting from fraud, theft, errors, omissions, negligence, dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Servicers personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for the Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns.  The fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby.  No provision of this Section 3.10 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.  -64-   (b) The Master Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, either in the form of a policy with an insurer or as part of a self-insurance program with its subsidiaries and Affiliates, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans.  These policies or program must insure the Master Servicer against losses resulting from fraud, theft, errors, omissions, negligence, dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Master Servicers personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for the Master Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns.  No provision of this Section 3.10 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.  Section 3.11. REO Property. (a) With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders.  The Servicer shall (i) cause the Trust to be placed on the title to such REO Property and (ii) ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement.  The Servicer shall sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures.  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 by this Agreement, subject to the REMIC Provisions. (b) The Servicer shall deposit all REO Proceeds in the Servicer Custodial Account.  With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall account separately for each REO Property with respect to all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of such REO Property. (c) The Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing 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 or Servicing 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 REO Proceeds. (d) The Net Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property  shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account within two Business Days of receipt.  Any disposition of REO Property shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Servicer to the effect that such sale shall not result in an Adverse REMIC Event). (e) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property before the end of the third taxable year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (or the end of such other period as may be identified in the REMIC Provisions as the maximum time  -65-   during which such REO Property continues to constitute foreclosure property under the REMIC Provisions) unless the Servicer shall have applied for and received an extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property for the period of such extension.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust 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 in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as foreclosure property within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any Trust REMIC 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 with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.  Section 3.12. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution Agreements. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any due-on-sale provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided that the Servicer shall permit an assumption if so required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note.  When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the due-on-sale clause applicable thereto; provided, however, the Servicer will not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any.  In connection with any assumption, the outstanding principal amount, the Monthly Payment and the Mortgage Interest Rate of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed, and the term of the Mortgage Loan will not be increased or decreased.  If an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 3.12, the Servicer with the prior consent of the issuer of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.  Section 3.13. Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian by delivering, or causing to be delivered, two copies (one of which will be returned to the Servicer with the Mortgage File) of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto or in electronic format acceptable to the Custodian and the Servicer.  Upon receipt of such request, the Custodian shall within three Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer.  The Trustee shall at the Servicers written direction execute and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, in each case provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon.  If the Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, the Servicer shall take all necessary action to reflect the release of the  -66-   Mortgage on the records of MERS.  Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. (b) From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the master servicing, servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Custodian shall, upon delivery to it of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or a Master Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File within three Business Days to the Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable.  Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall cause the Mortgage Files so released to be returned to the place where the related Mortgage File was being maintained when the need therefor no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, signed by a Servicing Officer. (c) If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, and shall direct the Trustee to execute and deliver for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustees sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. (d) The Servicer may provide an electronic transmission for release of documents in an electronic format mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Custodian (a Paperless Release Request).  The Servicer agrees to maintain and control access to electronic signature information and assumes liability for any unauthorized use thereof.  The Servicer also agrees to maintain accurate records of electronic transactions related to the Mortgage Files.  The Servicer hereby authorizes Custodian to automatically append the electronic signature of a Servicing Officer to the applicable Paperless Release Request.  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Custodian may rely on any Paperless Release Request.  For purposes of this Agreement the term electronic signature is defined as an electronic identifier having the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature by the person designated thereby. (e) The Custodian reserves the right to restrict or suspend the Servicers access to the Custodians computer systems for maintenance or repairs or for any other reason in Custodians sole discretion; provided, however, that Custodian shall provide the Servicer reasonable advance notice of such restriction or suspension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and the Master Servicer are authorized to transmit and the Custodian is authorized to accept signed facsimile or email copies of Requests for Release.   -67-   Section 3.14. Master Servicing and Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to compensation in the form of the Master Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment Income.  The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its master servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement. (b) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the Servicing Fee from interest payments actually collected with respect to each Mortgage Loan.  Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, incentive payments payable to the Servicer as provided in the U.S. Treasurys Home Affordable Modification Program (or other similar mortgage loan modification programs), fees in connection with the successful sale of Bulk Loans (from related Liquidation Proceeds) and other ancillary income shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account.  The Servicer shall also be entitled to any Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment Income.  The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein. (c) The Interim Subservicer shall be entitled to: (i) the Interim Subservicing Fee; (ii) all income and gains net of any losses from Eligible Investments of funds in the Interim Subservicer Custodial Account; and (iii) all such additional servicing compensation earned before the related Servicing Transfer Date for a Mortgage Loan to which the Servicer is otherwise entitled pursuant to the preceding paragraph.  The Interim Subservicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for herein. (d) The Back-up Servicer shall be entitled, for so long as it is acting as Back-up Servicer hererunder, to receive a back-up servicing fee equal to 4.5% of the Servicing Fee that would be payable to the Servicer if the Servicer directly serviced each Mortgage Loan with respect to each Collection Period.  Such fee shall be paid by the Servicer to SPS in immediately available funds to an account to be designated by the Back-up Servicer on the Business Day after the Servicer Remittance Date in the following calendar month.  Section 3.15. Annual Statement as to Compliance. On or prior to March 30th of each year, beginning in calendar year 2010, each of the Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer (in the case of the Servicer) and the Depositor a statement to the effect that (i) an authorized officer of the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, has reviewed (or a review has been made under its supervision of) such partys activities under this Agreement during the prior calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and (ii) to the best of such officers knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout the period covered by the prior calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any respect, a statement of such failure known to such officer and the nature and the status thereof.   -68-   Section 3.16. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants Reports. On or prior to March 30th of each year, beginning in calendar year 2010, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has, with respect to the Servicers overall servicing operations, examined such operations in accordance with the requirements of either the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Securities and Exchange Commissions Regulation AB, stating such firms conclusions relating thereto.  Section 3.17. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans; Access to Servicing Systems and Data. The Master Servicer and the Servicer shall provide to regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of such regulators, access to the documentation required by applicable regulations of such regulators with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  In addition, as necessary for the Interim Subservicers accounting and reporting requirements, the Servicer shall (i) provide the Interim Subservicer with access to the Servicers servicing systems and servicing data and (ii) cooperate with the Interim Subservicer should the Interim Subservicer need to validate such data.  Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable.  Nothing in this Section 3.17 shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer or the Servicer to observe any applicable law and the failure of the Master Servicer or the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.17 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.17. In addition, each of the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall furnish upon request by the Trustee or the Master Servicer, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable and appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement and applicable regulations.  All such reports or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions the requesting party may require.  Each of the Master Servicer and the Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Trustee from time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.  Section 3.18. Liability of Parties; Indemnification. (a) Subject to clause (b) below, the Servicer indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Custodian and the Trust Fund harmless against any and all third party claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Custodian and the Trust Fund may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement.  In addition, the Servicer indemnifies and holds the Interim  -69-   Subservicer and its Affiliates harmless against any and all third party claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Interim Subservicer and its Affiliates may sustain as a result of the failure of the Interim Subservicer and its Affiliates to properly account for the Mortgage Loans in accordance with on-balance sheet accounting treatment under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States where such failure was directly due to the material failure of the Servicer to comply with its reporting obligations specified in Section 4.08 hereof.  