     This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2007 (the
"Agreement"), by and among MERRILL LYNCH MORTGAGE INVESTORS, INC., a Delaware
corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), WELLS
FARGO BANK, N.A., as Master Servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer")
and Securities Administrator (in such capacity, the "Securities Administrator"),
and PHH MORTGAGE CORPORATION, as Servicer (the "Servicer"), and acknowledged by
MERRILL LYNCH MORTGAGE LENDING, INC. a Delaware corporation, as sponsor (the
"Sponsor"), for purposes of Section 2.05.

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

     The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Sponsor and at the
Closing Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being
conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust
Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the
Trustee as consideration for the Depositor's transfer to the Trust Fund of the
Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor
has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for
the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property
constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Sponsor in
the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement and in this Agreement and all
covenants and agreements made by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein with respect to
the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund are for
the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee
are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the Trust Fund
created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged.

     As provided herein, the Securities Administrator shall elect that the Trust
Fund be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate
mortgage investment conduits (each a "REMIC" or, in the alternative, "REMIC 1"
and the "Upper Tier REMIC," respectively) in a tiered structure. The
Certificates, other than the Class A-R Certificate, shall represent ownership of
regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class A-R Certificate represents
the sole class of residual interest in each of REMIC 1 and the Upper Tier REMIC.

     The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the several classes of
uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular Interests. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the
property of the Trust Fund other than the REMIC 1 Interests.

     Each Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular
interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. Each
REMIC 1 Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

     The Class LT1-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual
interest in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R
Certificate, other than the portion thereof representing the right to receive
payments in respect of the Class LT1-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole
class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
provisions and will also represent the Class LT1-R Interest.

     REMIC 1 and has neither a principal amount nor an interest rate. The Class
     LT1-R Interest shall be represented by the Class A-R Certificate.

(2)  The Class LT11A Interest, the Class LT12A Interest, the Class LT13A
     Interest and the Class LT1Z Interest shall have an interest rate for each
     Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) equal to the Net WAC.

(3)  The Class LT11B Interest shall have an interest rate for any Distribution
     Date (and the related Accrual Period) equal to the Pool 1 Net WAC.

(4)  The Class LT12B Interest shall have an interest rate for any Distribution
     Date (and the related Accrual Period) equal to the Pool 2 Net WAC.

(5)  The Class LT13B Interest shall have an interest rate for any Distribution
     Date (and the related Accrual Period) equal to the Pool 3 Net WAC.

     On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall first pay or
charge as an expense of REMIC 1 all expenses of the Issuing Entity for such
Distribution Date.

     Principal distributions shall be deemed to be made on the REMIC 1 Interests
first, so as to keep the uncertificated principal balance of each REMIC 1
Interest ending with the designation "A" equal to 1% of the excess of (x) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage
Pool over (y) the aggregate class principal amounts of the Certificates in the
Certificate Group related to such Mortgage Pool (except that if 1% of any such
excess is greater than the principal amount of the corresponding REMIC 1
Interest ending with the designation "A", the least amount of principal shall be
distributed to such REMIC 1 Interests such that the REMIC 1 Subordinate Balance
Ratio is maintained); second, to each REMIC 1 Interest ending with the
designation "B" so as to keep the uncertificated principal balance of each such
REMIC 1 Interest equal to 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool and finally, all remaining principal
amounts shall be distributed in respect of the Class LT1Z Interest. Realized
Losses with respect to principal shall be allocated among the REMIC 1 Interests
first, so as to keep the uncertificated principal balance of each REMIC 1
Interest ending with the designation "A" equal to 1% of the excess of (x) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage
Pool over (y) the aggregate class principal amounts of the Certificates in the
Certificate Group related to such Mortgage Pool (except that if 1% of any such
excess is greater than the principal amount of the


                                        2

<PAGE>

corresponding REMIC 1 Interest ending with the designation "A", the least amount
of losses shall be allocated to such REMIC 1 Interests such that the REMIC 1
Subordinate Balance Ratio is maintained); second, to each REMIC 1 Interest
ending with the designation "B" so as to keep the uncertificated principal
balance of each such REMIC 1 Interest equal to 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool and
finally, all remaining Realized Losses with respect to principal shall be
distributed in respect of the Class LT1Z Interest.

     If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Amount of any Class
of Certificates is increased pursuant to the penultimate sentence of the
definition of "Certificate Principal Amount", then there shall be an equivalent
aggregate increase in the principal amounts of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests,
with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the
allocation of losses on the REMIC 1 Regular Interests on such Distribution Date)
among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests as follows: (i) first, to each REMIC 1
Interest ending with the designation "B" so as to keep the uncertificated
principal balance of each such REMIC 1 Interest equal to 1% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Pool,
(ii) second, to each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation "A",
so that the uncertificated principal balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest
ending with the designation "A" is as close as possible to (but does not exceed)
1% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans in related Mortgage Pool over (y) the aggregate class principal balance of
the Certificates in the Certificate Group related to such Mortgage Pool;
provided, however, that (a) the REMIC 1 Subordinate Balance Ratio is maintained
and (b) amounts allocated to any REMIC 1 Regular Interest pursuant to this
clause (ii) shall not exceed the amount of any previous realized losses
allocated to such REMIC 1 Regular Interest not previously offset by
distributions or increases in the principal amount of such REMIC 1 Regular
Interest and (iii) finally, all remaining amounts to the Class LT1Z Interest.

     All computations with respect to the REMIC 1 Interests shall be computed to
eight decimal places.

more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure or
Bankruptcy and any REO Properties), averaged over the last six months, as a

50%, respectively, of the sum of the Class Principal Amount of the Subordinate
Certificates as of the Closing Date; or (b)(i) the Stated Principal Balance of
Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such
Mortgage Loans in foreclosure or Bankruptcy and any REO Properties), averaged
over the last six months, as a percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of all Mortgage Loans averaged over the last six months, does not exceed
4%, and (ii) Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans to date for such Distribution
Date, if occurring during the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh or twelfth year (or
any year thereafter) after the Closing Date, are less than 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or
30%, respectively, of the sum of the Class Principal Amount of the Subordinate
Certificates as of the Closing Date and (ii) that for any Distribution Date on
which the Pro Rata Senior Percentage exceeds the Pro Rata Senior Percentage as
of the Closing Date, the Senior Prepayment Percentage for all of the Mortgage
Pools shall be 100%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the reduction of the
Class Principal Amount of the Senior Certificates to zero, the Senior Prepayment
Percentage will equal 0%.

     In addition, on any Distribution Date on or after the Distribution Date
occurring in June 2010, if the current weighted average of the Subordinate
Percentage of the Mortgage Pools is equal to or greater than two times the
weighted average of the Subordinate Percentage as of the Closing Date, and (a)

Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans do not exceed 20% of the Subordinate
Percentage as of the Closing Date times the aggregate Stated Principal Balance

Prepayment Percentage (such test, the "Two Times Test").

     Senior Principal Distribution Amount: With respect to any Mortgage Pool and
Distribution Date, the sum of:

          1. the product of (a) the related Pro Rata Senior Percentage and (b)

     In making such verifications, the Trustee, or its Custodian, may rely
conclusively on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the documents constituting the
Trustee Mortgage File, and the Trustee, and its Custodian, shall have no
obligation to independently verify the validity, enforceability, recordability,
sufficiency, due authorization or genuineness of any document in any Trustee
Mortgage File or any Mortgage Loan hereunder, nor the collectibility,
insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any Mortgage Loan hereunder. The
Trustee, or its Custodian, shall prepare an initial certification to be
delivered to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Sponsor and the Master Servicer on
the Closing Date in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit K (the "Initial
Certification") with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Mortgage Loan
paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified on the Schedule of
Exceptions attached to the Initial Certification (the "Schedule of Exceptions")
as not covered by such Initial Certification) listed on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. If the Trustee, or its Custodian, determines from such verification
that any discrepancy or deficiency exists with respect to a Trustee Mortgage
File, the Trustee, or its Custodian, shall note such omission, discrepancy or
deficiency on the Schedule of Exceptions attached to the Initial Certification,
and shall deliver a copy (which shall be electronic, if requested) of the
Schedule of Exceptions to the Depositor on the Closing Date. During the life of
the Mortgage Loans (while subject to this Agreement), in the event the Trustee,
or its Custodian, discovers any defect with respect to any Trustee Mortgage
File, the Trustee, or its Custodian, shall give written specification of such
defect to the Depositor. Except as specifically provided above, the Trustee, and
its Custodian, shall be under no duty to review, inspect or examine such
documents to determine that any of them are enforceable or appropriate for their
prescribed purpose.

     (b) If in the course of the review described in paragraph (a) of this
Section 2.02 the Trustee, or its Custodian, discovers any document or documents
constituting a part of a Trustee Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear
regular on its face (i.e., is mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise
physically altered) or appears to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (each, a "Material Defect"), the Trustee, or its
Custodian, upon discovering such Material Defect shall promptly identify the
Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates to the Depositor, the
Sponsor and the Master Servicer. Within 90 days of its receipt of such notice
(but in no case prior to the 270th day following the Closing Date), the
Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event,
the Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate confirming
that such cure has been effected). If the Servicer or Master Servicer notifies
the Depositor and the Trustee in writing that (i) a loss has occurred and (ii)
such loss relates to a Mortgage Loan for which the Trustee, or its Custodian,
previously identified a Material Defect or for which the Servicer or Master
Servicer has identified a Material Defect and the Depositor has not cured such
Material Defect, then the Depositor shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price therefor in the event that such loss would, if such Mortgage Loan
is not repurchased by the Depositor, constitute a Realized Loss and such loss is
attributable to the failure of the Depositor to have cured such Material Defect.
A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the Depositor to
cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, acting in good faith,
absent such Material Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. Within the
two-year period following the Closing Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of
repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant


                                       38

<PAGE>

to this Section 2.02(b), substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Replacement
Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 2.05.

     (c) Within 270 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee or its
Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Sponsor and the
Master Servicer, a final certification substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit L (the "Final Certification") evidencing the completeness of the Trustee
Mortgage Files in its possession or control, with any exceptions noted on the
Schedule of Exceptions attached to the Final Certification.

     (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an
assumption by the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Certificateholders of any
unsatisfied duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any
Mortgagor.

     (e) Upon execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to the
Trustee and the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Mortgage Loan Sale and
Assignment Agreement.

     Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor

     (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer,
the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and to the Trustee, for the benefit

     obligations under this Agreement, and to create the trust pursuant hereto;

          (ii) the execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement
     have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
     the Depositor; neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor
     the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance
     with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or
     constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental
     rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its
     properties or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;

          (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this
     Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do
     not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
     registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any
     state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except such as
     has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date hereof;

          (iv) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
     Depositor and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Trustee,
     constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable

     be subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other
     similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally
     and (B) general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforcement
     is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

<PAGE>

          (v) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
     knowledge of the Depositor, threatened or likely to be asserted against or
     affecting the Depositor, before or by any court, administrative agency,
     arbitrator or governmental body (A) with respect to any of the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter
     which in the judgment of the Depositor will be determined adversely to the
     Depositor and will if determined adversely to the Depositor materially and
     adversely affect it or its business, assets, operations or condition,
     financial or otherwise, or adversely affect its ability to perform its
     obligations under this Agreement;

          (vi) immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage
     Loans to the Trustee, the Depositor was the sole owner of record and holder
     of each Mortgage Loan, and the Depositor had good and marketable title
     thereto, and had full right to transfer and sell each Mortgage Loan to the
     Trustee free and clear, subject only to (1) liens of current real property
     taxes and assessments not yet due and payable and, if the related Mortgaged
     Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges permitted by
     statute, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
     easements and other matters of public record as of the date or recording of
     such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area in
     which the related Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred
     to in the lender's title insurance policy or attorney's opinion of title
     and abstract of title delivered to the Originator of such Mortgage Loan,
     and (3) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
     which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with
     the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, of
     any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge,
     claim or security interest, and had full right and authority, subject to no
     interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell
     and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement;

          (vii) None of the Mortgage Loans have any marks or notations
     indicating that such Mortgage Loans have been pledged, assigned or
     otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Trustee;

          (viii) The Depositor has received all consents and approvals required
     by the terms of the Mortgage Loans to convey the Mortgage Loans hereunder
     to the Trustee;

          (ix) As of the Closing Date, no Mortgage Loan provides for interest
     other than at either (x) a single fixed rate in effect throughout the term
     of the Mortgage Loan or (y) a single "variable rate" (within the meaning of
     Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(3)) in effect throughout the term
     of the Mortgage Loan;

          (x) As of the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified
     mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code (without regard to
     Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(3) or 1.860G-2(f) or any similar
     rule that provides that a defective obligation is a qualified mortgage for
     a temporary period);

          (xi) As of the Closing Date, no Mortgage Loan is the subject of
     pending or final foreclosure proceedings; and

          (xii) As of the Closing Date, the Depositor would not initiate
     foreclosure proceedings with respect to any Mortgage Loan based on such
     Mortgage Loan's delinquency status prior to the next scheduled payment date
     for such Mortgage Loan.

<PAGE>

     The foregoing representations made in this Section 2.03 and Section 9.21 by
the Depositor shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall not be
waived by any party hereto.

     (b) The representations and warranties of the Sponsor with respect to the
Mortgage Loans contained in the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement were
made as of the Closing Date. To the extent that any fact, condition or event
with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of a representation or
warranty of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement,
the obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment
Agreement shall be enforced by the Depositor against the Sponsor, as set forth
in the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement. The Trustee further
acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability with
respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Sections 2.03(a)(vii)-(xii)) under any
circumstances.

consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof are in its ordinary
course of business and will not (A) result in a material breach of any term or
provision of its charter or by-laws or (B) materially conflict with, result in a
material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material default
under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which it may be bound, or (C) constitute a material violation of any

     (b) The Servicer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee,
for the benefit of the Certificateholders as of the Closing Date the following:

          (i) PHH is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good

warranty and upon the Depositor's or the Master Servicer's written request, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor or the Master Servicer reasonable

     Within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
the Servicer of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in this
Section 2.04(b), which materially and adversely affects the ability of the
Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise
materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged
Property or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property,
the Servicer shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all
material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Servicer shall, at
the Master Servicer's option, assign the Servicer's rights and obligations under
this Agreement (or respecting the affected Mortgage Loans) to a successor
servicer selected by the Depositor with the prior consent and approval of the
Master Servicer. Such assignment shall be made in accordance with this Agreement

     Section 2.05. Discovery of Breach; Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage
Loans.

     (a) Upon discovery (i) by the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Master Servicer,
the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Depositor under Section 2.03 which
materially adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholder (a "Defective Mortgage Loan"), or (ii) by the
Depositor, the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee of the breach by the Sponsor of any representation
or warranty herein or under the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement in
respect of any Mortgage Loan, which breach results in the Mortgage Loan being a
"Defective Mortgage Loan" (each of such parties hereby agreeing to give written
notice of such breach to the Trustee and the other of such parties), the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee, or its Custodian, shall promptly notify
the Depositor and Sponsor in writing of such breach and request that the
Depositor cure or cause the Sponsor to cure such breach within ninety (90) days
from the date that the Depositor discovered or was notified of such breach, and
if the Depositor does not cure or cause the Sponsor to cure such breach in all
material respects during such period, the Trustee shall (i) in the case of an
uncured breach of a representation or warranty of the Depositor under Section
2.03, cause the Depositor to repurchase such Defective Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price and (ii) in the case of an uncured breach by the Sponsor under
the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement, cause the Depositor to enforce
the Sponsor's obligation under the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment


                                       44

<PAGE>

Agreement to repurchase that Defective Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price, in each case on or prior to the Determination Date following the
expiration of such 90-day period (subject to Section 2.05(b) below); provided,
however, that, in connection with any such breach under clause (ii) above that
could not reasonably have been cured within such 90-day period, if the Sponsor
shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 90-day period and, if the
defective Mortgage Loan qualifies as a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code following such 90-day period, the Sponsor
shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure
the same within an additional 90-day period.

     The Purchase Price for the repurchased Defective Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited in the Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its Custodian, upon
written notice of the receipt of such deposit by the Securities Administrator
and two copies of a Request for Release with respect to such Defective Mortgage
Loan by the Trustee or its Custodian, shall release to the Sponsor or the
Depositor, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it and
as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Defective Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its Custodian, shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood
that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of
such assignment for its intended purpose).

     In lieu of repurchasing any such Defective Mortgage Loan as provided above,
the Sponsor may cause such Defective Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust
Fund (in which case it shall become a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and substitute
one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b) below. It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Sponsor (or the Depositor, if applicable) to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Sponsor
(or the Depositor, if applicable) respecting such breach available to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. With respect to the representations
and warranties that are made to the best of the Sponsor's knowledge, if it is
discovered by any of the Depositor, the Sponsor 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, then
notwithstanding the Sponsor's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of
the applicable representation or warranty.

     (b) Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be effected prior to the last
Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted
Mortgage Loan for which the Sponsor substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by delivering to the Trustee or its
Custodian for such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an Officers'
Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Amount (as described below),
if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee, or its Custodian,
shall acknowledge receipt for such Replacement Mortgage Loan and, within 45 days
thereafter, shall review such Mortgage Documents as specified in this Agreement
under Section 2.02(a) and deliver to the Depositor, with respect to such
Replacement Mortgage Loans, a certification substantially in the form of a
revised Initial Certification, with any exceptions noted thereon. Within one
year of the date of substitution, the Trustee, or its Custodian, shall deliver
to the Depositor a certification substantially in the form of a revised Final


                                       45

<PAGE>

Certification, with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loans, with any
exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Replacement
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be included as part of the
Trust Fund and shall be retained by the Sponsor. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the collections and recoveries
in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month
of substitution and the Sponsor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all
amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon
such substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the
Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement
and the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement, including all
representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Sale and
Assignment Agreement, in each case as of the date of substitution.

     For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Replacement
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor, based upon
information provided by the Servicer or Master Servicer, shall determine the
excess (each, a "Substitution Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase
Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Replacement Mortgage Loans replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans,
together with one month's interest on such excess amount at the applicable Net
Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Sponsor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an
amount equal to the related Substitution Amount, if any, and the Trustee, or its
Custodian, upon written notice of the receipt of the Substitution Amount deposit
and the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and two copies of a Request
for Release with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall release to
the Sponsor the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Sponsor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest
therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

     In addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either
specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause (a) any federal tax
to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or
(b) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered,
then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion
of Counsel can be given.

     (c) Upon discovery by the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
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 within two (2) Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Sponsor or Depositor,
as applicable, shall repurchase, or the Sponsor, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.05(b), shall substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage
Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within ninety (90) days of the earlier of
discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Sections 2.05(a) and 2.05(b) above. The Trustee, or its Custodian,
shall re-convey to the Sponsor 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.


                                       46

     The Sponsor indemnifies and holds the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and
each Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Issuing Entity, the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Servicer and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of
such party relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance
with the terms of this Section 2.05 and the Mortgage Loan Sale and Assignment
Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes (i) any federal or state
tax to be imposed on the Issuing Entity, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the
Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of
the Code, or (ii) any REMIC formed hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificate is outstanding.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sponsor
shall administer the Additional Collateral, it being understood and agreed that
only the Sponsor shall service and administer the related securities accounts,
lines of credit and guarantees with respect to Additional Collateral.

     Section 2.06. Grant Clause.

     (a) It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property
and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such
conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest in
all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all
property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and
(3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by
this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person
holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in
full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent
for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein
provided.

     (b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take
such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement
were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor will, at
its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall
forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing,
or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all
filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings
necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee's security interest in
or lien on the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, including
without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as
may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of Sponsor, the Depositor or the
Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief
executive office of the Sponsor or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any
interest of the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the
relevant UCC or other applicable laws. The Depositor shall not organize under
the law of any jurisdiction other than the State


                                       47

<PAGE>

under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its
jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction)
without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and
intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change,
the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare
and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other
statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its
immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans
and the other property described above. In connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Depositor authorizes its immediate or
mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing
statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements,
or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b).

                                  ARTICLE III.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

     Section 3.01. The Certificates.

     (a) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be
securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code. The
Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates,
beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in
Certificate Principal Amount or in the Percentage Interests specified herein.
Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in the minimum
denominations in Certificate Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary
Statement hereto and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Residual
Certificates shall be issued as single Certificates and maintained in
definitive, fully registered form in a denomination equal to 100% of the
Percentage Interest of each such Class.

     (b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Securities Administrator by an authorized officer. Each
Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Securities
Administrator or an Authenticating Agent upon the order of the Depositor upon
receipt by the Trustee or its Custodian of the Trustee Mortgage Files described
in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein,
executed by an authorized officer of the Securities Administrator or of an
Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. At any time and
from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Depositor may deliver Certificates executed by the Securities Administrator to
the Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent for authentication and
the Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.

     (c) The Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 certificates offered and sold in
reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global
Certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with
the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A added to the forms of such
Certificates (each, a "Restricted Global Security").

     Section 3.02. Registration.


                                       48

<PAGE>

     The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the Securities
Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as, initial Certificate Registrar
in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books for the registration and
for the transfer of Certificates (the "Certificate Register"). The Securities
Administrator may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor
Certificate Registrar. A registration book shall be maintained for the
Certificates collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged
or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the
procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with
respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Securities Administrator
and the appointment of a successor Securities Administrator. The Certificate
Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders, any
bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the
Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate
Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities
hereunder by reason of such appointment.

