    THIS
      POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of December 1, 2006, among FIRST
      HORIZON ASSET SECURITIES INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
“Depositor”), FIRST HORIZON HOME LOAN CORPORATION, a Kansas corporation, as
      master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a banking
      corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, as trustee (the
      “Trustee”).

     

    WITNESSETH
      THAT

     

    In
      consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
      agree as follows:

     

    PRELIMINARY
      STATEMENT

     

    The
      Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee
      in return for the Certificates. The Trust Fund for federal income tax purposes
      will consist of three separate REMICs, each having assets as provided herein.
      The Certificates will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in
      the
      Trust Fund. The Regular Certificates will represent “regular interests” in the
      Upper REMIC. The Class I-A-R Certificates will represent the residual interests
      in the Lower REMIC, Middle REMIC and Upper REMIC, as described in Section 2.7.
      The “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of each
      REMIC regular interest created hereby will be the Latest Possible Maturity
      Date.

     

    The
      following table sets forth characteristics of the Certificates, together with
      the minimum denominations and integral multiples in excess thereof in which
      such
      Classes shall be issuable (except that one Certificate of each Class of
      Certificates may be issued in a different amount and, in addition, one Residual
      Certificate representing the Tax Matters Person Certificate may be issued in
      a
      different amount):

      above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because
      such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public

      interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated

      office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such documents
      to
      the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt
      thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The

      the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office
      requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any
      equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with
      the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall
      execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to
      the
      public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains
      the
      original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
      recordation in a public recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause
      to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf a copy of such
      Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete
      copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

     

    In
      addition, in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor
      cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original or duplicate original
      lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying the
      requirements of clause (v) above, concurrently with the execution and delivery
      hereof because the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable
      public recording office, the Depositor shall promptly deliver or cause to be
      delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such original or
      duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon
      receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, but in no event shall any
      such delivery of the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy be
      made later than one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, in
      the
      event the Depositor is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered by such date
      the original or duplicate original lender’s title policy (together with all
      riders thereto) because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the
      appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
      delivered such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as
      promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days
      following the Closing Date; provided further, however, that the Depositor shall
      not be required to deliver an original or duplicate lender’s title policy
      (together with all riders thereto) if the Depositor delivers an Alternative
      Title Product in lieu thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding, in connection
      with
      any Mortgage Loan for which either the original or duplicate original title
      policy has not been delivered to the Trust, if at any time during the term
      of
      this Agreement the parent company of the Seller does not have a long term senior
      debt rating of A- or higher from S&P and A- or higher from Fitch (if rated
      by Fitch), then the Depositor shall within 30 days deliver or cause to be
      delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (if it has not
      previously done so) a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report
      of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow company with respect to
      the
      Mortgaged Property.

    Subject
      to the immediately following sentence, as promptly as practicable subsequent
      to
      such transfer and assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30) days
      thereafter, the Master Servicer shall (i) complete each assignment of Mortgage,
      as follows: “First Horizon Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-FA8,
      The Bank of New York, as trustee for the holders of the Certificates”, (ii)
      cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate
      public office for real property records and (iii) cause to be delivered for
      recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the
      assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any
      assignments of Mortgage as to which the Master Servicer has not received the
      information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Master
      Servicer’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall
      be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event
      within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      the Master Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates
      to a Mortgage Loan in any state other than the Required Recordation
      States.

     

    In
      the
      case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date,
      the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee or
      the
      Custodian on its behalf, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion
      of
      such payment that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account
      pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof.

     

    Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty days after the Closing
      Date, the Depositor shall either (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
      Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage File as required pursuant
      to
      this Section 2.1 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute
      or
      cause to be substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery
      Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase or cause to be repurchased the Delay Delivery
      Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the
      manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 (treating each
      Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such
      Section 2.3), provided, however, that if the Depositor fails to deliver a
      Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty-day period
      provided in the prior sentence, the Depositor shall use its best reasonable
      efforts to effect or cause to be effected a substitution, rather than a
      repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure
      period provided for in Section 2.2 or in Section 2.3 shall not apply to the
      initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan,
      but
      rather the Depositor shall have five (5) Business Days to cure or cause to
      be
      cured such failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty-day period, the Trustee
      or the Custodian, on its behalf shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for
      the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such thirty-day period in
      accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to
      the
      contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust
      Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.

    SECTION
      2.2 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

     

    The
      Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of
      the
      documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto
      as
      Exhibit E and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will hold such
      documents and the other documents delivered to it or the Custodian, as
      applicable, constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it or the Custodian,
      as
      applicable, holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust
      Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
      Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that the Custodian will maintain
      possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Texas, unless otherwise
      permitted by the Rating Agencies.

     

    The
      Trustee agrees to execute and deliver or to cause the Custodian to execute
      and
      deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Master Servicer an Initial
      Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E. Based on its or the
      Custodian’s review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in
      such Initial Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
      acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to
      such
      Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be under any duty
      or
      obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
      certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable
      or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
      recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they
      purport to be on their face.

     

    On
      or
      about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver
      or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer
      a Delay Delivery Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, with
      any
      applicable exceptions noted thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      contained in this Agreement, none of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund is
      or
      will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.

     

    Not
      later
      than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver or shall cause
      the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a Subsequent
      Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with any applicable
      exceptions noted thereon.

     

    If,
      in
      the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the
      Trustee, finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does
      not meet the requirements of Section 2.1, the Trustee shall list or shall cause
      the Custodian to list such as an exception in the Subsequent Certification;
      provided, however that neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any
      determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
      right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
      thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable
      form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
      thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall
      promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so
      notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect
      within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related
      Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
      accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
      2.3, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from
      the
      date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price
      of
      such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution
      or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if
      the
      substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is
      required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
      recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer
      or
      the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document,
      then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing
      Date. The Trustee shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver written
      notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating
      each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording
      office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such
      Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until
      the
      related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf.
      Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above
      shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
      Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant
      to
      (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee
      of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L. No substitution
      is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date
      for
      such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited
      by
      the Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account
      Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of
      repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect
      thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto (delivery of which to the Custodian
      will
      be by electronic data transmission or email), the Trustee shall cause the
      Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute
      and deliver at the Seller’s request such instruments of transfer or assignment
      prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
      to
      vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan
      released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller
      repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
      shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage
      in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall
      cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in
      accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on
      the MERS® System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage
      Loan.

    The
      Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain possession and
      custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and
      conditions set forth herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to
      the
      Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, upon the execution or receipt thereof,
      the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage
      File as come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to
      time.

     

    It
      is
      understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to substitute for or
      to
      purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section
      2.1
      above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to
      the
      Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against the
      Seller.

     

    The
      mortgage loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be included in the
      Trust Fund are limited to (i) the Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor acquired
      pursuant to the MLPA, which contains, among other representations and
      warranties, a representation and warranty of the Seller that no Mortgage Loan
      is
      a “high cost loan” as defined by the specific applicable local, state or federal
      predatory and abusive lending laws, and (ii) Substitute Mortgage Loans (which,
      by definition as set forth in this Agreement and referred to in the MLPA, are
      required to conform to, among other representations and warranties, a
      representation and warranty of the Seller set forth in the MLPA that no
      Substitute Mortgage Loan is a “high cost loan” as defined by the specific
      applicable local, state or federal predatory and abusive lending laws). It
      is
      therefore understood and agreed by the parties hereto that it is not intended
      that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a “high cost loan”
as defined by the specific applicable local, state or federal predatory and
      abusive lending laws.

              The
                Master Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties set
                forth
                in Schedule II hereto and by this reference incorporated herein,
                to the
                Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified
                therein, as of the Cut-off Date.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              Upon
                discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation
                or
                warranty made pursuant to Schedule B to the MLPA that materially
                and
                adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any
                Mortgage
                Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice
                thereof
                to the other parties. The Seller hereby covenants that within 90
                days of
                the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from
                any
                party of a breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant
                to
                Schedule B to the MLPA which materially and adversely affects the
                interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall
                cure
                such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so
                cured,
                shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary
                of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”)
                from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage
                Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this
                Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
                Loans
                from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below;
                provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above
                shall
                not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion
                of
                Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any such
                substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to
                the
                additional delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf
                of a
                Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M (delivery
                of
                which to the Custodian will be by electronic data transmission or
                email)
                and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. The
                Seller
                shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for
                any
                expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee
                in
                respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to
                the
                representations and warranties described in this Section which are
                made to
                the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the
                Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such
                representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially
                and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the
                interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the
                Seller’s
                lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation
                or
                warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable
                representation or warranty.

    With
      respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall deliver
      to
      the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf for the benefit of the
      Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment
      of
      the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section
      2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required
      by
      Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month
      after
      the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect
      to
      Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of
      the
      Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding
      Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
      Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage
      Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all
      amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer
      shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders
      to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of
      the
      Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the
      amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the
      Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
      Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with
      respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
      substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Schedule
      B to
      the MLPA with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and
      the
      deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited
      therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following
      paragraph, the Trustee shall, upon the delivery to the Trustee of a Request
      for
      Release in the form of Exhibit L, release or shall cause the Custodian to
      release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
      relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and shall execute and
      deliver at the Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment
      prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
      to
      vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted
      Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.

     

    For
      any
      month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans
      for
      one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the
      amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute
      Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated
      Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of
      the
      scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of
      substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment
      Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with
      respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Certificate
      Account by the Seller on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for
      the
      Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the
      related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced
      hereunder.

     

    In
      the
      event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase
      Price
      therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
      3.5
      on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date
      in
      the month following the month during which the Seller became obligated hereunder
      to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the
      Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section
      2.5
      and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the
      Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian to release the related
      Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person,
      and
      the Trustee shall execute and deliver or shall cause the Custodian to execute
      and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of transfer or
      assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall
      be
      necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that
      the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure, repurchase or replace
      any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
      constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such breach available
      to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their
      behalf.

    After
      giving effect to the sale of the Certificates by the Depositor to the
      Underwriters, and thereafter, so long as any Certificates remain outstanding,
      the Seller, its affiliates and agents, collectively, shall not beneficially
      own
      Certificates the aggregate fair value of which would represent 90% or more
      of
      the beneficial interests in the Trust Fund.

     

    The
      representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall survive
      delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the Custodian for
      the benefit of the Certificateholders.

     

    SECTION
      2.4 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage
      Loans.

     

    The
      Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each
      Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that
      as
      of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it
      pursuant to the MLPA and immediately prior to the conveyance of the Mortgage
      Loans by it to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, the Depositor
      had
      good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no
      offsets, defenses or counterclaims.

     

    It
      is
      understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
      this
      Section 2.4 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee. Upon
      discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
      representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4 (referred to herein
      as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of
      the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
      written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

     

    SECTION
      2.5 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
      Substitutions.

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              Notwithstanding
                any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant
                to
                Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 shall be made more than 90 days after
                the
                Closing Date unless the Depositor delivers to the Trustee an Opinion
                of
                Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of
                either
                the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect
                that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the
                tax on
                “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the
                Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the
                Code,
                respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to
                qualify
                as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
                outstanding.

              (b)

            	
              Upon
                discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer 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 promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of
                discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
                therewith, the Trustee shall require the Depositor to cause the Seller,
                pursuant to the MLPA and at the Seller’s option, to either (i) substitute,
                if the conditions in Section 2.3(b) with respect to substitutions
                are
                satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan,
                or
                (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such
                discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach
                of
                representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.3. The Trustee
                shall
                reconvey or shall cause the Custodian to reconvey to the 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 contained in Section
                2.3.