The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer and the Custodian if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer or the Custodian, as applicable) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Servicer, Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Custodian and/or the Trust Fund in respect of such claim.  The Interim Subservicer indemnifies and holds the Servicer harmless against any amounts that the Servicer may be required to pay pursuant to Section 3.01(f) or this Section 3.18 to the extent such amounts relate to the failure of the Interim Subservicer to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 3.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates. (b) None of the parties to this Agreement or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of such parties shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made by such party herein, or against any specific liability imposed on such party for a breach of its duties in compliance with this Agreement, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reasons of reckless disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder. Each of the parties to this Agreement and any director, officer, employee or agent of each such party, may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person with respect to any matters arising hereunder.  Each of the parties to this Agreement and any director, officer, employee or agent of each such party shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, claim, liability, damage, cost or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, claim, liability, damage, cost or expense incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence or a breach of a representation or warranty made by such party hereunder.  In addition, each of the parties hereto and any director, officer, employee or agent of such parties will be indemnified by the Trust Fund and will be held harmless against any loss, claim, liability, damage, cost or expense (including without limitation, any legal fees and expenses and any extraordinary or unanticipated expense, but not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by such party in the ordinary course of such  -70-   partys performance in accordance with the provisions hereof) such party incurs arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its rights, powers, obligations and duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) that constitutes a specific liability of such party hereunder or (ii) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such partys duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of such partys obligations and duties hereunder.  None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or the Interim Subservicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or the Interim Subservicer may in their discretion undertake any action related to their obligations hereunder which they may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.  In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and such party shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefrom.  Each partys right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of such party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).  Section 3.19. Monthly Advances. (a) On the Business Day immediately preceding each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer (and not the Interim Subservicer) shall deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Monthly Payments which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Collection Period but not received by the Servicer on or before the related Determination Date (each such advance, a Monthly Advance).  A Monthly Advance for a Mortgage Loan subject to the Simple Interest Method shall be deemed to be made on the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan for purposes of determining the allocation of principal and interest thereon.  The Servicer shall pay such Monthly Advance from either (i) its own funds, (ii) from the Servicer Custodial Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Servicer Custodial Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 3.19, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Monthly Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Monthly Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  Any such funds held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicers records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to Monthly Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 on such Distribution Date if such funds held for future distributions had not been so used to make Monthly Advances.  The Master Servicer will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by  -71-   the Servicer to the Master Servicer on such date is less than the Monthly Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Servicer Remittance Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report. (b) The obligation of the Servicer (and not the Interim Subservicer) to make such Monthly Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (c) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until such Mortgage Loan is paid in full by the Mortgagor or disposed of by the Trust Fund. (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Servicer shall not be required to make any Monthly Advance with respect to any Collection Period following the Collection Period that relates to the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-2 Certificates is reduced to zero and (ii) no Monthly Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  The determination by a Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Monthly Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer.  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such determination by the Servicer. (d) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an Advance Facility), under which (i) the Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement to another Person, which may include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person, an Advance Financing Person), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund some or all Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.  No consent of the Trustee, Master Servicer, Depositor, Certificateholders or any other party is required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility.  There shall only exist one Advance Facility at any one time.  Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicers behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility.  If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advance Financing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances outstanding and previously unreimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, then the Servicer shall remit or cause to be remitted directly to the Advance Financing Persons designee (which may be the Advance Financing Person; in either case, the Financing Persons Designee) amounts withdrawn by the Servicer from the Servicer Custodial Account or Escrow Account, in either case to reimburse itself for previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances (Advance Reimbursement Amounts).  No rights of set-off by the Trustee or otherwise shall attach to any rights to be reimbursed for Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances that have been assigned or pledged to the Advance Financing Person. To the extent that a successor Servicer (including SPS, as Back-up Servicer) assumes the servicing obligations under this Agreement, until such time as the successor Servicer receives a  -72-   Notice of Facility Termination (as defined below), the successor Servicer shall, with respect to all Advance Reimbursement Amounts it otherwise would be entitled to withdraw and as promptly as practicable, cause to be remitted, directly from the Escrow Account and the Servicer Custodial Account, to the Financing Persons Designee, all amounts that such successor Servicer would otherwise have the right to withdraw from the Escrow Account and the Servicer Custodial Account, but to which the predecessor Servicer would otherwise be entitled. If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer a written notice of the existence of such Advance Facility (an Advance Facility Notice), stating the identity of the Advance Financing Person and the related Financing Persons Designee.  An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Advance Reimbursement Amounts collected with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a first-in, first out basis. At any time when the Advance Financing Person shall have ceased funding Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) and the Financing Persons Designee shall have received Advance Reimbursement Amounts sufficient in the aggregate to reimburse all Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) the right to reimbursement for which were assigned to the Advance Financing Person, then upon the delivery of a written notice signed by the Financing Persons Designee, the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer to the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer terminating the Advance Facility Notice (the Notice of Facility Termination), the Servicer shall again be entitled to withdraw and retain the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the assignment or pledge by the Servicer of its rights to reimbursed for Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances, the Servicer will not be released from any of its obligations under the Agreement and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has any right or ability to require the Advance Financing Person to make any Advances and neither shall have any rights or remedies against the Advance Financing Person for any failure by the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Each Advance Financing Person is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 3.19(d).  This Section 3.19(d) shall not be amended or modified without the consent of any applicable Advance Financing Person.  Section 3.20. Compensating Interest. Not later than the close of business on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer (and not the Interim Subservicer) shall deliver to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Custodial Account an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date resulting from Principal Prepayments in full on the Mortgage Loans during the related Prepayment Period and (B) the aggregate Servicing Fee for the related Distribution Date (Compensating Interest).  The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Master  -73-   Servicer in respect of Compensating Interest.  Such amounts so remitted shall be included in Available Funds and distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date.  The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to any interest shortfalls resulting from the Relief Act.  Section 3.21. Transfer of Servicing for the Mortgage Loans. Prior to the final Servicing Transfer Date, the Depositor shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Interim Subservicer to comply with each of the servicing transfer requirements set forth in the Servicing Transfer Procedures set forth on Exhibit N hereto or otherwise as agreed to by the Interim Subservicer and the Servicer and in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures.  The Depositor, the Interim Subservicer, the Master Servicer and the Servicer acknowledge that the Depositors right, title and interest in and to the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans are being transferred as of the Closing Date to the Servicer, subject to the Servicers obligations herein.