     Section 3.03. Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

     (a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be
subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the
Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly
executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate
in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Securities Administrator shall
execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the
transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in
the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount as the
Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a
Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer of Certificates.

     (b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of
new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in
the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount as the Certificate
surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of
the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such
form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered
upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled
to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service
charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates,
but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     (c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original
issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges
the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and
agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.


                                       49

<PAGE>

     The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and
registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes
delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:

          (i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
     Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or
     an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) of the Depositor
     or (y) being made to a "qualified institutional buyer" (a "QIB") as defined
     in Rule 144A under the Securities Act by a transferor that has provided the
     Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit G hereto;
     and

          (ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
     Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an
     "accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
     Securities Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such
     accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate
     Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit H
     hereto.

     (d) (i) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R
Certificate shall be made unless the prospective transferee provides the
Securities Administrator and the Depositor with (I) a representation as set
forth in Exhibit B or Exhibit I, as applicable, to the effect that such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan or arrangement subject to any
provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or
regulations that are substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA
or the Code ("Similar Law") (collectively, a "Plan"), and is not directly or
indirectly acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with any assets of
any such Plan, or (II) solely in the case of ERISA-Restricted Certificates, (A)
if the ERISA-Restricted Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, a representation as set forth in Exhibit I that such transferee is
an insurance company that is acquiring the ERISA-Restricted Certificate with
assets contained in an "insurance company general account," as defined in
Section V(E) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and the
acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Certificate are covered and
exempt under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (B) solely in the case of a
Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding
of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a
nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, or a violation of
Similar Law, and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee to any obligation
in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.

          (ii) Except in the case of a Definitive Certificate, the
     representations set forth in paragraph (i) of this Subsection 3.03(d),
     other than subparagraph (II)(B), and in Exhibit B or Exhibit I, as
     applicable, shall be deemed to have been made to the Securities
     Administrator or the Depositor by the transferee's acceptance of an
     ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R Certificate (or the acceptance
     by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any Class of
     ERISA-Restricted Certificates or a Class A-R Certificate). Notwithstanding
     any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of an
     ERISA-Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R Certificate to or on behalf of
     a Plan without the delivery to the Securities Administrator or the
     Depositor of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
     Securities Administrator or


                                       50

<PAGE>

     the Depositor as described above shall be void and of no effect. None of
     the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
     Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be under any
     liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any
     ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Class A-R Certificate that is in fact not
     permitted by this Section 3.03(d) nor shall the Paying Agent be under any
     liability 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
     Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The
     Certificate Registrar, Depositor, Master Servicer, the Servicer, Securities
     Administrator, Paying Agent and/or Trustee shall be entitled, but not
     obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
     or Class A-R Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such
     Certificate in violation of this Section 3.03(d) all payments made on such
     ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Class A-R Certificate at and after the time
     it commenced such holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and
     delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a
     Plan.

          (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation or Opinion of
     Counsel shall be required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted
     Certificates.

     (e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer
identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax
or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the
Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual
Certificate or beneficial interest therein may be owned, pledged or transferred,
directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an
individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless, in the case of
clause (ii), such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S.
Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a
trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and
the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI
or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such
person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a
"Non-permitted Foreign Holder").

     Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or
other disposition of a Residual Certificate or a beneficial interest therein,
the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Securities Administrator and the
Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee
is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of
a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such
transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"), and the proposed transferor shall deliver
to the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition, the Securities
Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to)
require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the
proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or,
if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial
owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a
Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the
Certificate


                                       51

<PAGE>

Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate
to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or
effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder
for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of
distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on
such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action
with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as
the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the
Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer
or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a
Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any
Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder
or at any subsequent time became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee
thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual
Certificate at and after either of such times (and all costs and expenses,
including but not limited to attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith).
Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the
Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder
of such Residual Certificate.

     If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon
receipt of written notice to the Securities Administrator that the registration
of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
Section 3.03(f), such transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest
no rights in the purported transferee and the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the
date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The
Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator and 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 this Section
3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to
the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of
this Section 3.03(f).

     (g) Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate,
ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by
such Holder's or Owner's acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to
have consented to the provisions of this section.

     Section 3.04. Cancellation of Certificates.

     Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with
respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Securities Administrator or
the Certificate Registrar.

     Section 3.05. Replacement of Certificates.

     If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Securities
Administrator or the Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Securities Administrator
or the Certificate Registrar receives


                                       52

<PAGE>

evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and there is delivered to the Securities Administrator and the
Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities
Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Certificate Principal
Amount. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor or the
Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.

     If after the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of the
original Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents
for payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar
and the Securities Administrator or any agent shall be entitled to recover such
new Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking
therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon
the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage,
cost or expenses incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the
Securities Administrator or any agent in connection therewith.

     Section 3.06. Persons Deemed Owners.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry
Certificates, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall treat the Person
in whose name any Certificate is registered upon the books of the Certificate
Registrar as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     Section 3.07. Temporary Certificates.

     (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu
of which they are issued and with such variations as the authorized officers
executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of
such Certificates.

     (b) If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge
to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate
Certificate Principal Amount of definitive Certificates of the


                                       53

<PAGE>

same Class in the authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same Class.

     Section 3.08. Appointment of Paying Agent.

     The Securities Administrator may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the
Securities Administrator) for the purpose of making distributions to
Certificateholders hereunder. The Securities Administrator shall cause any
Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Securities Administrator an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Securities
Administrator that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the
payment to Certificateholders in an Eligible Account (which shall be the
Distribution Account) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders. All
funds remitted by the Securities Administrator to any such Paying Agent for the
purpose of making distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on each
Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such
Distribution Date to the Securities Administrator. If the Paying Agent is not
the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be
remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to
be distributed on such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a
bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate
trust powers.

     Section 3.09. Book-Entry Certificates.

     (a) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be
issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the
Book-Entry Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be
registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate
representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Book-Entry Certificates,
except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been
issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section
3.09(c):

          (i) the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and
     effect;

          (ii) the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Securities
     Administrator shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes
     (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as
     the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing
     Agency and shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such
     distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in
     accordance with the Clearing Agency's normal procedures;

          (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict
     with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
     3.09 shall control; and

          (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through
     the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be
     limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate

          zero;

               (K) to the Class B-2 Certificates, such class's Subordinate Class
          Percentage of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for each

               (L) to the Class B-3 Certificates, such class's Subordinate Class
          Percentage of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for each
          Mortgage Pool, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to

          (iv) To the Class A-R Certificate, any remaining amount of the
     Available Distribution Amount from the Mortgage Pools in the aggregate.

     (b) (i) On each Distribution Date on and after the Credit Support Depletion
Date, the Available Distribution Amount for each Mortgage Pool remaining after
the distributions in clause (a) above and any distributions required to be made
pursuant to clause (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) below, will be distributed to the

     Amount, pro rata, based upon their Class Principal Amount immediately prior
     to such Distribution Date, in addition to any Principal Prepayments related
     to such remaining Senior Certificates' respective Mortgage Pool allocated
     to such Senior Certificates, 100% of the Principal Payments on any Mortgage
     Loan in the Mortgage Pool relating to the fully repaid class or classes of
     Senior Certificates of the fully repaid Certificate Group; provided,
     however, that if both (a) the weighted average of the Aggregate Subordinate

     Aggregate Subordinate Percentage as of the Closing Date on or after the
     Distribution Date in June 2010 and (b) the aggregate Stated Principal
     Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent sixty (60) days or more, averaged

     not exceed 50%, then the additional allocation


                                       64

<PAGE>

     of Principal Prepayments to the Senior Certificates in accordance with this
     clause (b) will not be made and 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any
     Mortgage Loan in the Mortgage Pool relating to the fully repaid class or
     classes of Senior Certificates will be applied as a principal distribution
     to the Subordinate Certificates.

          (iii) If on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class
     Principal Amount of any class or classes of Senior Certificates would be
     greater than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
     in its related Mortgage Pool (the amount of such excess, the
     "Undercollateralized Amount," and any such class or classes of Senior
     Certificates, the "Undercollateralized Senior Certificates") and the other
     class or classes of Senior Certificates, the "Overcollateralized Senior
     Certificates") and any Subordinate Certificates are still outstanding in
     each case after giving effect to distributions to be made on such
     Distribution Date, (i) 100% of amounts otherwise allocable to the
     Subordinate Certificates in respect of principal will be distributed to the
     Undercollateralized Senior Certificates in reduction of the Class Principal
     Amounts thereof, until the aggregate Class Principal Amount of such class
     or classes of Undercollateralized Senior Certificates is equal to the
     aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in its related
     Senior Certificates, and (ii) the Interest Distribution Amount otherwise
     allocable to the Subordinate Certificates on such Distribution Date will be
     reduced, if necessary, and distributed to such class or classes of
     Undercollateralized Senior Certificates pursuant to 5.02(a) above, in an
     amount equal to the Net WAC of the related Mortgage Pool for such class or
     classes of Undercollateralized Senior Certificates for such Distribution
     Date on a balance equal to the related Undercollateralized Amount. Any such
     reduction in the Interest Distribution Amount on the Subordinate
     Certificates will be allocated to the Class B-3, Class B-2, Class B-1,
     Class M-3, Class M-2 and Class M-1 Certificates, in that order.

     (c) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation set forth in Section
5.02(a)(iii) above, if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates on
any Distribution Date the sum of the related Class Subordination Percentages of
such Class and of all other Classes of Subordinate Certificates which have a
higher numerical Class designation than such Class is less than the Original
Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution of
Principal Prepayments shall be made to any such Classes and the amount of such
Principal Prepayment otherwise distributable to such Classes shall be
distributed to any Classes of Subordinate Certificates having lower numerical
Class designations than such Class, pro rata, based on the Class Principal
Amounts of the respective Classes immediately prior to such Distribution Date
and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided in Section
5.02(a)(iii) above.

     (d) Amounts distributed to the Residual Certificates pursuant to
subparagraph (a)(iv) of this Section 5.02 on any Distribution Date shall be
allocated among the REMIC residual interests represented thereby such that each
such interest is allocated the excess of funds available to the related REMIC
over required distributions to the regular interests in such REMIC on such
Distribution Date.

     (e) For purposes of distributions provided in this Section 5.02, each
Mortgage Pool shall "relate" to the Senior Class or Classes of the applicable
Related Certificate Group.

     (f) For purposes of distributions of interest in paragraph (a) of this
Section 5.02 such distributions to a Class of Certificates on any Distribution
Date shall be made first, in respect of Interest Distribution Amount; and
second, in respect of Interest Shortfall.

     Section 5.03. Allocation of Losses.

     (a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall aggregate the information provided by the Master Servicer (which in turn
shall be based on information provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer)
with respect to the total amount of Realized Losses, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date.