            


    

     

    SECTION
      2.6 Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

     

    The
      Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and,
      concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered
      to or
      upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations
      evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The
      Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above
      for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to
      perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability,
      to
      the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be
      adequately
      and
      effectively protected.

     

    SECTION
      2.7 REMIC Matters. 

     

    The
      Preliminary Statement sets forth the “latest possible maturity date” for federal
      income tax purposes of all REMIC regular interests created hereby. 

     

    The
      assets of the Lower REMIC shall be as set forth in the definition thereof.
      Each
      interest identified in the first table below by a designation beginning with
“L”
shall be a “regular interest” in the Lower REMIC and a Lower REMIC Interest, and
      the RL Interest shall be the sole class of residual interest in the Lower REMIC.
      The Lower REMIC Interests shall be uncertificated and shall be held by the
      Trustee as assets of the Middle REMIC. 

     

    The
      assets of the Middle REMIC shall be as set forth in the definition thereof.
      Each
      interest identified in the second table below by a designation beginning with
      “M” shall be a “regular interest” in the Middle REMIC and a Middle REMIC
      Interest, and the RM Interest shall be the sole class of residual interest
      in
      the Middle REMIC. The Middle REMIC Interests shall be uncertificated and shall
      be held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper REMIC. 

     

    The
      assets of the Upper REMIC shall be as set forth in the definition thereof.
      The
“regular interests” in the Upper REMIC are represented by the Regular
      Certificates. The Class I-A-3 Certificates shall also represent the right to
      receive the Yield Supplement Amount, which shall not be a part of any REMIC
      hereunder but shall constitute contractual rights coupled with regular interests
      within the meaning of Treasury regulations section 1.860G-2(i). The RU Interest
      shall be the sole class of residual interest in the Upper REMIC. The
      Class I-A-R Certificate shall represent ownership of the RL Interest, RM
      Interest and RU Interest.

    The
      “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions for each REMIC hereunder
      shall be the Closing Date. The Tax Matters Person with respect to each REMIC
      hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters Person
      Certificate. Each REMIC’s taxable year shall be the calendar year and its
      accounts shall be maintained using the accrual method.

      (provided that with respect to M-B-1, M-B-2, M-B-3, M-B-4, M-B-5 and M-B-6,
      such
      Lower REMIC Interests shall only correspond to the portion supported by
      Pool I). The Lower REMIC Interest L-I-PO corresponds to the Middle REMIC
      Interest M-I-PO. The Lower REMIC Interest L-II-A-1, Lower REMIC L-II-A-2 and
      Lower REMIC Interest L-II-ZZZ shall be Corresponding Classes to these classes

      (provided that with respect to M-B-1, M-B-2, M-B-3, M-B-4, M-B-5 and M-B-6,
      such
      Lower REMIC Interests shall only correspond to the portion supported by Pool
      II). The Lower REMIC Interest L-II-PO corresponds to the Middle REMIC Interest
      M-II-PO. 

     

    “L1
      Interests” refers to the L-I-A-1 Lower REMIC Interest and the L-II-A-1 Lower
      REMIC Interest. “L2 Interests” refers to the L-I-A-2 Lower REMIC Interest and
      the L-II-A-2 Lower REMIC Interest. “LZZZ Interests” refers to L-I-ZZZ Lower
      REMIC Interest and L-II-ZZZ Lower REMIC Interest. “LPO Interests” refer to the
      L-I-PO Lower REMIC Interest and the L-II-PO Lower REMIC Interest. Each L1
      Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Group
      Subordinate Amount of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. Each L2 Interest shall
      have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount
      of its corresponding Mortgage Pool. The initial principal balance of each
      LZZZ Interest shall equal the excess of the Pool Principal Balance of its
      corresponding Mortgage Pool over the sum of (i) the initial principal balances
      of the L1 Interests and L2 Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool, and
      (ii) the portion of the LPO Interest attributable to the Discount Mortgage
      Loans
      in the Mortgage Pool corresponding to such LZZZ Interest.

     

    Unless
      a
      Cross-over Situation (as defined below) exists, principal and Realized Losses
      arising with respect to each Mortgage Pool shall be allocated first to cause
      the
      L1 and L2 Interests corresponding to such Mortgage Pool to equal 0.9% and 0.1%
      of the Group Subordinate Amount of such Mortgage Pool as of such Distribution
      Date (after distributions of principal and allocation of Realized Losses are
      made) and all excess principal and Realized Losses shall be allocated to the
      LZZZ Interest corresponding to such Mortgage Pool. A L1, L2 or LZZZ Interest
      that is allocated principal on any Distribution Date shall receive such
      principal, and have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such
      principal, on such Distribution Date. Similarly, a L1, L2 or LZZZ Interest
      that
      is allocated a Realized Loss on any Distribution Date shall have its principal
      balance reduced by the amount of such Realized Loss on such Distribution Date.

    A
      “Cross-over Situation” exists if on any Distribution Date (after taking into
      account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such
      Distribution Date) the L1 and L2 Interests corresponding to any Mortgage Pool
      are in the aggregate less than 1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of the
      corresponding Mortgage Pool. If a Cross-over Situation exists on any
      Distribution Date, and the weighted average interest rate of the outstanding
      L1
      and L2 Interests is less than the Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Subordinate
      Certificates for the following Distribution Date, a Principal Reallocation
      Payment (as defined below) shall be made proportionately to the outstanding
      L1
      Interests prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Mortgage
      Pool so that the Calculation Rate equals the Pass-Through Rate for each Class
      of
      Subordinate Certificates. If a Cross-over Situation exists on any Distribution
      Date, and the weighted average rate of the outstanding L1 and L2 Interests
      is
      greater than the Pass-Through Rate for any Class of Subordinate Certificates
      for
      the following Distribution Date, a Principal Reallocation Payment shall be
      made
      proportionately to the outstanding L2 Interests prior to any other distributions
      of principal from each such Mortgage Pool so that the Calculation Rate equals
      the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinate Certificates. A “Principal
      Reallocation Payment” is a distribution of the minimum amount of principal that
      causes the Calculation Rate (as defined below) with respect to the outstanding
      L1 and L2 Interests to equal the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinate
      Certificates. The “Calculation Rate” shall equal the product of (i) 10 and (ii)
      the weighted average interest rate of the outstanding L1 and L2 Interests,
      treating each L1 Interest as capped at zero or reduced by a fixed percentage
      of
      100% of the interest accruing on such class. Principal Reallocation Payments
      shall be made from principal received on the Mortgage Loans from a Mortgage
      Pool
      and shall also consist of a proportionate allocation of Realized Losses from
      the
      Mortgage Loans of a Mortgage Pool. For purposes of making Principal Reallocation
      Payments, to the extent that the principal received during the applicable
      collection period from the related Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools and related
      Realized Losses are insufficient to make the necessary reduction of principal,
      then interest shall accrue on the LZZZ Interest (and be added to its principal
      balance) of the related Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools to allow the necessary
      Principal Reallocation Payment to be made. The Calculation Rate is designed
      to
      always equal the Pass-Through Rate of each Class of Subordinated
      Certificates.

     

    If
      a
      Cross-over Situation exists, the aggregate principal balances of the outstanding
      L1 and L2 Interests of all of the Mortgage Pools shall not be reduced below
      one
      percent of the aggregate Pool Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Pools
      for
      the following Distribution Date in excess of the Senior Certificates as of
      the
      related Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal
      and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date). To the extent
      this limitation prevents the distribution of principal to the L1 and L2
      Interests of a Mortgage Pool and the related LZZZ Interest has already been
      reduced to zero, such excess principal from such Mortgage Pool shall be paid
      proportionately to the LZZZ Interests of the Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools
      whose aggregate L1 and L2 Interests are less than one percent of the related
      Group Subordinate Amount. Any such shortfall as a result of the Mortgage Pool
      or
      Mortgage Pools receiving the extra payment having a Designated Mortgage Pool
      Rate (as defined below) lower than the Designated Mortgage Pool Rate of the
      Mortgage Pool or Mortgage Pools from which the payment was reallocated shall
      be
      treated as a Realized Loss and if excess arises as a result of the Mortgage
      Pool
      receiving the extra payment having a Designated Mortgage Pool Rate higher than
      the Mortgage Pool from which the payment was reallocated it shall reimburse
      the
      Middle REMIC for prior Realized Losses.

      Interest M-B-2, Middle REMIC Interest M-B-3, Middle REMIC Interest M-B-4, Middle
      REMIC Interest M-B-5, Middle REMIC Interest M-B-6 shall equal the Calculation
      Rate as defined in this Section 2.7. The Pass-Through Rate on each Class of
      Subordinated Certificates is variable and will be equal to the weighted average
      of the Middle REMIC Interest Rates on Middle REMIC Interest M-B-1, Middle REMIC
      Interest M-B-2, Middle REMIC Interest M-B-3, Middle REMIC Interest M-B-4, Middle

    On
      each
      Distribution Date Available Funds shall be distributed with respect to the
      Middle REMIC Interests in a manner such that:

     

    
      	 	
              (i)

            	
              interest
                accrued, if any, on each Middle REMIC Interest is distributed with
                respect
                to each such Middle REMIC Interest in the same manner that Accrued
                Certificate Interest is distributed with respect to the Corresponding
                Class or Classes of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2;
                and

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (ii)

            	
              principal
                is distributed (and Realized Losses shall be allocated) with respect
                to
                each such Middle REMIC Interest in the same manner that principal
                is
                distributed (and Realized Losses is allocated) with respect to the
                Corresponding Class or Classes of Certificates pursuant to
                Section 4.2 and
                Section 4.4.

            


    

     

    The
      Class
      L-I-PO Interest shall be entitled to receive the Class PO Principal Distribution
      Amount for Pool I.

     

    The
      Class
      L-II-PO Interest shall be entitled to receive the Class PO Principal
      Distribution Amount for Pool II.

     

    The
      foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage
      Loans to flow through to the Upper REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular
      interest, without creating any shortfall-actual or potential (other than for
      credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest. To the extent that the structure
      is believed to diverge from such intention the Trustee shall resolve ambiguities
      to accomplish such result and shall to the extent necessary rectify any drafting
      errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval
      (but with guidance of counsel) to accomplish such intention.

    ADMINISTRATION
      AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

     

    SECTION
      3.1 Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

     

    For
      and
      on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and
      administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of (i) the
      Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement, pursuant to which First
      Tennessee Mortgage Services, Inc. engaged the Master Servicer to subservice
      the
      Mortgage Loans, (ii) this Agreement and (iii) the customary and usual standards
      of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers;
      provided that if there is a conflict between the terms of the Servicing
      Agreement and the Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement, on
      the
      one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement
      shall prevail.
      In
      connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall
      have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as
      provided in Section 3.2 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things
      that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
      administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject
      to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
      Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
      instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
      Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
      in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance
      Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure
      or
      other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any
      Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action
      that
      is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the
      Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the
      Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The
      Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund
      in
      the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own
      portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan,
      and
      shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage
      Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a
      REMIC
      or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
      of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
      Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee,
      is
      hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
      Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute
      and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders
      or
      any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
      partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments,
      with
      respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties
      held
      for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare
      and
      deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution
      and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable
      the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent
      that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents
      pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the
      Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them
      to
      the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered
      by
      the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own
      name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the
      Subservicer as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment
      to
      register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the
      registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver,
      on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and
      all
      instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to
      such
      assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee
      for the Trustee and its successors and assigns.

    In
      accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer
      shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
      effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
      which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
      collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.6, and further as provided
      in Section 3.8. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting
      the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and
      related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
      distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal
      Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
      Mortgage Loans so permit.

     

    SECTION
      3.2 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers.