(a) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account the Interest Remittance Amount and apply it in the following order of priority (based upon the Mortgage Loan information provided to it in the Master Servicers Certificate, upon which the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely), to the extent available: (i) concurrently, to the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6 and Class A-7 Certificates, pro rata, theapplicable Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date; (ii) concurrently, to the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6 and Class A-7 Certificates, pro rata, the applicable Interest Carry Forward Amount thereon for such Distribution Date; (iii) to the Class B-1 Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date; (iv) to the Class B-1 Certificates, the Interest Carry Forward Amount thereon for such Distribution Date; (v) to the Class B-2 Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date; (vi) to the Class B-2 Certificates, the Interest Carry Forward Amount thereon for such Distribution Date; and  -74-   (vii) the amount, if any, of the Interest Remittance Amount remaining after application with respect to the priorities set forth above will be applied as described under Section 4.02 hereof. (b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw the Principal Distribution Amount from the Distribution Account and apply it in the following order of priority (based upon the Mortgage Loan information provided to it in the Master Servicers Certificate, upon which the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely), to the extent available: (i) sequentially, to the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6 and Class A-7 Certificates, in that order, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; (ii) to the Class B-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; (iii) to the Class B-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and (iv) the amount, if any, of the Principal Distribution Amount remaining after application with respect to the priorities set forth above will be applied as described under Section 4.02 hereof. (c) Amounts allocated to a Class of Exchangeable REMIC Certificates will be made assuming no exchanges have ever occurred.  Outstanding Exchangeable Certificates shall be entitled to receive their proportionate share of distributions in respect of interest and/or principal and other amounts allocated to the Classes of Exchangeable REMIC Certificates in the Related Exchangeable Combination pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and (b), Section 4.02(a) and Section 10.01.  Section 4.02. Distributions of Monthly Excess Cashflow Amounts. (a) On each Distribution Date, any Monthly Excess Cashflow Amount shall be distributed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent available, from Available Funds remaining after application with respect to the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 above and, with respect to Section 4.02(a)(vii) on the applicable Distribution Date, from the amount in the Class P Account, in the following order of priority on such Distribution Date: (i) concurrently, from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates, to fund the amount of any Cap Carryover Amount, pro rata (based on the Cap Carryover Amount of each such class), to the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6 and Class A-7 Certificates; (ii) sequentially, to the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6 and Class A-7 Certificates, in that order, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero;  -75-   (iii) from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificates, to fund the amount of any Cap Carryover Amount, sequentially, to the Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, in that order; (iv) to the Class B-1 Certificates, any Realized Loss Amortization Amounts for such Class for such Distribution; (v) to the Class B-2 Certificates, any Realized Loss Amortization Amounts for such Class for such Distribution; (vi) sequentially, to the Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, in that order, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; (vii) to pay to the Class CE Certificates, up to the Class CE Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date; and (viii) on the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date following the date of expiration of the final Prepayment Charge, (ii) the final Distribution Date or (iii) the Distribution Date immediately following the date on which the Pool Balance is reduced to $100,000 or less, from the amount in the Class P Account, to the Holder of the Class P Certificate, $100 in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class. (b) On each Distribution Date, there shall be distributed to the Holder of the Class R Certificate (in respect of the Class UR Interest), any remaining amount in the Distribution Account on such date after the application pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02(a). (c) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw any amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans or Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P Certificates.  Any such amounts in respect of Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts shall not be payments with respect to a regular interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).  Such amounts shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P Certificates. (d) Any amounts distributed to the Offered Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and the Class B Certificates in respect of interest pursuant to Section 4.02(a) which constitute Cap Carryover Amounts shall first be deemed currently distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC as a distribution of Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to the Class CE Upper Tier Regular Interest, and then shall be deemed distributed into the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount and then distributed to the Offered Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and Class B Certificates as payments on notional principal contracts in the nature of cap contracts.  Any such amounts deemed distributed will not increase the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Class CE Certificates or result in any carryforward of accrued interest in respect of the Class CE Certificates.  To the extent any additional amounts would be distributed currently pursuant to the Class CE Distributable Amount in excess of amounts constituting Cap Carryover Amounts, such remaining amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.  The Securities Administrator shall account for Cap Carryover Amounts as property  -76-   held separate and apart from any Trust REMIC.  The provisions of this paragraph are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury regulations § 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with regular interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistent with such regulation. (e) Distributions on the Lower Tier Interests. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to cause in the following order of priority, the following amounts to be distributed to the Upper Tier REMIC on account of the Lower Tier Regular Interests (such amount, the Lower Tier Distribution Amount) or withdrawn from the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holder of the Class R Certificate (in respect of the Class LR Interest), as the case may be: (i) to the extent of the Interest Remittance Amounts, to the Holders of the Class LT-AA Interest, the Lower Tier Corresponding Marker Interests and the Class LT-ZZ Interest, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.  Amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of the Class LT-ZZ Interest shall be reduced and deferred when (I) the Lower Tier REMIC Overcollateralized Amount is less than the Lower Tier REMIC Overcollateralization Target Amount and (II) without duplication, when amounts are distributed to the Offered Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) or the Class B Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii), by the lesser of (x) the sum of the amount of such difference described in clause (I) and 1% of the amount described in clause (II) and (y) the Maximum LT-ZZ Uncertificated Accrued Interest Deferral Amount and such amount will be payable to the Holders of the Lower Tier Corresponding Marker Interests, in the same proportion as the Overcollateralization Deficiency is allocated to the Corresponding Classes or amounts are distributed to the Corresponding Classes under Section 4.02(a)(ii) and the Uncertificated Balance of the Class LT-ZZ Interest shall be increased by such amount; (ii) to the Holders of the Lower Tier Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Interest Remittance Amount and Principal Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above plus, on the earliest of (A) the Distribution Date following the date of expiration of the final Prepayment Charge, (B) the final Distribution Date or (C) the Distribution date immediately following the date on which the Pool Balance is reduced to $100,000 or less, the amount held in the Class P Account, allocated as follows: (1) to the Class LT-AA Interest, 98.00% of such remainder, until the Uncertificated Balance of such Lower Tier Interests are reduced to zero; (2) to the Lower Tier Corresponding Marker Interests, 1.00% of such remainder, in the same proportion as principal payments are allocated to the Corresponding Classes, until the Uncertificated Balances of such Lower Tier Regular Interests are reduced to zero; then to the Class LT-ZZ Interest, 1.00% of such remainder, until the Uncertificated Balance of such Lower Tier Regular Interest is reduced to zero;  -77-   (3) on the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date following the date of expiration of the final Prepayment Charge, (ii) the final Distribution Date or (iii) the Distribution Date immediately following the date on which the Pool Balance is reduced to $100,000 or less, from the amount held in the Class P Account, $100 to the Class LT-P Interest until the Uncertificated Balance of such Lower Tier Regular Interest is reduced to zero; and (4) any remaining amount to the Holder of the Class R Certificate (in respect of the Class LR Interest). provided, however, that an amount equal to any Overcollateralization Amount included in the Class CE Distributable Amount and distributed to the Class CE Certificates shall be allocated to (i) the Class LT-AA Interest and (ii) the Class LT-ZZ Interest, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively. (iii) On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans during the related Prepayment Period will be distributed to the Holders of the Class LT-P Interest. Such amount shall not reduce the Uncertificated Balance of the Class LT-P Interest. (f) Distributions on the Upper Tier Interests. On each Distribution Date, 100% of the amounts deemed distributed by the Lower Tier REMIC to the Upper Tier REMIC shall be deemed distributed with respect to the Upper Tier Interests so as to (i) pay the Uncertificated Accrued Interest on such Upper Tier Interest plus any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates at the same time and in the same manner that such amounts are distributed to the Corresponding Classes of Certificates and (ii) reduce the Uncertificated Balance of each such Upper Tier Interest to the extent necessary so that it equals the Certificate Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates, if any. Any amounts distributed to the Class CE Certificates in respect of Overcollateralization Amounts shall reduce its Uncertificated Balance.  Any remaining amounts will be deemed distributed to the Holder of the Class R Certificate with respect to the Class UR Interest. (g) Allocation of Losses on the Lower Tier Interests and the Upper Tier Interests. The Securities Administrator shall be deemed to cause the following allocation of losses: (i) (a) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date to the following Lower Tier Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to (i) the Class LT-AA Interest and (ii) the Class LT-ZZ Interest up to an aggregate amount equal to the Lower Tier REMIC Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the Class LT-AA Interest and the Class LT-ZZ Interest up to an aggregate amount equal to the Lower Tier REMIC Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated Balances of the Class LT-AA Interest, the Class LT-B2 Interest and the Class LT-ZZ Interest, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of the Class LT-B2 has been reduced to zero; and fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of the Class LT-AA Interest, the Class LT-B1 Interest and the Class LT-ZZ Interest, 98%, 1% and 1%,  -78-   respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of the Class LT-B1 has been reduced to zero.  Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date in the same manner and priority as Realized Losses are allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence.  (b) All Realized Losses and Subsequent Recoveries on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date to the Upper Tier Interests such that the Uncertificated Balance or Notional Amount of each such Upper Tier Interest equals the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of the corresponding Class of Certificates.  (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the above distributions in Sections 4.02(e) through (g) (other than on the Certificates) are deemed distributions, and actual distributions of funds from the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Sections 4.01 and 4.02(a) through (d) hereof. (i) It is the intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class CE Certificates receive all principal and interest received by the Trust on the Mortgage Loans that is not otherwise distributable to the Offered Certificates, the Class B Certificates or the Class P Certificates.  If the Securities Administrator determines that the Class R Certificates are entitled to any distributions of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loans, the Securities Administrator, prior to any such distribution to any Class R Certificate, shall notify the Depositor of such impending distribution.  Upon such notification, the Depositor will request an amendment to this Agreement to correct such mistake in the distribution provisions and the Securities Administrator shall hold such distribution until such Amendment is executed.  The Class R Certificateholders, by their acceptance of their Certificates, and the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Interim Subservicer hereby agree to such amendment and no further consent shall be necessary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.  Section 4.03. Allocation of Losses. Any Applied Realized Loss Amount for a Distribution Date shall be allocated sequentially to the Class B-2 and the Class B-1 Certificates, in that order, until the respective Certificate Principal Balances thereof are reduced to zero.  