     (b) On each Distribution Date, the principal portion of Realized Losses on
the Mortgage Loans with respect to such Distribution Date shall be allocated in
the following order:

          (i) to the Class B-3 Certificates; second, to the Class B-2
     Certificates; third, to the Class B-1 Certificates; fourth, to the Class
     M-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class M-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the
     Class M-1 Certificates, in each case until the Class Principal Amount of
     such class of Certificates has been reduced to zero; and

          (ii) commencing on the Credit Support Depletion Date, Realized Losses
     will be allocated among the Senior Certificates as follows:

               first, if the Realized Loss occurs on a Mortgage Loan in a
          Mortgage Pool where the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
          Mortgage Loans in such Mortgage Pool is greater than the aggregate
          Class Principal Amount of the related Senior Certificates, the
          Realized Loss will be allocated to any Senior Certificates related to
          a Mortgage Pool where the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
          Mortgage Loans in such Mortgage Pool is less than the aggregate Class
          Principal Amount of the related Senior Certificates (any such amount,
          the "Deficiency Amount"), pro rata, based on the respective Deficiency
          Amount, in each case until the amount by which the aggregate Stated
          Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool in which
          the Realized Loss occurs exceeds the aggregate Class Principal Amount
          of the related Senior Certificates until the Class Principal Amounts
          of such Senior Certificates have been reduced to zero; and

               second, to the Senior Certificates related to the Mortgage Pool
          in which the Realized Loss occurred, until the Class Principal Amounts
          thereof have been reduced to zero.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of any Realized Loss
     that would otherwise be allocated to the Class II-A-1 Certificates will
     instead be allocated first to the Class II-A-2 Certificates until the Class
     Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero.

          (iii) [Reserved]

          (iv) Any allocation of a loss pursuant to this section to a Class of
     Certificates shall be achieved by reducing the Class Principal Amount
     thereof by the amount of such loss.

     (c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 5.03, the first $0.64
of Realized Losses shall not be allocated to any Class of Certificates.

     Section 5.04. Advances.


                                       66

<PAGE>

     If the Servicer fails to remit any Advance required to be made under this
Agreement, the Master Servicer solely in its capacity as successor servicer
shall itself make, or shall cause the successor servicer to make, such Advance.
If the Master Servicer solely in its capacity as successor servicer determines
that an Advance is required, it shall on the Business Day preceding the related
Distribution Date immediately following such Determination Date remit from its
own funds (or funds advanced by the successor servicer) for deposit in the
Master Servicer Collection Account immediately available funds in an amount
equal to such Advance.

     If the Master Servicer fails to remit any Advance required to be made under
this Agreement, the Trustee solely in its capacity as successor master servicer
shall itself make, subject to applicable law, or shall cause the successor
servicer to make, such Advance. If the Trustee solely in its capacity as
successor master servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on
the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date immediately following
such Determination Date remit from its own funds (or funds advanced by the
successor servicer) for deposit in the Distribution Account immediately
available funds in an amount equal to such Advance.

     The Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for all Advances made by it under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer or Trustee (or
successor servicer) determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is
Nonrecoverable, the Master Servicer or Trustee (or successor servicer) shall be
under no obligation to make such Advance.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

   CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR; EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     Section 6.01. Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator.

     (a) The Trustee, except during the continuance of a Master Servicer Event
of Default, and the Securities Administrator, each undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any
permissive right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator provided for in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator. If a Master Servicer Event of Default has occurred and has not
otherwise been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs.

     (b) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator,
respectively, which 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 this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee
nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or
content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer or the Master
Servicer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical
information furnished


                                       67

<PAGE>

to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement.
Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument is
found not to conform to the form required by this Agreement in a material manner
the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to cause the
instrument to be corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the
Trustee's satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders and will, at the expense of the Issuing Entity, which expense
shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take such
further action as directed by the Certificateholders.

     (c) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not have any
liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its
negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable
for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, lost profits). No provision of this Agreement
shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its
own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

          (i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable
     with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in
     good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates as
     provided in Section 6.18 hereof;

          (ii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be
     deemed to have notice of any Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer
     Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
     knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
     such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
     the Trustee, and such notice references the Holders of the Certificates and
     this Agreement;

          (iii) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee
     (regardless of the capacity in which it is acting) or the Securities
     Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
     financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or
     in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
     grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
     against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and none of
     the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the
     Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for
     the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the
     Master Servicer under this Agreement;

          (iv) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be
     responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Servicer,
     the Depositor or the Sponsor.

     (d) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have no duty
hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document
it may receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon
it by the parties as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, shall promptly deliver to the Master Servicer upon receipt any
such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered
to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or to the Securities Administrator,
(ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, and (iii) which
contains information sufficient to


                                       68

<PAGE>

permit the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to make a determination that
the real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property.

     (e) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be personally
liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Certificateholders of any
Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or Securities
Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator under this Agreement.

     (f) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be required to
perform services under this Agreement, or to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties
hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable
ground for believing that the timely payment of its fees and expenses or the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Servicer or the Master Servicer under this Agreement except
during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be
vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer or the
Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     (g) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be held
liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Distribution Account resulting from
any investment loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the
extent that the Securities Administrator is the obligor and has defaulted
thereon).

     (h) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or
depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to
any re-recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to the
provision of any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund
other than from funds available in the Distribution Account, or (D) to confirm
or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master Servicer
delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement believed by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively,
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties.

     (i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable, in
its individual capacity, for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.

     (j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for special, indirect or
consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
respectively, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action.

     such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

          (iii) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be
     personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
     faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the
     discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

          (iv) The Securities Administrator shall not be bound, and unless a

     requested in writing to do so by the Holders of at least a majority in
     Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of
     Certificates; provided, however, that, if the payment within a reasonable

     Administrator, respectively, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the
     Securities Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of
     this Agreement, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may require
     reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability or payment of such
     estimated expenses from the Certificateholders as a condition to
     proceeding. The reasonable expense thereof shall be paid by the party
     requesting such investigation and if not reimbursed by the requesting party

     conferred on it by such appointment, provided that the Trustee or the
     Securities Administrator, respectively, shall continue to be responsible
     for its duties and obligations hereunder to the extent provided herein, and
     provided further that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall not
     be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such

<PAGE>

          (vi) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be under

     Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
     relation hereto, in each case at the request, order or direction of any of
     the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless

     willful misconduct in the performance of such act; and

          (viii) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be

          (ix) Should the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deem the
     nature of any action required on its part to be unclear, the Trustee or the
     Securities Administrator may require prior to such action that it be
     provided by the Depositor with reasonable further instructions.

          (x) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have
     any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of
     any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Sponsor
     or the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement of the Mortgage Loan Sale and
     Assignment Agreement, as applicable, or the eligibility of any Mortgage

     The Trustee and the Securities Administrator make no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other

Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer. If such
corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or national banking 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 or the
Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
respectively, shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 6.06.

fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the

appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, or of either of their property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation

or liquidation, (iii) a tax is imposed or threatened with respect to the Issuing
Entity by any state in which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or the
Issuing Entity held by the Trustee is located, or (iv) the continued use of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator would result in a downgrading of the
rating by any Rating Agency of any Class of Certificates with a rating, then the
Depositor shall remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, and the Depositor shall appoint a successor trustee or securities
administrator, respectively, by written instrument, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator so removed,
one copy each to the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as
applicable, and one copy each to the Master Servicer and the Servicer.

     (c) The Holders of more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates may at any time upon thirty
(30) days' written notice to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, and to the Depositor remove the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, by such written instrument, signed by such Holders
or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Depositor and one copy to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable; the Depositor shall thereupon appoint a successor
trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, in accordance with
this Section.

     (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or successor securities
administrator, respectively, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
shall become effective upon acceptance by the successor trustee or the successor
securities administrator, as applicable, of appointment, as provided in Section
6.07.

     Section 6.07. Successor Trustee or Successor Securities Administrator.

     (a) Any successor trustee or successor securities administrator appointed
as provided in Section 6.06 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor and to its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator, respectively, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or the
predecessor securities administrator shall become effective and such successor
trustee or successor securities administrator, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as trustee or securities administrator, respectively. The predecessor
trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Trustee Mortgage Files and
documents and statements related to each Trustee Mortgage File held by it
hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the
successor trustee, the entire Issuing Entity, together with all necessary
instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed
necessary to effect such transfer and such of the records or copies thereof
maintained by the predecessor trustee in the administration hereof as may be
requested by the successor trustee and shall thereupon be discharged from all
duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Depositor and
the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable,
shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the
successor trustee or successor securities administrator, respectively, all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     (b) No successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such appointment
such successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 6.05.


                                       73

<PAGE>

     (c) Upon acceptance by a successor trustee or successor securities
administrator of appointment as provided in this Section, the predecessor
trustee or predecessor securities administrator, respectively, shall mail notice

     Section 6.08. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities
Administrator.

     Any Person into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be
merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or Securities
Administrator shall be a party, or any Persons succeeding to the business of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be the successor to the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, respectively, 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 that, in the case of
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, such Person shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 6.05.

     Section 6.09. Appointment of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian.

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee,
the Depositor or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class
Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall
have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by the
Trustee, to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as separate
trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or
otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state
where the Trustee has its principal place of business where such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has been advised
by the Master Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or
advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage
Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal
requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing
a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Issuing
Entity is located. The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so
appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the
Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be
specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such
appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of
the Trustee. The obligation of the Trustee to make Advances pursuant to Section
5.04 hereof shall not be affected or assigned by the appointment of a
co-trustee.

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

          (i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
     Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be
     exercised solely by the Trustee;

          (ii) all other 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, co-trustee, or
     custodian jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any
     jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the
     Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
     which


                                       74

<PAGE>

     event such rights, powers, duties and obligations, including the holding of
     title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction,
     shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or
     custodian at the sole discretion of the Trustee;

          (iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by
     reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder;
     and

          (iv) the Trustee may at any time, by an instrument in writing executed
     by it, with the concurrence of the Depositor, accept the resignation of or
     remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or
     them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of
     this Agreement.

     (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VI. 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 given
to the Master Servicer.

     (d) Any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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, co-trustee or custodian 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.

     (e) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
6.05 hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment shall be
required under Section 6.07 hereof.

     (f) The Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent
necessary to fulfill the Trustee's obligations hereunder.

     (g) The Issuing Entity shall pay the reasonable compensation of the
co-trustees (which compensation shall not reduce any compensation payable to the
Trustee under such Section).

     Section 6.10. Authenticating Agents.

     (a) The Securities Administrator may appoint one or more Authenticating
Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Securities
Administrator in authenticating Certificates. If such an agent is so appointed
by the Securities Administrator, wherever reference is made in this Agreement to
the authentication of Certificates by the Securities Administrator or the
Securities Administrator's certificate of authentication, such reference shall
be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Securities Administrator by
an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf
of the Securities Administrator by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating
Agent must be a corporation organized and doing


                                       75

<PAGE>

business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such
laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal
or state authorities.