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              The
                Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage
                Loan by a
                Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however,
                that
                such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing
                agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in
                a
                manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder.
                Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement
                to
                actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing
                the
                Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer
                on
                behalf of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of
                any
                subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
                to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a
                Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or
                otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable
                to the
                Depositor, the Trustee 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 Master Servicer alone were servicing
                and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer
                performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be
                performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same force
                and
                effect as if performed directly by the Master
                Servicer.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              For
                purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to
                have
                received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to
                the
                Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether
                such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master
                Servicer.

            


    

     

    SECTION
      3.3 Rights of the Depositor 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. Neither the Trustee nor the
      Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure
      to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be
      obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or
      otherwise.

    SECTION
      3.4 Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.

     

    In
      the
      event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master
      Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee
      or
      its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the
      Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall
      not
      be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.9
      hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer hereunder),
      (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable
      law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage
      Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions
      of
      Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, (iv) responsible for
      expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3 or (v) deemed to have
      made any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer hereunder).
      Any
      such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.2 hereof. If the Master Servicer
      shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason
      of
      any Event of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights
      and obligations of the Master Servicer under each subservicing
      agreement.

     

    The
      Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the
      Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
      relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement
      and
      the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts
      collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly
      and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming
      party.

      3.5 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account; Distribution
      Account.

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              The
                Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with
                the
                customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers
                to
                collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of
                the
                Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent
                with this
                Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance
                Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in
                its
                discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge
                or
                penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage
                Loan and
                (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for
                a period
                not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
                cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date
                on
                which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan
                as of
                the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master
                Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance
                with the provisions of Section 4.1 during the scheduled period in
                accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
                modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Master Servicer
                shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect
                to
                collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note
                or
                otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect
                to
                a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing
                the
                provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such
                payment is required is prohibited by applicable
                law.

              The
                Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Certificate Account.
                The
                Certificate Account shall consist of two separate subaccounts, each
                of
                which shall relate to a particular Mortgage Pool. The Master Servicer
                shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the appropriate subaccount
                of
                the Certificate Account no later than two Business Days after receipt,
                except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments
                and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect
                of
                the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
                respect
                of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before
                the
                Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited

              all
                payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans in the related
                Mortgage Pool, including Principal

                payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans in the related
                Mortgage Pool, net of the related Master Servicing Fee, any Prepayment
                Interest Excess and, for so long as First Horizon is the Master Servicer,
                any Retained Yield;

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

              any
                amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer in respect

                of the
                related Mortgage Pool pursuant to Sections 3.9(b) or
                3.9(d);

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (vi)

            	
              any

                Mortgage Loan in the related Mortgage
                Pool;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (vii)

            	
              all
                Advances in respect of the related Mortgage Pool made by the Master
                Servicer pursuant to Section 4.1;

              any
                other amounts required to be deposited hereunder in respect of the
                related
                Mortgage Pool.

    In
      addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown
      agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly
      payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds to
      be
      deposited into the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account in an amount
      required to cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage
      Loan equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan
      from
      the preceding Due Date at the related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on such
      date.

     

    The
      foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be exclusive,
      it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
      foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment charges,
      assumption fees or amounts attributable to reimbursements of Advances, if
      collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer. In the event that the
      Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may
      at
      any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Certificate Account
      to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein
      to
      the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished
      by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution
      maintaining the Certificate Account which describes the amounts deposited in
      error in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate
      records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All
      funds
      deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the
      Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.8.

              The
                Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders,
                the Distribution Account. The Distribution Account shall consist
                of two
                separate subaccounts, each of which shall relate to a particular
                Mortgage
                Pool. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the
                Distribution Account and retain therein the
                following:

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (i)

            	
              the
                aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in
                respect
                of a Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section
                3.8(a)(ix);

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (ii)

            	
              any
                amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section
                3.5(c) in
                connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
                and

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (iii)

            	
              any
                other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited
                in
                the Distribution Account.

            


    

     

    In
      the
      event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
      remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from
      the
      applicable subaccount of the Distribution Account, any provision herein to
      the
      contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering
      an
      Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
      error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution
      Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the related Certificateholders
      until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance
      with Section 3.8. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals
      from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master
      Servicer.

              The
                institution at which the Certificate Account is maintained shall
                invest
                funds as directed by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments
                which
                shall mature not later than the second Business Day next preceding
                the
                related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted
                Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such
                account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than
                the
                Business Day next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date)
                and
                shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. If the Master
                Servicer does not provide such prior written investment direction,
                the
                funds in the Certificate Account will be held uninvested. All such
                Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for
                the
                benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any
                losses
                realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate
                Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing

              The
                Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan,
                hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount not to exceed
                the
                highest value placed by the insurer on the improvements securing
                such
                Mortgage Loan. The required coverage under any such hazard insurance
                policy will be equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate principal
                amount
                of all liens against the related Mortgaged Property, including the
                proposed loan/line amount as long as it equals at least 80% of the
                value
                of the improvements/replacement cost of the structure, and (ii) the
                replacement cost of the insurable improvements securing such Mortgage
                Loan. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain,
                or have
                an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause.
                Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies
                (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair
                of the
                related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in
                accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall
                be deposited in the applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account.
                Any
                cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
                shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
                the
                Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit,
                be
                added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
                that
                the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable
                by the Master Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor
                or
                out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.8
                hereof.
                It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
                insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property
                acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable
                laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
                require
                such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at
                the
                time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated
                special
                flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national
                flood
                insurance program, the Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance
                to be
                maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance
                shall
                be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the original principal
                balance
                of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value of the
                improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (iii)
                the

                Property under the national flood insurance

              (b)

            	
              In
                the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
                policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans,
                it
                shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as
                set
                forth in the first sentence of this Section, it being understood
                and
                agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms
                substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained
                by
                comparable servicers. If such policy contains a deductible clause,
                the
                Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been
                maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with
                the
                first sentence of this Section, and there shall have been a loss
                that
                would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the applicable
                subaccount of the Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable
                under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection
                with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the
                Master
                Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and
                the
                Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims under any
                such
                blanket policy.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (c)

            	
              The
                Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result in
                non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any
                loss
                which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer, would have been
                covered
                thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew
                any
                such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the
                initial
                issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force
                hereunder
                unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled
                or
                non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified
                Insurer.

            


    

     

    The
      Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy
      (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than
      or
      equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal,
      the
      principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new
      appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is
      prohibited by applicable law.

     

    The
      Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each
      Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be
      recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related liquidation
      proceeds.

     

    
      	 	
              (d)

            	
              In
                connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage
                Loans,
                the Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee
                and
                Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance
                Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall
                be
                necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies
                respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the
                Master
                Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited
                in the
                applicable subaccount of the Certificate
                Account.

    SECTION
      3.10 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              Except
                as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject
                to a
                Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer
                shall to
                the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any
                due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to
                the
                extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations,
                but
                only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect
                or
                jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding
                the foregoing, the Master Servicer is not required to exercise such
                rights
                with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related
                Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed
                satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note
                and
                Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such
                Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such
                Mortgage
                Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that
                the
                Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale
                clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would
                be
                adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder,
                the Master Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to
                take or
                enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with
                the
                person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed,
                pursuant
                to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and,
                unless
                prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable
                thereon,
                provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if
                so
                covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by the
                applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer, subject
                to
                Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the
                insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a
                substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to
                which
                the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person
                is
                substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
                Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed
                to
                be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption
                which the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by
                law from
                preventing, for any reason
                whatsoever.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              Subject
                to the Master Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the
                extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which
                a
                Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor,
                and such
                Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement
                or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the
                signature
                of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee
                is
                required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan,
                the
                Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared
                and
                delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing,
                the
                Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom
                the
                Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement
                or
                supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments
                as are
                reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note
                or
                Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding
                assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person.
                In
                connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage
                Note
                may be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged
                Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance
                with its
                underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such
                substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered
                to the
                Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an
                Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
                requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith.
                The
                Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution
                or
                assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee
                the
                original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the
                case
                of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall,
                for
                all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same
                extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
                thereof.
                Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption
                or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master
                Servicer as additional servicing
                compensation.

    SECTION
      3.11 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage
      Loans.

     

    The
      Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise
      comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
      Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
      arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection
      with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall follow
      such
      practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall
      be
      normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and meet the
      requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided,
      however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds
      in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property
      unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will
      increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement
      to
      itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to
      it
      through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
      purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Master Servicer
      shall
      be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
      proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
      thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged
      Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master
      Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer
      is
      contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is
      located within a 1 mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for
      the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with
      environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the Master
      Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks
      and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review
      procedures.

    With
      respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
      in
      the name of the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its
      nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall ensure
      that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing
      Agreement and the Trust Fund’s capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to
      sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through
      an
      agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property
      in
      the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such
      REO Property is located. The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting
      and
      withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to
      foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H
      of
      the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals
      and
      any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the
      cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such
      tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and
      delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.

     

    In
      the
      event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or
      otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan,
      the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close
      of the third taxable year after the taxable year of its acquisition by the
      Trust
      Fund unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel
      to
      the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property
      subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes
      on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F
      of the Code or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
      at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust
      Fund
      may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions
      contained in such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision
      of
      this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented
      (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production
      of
      income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any
      terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
      (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or
      local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under
      Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has agreed
      to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition
      of
      any such taxes.

     

    In
      the
      event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not a
      United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
      Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of
      foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the
      Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
      Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that
      no
      withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such
      foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure
      are
      required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.

     

    The
      decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall
      be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the proceeds of such
      foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding.
      The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of
      reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred (including any
      property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of
      unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances, shall
      be
      applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted
      Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still
      current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this
      Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related
      Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the applicable subaccount of the
      Certificate Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar
      month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and
      accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan
      for
      such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment
      of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.

    The
      proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from
      an
      REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
      reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
      and Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any
      unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the applicable subaccount of the
      Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that
      were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii)
      that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest
      (to
      the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has
      been
      reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Adjusted Net
      Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts
      are
      required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the
      Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated
      Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing

      such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by
      delivering, or causing to be delivered a “Request for Release” substantially in
      the form of Exhibit M. Upon receipt of such request, the Trustee shall or shall
      cause the Custodian to promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master

      partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or
      the
      making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the
      other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery
      to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit L signed by
      a
      Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. Subject
      to
      the further limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall cause the
      Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee or its
      Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless
      the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the
      applicable subaccount of the Certificate Account, in which case the Master
      Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of
      Exhibit M, signed by a Servicing Officer.

      respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Master
      Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature,
      as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other
      documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought

      of this Agreement. The Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create,
      incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
      Certificate Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds
      that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit

      Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such
      funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer
      under
      this Agreement.

              In

                amount, net of reimbursable expenses (an “Unanticipated Recovery”), in
                respect of principal of a Mortgage Loan which had previously been
                allocated as a Realized Loss to any Class of Certificates pursuant
                to
                Section 4.4, on the Distribution Date in the next succeeding calendar
                month, the Trustee shall withdraw the Unanticipated Recovery from

                priority, the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates
                to
                which such Realized Losses were previously allocated by the amount

                Losses

                of
                payment priority described in Section 4.2(a) of this Agreement. Holders
                of
                any Class of Certificates for which the Class Certificate Balance
                has been
                increased by the amount of any Unanticipated Recovery will not be

                any such increase for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the

                allocated
                among all outstanding Classes of Certificates entitled thereto in
                accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to the remainder
                of this
                subsection (g). In the event that (i) any Unanticipated Recovery
                remains
                undistributed in accordance with the preceding sentence or (ii) the
                amount

                previously allocated to any outstanding Classes with respect to the
                related Mortgage Loan, on the applicable Distribution Date the Trustee
                shall distribute such Unanticipated Recoveries in accordance with

                priorities set forth in Section 4.2(a)(iii).