No Applied Realized Loss Amount shall be allocated to any other Class of Certificates hereunder.  Once the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class of Subordinated Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Class will not be entitled to distributions on future Distribution Dates regardless of whether Subsequent Recoveries are received with respect to such Class.  Section 4.04. Method of Distribution. The Securities Administrator shall make distributions in respect of a Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution), in the case of Certificateholders of the Certificates, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five  -79-   Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of such Certificates, or by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, provided that the Securities Administrator may deduct a reasonable wire transfer fee from any payment made by wire transfer.  Distributions among Certificateholders shall be made in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held by such Certificateholders.  Section 4.05. Distributions on Book-Entry Certificates. Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures.  Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a brokerage firm or indirect participating firm) for which it acts as agent.  Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents.  All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the Certificates.  None of the parties to this Agreement shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.  Section 4.06. Statements. (a) On each Distribution Date, based on the Mortgage Loan information contained in the Master Servicers Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall prepare a statement (the Distribution Date Statement) as to the distributions made on such Distribution Date: (i) the amount of the distribution made on such Distribution Date to the Holders of each Class of Certificates allocable to principal separately identifying the amount of the distribution made on such Distribution Date to the Holders of the Class P Certificates allocable to Prepayment Charges and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts;

In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses  (i), (ii) and (xv) above, the amounts shall be expressed in a separate section of the report as a dollar amount for each Class for each $1,000 original dollar amount as of the Cut-off Date. The Securities Administrator will make the Distribution Date Statement (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format) available each month to beneficial owners of Certificates that provide appropriate certification in the form furnished by the Securities Administrator (which may be submitted electronically via the  -82-   Securities Administrators internet website) and other parties to this Agreement via the Securities Administrators internet website.  The Securities Administrators internet website shall initially be located at http://www.ctslink.com.  Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Securities Administrators customer service desk at (866) 846-4526.  Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and indicating such.  The Securities Administrator shall have the right to change the way the monthly statements to Certificateholders are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes. (b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, if requested in writing by such Person, such information as is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the information set forth in subclauses (i), (ii), (xiv) and (xv) above, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.  Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be prepared and furnished by the Securities Administrator to Certificateholders pursuant to any requirements of the Code as are in force from time to time. (c) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall forward to the Class R Certificateholder upon request a copy of the reports forwarded to the Certificateholders of Certificates other than the Class R Certificate in respect of such Distribution Date with such other information as the Securities Administrator deems necessary or appropriate.  Such obligation of the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be prepared and furnished to the Class R Certificateholder by the Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in force.  Section 4.07. Remittance Reports; Master Servicers Certificate. (a) No later than the 5th day of each month (or if such 5th day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day), the Servicer (and not any subservicer) shall deliver to the Master Servicer and Back-up Servicer a Remittance Report in form and substance set forth in Exhibit L hereto with respect to the related Distribution Date.  On the same date, the Servicer (and not the Interim Subservicer) shall deliver to the Master Servicer such information reasonably available to the Servicer necessary in order for the Master Servicer to prepare the Master Servicers Certificate.  The Master Servicer shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Servicer.  In addition, for so long as the Interim Subservicer is subservicing any Mortgage Loans, it shall provide no later than the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which the Servicer is required to deliver the Remittance Report, a report in form and substance to be agreed upon by the Interim Subservicer and the Servicer regarding such Mortgage Loans, to be utilized by the Servicer in preparing the Remittance Report. (b) Each month, not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the 18th calendar day of such month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day), the Master  -83-   Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator, a Master Servicers Certificate based solely on the information provided by the Servicer (and not the Interim Subservicer) (in substance and format mutually acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator) certified by a Master Servicing Officer setting forth the information necessary in order for the Securities Administrator to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  The Securities Administrator may conclusively rely upon the information contained in a Master Servicers Certificate delivered by the Master Servicer for all purposes hereunder and shall have no duty to verify or re-compute any of the information contained therein.  Section 4.08. Servicer Reports to Sellers. So long as the Servicer or any subservicer (other than the Interim Subservicer) directly services any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver electronically to the Sellers information with respect to such Mortgage Loan as part of the Daily Servicer Report to Sellers in form and substance set forth as Exhibit M-1 (and any additional reports agreed to by the Servicer and the Interim Subservicer as contemplated therein), in accordance with the timeframes set forth therein.  In addition, beginning with first month the Servicer or any subservicer (other than the Interim Subservicer) directly services any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver electronically to the Sellers information with respect to such Mortgage Loan as part of the Monthly Servicer Report to Sellers with respect to the related Distribution Date in form and substance set forth as Exhibit M-2 (and any additional reports agreed to by the Servicer and the Interim Subservicer as contemplated therein), in accordance with the timeframes set forth therein. On or prior to January 31st of each year, beginning in calendar year 2010, the Servicer shall, at its expense, provide the Sellers with a Type II SAS 70 Service Auditors Report (or equivalent report as may be agreed to by the Servicer and the Interim Subservicer) with respect to the previous calendar year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for calendar year 2009, the Servicer shall only be required to deliver such report by January 31, 2010 on a best efforts basis; provided, however, such report shall be delivered no later than February 28, 2010.  In addition, if SPS or another entity becomes successor Servicer, such successor shall use its best efforts to deliver its initial Type II SAS 70 Service Auditors Report (or equivalent report as may be agreed to by such successor and the Interim Subservicer) by the last day of February in the year following the year during which it begins servicing the Mortgage Loans.  Section 4.09. Compliance with Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders that the Securities Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code.  The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding.

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 Trust, 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 Certificate.  No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Certificate Registrar substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.  Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Offered Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates.  The Class B-1, Class B-2, Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates but shall be issued in fully registered certificate form.  Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.  The Securities Administrator shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.  The Securities Administrator as Certificate Registrar shall be subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Securities Administrator, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall apply to the Certificate Registrar to the same extent as they apply to the Securities Administrator.  Any Certificate Registrar appointed in accordance with this Section 5.02(a) may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days advance written notice of resignation to each of the parties to this Agreement, such  -85-   resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Certificate Registrar by the Depositor. (b) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations or Percentage Interests of a like Class, tenor and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency.  Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.  Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. (c) (i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(iii) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (A) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (B) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (C) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (D) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (E) the Securities Administrator shall deal with the Depository as the representative of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of the Depository shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (F) the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. (ii)  All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.  Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depositorys normal procedures. (iii)  If the Depository advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and neither the Securities Administrator nor the Depositor is able to locate a qualified successor, the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the Definitive Certificates) to such Certificate Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository (or by the Certificate Custodian, if it holds such  -86-   Class on behalf of the Depository), accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates.  None of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. (d) No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and such laws.  In the event of any such transfer (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor may require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act and such laws or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act and such laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Depositor and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall require a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and a certificate from such Certificateholders prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, which certificates shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator or the Depositor; provided that the foregoing requirements under clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to a transfer of a Certificate between the Depositor and its affiliates.  The Securities Administrator shall provide upon request to any Holder of a Certificate and any prospective transferees designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such certificate without registration thereof under the 1933 Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A.  The Holder of a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities Administrator and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.  