     (b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the
Securities Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

     (c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least
thirty (30) days' advance written notice of resignation to the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor. The Securities Administrator may at any time
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.10, the Securities Administrator may appoint a
successor authenticating agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to
the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor authenticating agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10. No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Securities Administrator.

     Section 6.11. Indemnification of Trustee and Securities Administrator.

     The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the
Depositor and the Issuing Entity; provided that the Issuing Entity's
indemnification under this Section 6.11 is limited by Section 4.01(f) for any
loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements (and, in connection with any custody agreement the
Trustee may enter pursuant to this Agreement, including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents or counsel)),
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of,
or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created
hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder
including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties
hereunder, provided that:

          (i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee or the Securities
     Administrator shall have given the Depositor written notice thereof
     promptly after the Trustee or Securities Administrator, respectively, shall
     have knowledge thereof;

          (ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee and
     the Securities Administrator shall cooperate and consult fully with the
     Depositor in preparing such defense;

          (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11,
     the Issuing Entity shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by
     the Trustee or the Securities


                                       76

<PAGE>

     Administrator entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor,
     which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and

          (iv) the Issuing Entity's indemnification obligations hereunder shall
     be limited to losses, liability, costs or expenses, payments in respect of
     which by the Issuing Entity would constitute "unanticipated expenses"
     within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)).

     The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, and shall be construed to include, but not be
limited to, any loss, liability or expense under any environmental law.

     Section 6.12. Fees and Expenses of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.

     The fees and expenses of the Trustee shall be paid by the Master Servicer
in accordance with a side letter agreement. The Securities Administrator shall
also be entitled to retain any and all investment earnings on amounts on deposit
in the Distribution Account pending the distribution of such funds to
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date (which compensation shall not be
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust). Any expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall be reimbursed to the extent provided in Section 6.11.

     Section 6.13. Collection of Monies.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Securities
Administrator may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect,
all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall
hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Issuing Entity
and shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement.

     Section 6.14. Servicer Events of Default and Master Servicer Events of
Default; Master Servicer or Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor Servicer;
Appointment of Successor Master Servicer.

     (a) "Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:

          (i) any failure by the Servicer to make any Advance, to deposit in the
     Master Servicer Collection Account or to remit to the Securities
     Administrator any payment required to be made under the terms of this
     Agreement on the day it is due;

          (ii) any material breach on the part of the Servicer of any other
     term, agreement, covenant, representation or warranty in this Agreement
     that has not been cured after written notice and a thirty (30) day curative
     period, except, with respect to Sections 9.11, 9.13(a), 9.13(b), 9.21(i)
     and 9.21(k), any material breach on the part of the Servicer of any term,
     agreement, covenant, representation or warranty that has not been cured
     after written notice and a twelve (12) day curative period;

          (iii) following entry against the Servicer of a decree or order of a
     court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the
     appointment of a trustee,


                                       77

<PAGE>

     conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian or sequestrator (or
     other similar official) for the Servicer in any federal or state
     bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
     liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of
     the Servicer's affairs, if such decree or order has remained in force
     undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

          (iv) upon consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a trustee,
     conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian or sequestrator (or
     other similar official) in, or commencement of a voluntary case under, any
     federal or state bankruptcy insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
     assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
     Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer's
     property;

          (v) upon the Servicer's (A) admitting in writing its inability to pay
     its debts generally as they become due, (B) filing a petition to take
     advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, (C)
     making an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (D) voluntarily
     suspending payment of its obligations; or

          (vi) the Servicer ceases to be eligible to sell mortgage loans to or
     service mortgage loans for FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA or ceases to be a
     HUD-approved mortgagee.

     If a Servicer Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, in each
and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Servicer Event of
Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by
this Agreement, by notice in writing to the Servicer, any of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee may (or the Trustee shall if so directed by
Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of
each Class of Certificates) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. On
or after the receipt by the Servicer and the Master Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Servicer, whether with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer;
and the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the defaulting 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.

     If any Servicer Event of Default shall occur, the Servicer, upon becoming
aware of the occurrence thereof, shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of
the nature and extent of such Servicer Event of Default. The Master Servicer or
the Trustee, upon becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, shall promptly
notify the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, the Depositor and each
Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Servicer Event of Default.

     Within ninety (90) days of the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, the Master
Servicer, unless another servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have
all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Servicer
thereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer's
failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be


                                       78

<PAGE>

considered a default by the Master Servicer hereunder. In addition, the Master
Servicer shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Servicer
prior to the issuance of any notice of termination. The Master Servicer shall
have no liability relating to any representations and warranties of the Servicer
set forth in this Agreement. In the Master Servicer's capacity as such
successor, the Master Servicer shall have the same limitations on liability
provided to the Servicer in this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Servicer
under this Agreement.

     The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Depositor and
the Trust Fund (pursuant to Section 6.11 but without regard to any annual
limitation thereunder), in the event that the Servicer does not reimburse the
Master Servicer under this Agreement, for all costs associated with the transfer
of servicing from the predecessor Servicer, including, without limitation, any
costs or expenses associated with the termination of the predecessor Servicer,
the appointment of a successor servicer, the complete transfer of all servicing
data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as
may be required by the Master Servicer or any successor servicer to correct any
errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the
Master Servicer or successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans property and
effectively (such costs, "Servicing Transfer Costs").

     Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be
unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or, with the consent of the
Depositor, appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance
institution servicer, or servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a
net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a
successor servicer as are set forth in this Agreement and reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor, as the successor to the Servicer in the
assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a servicer,
like the Servicer. Any entity designated by the Master Servicer as a successor
servicer may be an Affiliate of the Master Servicer; provided, however, that,
unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set
forth herein for a successor servicer, the Master Servicer, in its individual
capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable
to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate's actions and omissions in performing its
duties under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption,
the Master Servicer 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 that
permitted to the Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and such
successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with
respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent
herewith and therewith. Neither the Master Servicer nor any other successor
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
caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in
delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Servicer
to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Servicer to
deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Master Servicer as required by this
Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Servicer.

     (b) "Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one
of the following events:


                                       79

<PAGE>

          (i) any failure by the Master Servicer to make any Advance, as
     applicable, to deposit in the Distribution Account or to remit to the
     Securities Administrator any payment required to be made under the terms of
     this Agreement on the day it is due;

          (ii) any material breach on the part of the Master Servicer of any
     other term, agreement, covenant, representation or warranty in this
     Agreement that has not been cured after written notice and a thirty (30)
     day curative period, except, with respect to Sections 9.11, 9.13(a),
     9.13(b), 9.21(i) and 9.21(k), any material breach on the part of the Master
     Servicer of any term, agreement, covenant, representation or warranty that
     has not been cured after written notice and a twelve (12) day curative
     period;

          (iii) following entry against the Master Servicer of a decree or order
     of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the
     appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
     custodian or sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Master
     Servicer in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of
     debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
     the winding-up or liquidation of the Master Servicer's affairs, if such
     decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period
     of sixty (60) days;

          (iv) upon consent by the Master Servicer to the appointment of a
     trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian or
     sequestrator (or other similar official) in, or commencement of a voluntary
     case under, any federal or state bankruptcy insolvency, readjustment of
     debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
     relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially
     all of the Master Servicer's property; or

          (v) upon the Master Servicer's (A) admitting in writing its inability
     to pay its debts generally as they become due, (B) filing a petition to
     take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, (C)
     making an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (D) voluntarily
     suspending payment of its obligations.

     If a Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then,
in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Master
Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time
prescribed by this Agreement, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer either
(x) the Depositor or (y) the Trustee may (or the Trustee shall if so directed by
Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of
each Class of Certificates) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer, whether with respect to
the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee; and
the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the defaulting 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.

     If any Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, the Trustee, upon
becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, shall promptly notify the Depositor
and each Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Master Servicer Event of
Default.


                                       80

<PAGE>

     Within ninety (90) days of the time the Master Servicer receives a notice
of termination from the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.14, the Trustee,
unless another Master Servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor
in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have
all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master
Servicer thereunder, including the obligation to make Advances (subject to
Section 5.04), as applicable; provided, however, that any failure to perform
such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to
provide information required by this Agreement or this Agreement shall not be
considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall
have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to
the issuance of any notice of termination. The Trustee shall have no liability
relating to any representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth
in this Agreement. In the Trustee's capacity as such successor master servicer,
the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability provided to the Master
Servicer in this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Depositor and the
Trust Fund (pursuant to Section 6.11 but without regard to any annual limitation
thereunder), in the event that the Master Servicer does not reimburse the
Trustee under this Agreement, for all costs associated with the transfer of
servicing from the predecessor Master Servicer, including, without limitation,
any costs or expenses associated with the termination of the predecessor Master
Servicer, the appointment of a successor, and the complete transfer of all
documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable
it to assume the Master Servicer's duties hereunder.

     Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to
continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, or, with the consent of the Depositor,
appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance institution
servicer, or servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of
not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor
servicer as are set forth in this Agreement and reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor, as the successor to the Master Servicer in the assumption of all of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a servicer, like the Master
Servicer. Any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor servicer may be an
Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets
the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor
servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of
such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate's
actions and omissions in performing its duties under this Agreement. 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 that permitted to the Master Servicer under
this Agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be
conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith and therewith. Neither
the Trustee nor any other successor 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 caused by (i) the failure of the
Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or
records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required
by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the
Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required by this Agreement or (iv)
restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the
Master Servicer.


                                       81

<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the
Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or master servicing fee or for any
differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee or master servicing fee paid
hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer or successor
master servicer to act as successor servicer or successor master servicer, as
applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein.

     Section 6.15. Additional Remedies of the Master Servicer and the Trustee
Upon Event of Default.

     During the continuance of any Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer
Event of Default, so long as such Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer
Event of Default, as applicable, shall not have been remedied, the Master
Servicer (with respect to a Servicer Event of Default) and the Trustee (with
respect to a Master Servicer Event of Default), in addition to the rights
specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right to take all actions now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and
remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of
the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all
judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of
claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive
of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or
remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver
of any Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default, as
applicable.

     Section 6.16. Waiver of Servicer Events of Default and Master Servicer
Events of Default.

     More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of Certificateholders may
waive any default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default
by the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, in the performance of its
obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required
deposit to the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account,
respectively, that would result in a failure of the Securities Administrator to
make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates may
only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders. Upon
any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default, as applicable,
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

     Section 6.17. Notification to Holders.

     Upon termination of the Servicer or the Master Servicer or appointment of a
successor to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, in each case as provided
herein, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly mail
notice thereof by first class mail to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. The Securities Administrator
shall also, within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of any Servicer
Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default, of which it is notified,
give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders, unless such Servicer
Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.

     Section 6.18. Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During
Servicer and Master Servicer Event of Default.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance of
any Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default, Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, under
this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action
or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the
Servicer, Master Servicer, any successor servicer or any successor master
servicer from its rights and duties as servicer or master servicer) at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further,
that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Trustee, or the Master Servicer, as applicable, in accordance
with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed
may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed
would involve it in personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its
satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.