      Percentage of the principal portion of the Realized Loss previously allocated
      thereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or all Mortgage Loans for purposes
      of the next to last sentence of the preceding paragraph), and (ii) with respect

      (in proportion to the Class Certificate Balances thereof with respect to such
      Distribution Date) of the applicable Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion
      of any such Realized Loss previously allocated with respect to such Mortgage
      Loan (or Loans); provided
      however, that (i) the share of an Unanticipated Recovery allocable to a
      Principal Only Certificate with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Loans) shall
      be
      reduced by the applicable PO Percentage of the aggregate amount previously
      distributed to such Class in respect of such Mortgage Loan (or Loans) and (ii)
      the amount by which the distributions to the Principal Only Certificates have
      been so reduced shall be distributed to the Classes of Certificates described
      in
      clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph in the same proportion as described
      in
      such clause (ii). For purposes of the preceding sentence, any Class PO Deferred
      Amount distributable to a Principal Only Certificate on previous Distribution
      Dates shall be deemed to have been allocated in respect of the Mortgage Loans
      as
      to which the applicable PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized
      Losses has previously been allocated to such Class on a pro
      rata
      basis
      (based on the amount of Realized Losses so allocated).

     

    
      	 	
              (h)

            	
              On
                any Distribution Date on which any Certificate Group constitutes
                an
                Undercollateralized Group, all amounts otherwise distributable as
                principal on the Subordinated Certificates, in reverse order of priority
                (or, following the Cross-over Date, such other amounts described
                in the
                immediately following sentence), will be distributed as principal
                to the
                Senior Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group (other than
                the
                Principal Only Certificates) in accordance with the priorities set
                forth
                in Section 4.2(a)(iii), until the total Class Certificate Balance
                of such
                Senior Certificates equals the Pool Principal Balance of the related
                Mortgage Pool (such distribution, an “Undercollateralization
                Distribution”). If the Senior Certificates of a Certificate Group (other
                than the Principal Only Certificates) constitute an Undercollateralized
                Group on any Distribution Date following the Cross-over Date,
                Undercollateralization Distributions will be made from the excess
                of the
                Available Funds for the other Mortgage Pools remaining after all
                required
                amounts for that Distribution Date have been distributed to the Senior
                Certificates of the other Certificate Group (other than the Principal
                Only
                Certificates). In addition, the amount of any unpaid Accrued Certificate
                Interest with respect to an Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution
                Date (including any Accrued Certificate Interest for the related
                Distribution Date) will be distributed to the Senior Certificates
                of the
                Undercollateralized Group (other than the Principal Only Certificates)
                prior to the payment of any Undercollateralization Distributions
                from
                amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinated
                Certificates, in reverse order of priority (or, following the Cross-over
                Date, as provided in the preceding sentence). Except as provided
                otherwise
                in this Section 4.2(h), no distribution of principal will be made
                to any
                Class of Subordinated Certificates until each Undercollateralized
                Group is
                no longer undercollateralized.

    In
      addition, if on any Distribution Date the total Class Certificate Balance of
      the
      Senior Certificates of a Certificate Group (other than the Principal Only
      Certificates) (after giving effect to distributions to be made on that
      Distribution Date) has been reduced to zero, all amounts otherwise distributable
      as prepayments of principal to the Subordinated Certificates, in reverse order
      of priority, will instead be distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates
      of the other Certificate Group (other than the Principal Only Certificates)
      unless (a) the weighted average of the Subordinated Percentages for the Mortgage
      Pools, weighted on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
      Loans in the related Mortgage Pool (other than the Principal Only Certificates),
      is at least two times the weighted average of the initial Subordinate Percentage
      for the Mortgage Pools (calculated on such basis), (b) the aggregate Stated
      Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pools delinquent
      60
      days or more (including for this purpose any Mortgage Loans in foreclosure
      or
      subject to bankruptcy proceedings and Mortgage Loans with respect to which
      the
      related Mortgaged Property has been acquired by the Trust Fund), averaged over
      the preceding six month period, as a percentage of the then current aggregate
      Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinated Certificates, is less than 50%,
      and (c) the cumulative Realized Losses in all of the Mortgage Pools do not
      exceed (i) 20% of the Original Subordinated Principal Balance if such
      Distribution Date occurs between and including January 2007 and December 2009,
      and 30% of the Original Subordinated Principal Balance if such Distribution
      Date
      occurs on or after January 2010. Except as provided otherwise in this Section
      4.2(j), all distributions described above will be made in accordance with the
      priorities set forth in Section 4.2(a) through (c) and (e).

              All
                distributions with respect to each Class of Certificates on each
                Distribution Date shall be made pro
                rata
                among the outstanding Certificates of such Class, based on the Percentage
                Interest in such Class represented by each Certificate. Payments
                to the
                Certificateholders on each Distribution Date will be made by the
                Trustee

                check or

                in the
                Certificate Register, or upon written request by such Certificateholder
                to
                the Trustee made not later than the applicable Record Date, by wire
                transfer to a U.S. depository institution acceptable to the Trustee,
                or by

                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 financial intermediary for which it acts as agent. Each
                such

                with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository
                and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions

                accurate determination of the amount required to be withheld for
                a
                distribution can be made within a reasonable period after the scheduled
                date for such distribution, it may hold such distribution in trust

              On
                each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the
                Subordinated Certificate Writedown Amount, if any. Any such Subordinated
                Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect, without duplication of
                any
                other provision in this Section 4.4 that provides for a reduction
                in the
                Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinated Certificates, a
                corresponding reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of the
                Subordinated Certificates, which reduction shall occur on such
                Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such
                Distribution Date.

              Notwithstanding
                the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made
                on a
                Distribution Date to a Class of Certificates to
                the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of
                the
                aggregate Class Certificate Balances of all the Senior Certificates
                of a
                related Certificate Group as of such Distribution Date plus the
                Apportioned Principal Balances of the Subordinated Certificates of
                such
                Certificate Group as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect
                to all
                distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on such date,
                to an
                amount less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
                Loans in the related Mortgage Pool as of the first day of the month
                of
                such Distribution Date, less any Deficient Valuations occurring on
                or
                prior to the Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date (such limitation,
                the

                allocate the amount of any such termination payment between the Reserve
                Fund and the Corridor Residual Owner, as follows, (A) with respect
                to the
                Reserve Fund, an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the
                numerator of which is the lesser of (x) the Corridor Contract Notional
                Amount for the first Distribution Date on or after the early termination

                immediately prior to the first Distribution Date on or after the
                early
                termination, and the denominator of which is the Corridor Contract
                Notional Amount for the first Distribution Date on or after the early
                termination and (ii) the termination payment amount, and (B) with

                (A)
                above, if any. The Trustee shall apply the portion of any termination
                payment that is allocated to the Reserve Fund on future Distribution
                Dates
                to pay any Yield Supplement Amounts on the Class I-A-3 Certificates,

              On
                each LIBOR Determination Date so long as any LIBOR Certificates are
                outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of the
                British
                Bankers’ Association (“BBA”) “Interest Settlement Rate” for one-month
                deposits in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00
                a.m.
                London time on each LIBOR Determination Date. “Telerate Page 3750” means
                the display page currently so designated on the Bridge Telerate Service
                (formerly the Dow Jones Markets) or such other page as may replace
                that
                page on that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates
                or
                prices. LIBOR for the initial LIBOR Determination Date will be equal
                to
                the Initial LIBOR Rate. 

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              If
                LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section
                4.9, the Trustee shall either (i) request each Reference Bank inform
                the
                Trustee of the quotation offered by such Reference Bank’s principal London
                office for making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading
                banks
                in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
                such
                LIBOR Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request,
                rely

                (i)
                above, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will be established
                by

                follows:

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (i)

            	
              If
                on any LIBOR Determination Date two or more Reference Banks provide
                such
                offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period shall
                be
                the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic
                mean upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of
                1/32%).

              If
                on any LIBOR Determination Date only one or none of the Reference
                Banks
                provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual
                Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined
                on the
                previous LIBOR Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate.
                The
                “Reserve Interest Rate” shall be the rate per annum which the Trustee
                determines to be either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards
                if
                necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month
                United
                States dollar lending rates that New York City banks selected by
                the
                Trustee are quoting, on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date, to
                the
                principal London offices of at least two of the Reference Banks to
                which
                such quotations are, in the opinion of the Trustee, being so made,
                or (ii)
                in the event that the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean,
                the
                lowest one-month United States dollar lending rate which New York
                City
                banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such LIBOR Determination
                Date

                determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph

    The
      Master Servicer shall designate at least four Reference Banks. Until all of
      the
      LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will refer to the four
      Reference Banks designated by the Master Servicer to determine LIBOR with
      respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. Each “Reference Bank” shall be a
      leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
      Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common
      control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of business in
      London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as
      such,
      the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another
      Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any
      Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining
      LIBOR or (ii) any inability of the Master Servicer to designate at least four
      Reference Banks.

                Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding

    In
      determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates, any
      Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may
      conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations
      (whether written, oral or on the Bridge Telerate Service) from the BBA
      designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR,
      the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate,
      in
      effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
      responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee’s selection of New York City
      banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its
      inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations
      from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks
      or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section

    The
      Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits.
      The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum
      denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate
      in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of
      the
      applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set

      in the Preliminary Statement.

     

    Subject
      to Section 9.2 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates,
      on
      each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each
      Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
      transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a
      bank
      or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder
      has
      so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record
      Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance
      of any Class of Certificates or (B) Certificates of any Class with aggregate
      principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed
      by
      first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder
      appearing in the Certificate Register.

     

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

     

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

     

    SECTION
      5.2 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
      Certificates.

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              The
                Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with
                the
                provisions of Section 5.6 hereof, a Certificate Register for the
                Trust
                Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c)
                below
                and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
                shall
                provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
                exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for
                registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute
                and
                deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
                one or
                more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage
                Interest.

            


    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        91

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    At
      the
      option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
      Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
      same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
      exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates
      are
      so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and
      deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
      entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
      of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
      in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or
      his
      attorney duly authorized in writing.

     

    No
      service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration
      of
      transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover
      any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
      transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.

     

    All
      Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
      cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
      Trustee’s customary procedures.

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              No
                transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer
                is
                made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
                Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
                registration requirements under said Act and such state securities
                laws.
                In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption
                from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance
                with
                the Securities Act and such laws, any Holder of a Private Certificate
                (other than a Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate)
                desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective
                transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts
                surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in
                Exhibit I
                (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i) deliver a letter in substantially
                the form of either Exhibit J (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit K (the
                “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the
                expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer
                may be
                made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act.
                