For purposes of clause (ii) of this Section 5.02(d) the representations required in any transferor certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto) and any investment letter (substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto) shall be deemed to have made in connection with the transfer of any Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate. (e) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have received (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor (such requirement is satisfied only by the Securities Administrators receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or arrangement (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) subject to Section 4975 of the Code or any other arrangement, including bank collective funds and insurance company general and separate accounts, in which assets of such employee benefit plans or other plans or arrangements are invested (collectively, Plans), nor a person acting on  -87-   behalf of any such Plan nor using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Class R Certificate may be permitted to a Plan or a plan or arrangement subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (Similar Law), or a person acting on behalf of, or using assets of, any such Plan or plan, if the transferee delivers to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate by or on behalf of such Plan or with assets of such Plan will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or, in the case of an arrangement subject to Similar Law, a violation of any such Similar Law and will not subject the parties to this Agreement to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement and such Opinion shall not be the expense of any party to this Agreement.  Any beneficial owner of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate or interest therein shall be deemed to have made the representation letter described in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(e) by acceptance of such Certificate or interest therein.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Definitive Certificate (other than a Class R Certificate) to or on behalf of a Plan or to any Person using assets of a Plan without delivery of a properly completed representation letter (or, in lieu thereof, an Opinion of Counsel) as described above or any transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Plan or any Person acting on behalf of, or using assets of, a Plan shall be void and of no effect. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability for transfers of Book-Entry Certificates made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among any Depository Participants or Certificate Owners, made in violation of applicable restrictions.  The Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), neither the Securities Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar 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 5.02 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing requirements. (f) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in 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.  -88-   (ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest. (iii) In connection with the initial registration and any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of an affidavit substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K from the proposed transferee and a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I. (iv) Notwithstanding the delivery of an affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (iii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed transferee shall be effected. (v) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any Person that is not a U.S. Person, unless (A) such Person holds such Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and furnishes the transferor and the Securities Administrator with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor thereto) or (B) the transferee delivers to both the transferor and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally-recognized tax counsel to the effect that such transfer is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of a Residual Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes. (vi) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.  If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02, become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 5.02, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate.  The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02 or for making any distributions due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement so long as the transfer was registered in accordance with this Section 5.02.  The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate.  Any such distributions so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be distributed and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.  -89-   (vii) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02, then, upon discovery, the Securities Administrator will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the Persons specified in Section 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations.  The expenses of the Securities Administrator under this clause (vii) shall be reimbursable by the Trust so long as they constitute unanticipated expenses within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii). (viii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be acquired by a Plan. (g) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. (h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.  Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest.  Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith.  Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.  Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such  -90-   Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.  Section 5.05. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Securities Administrator.  The duties of the Paying Agent may include the obligation to distribute statements and provide information to Certificateholders as required hereunder.  The Paying Agent hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.  The Paying Agent shall initially be the Securities Administrator.  The Securities Administrator may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor.  The Securities Administrator as Paying Agent shall be subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Securities Administrator, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall apply to the Paying Agent to the same extent as they apply to the Securities Administrator.  Any Paying Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.05 may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days advance written notice of resignation to the parties to this Agreement, such resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Paying Agent.  Section 5.06. Class R Certificate Each Holder of a Class R Certificate will be entitled to separate such Certificate into its component parts.  Upon receipt of a Class R Certificate and a written request from the Holder thereof to separate such certificate, the Securities Administrator shall issue to such registered Holder in exchange for such Class R Certificate (i) a separately transferable, certificated and fully registered security that will, from the date of its issuance, represent the Holders Percentage Interest in the Class LR Interest and (ii) a separately transferable, certificated and fully registered security that will, from the date of its issuance, represent the Holders Percentage Interest in the Class UR Interest.  If requested by and at the expense of the Holder, the Securities Administrator shall obtain CUSIP numbers for such newly issued securities.  The Securities Administrator shall make any allocations and distributions with respect to such newly issued securities (in respect of the Class LR Interest or Class UR Interest, as applicable) as set forth herein and such newly issued securities shall be subject to the same rights and restrictions as the Class R Certificate hereunder.  Section 5.07. Transfer of Exchangeable REMIC Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates. (a) Upon the presentation and surrender by any Certificateholder of its Exchangeable REMIC Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates in the appropriate Combination as set forth in Exhibit P hereto, such Certificateholder shall thereby transfer to the Securities Administrator, all of such Certificateholders right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable REMIC  -91-   Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates, including all payments of interest and principal thereon received after the date of such presentation and surrender and until such Certificateholder informs the Securities Administrator that it wishes to again hold its interest in the form of Exchangeable REMIC Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates, as applicable. (b) The Securities Administrator acknowledges any transfer and assignment of Exchangeable REMIC Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, and hereby declares that it will hold the same in trust for the Certificateholders on the terms set forth in this Agreement, and shall treat such Exchangeable REMIC Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates in accordance with Section 9.04 of this Agreement.  Section 5.08. Exchanges of Exchangeable REMIC Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates. (a) The Exchangeable Certificates in a Combination shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for the related Exchangeable REMIC Certificates, and Exchangeable REMIC Certificates in a Combination shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for the related Exchangeable Certificates, on and after the Closing Date, by notice to the Securities Administrator substantially in the form of Exhibit Q hereto or under the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and otherwise in accordance with the procedures specified in this Agreement. (b) In the case of each Combination, Exchangeable REMIC Certificates in such Combination shall be exchangeable for the Exchangeable Certificates in respective Denominations, determined based on the proportion that the Maximum Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of such Exchangeable REMIC Certificates bear to the Maximum Original Class Certificate Principal Balances of the related Exchangeable Certificates, as set forth in Exhibit P hereto.  Except as provided in Section 9.04 of this Agreement, upon any such exchange, the portions of the Exchangeable REMIC Certificates designated for exchange shall be deemed cancelled and replaced by the Exchangeable Certificate issued in exchange therefor.  Correspondingly, Exchangeable Certificates related to a Combination may be further designated for exchange for Exchangeable REMIC Certificates in such Combination in respective Denominations determined based on the proportion that the Maximum Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of such Exchangeable REMIC Certificates bears to the Maximum Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of the related Exchangeable Certificates, as set forth in Exhibit P hereto.  There shall be no limitation on the number of exchanges authorized pursuant to this Section 5.08, and, except as provided below, no fee or other charge shall be payable to the Securities Administrator or the Depository in connection therewith. (c) In order to effect an exchange of Exchangeable REMIC Certificates or the Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificateholder shall notify the Securities Administrator by e-mail at ctsspgexchanges@wellsfargo.com no later than three Business Days before the proposed exchange date.  The exchange date may be any Business Day other than the first or last Business Day of the month, subject to the Securities Administrators approval.  In addition, the Certificateholder must provide notice on the Certificateholders letterhead, which notice must carry a medallion stamp guarantee and set forth the following information: the CUSIP number of each Exchangeable REMIC Certificate or Exchangeable Certificate to be exchanged and  -92-   Exchangeable REMIC Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates to be received; the outstanding portion of the Certificate Principal Balance and the Maximum Original Class Certificate Principal Balance of the Exchangeable REMIC Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates to be exchanged; the Certificateholders Depository participant number; and the proposed exchange date.  After receiving the notice, the Securities Administrator shall e-mail the Certificateholder with wire payment instructions relating to the exchange fee.  The Certificateholder will utilize the deposit and withdrawal system at the Depository to exchange the Certificates.  The Securities Administrator shall verify the proposed proportions to ensure that the principal and interest entitlements of the Certificates received equal the entitlements of the Certificates surrendered. If there is an error, the exchange will not occur until such error is corrected.  Unless rejected for error, a notice becomes irrevocable on the third Business Day before the proposed exchange date. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein set forth, a fee of $5,000 shall be payable to the Securities Administrator in connection with each exchange. (e) The Securities Administrator shall make the first distribution on an Exchangeable REMIC Certificate or Exchangeable Certificate received in an exchange transaction on the Distribution Date in the month following the month of the exchange to the Certificateholder of record as of the close of business on the last day of the month of the exchange.