     Section 6.19. Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports.

     (a) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared on
behalf of the Issuing Entity, based upon information calculated in accordance
with this Agreement pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the
Securities Administrator shall file federal tax returns, all in accordance with
Article X hereof. The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file such state
income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by applicable law
relating to the Issuing Entity, and, if required by state law, and shall file
any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax law (to the
extent such documents are in the Securities Administrator's possession). The
Securities Administrator shall forward copies to the Depositor of all such
returns and Form 1099 supplemental tax information and such other information
within the control of the Securities Administrator as the Depositor may
reasonably request in writing, and shall distribute to each Certificateholder
such forms and furnish such information within the control of the Securities
Administrator as are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions to be
furnished to them, and will prepare and distribute to Certificateholders Form
1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise furnish information within the
control of the Securities Administrator) to the extent required by applicable
law.

     (b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"), on behalf of each REMIC, an application on IRS Form
SS-4 or shall obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number for each REMIC using
another reasonable method. If the application is filed on Form SS-4, the
Securities Administrator, upon receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer
Identification Number Assigned for each REMIC, shall promptly forward copies of
such notices to the Depositor, upon request. The Securities Administrator will
file an IRS Form 8811.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                         PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND
                        TERMINATION OF THE ISSUING ENTITY

     Section 7.01. Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Issuing Entity
Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.

     (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor
created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to
make payments to Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall
terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the
last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Issuing Entity and the disposition of all
REO Property, (ii) the sale of the property held by the Issuing Entity at
auction in accordance with Section 7.01(c) and (iii) the Latest Possible
Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Issuing Entity
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. Any
termination of the Issuing Entity shall be carried out in such a manner so that
the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a "qualified
liquidation" under the REMIC Provisions.

     (b) [Reserved]

     (c) Any termination of the Issuing Entity pursuant to clause (a)(ii) above
shall be effected by the auction by the Securities Administrator of all of the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties via a solicitation of bids in accordance with
procedures to be agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and the Depositor.
The Securities Administrator shall accept the highest such bid, provided that
such bid equals or exceeds the amount described in the definition of "Optional
Termination Price." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Optional Termination Price received by the Securities Administrator shall be
deposited by the Securities Administrator directly into the Distribution Account
no later than the Business Day prior to the date of termination.

     The right of the Securities Administrator to conduct an auction pursuant to
the preceding paragraph shall be conditioned upon the aggregate outstanding
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, at the time of such auction,
aggregating five (5) percent or less of the Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

     If the Issuing Entity is not terminated because a sufficient purchase price
is not achieved at such auction, first the Master Servicer or, if the Master
Servicer does not so purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer, may purchase all
of the Mortgage Loans at the Optional Termination Price, which similarly would
result in the termination of the Issuing Entity.

     (d) The Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
shall be reimbursed from the Optional Termination Price for any Advances,
Servicer Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, the cost of any auction
conducted pursuant to (c) above or other amounts with respect to the Mortgage
Loans that are reimbursable to such parties under this Agreement.

     Section 7.02. Procedure Upon Termination of Issuing Entity.


                                       84

<PAGE>

     (a) Notice of any optional termination pursuant to the provisions of
Section 7.01(c) specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final
distribution shall be made or the Purchase Date, shall be given promptly by the
Securities Administrator by first class mail to Certificateholders mailed no
later than the first day of the month in which the Distribution Date selected
for purchase of the Mortgage Loans occurs or upon (x) the sale of all of the
property of the Issuing Entity by the Securities Administrator or in the case of
a sale of assets of the Issuing Entity, or (y) upon the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Issuing Entity.
Such notice shall specify (A) the Purchase Date and the Distribution Date upon
which final distribution on the Certificates of all amounts required to be
distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Certificate Registrar's
Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to
such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the
Securities Administrator therein specified. The Securities Administrator shall
give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given
to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the
Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar with respect to the
Certificates shall terminate and the Securities Administrator shall terminate
the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect
to the Certificates, subject to the Securities Administrator's obligation
hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without
interest pending such payment.

     (b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three (3) months after the time specified
in the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice any Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may
take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two (2) years after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator shall, subject to applicable state law relating to
escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of
such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities
Administrator and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the
final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.

     (c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator, to
the extent that such expenses, if paid or reimbursed by the Issuing Entity,
would constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), in connection with any redemption or
termination or liquidation of the Issuing Entity shall be reimbursed from
proceeds received from the liquidation of the Issuing Entity.

     Section 7.03. Additional Issuing Entity Termination Requirements.

     (a) Any termination of the Issuing Entity shall be effected in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator
seeks and receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of such requesting
party), addressed to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the
failure of the Issuing Entity to comply with the requirements of this Section
7.03 will not (I) result in the imposition of taxes on any REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions or (II) cause any REMIC established hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:


                                       85

<PAGE>

          (i) Within eighty-nine (89) days prior to the time of the making of
     the final payment on the Certificates upon notification by the Depositor
     that it intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of the
     Issuing Entity, the Securities Administrator shall adopt a plan of complete
     liquidation prepared by the Depositor of the Issuing Entity on behalf of
     each REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the
     REMIC Provisions;

          (ii) Any sale of the assets of the Issuing Entity pursuant to Section
     7.01 or 7.02 shall be a sale for cash and shall occur at or after the time
     of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and prior to the time of
     making of the final payment on the Certificates;

          (iii) On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the
     Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal and
     interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and, after
     payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute or
     credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the
     Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other than
     cash retained to meet claims), and the Issuing Entity (and each REMIC)
     shall terminate at that time; and

          (iv) In no event may the final payment on the Certificates or the
     final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates be
     made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete
     liquidation is adopted.

     (b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby
agrees to accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the Securities
Administrator under this Section and to take such other action in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Securities Administrator.

                                 ARTICLE VIII.

                          RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

     Section 8.01. Limitation on Rights of Holders.

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

     (b) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as
Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon, under or with respect to this Agreement, unless


                                       86

<PAGE>

such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of a
Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default and of the
continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty
(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
and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given such
Trustee during such sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; 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 of any provision of this Agreement to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such
Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the
manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.

     Section 8.02. Access to List of Holders.

     (a) If the Securities Administrator is not acting as Certificate Registrar,
the Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Securities Administrator, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the
Certificate Registrar of a request by the Securities Administrator in writing, a
list, in such form as the Securities Administrator may reasonably require, of
the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most
recent Record Date.

     (b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to
as "Applicants") apply in writing to the Securities Administrator, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to
transmit, then the Securities Administrator shall, within five (5) Business Days
after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access
during the normal business hours of the Securities Administrator to the most
recent list of Certificateholders held by the Securities Administrator or shall,
as an alternative, send, at the Applicants' expense, the written communication
proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as they
appear in the Certificate Register.

     (c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency,
by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar and the Securities Administrator that neither the
Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Securities Administrator shall be
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names
and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived.

     Section 8.03. Acts of Holders of Certificates.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or
Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of


                                       87
<PAGE>

substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an "Act" of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for
any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, if made in
the manner provided in this Section.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by
the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is
by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

     (c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall
be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone other than the Securities Administrator) shall be proved
by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer nor the Depositor shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder
of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or
any successor to any such parties in reliance thereon, whether or not notation
of such action is made upon such Certificate.

                                  ARTICLE IX.

               ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

     Section 9.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.

     (a) Commencing on the Closing Date, the Servicer shall service each
Mortgage Loan in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

     (b) The Servicer shall maintain an EDP containing all information and
programming necessary to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section
2.01(a) hereof. The Mortgage Loans shall be grouped on the Servicer's EDP to
reflect the Trust Fund as the owner of the Mortgage Loans.

     (c) The Servicer may not waive, modify or vary any term of a Mortgage Note
without the Depositor's prior written consent. The Servicer shall comply with
all applicable federal, state and local legal and regulatory requirements
(including laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances) in connection with
the modification of the Mortgage Note.


                                       88

<PAGE>

     (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall
follow any reasonable directions given by the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and/or the Depositor with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

     (e) With the exception of Ancillary Fees and any other charges expressly
permitted by the Mortgage Note and applicable law, the Servicer covenants and
agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Sponsor,
charge or collect from any Mortgagor, or trustee under a deed of trust, any fees
of any kind including, but not limited to charges for amounts expended by the
Servicer, regardless of the characterization of the fee or charge.

     (f) The Trustee agrees to execute such limited powers of attorney provided
to it by the Servicer, in a form acceptable to it, as are necessary and
appropriate to assist the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
responsibilities under this Agreement.

     (g) In connection with its duties hereunder, in the event the Servicer
requires an original of any document contained in a Mortgagor's file to service
a Mortgage Loan, it shall submit a written request to the Trustee and its
Custodian and the Trustee, or its Custodian, shall provide the original document
to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the written
request, provided that (a) as to any recorded document, the applicable
recorder's office has returned the recorded document to the Servicer or (b) as
to the original title insurance policy, the Servicer has received such policy.
When requesting a release of documents from the Trustee, the Servicer shall use
the form attached hereto as Exhibit N. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Sponsor maintains agreements with
document custodians selected by it from time to time, pursuant to which such
custodians maintain Mortgage Loan files on behalf of the Sponsor. The Servicer
agrees to cooperate with such custodians and request from such custodians the
documents and Mortgage Files required by the Servicer which are maintained by
such custodians (with a copy of such request sent to the Sponsor).

     (h) The Servicer shall not, unless default by the related Mortgagor has
occurred or is imminent, knowingly permit any modification, waiver or amendment
of any material term of any Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to the
interest rate, the principal balance, the amortization schedule, or any other
term affecting the amount or timing of payments on the Mortgage Loan or the
collateral therefor) unless the Servicer shall have provided to the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in writing to
the effect that such modification, waiver or amendment would not cause an
Adverse REMIC Event.

     Section 9.02. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

     (a) If title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the
name of the Trustee or its designee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall not acquire title to any Mortgaged Property, or proceed with the
management of any REO Property, for which the Servicer has knowledge that such
Mortgaged Property or REO Property is affected by hazardous waste. The Servicer
shall either itself, or through an agent, manage, conserve, protect and operate
each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) on behalf of the Trust
Fund.

     In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection
with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
dispose of such REO Property not later than the end of the third taxable year
after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Servicer has
applied for and received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service
to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed
legislation and


                                       89

<PAGE>

under applicable state law, the Trust Fund may hold REO Property for a longer
period without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the
imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Servicer has
received such an extension, then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell
the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three
years as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If the Servicer has not
received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property
within the period ending 3 months before the end of such third taxable year
after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Servicer has received such an
extension, and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period
ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall,
before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable,
(i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair
market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may
be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior
to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case
may be. The Trustee shall sign any document (in a form acceptable to it)
prepared by the Servicer or take any other action reasonably requested by the
Servicer which would enable the Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to
request such grant of extension.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be held, rented (or allowed to continue to be
rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or
pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify
as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code;
or (ii) subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on
the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason
of Sections 860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any
such taxes.