            


    

     

    Each
      Holder of a Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, by its
      acquisition thereof (or a beneficial interest therein), shall be deemed to
      have
      represented and warranted for the benefit of the Depositor, the Servicer and
      the
      Trustee that (a) it understands that the Private Certificates are not being
      registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and are being
      transferred to it in a transaction that is exempt from the registration
      requirements of the Securities Act and any such laws, (b) it has such knowledge
      and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of
      evaluating the merits and risks of investments in the Private Certificates,
      (c)
      it has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the
      Depositor concerning the purchase of the Private Certificates and all matters
      relating thereto or any additional information deemed necessary to its decision
      to purchase the Private Certificates, (d) neither it, nor any anyone acting
      on
      its behalf, has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of
      the
      Private Certificates or any interest therein, or solicited any offer to buy
      or
      accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Private Certificates
      or
      any interest therein from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect
      to
      the Private Certificates or any interest therein with, any person in any manner,
      or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any
      other
      manner, or taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of
      the
      Private Certificates under the Securities Act or that would render the
      disposition of the Private Certificates a violation of Section 5 of the
      Securities Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will it act, nor
      has it authorized or will authorize any person to act, in such manner with
      respect to the Private Certificates, (e) it is a “qualified institutional buyer”
as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), (f)
      it is aware that the sale of the Private Certificates to it is being made in
      reliance on Rule 144A, (g) it is acquiring the Private Certificates for its
      own
      account or for resale pursuant to Rule 144A and it understands that the Private
      Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only (A) to a person whom
      it
      reasonably believes to be a qualified institutional buyer that purchases for
      its
      own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice
      is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule
      144A, or (B) pursuant to another exemption from registration under the
      Securities Act; and (h) it understands that no representation is made as to
      the
      availability of the exemption provided by Rule 144A for resales of the Private
      Certificates.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        92

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    The
      Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any
      prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding
      the
      related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall
      be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule
      144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof
      under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by
      Rule
      144A. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor
      in
      providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence,
      including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the
      Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund
      as
      the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the
      preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect
      such
      transfer shall, and by its acceptance of a Private Certificate does hereby
      agree
      to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer
      against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is
      not
      made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

     

    No
      transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (in the form of a Definitive
      Certificate) shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a Transferor
      Certificate from the related transferor and either (i) a representation from
      the
      transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
      satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private
      Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a
      representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
      J
      or Exhibit K), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit
      plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement
      subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such
      plan or arrangement, nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to
      effect such transfer, (ii) in the case of a Private Certificate (that has been
      subject to an ERISA-Qualified Underwriting) or a Residual Certificate, if the
      purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an
      insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained
      in
      an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e)
      of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the
      purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and
      III
      of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate
      presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject
      to
      ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or
      comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such
      plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement,
      or
      using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
      the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the
      Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to
      the
      Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted
      Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA
      and Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor
      or
      the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken
      in this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the
      contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate
      to or
      on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without
      the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
      as described above shall be void and of no effect.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        93

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    Each
      Holder of a Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, by its
      acquisition thereof (or a beneficial interest therein) shall be deemed to have
      represented and warranted for the benefit of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
      Trustee and the other Certificateholders, that (a) it is not an employee benefit
      plan or arrangement that is subject to Section 406 of ERISA, or a plan or
      arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of
      1986, as amended, nor is it acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement
      or
      using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such acquisition,
      or
      (b) if it is an insurance company, in the case of Private Certificates that
      have
      been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, it is purchasing the
      Private Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general
      account” (as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
      95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and its purchase and holding of the Private Certificates
      are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.

     

    To
      the
      extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
      the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
      of
      transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted
      by
      this Section 5.2(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
      Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
      the
      provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the
      Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall be
      entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted
      Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any such
      Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either
      such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
      delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that
      is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.

              (c)

            	
              No
                transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Yield Supplement Certificate in the
                form
                of a Definitive Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall
                have
                received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate
                to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor
                a
                Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any
                such
                Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding
                of the
                ERISA-Restricted Yield Supplement Certificate are eligible for exemptive
                relief under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE
                90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60 or PTCE 96-23. Any purported transfer
                of an
                ERISA-Restricted Yield Supplement Certificate in the form of a Definitive
                Certificate on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee
                of a
                representation letter as described above shall be void and of no
                effect.
                If the ERISA-Restricted Yield Supplement Certificate is a Book-Entry
                Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation
                as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as
                applicable.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (d)

            	
              If
                any ERISA-Restricted Yield Supplement Certificate, or any interest
                therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the
                preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner
                will be
                treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate, retroactive
                to the
                date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported
                beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted
                Yield
                Supplement Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation
                of
                the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the
                extent
                permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, Custodian, the
                Trustee,
                and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities,
                claims,
                costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition
                or holding.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (e)

            	
              To
                the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited
                to,
                ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
                any
                registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Yield Supplement
                Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.2(b)
                or for
                making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
                or
                taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
                of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee
                in
                accordance with the foregoing
                requirements.

            


    

     

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial
      issuance of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or ERISA-Restricted Yield
      Supplement Certificate that is registered in the name of the Depository or
      its
      nominee.

              Each
                Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual

                with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer
                its
                Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer
                of
                an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person
                if it
                has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
                Transferee.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (iv)

            	
              Any
                attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
                Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c)
                shall be
                absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
                Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
                a
                Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
                5.2(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
                to
                all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
                of
                Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under
                no
                liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
                Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.2(b) and this
                Section 5.2(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate
                to the
                Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
                under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
                registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
                Certificate and, in the case of a Residual Certificate which is also
                a
                Private Certificate, either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment
                Letter.
                The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any
                Holder
                of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee
                at
                the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became
                other
                than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual
                Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered
                by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the
                last
                preceding Permitted Transferee of such
                Certificate.

              The
                Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt
                of
                written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute
                any
                tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer
                of
                an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who
                is not a

    The
      restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section
      5.2(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a
      Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after
      delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
      shall
      not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master
      Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not
      cause
      any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
      the
      Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
      Trust
      Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring
      any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any
      amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished
      to
      the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership
      of,
      or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
      directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and
      (b)
      to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which
      is
      held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
      Permitted Transferee.

                to
                above in this Section 5.2 in connection with transfer shall be at
                the
                expense of the parties to such
                transfers.

              Except
                as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times
                remain
                registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all
                times:
                (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
                Trustee
                except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
                book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with
                respect
                to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii)
                ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates
                on
                the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules
                established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its
                usual
                and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;
                (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants
                and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate
                Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising
                the
                rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions
                for
                and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent
                if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
                (vi)
                the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
                information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
                Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect
                to
                indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such
                indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate
                Owners.

    All
      transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in
      accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or
      brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant
      shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents
      or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
      Depository’s normal procedures.

     

    If
      (x)
      (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
      Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
      responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
      to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises the
      Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
      the
      Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate
      Owners representing at least 51% of the Class Certificate Balance of the
      Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through
      the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
      system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the
      Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through
      the
      Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
      definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to
      Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
      related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions
      from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
      Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall
      be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may
      conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
      The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of
      certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates.
      Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to
      obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
      to
      be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with
      respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
      Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
      that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations
      become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the
      Depository.

     

    SECTION
      5.3 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

     

    If
      (a)
      any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives
      evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
      Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee
      such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
      harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate
      has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute,
      countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
      destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor
      and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
      under this Section 5.3, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient
      to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
      thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
      connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
      5.3 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if
      originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
      shall be found at any time.

      5.4 Persons Deemed Owners.

     

    The
      Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee
      may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner
      of
      such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in
      this
      Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master
      Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall
      be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     

    SECTION
      5.5 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.

     

    If
      three
      or more Certificateholders or Certificate Owners (a) request such information
      in
      writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders or Certificate
      Owners desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to
      their
      rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy
      of
      the communication which such Certificateholders or Certificate Owners propose
      to
      transmit, or if the Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such information
      in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days
      after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer
      or
      such Certificateholders or Certificate Owners at such recipients’ expense the
      most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the
      Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder or Certificate Owner,
      by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be
      held
      accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
      of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
      information was derived.

     

    SECTION
      5.6 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     

    The
      Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or
      offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates may be
      surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially
      designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee will give
      prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location
      of any such office or agency.

      rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the United States
      or
      under the laws of one of the states thereof and will each obtain and preserve
      its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction
      in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity
      and
      enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform

    Any
      Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or
      consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
      the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding
      to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor
      of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without
      the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any
      of
      the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
      however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall
      be
      qualified to sell mortgage loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf
      of,
      FNMA or FHLMC.

     

    SECTION
      6.3 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
      Others.

     

    None
      of
      the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees
      or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability
      to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking
      of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
      judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
      Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of
      representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the
      Master Servicer or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise
      be
      imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
      the
      performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
      duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer,
      employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer may rely in good
      faith
      on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
      any
      Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master
      Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the
      Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against
      any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit,
      controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority
      or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than
      any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
      Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
      reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense
      incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
      the
      performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
      obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer
      shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
      that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its
      opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that
      either the Depositor or the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake
      any
      such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement
      and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee
      and
      the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs
      of
      such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs
      and
      liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall
      be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the applicable subaccount of the
      Certificate Account.

     

    SECTION
      6.4 Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer.

     

    The
      Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
      on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer and receipt by the
      Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and
      appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the
      Certificates, or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
      permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b)
      permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an
      Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation
      shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer shall
      have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
      obligations hereunder.

    If
      an
      Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (v) of this Section shall occur,
      then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
      not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or at the direction of the Holders
      of
      Certificates evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights evidenced
      by
      the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice in writing to the Master Servicer
      (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations
      of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
      and
      the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder.
      If
      an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section shall occur, the
      Trustee shall immediately, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with
      a
      copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of
      the
      Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and
      proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. In
      addition, if during the period that the Depositor is required to file Exchange
      Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall fail
      to
      observe or perform any of the obligations set forth in Section 3.16(a) or
      Section 10.1(a)(i) and (ii), and such failure continues for the lesser of ten
      (10) calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report
      can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions), so long as
      such failure shall not have been remedied, the Trustee shall, but only at the
      direction of the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
      the
      Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
      proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. The
      Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
      the
      Master Servicer if a failure of the Master Servicer to identify a Subcontractor
      “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
      Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such
      Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.
      On
      and after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all
      authority and power of the Master Servicer hereunder, whether with respect
      to
      the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
      Trustee or
      another successor to the Master Servicer appointed by the Trustee pursuant
      to
      Section 7.2. The Trustee, in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer,
      shall thereupon make any Advance which the Master Servicer failed to make
      subject to Section 4.1 hereof. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
      to
      execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact
      or
      otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
      all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
      such
      notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
      assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless
      expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect
      any
      obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII.
      The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the
      termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder,
      including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts
      which shall at the time be credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter
      be
      received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. All expenses incurred in the
      transferring of the servicing duties from the Master Servicer to a Successor
      Servicer shall be paid by the Master Servicer, and if not paid by the Master
      Servicer, shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Certificate
      Account.

    Notwithstanding
      any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master
      Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled
      Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating such
      Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and
      received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Master Servicer
      would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.8(a)(i) through (viii),and
      any
      other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to
      which
      arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder. Any termination
      of
      the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder will simultaneously result
      in
      the termination of the Master Servicer’s duties as a subservicer pursuant to the
      Servicing Rights Transfer and Subservicing Agreement.

     

    If
      the
      Master Servicer is terminated, the Trustee shall provide the Depositor in
      writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor,
      all
      information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its
      reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor
      master servicer in the event the Trustee should succeed to the duties of the
      Master Servicer as set forth herein.

     

    SECTION
      7.2 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

     

    On
      and
      after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant
      to
      Section 7.1 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided
      in
      Section 3.4, be the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement and
      the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all
      the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
      Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including
      the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.1. As compensation
      therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
      Loans that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the
      Certificate Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had continued
      to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become
      the
      successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof, the
      Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited
      by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof or if
      it
      is otherwise unable to so act appoint, or petition a court of competent
      jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution
      the
      appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the
      Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer
      hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
      or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master
      Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved
      seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $10,000,000,
      and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers
      to
      the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and
      assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers,
      duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer
      (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.3 hereof incurred
      prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.1), with like effect
      as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that
      each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
      immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
      reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation. The Trustee shall
      provide written notice to the Depositor of such successor pursuant to this
      Section. The successor to the Master Servicer shall provide to the Depositor
      in
      writing, fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such appointment,
      and
      in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information
      reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting
      obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement master
      servicer. The Trustee shall not resign as servicer until a successor servicer
      has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of
      a
      successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee
      is
      prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.4 hereof, act
      in
      such capacity as provided above. In connection with such appointment and
      assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of
      such
      successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
      agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the
      Master Servicing Fee permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and
      such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
      be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any
      other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder
      by
      reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
      hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in
      performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused
      by
      the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in
      delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to
      it.