On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in SPS as successor Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01 and Section 7.05(a), unless SPS is serving at such time as the Servicer in which case the Master Servicer shall assume the role of the Servicer or appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination.  The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to SPS (or the Master Servicer or any successor Servicer appointed by the Master Servicer, if SPS is currently the Servicer) for the administration by it of all cash amounts that have been deposited by the Servicer in the Servicer Custodial Account or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  Upon obtaining written notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Servicer Event of Default, the Person obtaining such notice or knowledge shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator (who shall in turn give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register).  All costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred in connection with amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer or from funds in the Master Servicer Custodial Account if the predecessor Servicer fails to pay such costs and expenses.  Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer pursuant hereto, (i) the Servicer shall remain liable for its actions hereunder and any causes of action arising out of any Servicer Event of Default occurring prior to such termination and (ii) the Servicer shall be entitled to receive any amount owing to it under  -96-   Section 3.08(a)(i) through (vii), the entitlement to which arose prior to its termination under this Section 7.01. (c) If any one of the following events (a Master Servicer Event of Default) shall occur and be continuing: (i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit amounts to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account in the amount and manner provided herein so as to enable the Securities Administrator to distribute to Holders of Certificates any payment required to be made under the terms of such Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied by 12:00 P.M. New York time on the related Distribution Date; or (ii) failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Master Servicer set forth in the Certificates or in this Agreement, which covenants and agreements continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of all Certificates affected thereby; or (iii) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings against the Master Servicer, or for the winding up or liquidation of the Master Servicers affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (iv) the consent by the Master Servicer to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations. (d) Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, the Trustee may, and shall at the direction of the Holders of not less than 51% of the Voting Rights, by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as master servicer under this Agreement.  Any such notice by the Trustee to the Master Servicer shall also be given to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and the Custodian.  On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice and subject to Section 7.05(d), all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in  -97-   the Trustee as successor Master Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01 and Section 7.05(d), unless and until such time as the Trustee shall appoint a successor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05(d), and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination.  The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Master Servicer Custodial Account or thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.  Upon obtaining written notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default, the Person obtaining such notice or knowledge shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (who shall in turn give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register).  All costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred in connection with amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (unless the predecessor Master Servicer is the Trustee, in which event the previous Master Servicer shall be responsible for payment of such costs and expenses so long as the transfer of servicing is not the result of a Master Servicer Event of Default on the part of the Trustee in its capacity as the predecessor Master Servicer).  Notwithstanding the termination of the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, the Master Servicer shall remain liable for its actions hereunder and any causes of action arising out of any Master Servicer Event of Default occurring prior to such termination. (e) If the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same Person, then upon any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Securities Administrator shall resign or be terminated as securities administrator hereunder and replaced as provided in Section 8.08.  Section 7.02. Remedies of Trustee. (a) During the continuance of any Master Servicer Event of Default, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith).  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Master Servicer Event of Default.   -98-   Section 7.03. Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Master Servicer Event of Default. During the continuance of any Master Servicer Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, and (b) the terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor Master Servicer from its rights and duties as master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby and, provided, further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would subject the Trustee to a risk of personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.  Section 7.04. Action upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and upon Master Servicer Event of Default. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any failure of the Master Servicer specified in Section 7.01(c)(i) or (ii) which would become a Master Servicer Event of Default upon the Master Servicers failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Master Servicer.  If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders.  Section 7.05. SPS or Master Servicer to Act; Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the time the Servicer resigns or receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, SPS (or the Master Servicer or other successor appointed by the Master Servicer, if SPS resigns or is terminated as Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof.  SPS hereby agrees as Back-up Servicer hereunder to act as successor Servicer to PennyMac Loan Services, LLC and succeed to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof in the event of the resignation or removal of PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, as Servicer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties hereto agree that SPS (or the Master Servicer or other successor appointed by the Master Servicer, if SPS resigns or is terminated as Servicer), in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and (ii) SPS (or the Master Servicer or other successor appointed by the  -99-   Master Servicer, if SPS resigns or is terminated as Servicer), in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts.  Subject to Section 7.05(b), as compensation therefor, SPS (or the Master Servicer or other successor appointed by the Master Servicer, if SPS resigns or is terminated as Servicer), as successor Servicer, shall be entitled to such compensation as the resigning or terminated Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of resignation or termination had been given.  Notwithstanding the above, if SPS resigns or is terminated as Servicer, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder.  The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its resignation or termination as Servicer, nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such predecessor Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement.  If SPS resigns or is terminated as Servicer, pending appointment of a successor to SPS and unless the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity as provided above.  The Master Servicer (or any other successor) shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.  All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer or the Master Servicer (in which case the successor Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust). (b) In connection with the appointment of a successor Servicer to SPS as specified in Section 7.05(a), the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor agree, provided that such compensation shall not exceed the servicing compensation set forth in Section 3.14(b). (c) Any successor, including SPS or the Master Servicer, to the Servicer as servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.10. (d) On and after the time the Master Servicer resigns or receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee (or other named successor) shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof or shall appoint a successor pursuant to this Section 7.02 and the transition to such successor Master Servicer shall be fully effected within 90 days following the termination of the prior Master Servicer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Master Servicer, immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, (ii) the Trustee, in its capacity as  -100-   successor Master Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts and (iii) under no circumstances shall any provision of this Agreement be construed to require the Trustee to be liable for any losses or acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer hereunder.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee, as successor Master Servicer, shall be entitled to such compensation as the resigning or terminated Master Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of resignation or termination had been given.  Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the terminated or resigning Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.  The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination or resignation as Master Servicer, nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such predecessor Master Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement.  Pending appointment of a successor Master Servicer to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as provided above.  The Trustee (or any other successor) shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.  All Master Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (unless the predecessor Master Servicer is the Trustee, in which event the previous Master Servicer shall be responsible for the payment of such costs and expenses so long as the transfer to a new Master Servicer is not as a result of a Master Servicer Event of Default on the part of the Trustee in its capacity as Master Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Master Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor master servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust). (e) In connection with the appointment of a successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, as specified in Section 7.02(d), the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor agree; provided, however, that such compensation shall not exceed the compensation of the Master Servicer being replaced. (f) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall during the term of its service as master servicer maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as master servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.10.  Section 7.06. Notification to Certificateholders.  Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and the  -101-   Depositor.  Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and the Depositor. ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR AND THE CUSTODIAN  Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator. (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.  In case a Master Servicer Event of Default has occurred of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a reasonably prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such persons own affairs. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.  If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument. (b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misfeasance; provided,however, that: (i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any  -102-   certificates or opinions furnished to it which on their face do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement; (ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of such party, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Certificateholders as provided in Section 7.03; (iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of a default, failure, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such default, failure, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default or any Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such default, failure, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default at its Corporate Trust Office from any of the other parties to this Agreement or any Certificateholder; and (v) Except to the extent provided in Section 7.05 in respect of the Trustee as successor Master Servicer, no provision in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of funds or adequate indemnity or security satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.  Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01: (i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officers Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (ii) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;  -103-   (iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; (iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; (v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholders; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to such proceeding; (vi) The Trustee shall not be accountable, have any liability or make any representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer, Master Servicer, Interim Subservicer, Back-up Servicer or Custodian until, with respect to the Master Servicer, such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05; (vii) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by it with due care; and (viii) The right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.  Section 8.03. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator is Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature of the Securities Administrator on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor,  -104-   and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for the correctness of the same.  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Securities Administrator on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or Related Document.  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Master Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Master Servicer Custodial Account by the Master Servicer.  Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation:  the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05(d) and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as the successor to the Master Servicer); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05(d) and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as the successor to the Master Servicer); the compliance by the Depositor or the Master Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustees or Securities Administrators receipt of written notice or actual knowledge of any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Master Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom; the acts or omissions of any of the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05(d) and thereupon only for the acts and omissions of the Trustee as the successor to the Master Servicer), or any Mortgagor; any action of the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05(d) and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as the successor to the Master Servicer), taken in the name of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator; the failure of the Master Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator taken at the instruction of the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.05(d) and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as the successor to the Master Servicer); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of their obligation to perform their respective duties under this Agreement.