     (b) The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the applicable
Collection Account, on a daily basis, upon two Business Days from receipt, all
revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall be permitted to
withdraw therefrom, to the extent of the amount of such revenues on deposit
therein, funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of
such REO Property, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any
hazard insurance and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the
Servicer.

     (c) If the Servicer elects to dispose of an REO Property without utilizing
the services of an agent, the Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of its
receipt of any and all bona fide offers to purchase that REO Property. Each such
REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon
such terms and conditions.

     If the Servicer utilizes the services of an approved agent to dispose of an
REO Property, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a copy of such
agent's marketing plan, which shall include, but not be limited to, (i) the
marketing time period, (ii) an estimate of the costs of any repairs or
improvements, (iii) the lowest acceptable sale price for the REO Property and
(iv) other proposed terms and conditions of sale. The REO Disposition shall be
carried out by the Servicer in accordance with the terms thereof. If the
Servicer receives a bona fide offer to purchase an REO Property and would like
to accept the offer, but the offer is outside the parameters of the approved
marketing plan, the Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with written
notification of the terms and conditions of the offer.

     The Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement
for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in
connection with such REO


                                       90

<PAGE>

Disposition. If the proceeds from an REO Disposition are insufficient to
reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, to the
extent such reimbursement will constitute an "unanticipated expense" (within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)) of a REMIC provided
for herein, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw any such deficiency from
amounts on deposit in the applicable Collection Account. All proceeds from an
REO Disposition, net of any reimbursement to the Servicer as provided above,
shall be remitted to the Master Servicer within three (3) Business Days
following receipt thereof.

     Section 9.03. Master Servicer's and Depositor's Right to Examine Servicer
Records.

     (a) The Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor and the Master
Servicer, its counsel, accountants (including outside accountants), supervisory
agents, examiners and other representatives in providing reasonable access
during normal business hours to examine and audit any and all of the books,
records, documentation or other information of the Servicer related to the
Mortgage Loans, which may be relevant to the performance or observance by the
Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

     (b) The examination and audit rights and other rights to access described
in clause (a) above shall be afforded by the Servicer at its offices without
charge, upon reasonable request, and during normal business hours or at such
other times as may be reasonable under applicable circumstances. The Servicer,
at its expense, shall make available all customary, reasonable office space,
facilities, and equipment for the visiting party and shall provide the visiting
party with access to reasonable cooperation with its officers and employees. The
salaries, travel, subsistence and other related expenses for the Depositor's
and/or the Master Servicer's representatives shall be borne by the Depositor
and/or the Master Servicer.

     Section 9.04. Legal Proceedings Involving the Servicer and/or the Mortgage
Loans.

     (a) The Servicer shall commence, defend, appear, or otherwise participate
in any foreclosure, condemnation, bankruptcy, or other legal proceedings
relating to a Mortgage Loan in the name of the Trustee and/or the Issuing
Entity. The Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, on a monthly basis, with
such written reports as it receives regarding any legal proceedings.

     (b) The Servicer shall commence all foreclosures, bankruptcies and other
legal proceedings in the name of the Trustee and/or the Issuing Entity unless
otherwise directed in writing by the Trustee.

     Section 9.05. Material Changes.

     The Servicer shall promptly report to the Master Servicer and the Depositor
any change in its business operations, financial condition, properties or assets
that could have a material adverse effect on the Servicer's ability to perform
its obligations hereunder. Events for which the Master Servicer and the
Depositor must receive notice include, but are not limited to, the following:

     (a) any merger or consolidation, any changes in the Servicer's ownership
whether directly or indirectly (including any change in ownership of the
Servicer's parent), or any significant reorganization;

     (b) any material changes in management ordered or required by a regulatory
authority supervising or licensing the Servicer;


                                       91

<PAGE>

     (c) the entry against the Servicer of a decree or order of a court or
agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a
trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian or sequestrator
(or other similar official) in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, if such decree
or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty
(60) days;

     (d) the consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a trustee,
conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian or sequestrator (or other
similar official) in, or commencement of a voluntary case under, any federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings;

     (e) upon the Servicer's (A) admitting in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, (B) filing a petition to take advantage of
any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, (C) making an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors or (D) voluntarily suspending payment of its
obligations;

     (f) entry of any court judgment or regulatory order in which the Servicer
is or may be required to pay a claim or claims that may have a material adverse
effect on the Servicer's financial condition;

     (g) any admission by the Servicer to the commission of, or any finding that
the Servicer has committed, any violation of any law, regulation or order in any
proceeding or audit commenced by any governmental, or regulatory authority, or
any proceeding commenced in any court of law;

     (h) the commencement of any class action law suits against the Servicer;
and

     (i) the Servicer's entry into any agreement with a third party that would
result in any material change in the financial status or ownership of the
Servicer or any merger of the Servicer.

     Section 9.06. Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.

     During the term of this Agreement, the Servicer shall furnish any reports
or documentation that the Master Servicer and/or the Depositor may reasonably
request. Reports requested may include reports not specified or otherwise
required by this Agreement or reports required to comply with any regulations
regarding any supervisory agents or examiners of the Master Servicer and/or the
Depositor, as applicable. All reports will be delivered in accordance with the
Master Servicer's and/or the Depositor's reasonable instructions and directions.
The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all
such action as the Master Servicer and/or the Depositor, as applicable, from
time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to
carry out the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 9.07. Servicer Not to Resign.

     The Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder
or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof (to other than
a third party in the case of outsourcing routine tasks such as taxes, insurance
and property inspection, in which case the Servicer shall be fully liable for
such tasks as if the Servicer performed them itself) nor sell or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior
written consent of the Master Servicer and the Depositor, which consent shall be
granted or withheld in


                                       92

<PAGE>

the reasonable discretion of such parties, provided, however, that (i) the
Servicer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder without prior written
consent of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to any entity that is directly
owned or controlled by the Servicer, and the Servicer guarantees the performance
of such entity hereunder, (ii) the Servicer is no longer permitted to act as
Servicer under applicable law as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel or (iii)
upon a sale of its servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans with the
prior written consent of the Sponsor. In the case of item (i) above, the
Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and the Depositor with a written
statement guaranteeing the successor entity's performance of the Servicer's
obligations under the Agreement.

     Section 9.08. Collection Accounts and Escrow Accounts.

     The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets. The Servicer shall create and maintain Collection Accounts and
Escrow Accounts for the deposit of all funds, except as otherwise provided
herein, received by the Servicer on the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be
responsible for reviewing and reconciling all collection accounts in accordance
with industry standards. The Servicer shall act promptly to resolve any
discrepancies. The Servicer shall be responsible for all expenses and
consequences for failure to reconcile the accounts.

     Section 9.09. Assumption Processing.

     Within three (3) Business Days of receipt by the Servicer of a request by a
Mortgagor to be released from liability for payment of a Mortgage Loan in
connection with an assumption of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall

assumption processing, the Sponsor shall provide the Servicer with all necessary
information to enable the Servicer to update its EDP.

     Section 9.10. Books and Records.

     The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a
complete set of records for the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer's books and records
shall clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Issuing Entity.
All documents, records and correspondence, regardless of the media in which they
are stored or maintained, are property of the Issuing Entity, and the Servicer
shall hold the same in a fiduciary capacity for the Issuing Entity. The Servicer
may retain copies of all such documents, records and correspondence as may be
necessary to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement.

the activities of such signatory during the preceding calendar year, or portion
thereof, and of the performance of such signatory under this Agreement or such
other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant has

officer's knowledge, based on such review, such signatory has fulfilled all its
obligations under this Agreement or such other applicable agreement in all
material respects throughout such


                                       93

<PAGE>

year or a portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof.

     The Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall deliver (or
otherwise make available) (and the Master Servicer and Securities Administrator
shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to deliver) to the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator on or before March 1 (with a
twelve-calendar day cure period) of each year, commencing in March 2008, an

     (a) Not later than March 1st for each calendar year (other than the
calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) the Servicer at its own
expense, shall furnish, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it to furnish (unless in the case of a Subcontractor, the Servicer
has notified the Depositor and the Master Servicer in writing that such
compliance statement is not required for the Subcontractor) to the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor an officer's assessment
of its compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria during the preceding
calendar year as required by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and
Item 1122 of Regulation AB (the "Assessment of Compliance"), which assessment (a
form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit S-1) shall contain (A) a statement
by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant
Servicing Criteria, (B) a statement that such party used the Relevant Servicing
Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (C) such

for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to
Section 9.21, including, if there has been any material instance of
noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such
failure and the nature and status thereof, which assessment shall be based on
the activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions
taken as a whole involving such party that are backed by the same asset type as
the Mortgage Loans, and (D) a statement that a registered public


                                       94

<PAGE>

accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such party's assessment of
compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria as of and for such period.

     By March 1 (with a ten-calendar day cure period) of each year, commencing
in March 2008, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the
Custodian each at its own expense, shall furnish or otherwise make available,
and each such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it
to furnish, each at its own expense, to the Securities Administrator and the
Depositor, a report on an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing

Relevant Servicing Criteria, a discussion of each such failure and the nature
and status thereof, and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm
has issued an attestation report on such party's assessment of compliance with

     No later than the end of each fiscal year for the Trust for which a 10-K is
required to be filed, the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Custodian shall
each forward to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor the name of each
Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing
Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of compliance prepared by
such Servicing Function Participant (provided, however, that the Master Servicer
need not provide such information to the Securities Administrator so long as the
Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same Person). When the
Servicer, the Master Servicer, and the Securities Administrator (or any
Servicing Function Participant engaged by them) submit their assessments to the
Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, such
parties will also at such time include the assessment and attestation pursuant
to this Section 9.13 of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it.

     Promptly after receipt of each report on assessment of compliance, (i) the
Depositor shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with such
Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by any such party as to the nature of any material
instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria by such party,
and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that the assessments
individually address the Relevant Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth

exceptions.

     The Master Servicer shall include all annual reports on assessment of

terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under or resigns pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement, as the case may be,
such party shall provide, an assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section
9.13, coupled with an attestation as required in this Section 9.13, or such
applicable agreement notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or
resignation.

     (b) Not later than March 1st for each calendar year (other than the
calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) the Servicer at its own
expense, shall


                                       95

<PAGE>

cause, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause
(unless in the case of a Subcontractor, the Servicer has notified the Depositor
and the Master Servicer in writing that such report is not required for the
Subcontractor) a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent
registered public accountants (who may also render other services to the
Servicer, the Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report (the
"Accountant's Attestation") to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
and the Depositor to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation
regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an
assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and
(ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with
standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Servicer
Accounting Oversight Board, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such
party's compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all
material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such
party's assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. 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. Such Accountant's 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.