    Any
      successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice to the
      Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
      as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master
      Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.17.

     

    In
      connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder,
      either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee
      is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it
      is a
      member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
      respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
      of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the predecessor
      Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer either (x)
      in
      causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable
      form
      to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver
      such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or
      desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such
      mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer or (y) in
      causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor Master Servicer as
      the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file
      or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office.
      The successor Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to
      the
      Trustee promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon
      or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment
      was
      recorded.

      VIII

    CONCERNING
      THE TRUSTEE

     

    SECTION
      8.1 Duties of Trustee.

     

    The
      Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible
      Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the curing of all Events
      of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and
      only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an
      Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
      knowledge has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such
      of
      the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree
      of
      care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use
      under
      the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

     

    The
      Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
      reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that
      are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
      Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required
      by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible
      for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement,
      opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument
      is
      found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this
      Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument
      in
      the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a
      satisfactorily corrected instrument.

     

    The
      Trustee is hereby directed to execute and deliver to The Depository Trust
      Company the Issuer Letter of Representations dated as of the Closing Date on
      behalf of the trust created hereunder. The Depositor and the Master Servicer
      acknowledge and agree that the Trustee is executing and delivering the Issuer
      Letter of Representations on behalf of the trust created hereunder and shall
      do
      so solely in its capacity as Trustee and not in its individual
      capacity.

     

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

              unless
                an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
                has
                actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, the duties
                and
                obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
                provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except
                for
                the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
                set
                forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall
                be read
                into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively
                rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
                opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished
                to
                the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement
                which it
                believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed
                by the
                proper authorities respecting any matters arising
                hereunder;

                faith by
                a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless
                it
                shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
                the
                pertinent facts;

      8.5 Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.

     

    The
      Trustee, as compensation for its activities prior to making the distributions
      pursuant to Section 4.2 hereunder, shall be entitled to withdraw from the
      Distribution Account on each Distribution Date an amount equal to the Trustee
      Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee
      or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer and held
      harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s
      fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to
      (a)
      this Agreement, (b) the Certificates or (c) in connection with the performance
      of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or
      expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
      in
      the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder or incurred by reason
      of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders
      and (ii) resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared
      by
      the Master Servicer. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this
      Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without
      limiting the foregoing, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees, except as
      otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except
      for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee’s
      negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee,
      for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
      the
      Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect
      to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
      counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates,
      (B)
      the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant,
      engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the
      extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services
      hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing
      any Definitive Certificates. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee
      shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing
      expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as
      Trustee, Registrar, Tax Matters Person or Paying Agent hereunder or for any
      other expenses.

     

    SECTION
      8.6 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

     

    The
      Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized
      and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America,
      authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
      capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
      examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would
      not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current
      ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to
      time
      as is sufficient to avoid such reduction). If such corporation or association
      publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
      requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for
      the
      purposes of this Section 8.6 the combined capital and surplus of such
      corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
      surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
      case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
      the
      provisions of this Section 8.6, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
      manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.7 hereof. The entity serving
      as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor
      and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however,
      that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the
      Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.

    SECTION
      8.7 Resignation and Removal of Trustee.

     

    The
      Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
      by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Master Servicer
      and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such
      notice when, subject to Section 8.8, such resignation is to take effect, and
      acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the
      qualifications set forth in Section 8.6. If no successor trustee meeting such
      qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within
      30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee
      may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
      successor trustee.

     

    As
      a
      condition to the effectiveness of any such resignation, at least 15 calendar
      days prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Trustee shall provide
      (x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor pursuant to this Section
      and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
      Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to
      comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect
      to
      the resignation of the Trustee.

     

    If
      at any
      time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
      provisions of Section 8.6 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request
      thereto by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting,
      or
      shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or
      of
      its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
      control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
      rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with
      respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund
      is
      located, (B) the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment
      of a
      different trustee and (C) the Trustee fails to indemnify the Trust Fund against
      such tax, or (iv) during the period that the Depositor is required to file
      Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the Trustee fails to comply
      with its obligations under the last sentence of Section 7.1, Section 8.9 or
      Article X and such failure is not remedied within the lesser of ten (10)
      calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can
      be
      filed timely (without taking into account any extensions), then, in the case
      of
      clauses (i) through (iii), then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove
      the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
      triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee,
      one
      copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the
      successor trustee.

     

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

    Any
      resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
      pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.7 shall become effective
      upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section
      8.8 hereof.

     

    SECTION
      8.8 Successor Trustee.

     

    Any
      successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.7 hereof shall execute,
      acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and
      the
      Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon
      the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective
      and
      such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
      become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
      its
      predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
      herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall
      execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
      be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
      trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

     

    No
      successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.8
      unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible
      under the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof and its appointment shall not
      adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.

     

    Upon
      acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section
      8.8, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder
      to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice
      within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the
      successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
      Depositor.

     

    SECTION
      8.9 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

     

    Any
      corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
      it
      may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
      or
      consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
      succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
      hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions
      of Section 8.6 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further
      act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
      notwithstanding.

     

    The
      Trustee shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor
      due
      to merger or consolidation of the trustee pursuant to this Section within five
      (5) days of the effectiveness of such merger or consolidation and (y) in writing
      and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all
      information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its
      reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement
      Trustee.

     

    SECTION
      8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
      any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund
      or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master
      Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
      and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
      Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or
      separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund,
      and
      to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of
      the
      Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever
      is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such
      powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the
      Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not
      have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
      request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and
      be
      continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.
      No
      co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
      of
      eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.6 and no notice to
      Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
      shall be required under Section 8.8.

    Every
      separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
      appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
      conditions:

     

    
      	 	
              (i)

            	
              To
                the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10,
                all
                rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon
                the
                Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
                by
                the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being
                understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized
                to
                act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to
                the
                extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
                act
                or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor
                to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent
                or
                unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
                powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
                the
                applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
                shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee
                or
                co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the
                Trustee;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (ii)

            	
              No
                trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any
                act or
                omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall
                not,
                and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee
                or
                co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (iii)

            	
              The
                Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
                trustee or co-trustee; and

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (iv)

            	
              The
                Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment
                of
                reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any
                such
                separate trustee or co-trustee.

    Any
      notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
      been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
      effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
      separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
      of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
      of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
      in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
      as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
      specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
      of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
      such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to
      the
      Master Servicer and the Depositor.

     

    Any
      separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its
      agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
      prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
      on
      its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
      become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
      properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
      Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
      successor trustee.

     

    SECTION
      8.11 Tax Matters.

     

    It
      is
      intended that the assets with respect to which each REMIC election is to be
      made, as set forth in the preliminary statement shall constitute, and that
      the
      conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such
      assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in
      accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the
      Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is
      hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC and that in such
      capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed,
      in a
      timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return
      (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and
      prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue
      Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information
      returns for each taxable year with respect to any such REMIC, containing such
      information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code
      or
      state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be
      furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at
      such
      times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days
      of
      the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
      Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name,
      title, address, and telephone number of the person that the Holders of the
      Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
      such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such
      information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make
      or
      cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal
      tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable
      state
      law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the
      Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state
      tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to
      be
      provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without
      limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment
      assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
      on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
      Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of
      a
      Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted
      Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing
      and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such
      tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct matters relating
      to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to
      maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly
      or
      intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
      termination of any REMIC status; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the
      last
      paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax,
      including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such
      REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable
      (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate
      Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not
      prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law,
      pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or
      local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such
      other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or
      local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such
      REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities
      thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined
      at
      such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare
      the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and
      when
      necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or
      judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
      taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year
      of
      any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing
      agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such
      REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax
      matter or controversy involving it.

    In
      order
      to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor
      shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten (10) days
      after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in
      writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and
      offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price,
      yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and
      the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee
      promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or
      data
      that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable
      the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby
      indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses
      of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that
      result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided,
      accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis.

     

    In
      the
      event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as
      defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure
      property” of any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any
      contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d)
      of
      the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for
      herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises
      out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under
      this Agreement which breach was caused by its negligence or willful misconduct,
      (ii) the Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax
      arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of their
      obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises
      out
      of or results from the Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan
      pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event
      that
      the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Seller fails to honor its obligations
      under the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with
      amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided
      in
      Section 3.8(b).

    Each
      Class I-A-3 Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership
      of
      regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest
      in
      the Corridor Contract. For tax purposes, the Corridor Contract shall be deemed
      to have a value $260,000 as of the Closing Date.

     

    ARTICLE
      IX

    TERMINATION

     

    SECTION
      9.1 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Mortgage Loans.

     

    Subject
      to Section 9.3, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
      Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund
      shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Master Servicer
      of
      all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at the
      price
      equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage
      Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan that has been foreclosed and subject to clause
      (ii)) plus one month’s accrued interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted
      Mortgage Rate, (ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property
      as
      determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent
      appraisers selected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the Master Servicer
      and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO
      Property, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted
      Mortgage Rate, and (iii) any costs and damages incurred by the Trust in
      connection with the noncompliance of such Mortgage Loan with any specifically
      applicable predatory or abusive lending law, and (b) the later of (i) the
      maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the
      last
      Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO
      Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required
      to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the
      trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of
      21
      years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy,
      the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on
      the date hereof, and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The right to
      purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) above
      shall be conditioned upon the aggregate of the Pool Principal Balances of all
      of
      the Mortgage Pools, at the time of any such repurchase, being less than ten
      percent (10%) of the aggregate Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance of all of
      the
      Mortgage Pools. The Master Servicer will deposit the funds for such purchase
      into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.5(b)viii).

     

    SECTION
      9.2 Final Distribution on the Certificates.

     

    If
      on any
      Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding
      Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the
      funds in the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee
      promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If
      the
      Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of
      Section 9.1, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the
      affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor
      and
      the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust
      Fund
      and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO
      Properties.

    Notice
      of
      any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which
      Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final
      distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter
      to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and no later than
      the
      15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution.
      Any
      such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final
      distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender
      of
      Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final
      distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such
      presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise
      applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being
      made
      only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein
      specified. The Master Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency
      at
      the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

     

    In
      the
      event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in the
      Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the applicable
      subaccounts of the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the
      applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in
      respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust
      Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the
      Trustee shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for
      the
      Mortgage Loans.

     

    Upon
      presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
      be
      distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the order set forth
      in
      Section 4.2 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in the case of the
      Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests,
      with
      respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as
      to
      each Class of Regular Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof plus
      accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest bearing Certificate, and
      (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on
      deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet
      claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above. 