If no successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be. If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of their respective property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of their respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, and appoint a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Securities Administrator so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable. The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, by written instrument or instruments delivered to the other parties to this Agreement; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, as provided in Section 8.08. If the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer are the same Person, then upon any resignation or termination of the Securities Administrator hereunder, the Master Servicer shall resign or be terminated as master servicer hereunder and replaced as provided in Section 7.05.  Section 8.08. Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator. Any successor Trustee or Securities Administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Custodian and to its predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall become effective, and such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be.  The other parties to this Agreement and the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver such  -107-   instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, as provided in this Section 8.08, the Master Servicer shall cooperate to mail notice of the succession of such Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register.  If the Master Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Master Servicer.  Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee, Securities Administrator or Custodian. Any entity into which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee, Securities Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or Custodian, as the case may be, shall be the successor hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Sections 8.06 and 8.08 or 8.16, as applicable, 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 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property 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, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.  Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Master Servicer.  If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.  No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the  -108-   appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.  Any fees and expenses of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder shall be an expense of the Trust. 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 shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the 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 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 Depositor and the Trustee, acting jointly 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 VIII.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name.  If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.  Section 8.11. Limitation of Liability. The Certificates are executed by the Securities Administrator, not in its individual capacity but solely as Securities Administrator of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement.  Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Securities Administrator in the Certificates is made and intended not as a  -109-   personal undertaking or agreement by the Securities Administrator but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.  Section 8.12. Trustee or Securities Administrator May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates. (a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be.  Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, or their agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. (b) The Trustee shall afford the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during the Trustees normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties.  The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying at the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustees duties hereunder.  The Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise. (c) The Securities Administrator shall afford the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during the Securities Administrators normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Securities Administrator in respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Securities Administrator responsible for performing such duties.  The Securities Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying at the expense of the party requesting such copies, such books, documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Securities Administrators duties hereunder.  The Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Securities Administrator and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the Securities Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.  Section 8.13. Suits for Enforcement. In case a Servicer Event of Default, Master Servicer Event of Default or other default by the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the  -110-   Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders upon receipt of satisfactory indemnification from Certificateholders pursuant to Section 7.03.  Section 8.14. Waiver of Bond Requirement. The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency or body whatsoever.  Section 8.15. Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal Requirement. The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner whatsoever.  Section 8.16. Appointment of Custodian. (a) The Custodian shall at all times be (i) an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, (ii) qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds a Mortgage File and (iii) a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority with a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000.  The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is hereby appointed as the Custodian and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any act or omission of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as the Custodian. (b) No representations, warranties, covenants (other than those expressly made by the Custodian in this Agreement) or obligations of the Custodian shall be implied with respect to this Agreement or the Custodians services hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian: (i) shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or as may subsequently be agreed in writing by the parties hereto and shall use reasonable care in the performance of its duties hereunder and shall act in good faith and in accordance with the reasonable commercial standards of the mortgage banking business for document custodians; (ii) makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible for or required to verify (A) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, effectiveness, recordability, insurability, sufficiency, value, form, substance, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in any Mortgage File or (B) the collectibility, ownership,  -111-   insurability, validity, transferability, insurability, value, effectiveness, perfection, priority or suitability of any Mortgage Loan; (iii) shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with indemnity satisfactory to it; (iv) may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting in good faith upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, instructions, letter, telegram or other document or communication, or any security, delivered to it and in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties; (v) may rely on and shall be protected in acting in good faith upon the written instructions received from the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any Seller and any such employees and representatives of the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any Seller, that the Servicer, Master Servicer or Seller may hereinafter designate in writing; (vi) may consult with counsel satisfactory to it (including counsel for Servicer); (vii) shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection therewith, except in the case of willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reasons of reckless disregard of its obligations or duties hereunder; and (viii) may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through agents or attorneys. (c) The Custodian shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control.  Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terrorism, epidemics, nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. (d) In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, the Custodian is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Custodian.  Accordingly, the Servicer agrees to provide to the Custodian upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Custodian to comply with such laws, rules, regulations and executive orders. (e) In the event that the Custodian is directed by the Servicer to deliver Mortgage Files or other loan documents to any Person in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations regarding  -112-   customer information or personally identifiable information of a Mortgagor included in any such Mortgage Files or other loan documents. (f) In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, affiliates, officers, agents and employees be held liable for any exemplary, punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages of any kind resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages. (g) Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Custodian shall have no notice of and shall not be bound by any of the terms and conditions of any other document or agreement executed or delivered in connection with, or intended to control any part of, the transactions anticipated by or referred to in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) unless the Custodian is a signatory party to that document or agreement. (h) As of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall be responsible for the safekeeping and custody of the Mortgage Files and the Custodian acknowledges the existence therein of the documents and the accuracy of the data described in the certification delivered on the Closing Date substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, other than with respect to those documents or data discrepancies identified in the final exception report provided in connection with the delivery of such certification.  Upon receipt of any trailing document, cured document or reinstated Mortgage File, the Custodian shall check such document or Mortgage File in under the same review terms as the certification, and confirm such check-in to the Servicer, the Sellers, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer by sending an updated exception report.  Upon such confirmation, the Custodian shall be responsible for the safekeeping and custody of such trailing document, cured document or reinstated Mortgage File, as the case may be. (i) The Custodian shall be under no responsibility or duty with respect to the disposition of any Mortgage File or any document constituting part of a Mortgage File while such Mortgage File or document is not in its possession.  If the Custodian shall request instructions from the Servicer or any other party with respect to any act, action or failure to act in connection with this Agreement, the Custodian shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the Custodian shall have received written instructions from the Servicer or other party without incurring any liability therefor to the Servicer, or any other Person.  No provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties under this Agreement if it shall have grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it. (j) Any notice, demand or request made to the Custodian shall be deemed to have been received on the date delivered to the premises of the Custodian (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted on the return receipt, or in the case of facsimile or other telecommunication device, the date noted on the confirmation of such transmission), except that any notice, demand or request received by the Custodian after 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.  -113-   (k) The Custodian may terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon sixty 60 days prior written notice to the Servicer and the Trustee.  The Majority Certificateholders may also remove the Custodian upon sixty 60 days prior written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.  In the event of such termination or removal, the Trustee shall, within sixty (60) days, appoint a successor custodian meeting the requirements set forth in Section 8.16(a) hereof.  The Custodian, promptly upon payment of its fees and expenses, shall transfer to the successor custodian, as directed, all Mortgage Files being held by Custodian under this Agreement. The cost of the shipment of Mortgage Files arising out of the resignation or ineligibility of the Custodian shall be at the expense of the Custodian (and any release fees shall be waived) unless such resignation is due to the nonpayment of the Custodians fees and expenses by the Servicer, in which case such expense and fees shall be paid by the Servicer.  If the Custodian is removed by the Majority Certificateholders, such cost of the shipment of Mortgage Files and any release fees shall be paid by the Trust.  If a successor custodian is not appointed by the Trustee within sixty (60) days, all duties and obligations of the Custodian shall cease and terminate and the Trustee shall assume all duties and obligations of the Custodian. The Custodians sole responsibility after termination of its obligations as aforesaid shall be to safely maintain all of the Mortgage Files and to deliver the same to a successor custodian; provided, however, if the Trustee has not appointed a successor custodian within such sixty (60) day period, the Custodian shall deliver such documents to the Trustee.  If the Trustee becomes the Custodian hereunder, the Servicer shall pay the Trustees reasonable fees as Custodian as provided in Section 8.05 hereof. (l) The provisions of this Section 8.16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Custodian. ARTICLE IX