     

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

      of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the SEC
      promulgated thereunder (including any interpretations thereof by the SEC’s
      staff)). No later than March 15 of each year in which a Form 10-K is required
      to

      as Exhibit N-1 (in the case of a Subservicer) and Exhibit N-2 (in the case
      of

              (a)

            	
              On
                or before March 15 of each calendar year, in which a Form 10-K is
                required
                to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund, commencing in
                2007:

            


    

     

    (i) Each
      of
      the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the
      Master Servicer a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
      the
      Depositor) regarding the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable,
      assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately
      preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the
      Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by
      an
      authorized officer of such Person and shall address each of the Servicing
      Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit
      O
      hereto, unless such other form is mutually agreed upon and delivered to the
      Depositor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. To the extent
      any
      of the Servicing Criteria are not applicable to such Person, with respect to
      asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving such Person
      and
      that are backed by the same asset type backing the Certificates, such report
      shall include such a statement to that effect. The Depositor and the Master
      Servicer, and each of their respective officers and directors shall be entitled
      to rely upon each such servicing criteria assessment.

     

    (ii) Each
      of
      the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the
      Master Servicer a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
      acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
      of
      compliance made by Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and delivered
      pursuant to the preceding paragraphs. Such attestation shall be in accordance
      with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act
      and
      the Exchange Act, including, without limitation that in the event that an
      overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm
      shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such
      report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use
      language. To the extent any of the Servicing Criteria are not applicable to
      such
      Person, with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole
      involving such Person and that are backed by the same asset type backing the
      Certificates, such report shall include such a statement that that
      effect.

     

    (iii) The
      Master Servicer shall cause each Subservicer that is a Reporting Subcontractor
      engaged by it to deliver to the Depositor an assessment of compliance and
      accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
      Section 10.7.

     

    (iv) The
      Trustee shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor engaged by it to deliver to
      the
      Depositor and the Master Servicer an assessment of compliance and accountants’
attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
      Section.

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              Each
                assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section
                10.7(a)(iii) shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
                on a
                certification substantially in the form of Exhibit O hereto delivered
                to
                the Depositor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or,
                in the
                case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior
                to the
                date of such appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by
                a
                Subcontractor pursuant to Section 10.7(a)(iii) or (iv) need not address
                any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified
                by the
                Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to Section
                10.7(a)(i).

    SECTION
      10.8 Use of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              The
                Master Servicer shall cause any Subservicer that is a Reporting
                Subcontractor used by the Master Servicer (or by any Subservicer)
                for the
                benefit of the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Section
                3.16 and
                this Article X to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the
                Master
                Servicer (except with respect to the Master Servicer’s duties with respect
                to preparing and filing any Exchange Act Reports or as the Certifying
                Person). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from
                each
                Subservicer that is a Reporting Subcontractor and delivering to the
                Depositor any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered
                by
                such Subservicer under Section 3.16, any assessment of compliance
                and
                attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section
                10.7 and any certification required to be delivered to the Certifying
                Person under Section 10.5 as and when required to be delivered. As
                a
                condition to the succession to any Subservicer as subservicer under
                this
                Agreement by any Person (i) into which such Subservicer may be merged
                or
                consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to any
                Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Depositor,
                at least
                fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession
                or appointment, (x) written notice to the Depositor of such succession
                or
                appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably
                satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested
                by the
                Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under
                Item 6.2
                of Form 8-K.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              It
                shall not be necessary for the Master Servicer or any Subservicer
                to seek
                the consent of the Depositor or any other party hereto to the utilization
                of any Subcontractor. The Master Servicer shall promptly upon request
                provide to the Depositor (or any designee of the Depositor, such
                as the
                Master Servicer or administrator) a written description (in form
                and
                substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function
                of each
                Subcontractor utilized by such Person (or in the case of the Master
                Servicer or any Subservicer), specifying (i) the identity of each
                such
                Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
                “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122
                of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria
                will
                be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor
                who is a Reporting Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii)
                of
                this paragraph.

            


    

     

    
      	 	 	
              As
                a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to
                be a
                Reporting Subcontractor, the Master Servicer shall cause any such
                Subcontractor used by such Person (or in the case of the Master Servicer
                or any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with
                the
                provisions of Sections 10.7 and 10.9 of this Agreement to the same
                extent
                as if such Subcontractor were the Master Servicer (except with respect
                to
                the Master Servicer’s duties with respect to preparing and filing any
                Exchange Act Reports or as the Certifying Person). The Master Servicer
                shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering
                to the Depositor and the Master Servicer, any assessment of compliance
                and
                attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under
                Section
                10.7, in each case as and when required to be
                delivered.

    SECTION
      10.9 Amendments.

     

    In
      the
      event the parties to this Agreement desire to further clarify or amend any
      provision of this Article X, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect the
      new
      agreement between the parties covering matters in this Article X pursuant to
      Section 11.1, which amendment shall not require any Opinion of Counsel or Rating
      Agency confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder. If, during the
      period that the Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect
      to the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer is no longer an Affiliate of the
      Depositor, the Depositor shall assume the obligations and responsibilities
      of
      the Master Servicer in this Article X with respect to the preparation and filing
      of the Exchange Act Reports and/or acting as the Certifying Person, if the
      Depositor has received indemnity from such successor Master Servicer
      satisfactory to the Depositor, and such Master Servicer has agreed to provide
      a
      Sarbanes-Oxley Certification to the Depositor substantially in the form of
      Exhibit Q.

      XI

    MISCELLANEOUS
      PROVISIONS

     

    SECTION
      11.1 Amendment.

     

    This
      Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer
      and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders (i) to
      cure
      any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provision herein or
      to
      supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other
      provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Seller or
      the
      Master Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
      questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind
      any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided that any
      action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by an
      Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee (which Opinion of Counsel shall
      not
      be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any
      material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however,
      that
      the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect
      the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment
      obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not
      result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned
      to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in
      and
      of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
      amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
      affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer
      also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the
      consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
      provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain
      the
      qualification of any REMIC established hereunder as a REMIC under the Code,
      (ii)
      avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC established
      hereunder pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the
      final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements
      of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
      which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but
      in
      any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect
      that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such
      qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a
      tax
      or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

    This
      Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master
      Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a Majority in
      Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby 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 shall (i)
      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required
      to
      be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
      Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
      the
      Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in
      (i),
      without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing,
      as
      to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66%, or (iii) reduce the
      aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to
      consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such
      Certificates then outstanding. In addition, the permitted activities of the
      Trust under this Agreement cannot be significantly modified without the approval
      of Holders of Certificates evidencing a Majority in Interest.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
      any
      amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion
      of
      Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
      Fund,
      to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax
      on
      any REMIC established hereunder or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC
      established hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
      Certificates are outstanding.

     

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

     

    It
      shall
      not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to
      approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
      sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
      of
      obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
      thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
      as
      the Trustee may prescribe.

     

    Nothing
      in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without
      receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the
      Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment
      is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements
      for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the
      amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
      any
      Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding
      clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section
      11.1.

      Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real
      property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which

      majority of the Certificateholders to the effect that such recordation

      Certificateholders.

    SECTION
      11.4 Intention of Parties.

     

    It
      is the
      express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund
      by
      the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, absolute sales thereof
      to

      of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance
      provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant
      by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
      of a
      security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether

      or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
      Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s
      legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action
      or
      commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the trust
      created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities
      of
      the parties hereto or any of them.

     

    No
      Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein)
      or in
      any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund,
      or
      the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth
      or

      nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by
      reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any

      Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any
      provisions 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 an Event
      of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the
      Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
      evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to 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 being understood and intended, and being
      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 or by availing itself
      or
      themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
      the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or
      seek
      to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce
      any
      right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
      common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement
      of
      the provisions of this Section 11.8, each and every Certificateholder and the
      Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
      equity.

      books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Master Servicer
      relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause
      such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected
      by
      the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts
      relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent
      public accountants (and by this provision the Master Servicer hereby authorizes
      said accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances
      and

      requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor
      or the Trustee of any right under this Section 11.9 shall be borne by the party
      requesting such inspection; all other such expenses shall be borne by the Master

      whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the

                Servicer
                and the Depositor shall not, prior to the date which is one year
                and one
                day after the termination of this Agreement, acquiesce, petition

      is

      requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is

      order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the
      Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s
      prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts
      surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is to be made within

      Rule
      144A of the Securities Act) to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such
      transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and such

      arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor
      a
      person acting on behalf of any such plan, which representation letter shall
      not
      be an expense of the Trustee , the Depositor or the Master Servicer, (ii) if

      not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to any obligation

      shall
      not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer. [Such

    Any
      distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust Fund will
      be
      made only upon presentment and surrender of this Class I-A-R Certificate at
      the
      Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in
      New
      York, New York. This Class I-A-R Certificate represents an ownership in the
      RL
      Interest, the RM Interest and the RU Interest, as defined in the
      Agreement

     

    No
      transfer of a Class I-A-R Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall
      have received either (i) a representation [letter] from the transferee of such
      Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
      Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
      or
      arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor
      a
      person acting on behalf of any such plan, which representation letter shall
      not
      be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, (ii) if
      the
      purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an
      insurance company which is purchasing such Certificate with funds contained
      in
      an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e)
      of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the
      purchase and holding of such Certificate are covered under Sections I and III
      of
      PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such Certificate presented for
      registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section
      4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or
      a
      trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan,
      an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the
      purchase or holding of such Class I-A-R Certificate will not result in
      prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the
      Code
      and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer to
      any
      obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion
      of
      Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master
      Servicer. [Such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee
      by the Transferee’s acceptance of this Class I-A-R Certificate and by a
      beneficial owner’s acceptance of its interest in such Certificate.]
      Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer
      of
      a Class I-A-R Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject
      to
      ERISA or to the Code without the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
      as described above shall be void and of no effect.

     

    Each
      Holder of this Class I-A-R Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
      bound
      by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the
      restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
      in
      this Class I-A-R Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership
      Interest in this Class I-A-R Certificate may be transferred without delivery
      to
      the Trustee of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed transferee and (b)
      a
      transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such documents to be in the
      form
      described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership
      Interest in this Class I-A-R Certificate must agree to require a transfer
      affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to the Trustee as required
      pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or acquiring an Ownership
      Interest in this Class I-A-R Certificate must agree not to transfer an Ownership
      Interest in this Class I-A-R Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the
      proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted or
      purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Class I-A-R Certificate
      in
      violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest
      no
      rights in the purported transferee.

    [Form
      of
      Reverse of Certificates]

     

    First
      Horizon Alternative Mortgage Securities Trust 2006-FA8

    Mortgage
      Pass-Through Certificates

     

    This
      Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
      First Horizon Alternative Mortgage Securities Trust 2006-FA8 Mortgage
      Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein
      collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership
      interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Distributions
      on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
      funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
      appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
      notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related
      Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive
      such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed
      by
      first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the
      Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made
      in
      like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at
      the
      Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified in the notice to
      Certificateholders of such final distribution.

     

    The
      Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
      thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and
      the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
      Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
      of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
      Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
      Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
      Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
      hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of
      such
      consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
      thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
      of
      any of the Certificates.

    As
      provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
      the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
      of
      the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
      at
      the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee
      in
      New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
      satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
      the
      holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
      thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
      denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
      Trust
      Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     

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

     

    No
      service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
      but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
      other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     

    The
      Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor
      or
      the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
      as
      the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
      nor
      any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     

    On
      any
      Distribution Date on which the aggregate of the Pool Principal Balances of
      all
      of the Mortgage Pools is less than 10% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Pool
      Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Pools, the Master Servicer will have
      the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage
      Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage
      Pools at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event
      that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
      created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other
      liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
      remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect
      thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required
      to be
      distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust
      created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
      death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
      Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.

     

    Any
      term
      used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
      in
      the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that
      meaning.