(c) The Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes, except as provided in Section 9.03) of each Trust REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to a Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state or local tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder.  Except as provided in Section 9.01(d) below, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to withdraw the amount of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Distribution Account. (d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, the Trustee shall sign and the Securities Administrator shall timely file or cause to be timely filed, each Trust REMICs federal and state Tax Returns and information returns (including, but not limited to, IRS Form 8811 and IRS Form 1066, including Schedule Q) as the Trust REMICs direct representative.  The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator. (e) The Holder of the Class R Certificate shall be the tax matters person as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the Tax Matters Person) with respect to each Trust REMIC, and the Securities Administrator is irrevocably designated as and shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for such Tax Matters Person for each Trust REMIC.  Subject to Section 9.01(a), the Securities Administrator as agent for the Tax Matters Person shall perform, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.  Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or state or local law, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall timely provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the computation of any tax relating to the transfer of the Class R Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions or state or local law, including, but not limited to, IRS Forms 1099-INT, IRS Forms 1099-OID and the information required to be provided to the Holders of the Certificates under Treasury regulations § 1.6049-7(e). (f) Each of the parties to this Agreement and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.  None of the parties to this Agreement or the Holder of the Class R Certificate shall take any action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of United States federal income tax upon any Trust  -115-   REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on contributions after the startup day set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an Adverse REMIC Event) unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax.  In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of the Class R Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. (g) Subject to Section 9.03, the Holder of the Class R Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on each Trust REMIC formed under this Agreement by federal or state governmental authorities, but only from amounts, if any, distributable thereon.  To the extent that such REMIC taxes are not paid by the Class R Certificateholder, subject to Section 9.03, the Securities Administrator shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Class R Certificate or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of the Certificates. (h) The Securities Administrator, shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC formed under this Agreement on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any Trust REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans. (j) None of the parties to this Agreement shall enter into any arrangement by which the REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services. (k) Solely for purposes of satisfying Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the latest possible maturity date of the regular interests in the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC is the date three years following the maturity of the latest maturing Mortgage Loan.  Section 9.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities. None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of the Lower Tier REMIC pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (vi) a sale of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.02 of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any Trust REMIC, nor sell  -116-   or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date, unless such party has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or contributions after the startup day pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.  Section 9.03. Payment with Respect to Certain Taxes. In the event that any tax is imposed on prohibited transactions of any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the net income from foreclosure property of any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any Trust REMIC after the startup day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code or for any other reason on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Securities Administrator, to the extent any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IX of this Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement relating to the administration of the Trust REMICs, (ii) the Servicer, to the extent any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Master Servicer, to the extent any such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) the Trust Fund, in all other cases or in the event that the Securities Administrator, the Servicer or the Master Servicer fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).  Section 9.04. Grantor Trust Administration. (a) The Securities Administrator shall treat the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the right of the Offered Certificates and Class B Certificates to receive Cap Carryover Amounts, the obligation of the Class CE Certificates to pay Cap Carryover Amounts, and the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount and any other rights and obligations with respect thereto as the Class CE Grantor Trust and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently with this treatment.  Funds in the Class CE Grantor Trust Subaccount shall remain uninvested.  In addition, the Securities Administrator shall treat any interests in the Exchangeable REMIC Certificates beneficially owned in the form of Exchangeable Certificates and rights with respect thereto and the Exchangeable Certificate Grantor Trust Subaccount as assets of the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust.  Each beneficial owner of Exchangeable REMIC Certificates that elects to hold its interest in the Exchangeable REMIC Certificates in the form of an Exchangeable Certificate pursuant to Sections 5.07 and 5.08 of this Agreement shall be deemed to have instructed the Securities Administrator to deposit the applicable Exchangeable REMIC Certificates into the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust and all distributions in respect of such Exchangeable REMIC Certificates shall be deposited into the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust Subaccount.  Funds in the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust Subaccount shall remain uninvested.  The Securities Administrator hereby designates the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust Subaccount as a sub-account of the Distribution Account. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to deposit all distributions in respect of the Exchangeable REMIC Certificates deemed received by it from the Distribution Account pursuant to this Section 9.04(a) in the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor  -117-   Trust Account and shall immediately distribute such amounts in respect of the related Exchangeable Certificates. Any beneficial owner of an Exchangeable Certificate that exchanges such Exchangeable Certificate for the related Exchangeable REMIC Certificates shall be deemed to have instructed the Securities Administrator to remove such Exchangeable REMIC Certificates from the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust, so that distributions on such Exchangeable REMIC Certificates are made directly from the Distribution Account to such beneficial owner. (b) The Securities Administrator shall account for the Class CE Grantor Trust and the Exchangeable Certificates Grantor Trust and the respective assets and rights and obligations with respect thereto as, for United States federal income tax purposes, separate grantor trusts as described in Subpart E of Part I of Subchapter J of the Code and Treasury regulation §301.7701-4(c)(2) and not as assets of any Trust REMIC.  The Securities Administrator shall apply for taxpayer identification numbers for the grantor trusts on IRS Form SS-4 and any similarly required state or local forms for each grantor trust.  The Securities Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the related Certificates and shall file or cause to be filed such forms as may be required by the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar state or local laws with respect to the allocable shares of income and expenses with respect to the assets of the respective grantor trust at the time and in the manner required by the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar state or local laws.  The Trustee shall sign any such forms presented by the Securities Administrator to the Trustee for signature. (c) Each grantor trust shall be treated as a WHFIT that is a NMWHFIT unless or until otherwise required by applicable law.  The Securities Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator to do so, and is not in its possession, is provided to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis.  The Depositor shall pay for any tax reporting penalties that may arise as a result of the Depositor incorrectly determining the status of a grantor trust as a WHFIT. (d) The Securities Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method.  The Securities Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder or other beneficial owner of a Certificate uses the cash or accrual method.  The Securities Administrator will make available information as required by the WHFIT Regulations to Certificateholders annually.  In addition, the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder. (e) Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator may assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests. (f) To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Securities Administrator will use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates  -118-   that represent ownership of a WHFIT.  The Securities Administrator will make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received.  The Securities Administrator will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information. ARTICLE X
TERMINATION  Section 10.01. Termination. (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and the Certificate Registrar created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Securities Administrator to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Securities Administrator upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, and (iii) the optional purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Interim Subservicer or the Servicer as described below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof. The Interim Subservicer may, at its option, terminate the Trust Fund and retire the Certificates on the next succeeding Distribution Date (or any subsequent Distribution Date) upon which the aggregate current Pool Balance is less than 10% of the aggregate Pool Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, by purchasing all of the outstanding (i) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Interest Rates in effect for the Collection Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Monthly Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and (ii) REO Properties in the Trust Fund at a price equal to their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer (the Termination Price).  To the extent the Interim Subservicer does not exercise this option on any applicable Distribution Date, the Servicer may exercise such option.  If either the Interim Subservicer or the Servicer is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve or the Office of Thrift Supervision or similar regulatory agency, the option may not be exercised unless the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties is greater than or equal to the Termination Price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Interim Subservicer nor the Servicer may exercise this optional purchase right unless any Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof has been paid. Any such purchase shall be accomplished by delivery before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account as part of Available Funds.  -119-   (b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Securities Administrator for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator upon the Securities Administrator and the Servicer receiving notice of such date from the Interim Subservicer no later than the 5th day of the month of such final distribution (and if the Securities Administrator and the Servicer do not receive such notice by the 5th day of the month of such final distribution, the Servicer may give notice to the Securities Administrator no later than the 10th day of the month of such final distribution), by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not later than the 15th day of the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution (to the extent determinable at the time such notice is given) and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein specified.  Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor and the Interim Subservicer or the Servicer, as the case may be, of the amount of any unpaid Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust. (c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.01 and 4.02 for such Distribution Date. (d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall on such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to continue to be held by the Securities Administrator in an Eligible Account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within nine months after the final Distribution Date all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholder shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto and the Securities Administrator upon transfer of such funds to the Class R Certificateholder shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and all other Certificateholders shall look to the Class R Certificateholder for payment.  Section 10.02. Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event that the Interim Subservicer or the Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on prohibited  -120-   transactions of any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code on any Trust REMIC or (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding: (i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in the notice given pursuant to Section 10.01, the Securities Administrator shall adopt a plan of liquidation for the Trust REMICs created hereunder specifying the first day in the 90-day liquidation period and meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder.  The Securities Administrator shall attach such plans of liquidation to each Trust REMICs final tax return; (ii) After the date of adoption of such plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Interim Subservicer or the Servicer for cash; and (iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited in the order of priority set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 and then to the Class R Certificateholder, all cash on hand in respect of each Trust REMIC after such payment (other than cash retained to meet claims) in complete liquidation of the Trust REMICs and the Trust shall terminate at such time. (b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby appoint the Securities Administrator as their attorney in fact to:  (i) adopt such plans of complete liquidation and (ii) to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such plans of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee and without the consent of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or the Supplemental Memorandum, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) to preserve the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC, to prevent the imposition of any United States federal income tax on the Trust and otherwise to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code and (v) to preserve the accounting treatment of the transfers of the Mortgage Loans from the Sellers to the Depositor and from the Depositor to the Trust; provided, however, that any such action listed in clause (iii) above shall not adversely affect in any respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Trustee.  -121-   The Interim Subservicer and the Servicer may amend the Delegated Authority Guidelines without the consent of the Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee as set forth in Section 10 thereof. In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Interim Subservicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee, with the consent of the Majority Certificateholders 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, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates which are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a majority of the Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement (other than any amendment to the Delegated Authority Guidelines by the Servicer and the Interim Subservicer), the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person seeking such amendment) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and any conditions precedent have been satisfied.  The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustees or Securities Administrators own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. Other than any amendment to the Delegated Authority Guidelines by the Servicer and the Interim Subservicer, unless 100% of the Certificateholders consent, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless they shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking such amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition of United States federal income tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms hereof. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment; instead 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 Securities Administrator may prescribe.  Section 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

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 together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof. No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding.  It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders.