    Gentlemen:

     

    In
      accordance with Section 2 of the above-captioned Custodial Agreement (the
      "Custodial Agreement"), the undersigned, as Custodian, hereby certifies that,
      as
      to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any
      Mortgage Loan listed in the attached schedule), it has received:

     

    (i)
       the
      original Mortgage Note, endorsed as provided in the following form: “Pay to the
      order of ________, without recourse”; and

     

    (ii)
       a
      duly
      executed assignment, or a copy of such assignment certified by the Seller as
      being a true and complete copy of the assignment, of the Mortgage (which may
      be
      included in a blanket assignment or assignments); provided, however, that it
      has
      received no assignment with respect to any Mortgage for which the related
      Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

     

    Based
      on
      its review and examination and only as to the foregoing documents, such
      documents appear regular on their face and related to such Mortgage
      Loan.

     

    The
      Custodian has made no independent examination of any documents contained in
      each
      Mortgage File beyond the review specifically required in the Custodial
      Agreement. The Custodian makes no representations as to: (i) the validity,
      legality, sufficiency, enforceability or genuineness of any of the documents
      contained in each Mortgage File of any of the Mortgage Loans identified on
      the
      Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness
      or suitability of any such Mortgage Loan.

    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

     

    In
      accordance with Section 3 of the above-captioned Custodial Agreement (the
“Custodial Agreement”), the undersigned, as Custodian, hereby certifies that, as
      to each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other
      than any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan listed in the attached schedule), it
      has
      received:

     

    (i) the
      original Mortgage Note, endorsed as provided in the following form: “Pay to the
      order of_______, without recourse”; 

     

    (ii) in
      the
      case of each Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage, or a copy of such
      Mortgage certified by the Seller as being a true and complete copy of the
      Mortgage, [and in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan,
      the original Mortgage, or a copy of such Mortgage certified by the Seller as
      being a true and complete copy of the Mortgage, noting thereon the presence
      of
      the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan
      is a
      MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording
      indicated thereon]; and

     

    (iii) in
      the
      case of each Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment, or a copy of such
      assignment certified by the Seller as a true and complete copy of the
      assignment, of the Mortgage (which may be included in a blanket assignment
      or
      assignments); provided, however, that it has received no assignment with respect
      to any Mortgage for which the related Mortgage Property is located in the
      Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

     

    Based
      on
      its review and examination and only as to the foregoing documents, such
      documents appear regular on their face and related to such Delay Delivery
      Mortgage Loan.

      Custodian has made no independent examination of any documents contained in
      each
      Mortgage File beyond the review specifically required in the Custodial
      Agreement. The Custodian makes no representations as to: (i) the validity,
      legality, sufficiency, enforceability or genuineness of any of the documents
      contained in each Mortgage File of any of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans
      identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectability,
      insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Delay Delivery Mortgage
      Loan.

    The
      undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

     

    1. The
      undersigned is an officer of __________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership
      Interest in a Class I-A-R Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the
      Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the “Agreement”), relating to the
      above-referenced Series, by and among First Horizon Asset Securities Inc.,
      as
      depositor (the “Depositor”), First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, as master
      servicer, and The Bank of New York, as trustee. Capitalized terms used, but
      not
      defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to
      such
      terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make
      this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.

     

    2. The
      Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
      Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
      Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee,
      trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from
      such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Transferee
      has
      no knowledge that any such affidavit is false. The Transferee does not hold
      REMIC residual interests as nominee to facilitate the clearance and settlement
      of such interests through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of
      participating organizations.

     

    3. The
      Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax may be imposed
      on
      Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees;
      (ii)
      such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through
      an
      agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person that is
      not a
      Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for
      the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent transferee
      furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent transferee is a
      Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have
      actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.

     

    4. The
      Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax may be imposed on
      a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
      year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
      is
      the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
      that
      such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
      holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder
      is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
      knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
      entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
      or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
      and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
      interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
      Person.)

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        H-1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    5. The
      Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.2(c) of the Agreement
      (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and
      understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest
      in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent
      Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales.
      The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions
      of
      Section 5.2(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the
      Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of
      the
      representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee
      contemplated hereby null and void.

     

    6. The
      Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the
      Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
      and
      in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
      as
      nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
      Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that
      the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
      such
      Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
      a
      certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit I to the Agreement
      (a
“Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual
      knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted
      Transferee.

     

    7. The
      Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
      of
      any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
      Certificate.

     

    8. The
      Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ______.

     

    9. The
      Transferee is either a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30) or
      the
      Transferee has furnished the Transferor a properly completed Internal Revenue
      Service Form W-8ECI..

     

    10. The
      Transferee is aware that the Certificate may represent one or more interests
      in
      a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of Treasury regulations
      promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
      residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
      income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
      was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

     

    11. The
      Transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section
      406
      of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor
      a
      person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using the assets
      of
      any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer.

     

    12. The
      Transferee has historically paid its debts as they came due and the Transferee
      will continue to pay its debts as they come due in the future; the Transferee
      understands that, as the holder of the Certificate, the Transferee may incur
      tax
      liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Certificate and the
      Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Certificate as
      they
      become due.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        H-2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    13. The
      Transferee is a domestic corporation taxable as a regular corporation for U.S.
      federal income tax purposes (a “taxable domestic C corporation”) and is not a
      real estate investment trust, regulated investment company or REMIC. The
      Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable, for
      U.S. federal income tax purposes, to a non-U.S. permanent establishment or
      fixed
      base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee
      or another U.S. taxpayer. At the time of the Transfer, and at the close of
      each
      of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the Transfer, the
      Transferee’s gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceeded $10 million
      (together, the “Asset Requirements”), and the Transferee hereby covenants that
      any subsequent Transfer of its Ownership Interest in the Certificate will be
      to
      another taxable, domestic C corporation satisfying the Asset
      Requirements

     

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on
      its
      behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized
      officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this
      ___
      day of _________, 20__.

    Certain
      Definitions

     

    “Ownership
      Interest”: As to any Certificate, any ownership interest in such Certificate,
      including any interest in such Certificate as the Holder thereof and any other
      interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal or beneficial.

     

    “Permitted
      Transferee”: Any Person other than (i) the United States, any State or political
      subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing,
      (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or any agency or
      instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization (except
      certain farmers’ cooperatives described in section 521 of the Code) which is
      exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed
      by
      section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess
      inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(l) of the Code) with respect to any
      Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in section
      1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership” as defined in
      section 775 of the Code, (vi) a Person that is not (a) a citizen or resident
      of
      the United States, (b) a corporation, partnership, or other entity created
      or
      organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the
      District of Columbia, (c) an estate whose income from sources without the United
      States is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax
      purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business
      within the United States or (d) a trust if a court within the United States
      is
      able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and
      one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial
      decisions of the trust, unless such Person has furnished the transferor and
      the
      Trustee with a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any
      applicable successor form, and (vii) any other Person so designated by the
      Depositor based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the Transfer of an Ownership
      Interest in a Certificate to such Person may cause any REMIC created pursuant
      to
      the Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates
      (as defined in the Agreement) are outstanding; provided, however, that if a
      person is classified as a partnership or a disregarded entity under the Code,
      such person shall only be a Permitted Transferee if all of its beneficial owners
      are described in subclauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of clause (vi) and the
      governing documents of such person prohibits a transfer of any interest in
      such
      person to any person described in clause (vi). The terms “United States,”
“State” and “International Organization” shall have the meanings set forth in
      section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions. A corporation will not be
      treated as an instrumentality of the United States or of any State or political
      subdivision thereof for these purposes if all of its activities are subject
      to
      tax and, with the exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation,
      a
      majority of its board of directors is not selected by such government unit.
      

     

    “Person”:
      Any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, bank,
      joint-stock company, trust (including any beneficiary thereof), unincorporated
      organization or government or any agency or political subdivision
      thereof.

     

    “Transfer”:
      Any direct or indirect transfer or sale of any Ownership Interest in a
      Certificate, including the acquisition of a Certificate by the
      Depositor.

    Section
      5.2(c) of the Agreement

     

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

     

    (i) Each
      Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
      shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
      change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

     

    (ii) No
      Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
      Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer
      of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required
      to
      be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall
      have
      been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner
      or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. The
      Transferee does not hold REMIC residual interests as nominee to facilitate
      the
      clearance and settlement of such interests through electronic book-entry changes
      in accounts of participating organizations. 

     

    (iii) Each
      Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
      shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom
      such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
      Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such
      Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer
      of
      a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a
      Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
      Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such
      Person is not a Permitted Transferee. 

     

    (iv) Any
      attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
      Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c) shall be
      absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee.
      If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate
      in
      violation of the provisions of this Section 5.2(c), then the last preceding
      Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
      retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
      Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
      registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
      by Section 5.2(b) and this Section 5.2(c) or for making any payments due on
      such
      Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
      such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer
      was
      registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
      Certificate, and in the case of a Residual Certificate which is also a Private
      Certificate, either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee
      shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
      Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became
      a
      Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
      Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either
      such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
      delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
      Certificate.

    (v) The
      Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
      request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
      under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
      Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
      Transferee.

     

    The
      restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section
      5.2(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a
      Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after
      delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
      shall
      not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, to
      the
      effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC
      created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
      Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
      Trust
      Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring
      any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any
      amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished
      to
      the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership
      of,
      or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
      directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and
      (b)
      to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which
      is
      held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
      Permitted Transferee.

    In
      connection with our disposition of the above Certificates we certify that (a)
      to
      the extent we are disposing of a Private Certificate, we understand that the
      Private Certificate has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
      as
      amended (the “Act”), and is being disposed of by us in a transaction that is
      exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, (b) we have not offered
      or
      sold any Certificates to, or solicited offers to buy any Certificates from,
      any
      person, or otherwise approached or negotiated with any person with respect
      thereto, in a manner that would be deemed, or taken any other action which
      would
      result in, a violation of Section 5 of the Act, and (c) to the extent we are
      disposing of a Residual Certificate, we have no knowledge the transferee is
      not
      a Permitted Transferee.

     

    Capitalized

    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

     

    In
      connection with our acquisition of the above Certificates we certify that (a)
      we
      understand that the Certificates are not being registered under the Securities
      Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any state securities laws and are being
      transferred to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration
      requirements of the Act and any such laws, (b) we are an “accredited investor,”
as defined in Regulation D under the Act, and have such knowledge and experience
      in financial and business matters that we are capable of evaluating the merits
      and risks of investments in the Certificates, (c) we have had the opportunity
      to
      ask questions of and receive answers from the Depositor concerning the purchase
      of the Certificates and all matters relating thereto or any additional
      information deemed necessary to our decision to purchase the Certificates,
      (d)
      either (i) we are not an employee benefit plan or arrangement that is subject
      to
      the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or a plan
      or
      arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of
      1986, as amended, nor are we acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement
      nor are we using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such
      acquisition or (ii) if, in the case of ERISA-Restricted Certificates that have
      been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, we are an insurance
      company, a representation that we are an insurance company which is purchasing
      such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account”
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class
      Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such
      Certificates are covered under Sections I and III PTCE 95-60, (e) we are
      acquiring the Certificates for investment for our own account and not with
      a
      view to any distribution of such Certificates (but without prejudice to our

      (e) if an insurance company, in the case of ERISA-restricted Certificates that

      with, any person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of

      Act
      or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will act, nor has authorized

    2. Based
      upon my knowledge, the Exchange Act Reports, taken as a whole, do not contain
      any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
      necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under

      to be provided under Form 10-D for the period covered by this report is included
      in the Exchange Act Reports;

     

    4. I
      am
      responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Company as master

      and the compliance review(s) conducted in preparing the servicer compliance
      statement(s) required in this report under Item 1123 of Regulation AB (the
      “Compliance

      and
      except as disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports, the Company has fulfilled
      its