     By March 1 (with a ten-calendar day cure period) of each year, commencing
in March 2008, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the
Custodian, each at its own expense, shall cause, and each such party shall cause
any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own
expense, a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other
services to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, or
such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish an
attestation report to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the
effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from
the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has
complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation
engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board,
it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party's compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it
cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party's assessment of
compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. 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.

     (c) Promptly after receipt of each assessment of compliance and attestation
report, the Securities Administrator shall confirm that each assessment
submitted pursuant to Section 9.13(a) is coupled with an attestation meeting the
requirements of Section 9.13(b) and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.

     The Master Servicer shall include each such attestation furnished to it by
the Servicer with its own attestation to be submitted to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Section.

     In the event the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Custodian, the Servicer or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any
such party is terminated, assigns its rights and duties under, or resigns
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any applicable Custodial Agreement,
as the case may be, such party shall cause a registered public accounting firm
to


                                       96

<PAGE>

provide an attestation pursuant to this Section 9.13, or such other applicable
agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation.

     Section 9.14. Servicing Compensation.

     (a) Subject to the following paragraph, as compensation for its services
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee payable with
respect to each Mortgage Loan that it services. As to each Mortgage Loan, the
Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly from payments of interest on such
Mortgage Loan prior to the deposit of such payments into the applicable
Collection Account, shall accrue at the applicable Servicing Fee Rate, and shall
be computed on the basis of the same principal amount and for the same period
respecting which such interest payment was computed.

     (b) The Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan shall be payable solely from
(i) the interest portion of the related Monthly Payment (to the extent paid by
the Mortgagor, but only if a full interest payment is received), or (ii) from
any payment of interest made with respect to the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds
of foreclosure or any judgment, writ of attachment or levy against the Mortgagor
or the Mortgagor's assets, or (iii) from funds paid in connection with any
prepayment in full, or (iv) from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds.

     (c) As additional compensation hereunder, the Servicer may retain (i) all
net interest earnings on balances maintained in the Collection Account and
Escrow Accounts and (ii) the Ancillary Fees.

     (d) The Servicer's right to the Servicing Fee shall not be transferred in
whole or in part except in connection with any permitted transfer of all the
Servicer's obligations under this Agreement. The Servicer shall be required to
pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided for herein.

     Section 9.15. Indemnification.

     (a) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Issuing Entity, the Certifying Person, the
Depositor and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from, and will reimburse the
Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses incurred by any of the Indemnified
Parties to the extent that such Losses result from, are caused by or arise out
of any one or more of the following:

          (i) Any material misrepresentations made by the Servicer in this
     Agreement, or in any schedule, exhibit, or certificate furnished pursuant
     hereto;

          (ii) Any material breach of any of the representations and warranties
     of the Servicer or the nonfulfillment of any term, covenant, condition or
     obligation of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or in any schedule,
     statement, exhibit, or certificate furnished pursuant hereto, or any
     default or failure to perform by the Servicer hereunder;

          (iii) Any failure of the Servicer to comply with Accepted Servicing
     Practices in connection with servicing the Mortgage Loans;


                                       97

<PAGE>

          (iv) Any liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the
     Servicer of any nature whatsoever relating to the Servicer's obligations
     under this Agreement, to the extent that any related Loss to the Master
     Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Issuing Entity or
     the Depositor is not increased by negligence, bad faith or willful
     misconduct on the part of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
     Administrator, the Issuing Entity or the Depositor; or

          (v) Any non-compliance with the terms of the powers of attorney or the
     use thereof that results in a Loss to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
     Securities Administrator, the Issuing Entity or the Depositor.

     (b) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer and each of its
officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a
breach of the obligations of the Servicer under Sections 9.11, 9.13 and 9.21
(including particularly any failure by the Servicer, any Sub-servicer or any
Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants'
letter or other material when and as required therein) or the Servicer's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. In
addition, the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each
of its officers, directors and affiliates and the Master Servicer from and
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any Back-Up Certification, the
Annual Statement of Compliance, the Assessment of Compliance, the Accountant's
Attestation, any Additional Disclosure or other information provided by or on
behalf of the Servicer or on behalf of any subservicer or subcontractor of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 9.11, 9.13 and 9.21 (the "Servicer Information"),
or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by
way of clarification, that clause (ii) of this paragraph shall be construed
solely by reference to the Servicer Information and not to any other information
communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether the
Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or
separately from such other information.

     If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient
to hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with
any conduct for which it is providing indemnification for under this Section
9.15(b), agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
and the relative benefit of the respective parties.

     The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9.15(b) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to
this Agreement.

     The indemnity provided in this Section 9.15 shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Issuing Entity or the Depositor or its
representatives. The provisions of this Section 9.15 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.

     Section 9.16. Non Solicitation.

     For as long as the Servicer services the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
covenants that it will not, and that it will ensure that its affiliates and
agents, will not, directly solicit or provide information for any other party to
solicit for prepayment or refinancing of any of the Mortgage Loans by the
related Mortgagors. It is understood that the promotions undertaken by the
Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, or certain segments
thereof, shall not constitute solicitation as that term is used in this Section
9.16.

     Section 9.17. Successor to the Servicer.

     Simultaneously with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
duties under this Agreement (a) the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii)
appoint a successor meeting the eligibility requirements set forth herein and
which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement with the termination of the
Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. If the
Master Servicer shall succeed to and assume the Servicer's responsibilities,
rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, such succession shall not
be effective prior to ninety (90) days after the Master Servicer's knowledge
that the Servicer shall be terminated hereunder. The Servicer shall not be
removed hereunder prior to the effectiveness of the assumption of its
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations by the successor thereto. Any
successor to the Servicer shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and each Rating Agency. Each Rating Agency must deliver to the
Master Servicer a letter to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not
result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of
any of the Certificates. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it
and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation
shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. In the
event that the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this
Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the
Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from
the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date
thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to
exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might
impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The
resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections
shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this
Section 9.17 and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations
and warranties made herein and the remedies available to the Master Servicer
herein, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement
regarding indemnification and nonsolicitation shall be applicable to the
Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or
the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 9.18. Statements to the Master Servicer.

     (a) Not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month, the Servicer
shall furnish to the Master Servicer a delinquency report in the form set forth
in Exhibit D-1, a monthly remittance advice in the form set forth in Exhibit
D-2, and a realized loss report in the form set forth in Exhibit D-3, each in a
mutually agreeable electronic format, or in such other format or, solely with
respect to Exhibits D-1 and D-2, such other content, as mutually agreed to by
the Servicer and the Master Servicer, as to the


                                       99

<PAGE>

remittance on such Servicer Remittance Date and as to the period ending on the
last day of the month preceding such Servicer Remittance Date.

     (b) The Servicer shall provide the Securities Administrator with such
information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Securities
Administrator to prepare its federal income tax return as the Securities
Administrator may reasonably request from time to time.

     (c) The Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor,
evidence of the authorization of the person signing any certification or
statement, copies or other evidence of fidelity bond insurance and errors and
omission insurance policy, financial information and reports, and such other
information (including, but not limited to, annual financial statements,
insurance policies and authorized officers lists) related to the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer of the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer's performance hereunder.

     Section 9.19. Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.

     Any entity into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any
entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Servicer shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer 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 servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of
Section 9.17 with respect to the qualifications of a successor servicer.

     Section 9.20. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer.

     Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents 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 Servicer or any such Person against any breach
of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Servicer or
any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties
or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer shall be
indemnified by the Issuing Entity 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 or any other unanticipated or
extraordinary expense, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. The Servicer shall not 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 the 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 Issuing Entity, and the Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.

     Section 9.21. Periodic Filings.

     (a) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event
requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and if
requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file
on behalf of the Issuing Entity a Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act,
provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with
the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a
Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (other
than the initial Form 8-K) ("Form 8-K Disclosure Information") shall be reported
by the parties set forth on Exhibit W to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor, and the Securities
Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to
determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K except
as set forth in the next paragraph.

     (b) For so long as the Issuing Entity is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, following the occurrence of a Reportable Event
(A) each party listed on Exhibit W hereto shall be required to provide to the
Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known, in
EDGAR-compatible format or in such other format as agreed upon by the Securities
Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure
Information if applicable, together with the form set forth on Exhibit U (the
"Additional Disclosure Notification") by the close of business New York City
time on the 2nd Business Day following the occurrence of such Reportable Event
and (B) the Depositor, shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove,
as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form
8-K. The Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or
enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit W of their duties under
this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Form 8-K
Disclosure Information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable
fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in
connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K
pursuant to this paragraph.

     (c) After preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon
request, forward electronically a copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for
review. Promptly, but no later than the close of business on the third Business
Day after the Reportable Event, the Depositor shall notify the Securities
Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes
to or approval of such Form 8-K. In the absence of receipt of any written
changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 8-K,
the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is
in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution
and filing of the Form 8-K. A duly authorized representative of the Master
Servicer shall sign each Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a
previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will
follow the procedures set forth in Section 9.21(n).

     (d) Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the
Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet
website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by the
Securities Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its
duties under this Section 9.21 related to the timely preparation, execution and
filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon the other parties hereto strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this
Section 9.21. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 9.21
related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is also
contingent upon the Servicer, the Custodian and any Servicing Function
Participant strictly observing deadlines no later than those set forth in this
paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this


                                      101

<PAGE>

Agreement in the delivery to the Securities Administrator of any necessary Form
8-K Disclosure Information pursuant to the Custodial Agreement or any other
applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto or the Servicer, Custodian or Servicing
Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
8-K.

     (e) Within fifteen days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted
extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall, on
behalf of the Issuing Entity and in accordance with industry standards, prepare
and file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval
System (EDGAR), a Form 10-D with (1) a copy of the Monthly Statement for such
Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the
Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D ("Additional Form
10-D Disclosure") shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit X to the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator and directed and approved by the
Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Securities Administrator
will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare
any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure except as set forth in the next paragraph.

     (f) As set forth in Exhibit X hereto, for so long as the Issuing Entity is
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, within five (5)
calendar days after the related Distribution Date (i) each party listed on
Exhibit X hereto shall be required to provide to the Depositor and the
Securities Administrator, to the extent known, in EDGAR-compatible format or in
such other format as agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party,
the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure if applicable
together with the Additional Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor
will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Securities
Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the
performance by the parties listed on Exhibit X of their duties under this
paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure Information. The Depositor will be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in
connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D
pursuant to this paragraph.

     (g) After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall, upon
request, forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for
review (provided that such Form 10-D includes any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure). Within two Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later
than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall
notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished
electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence
of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not
request a copy of a Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may
proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized
representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D
cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended,
the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section
9.21(n). Promptly (but not later than one Business Day) after filing with the
Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet
website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the
Securities Administrator. Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by
checking "yes" or


                                      102

<PAGE>

"no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been
subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby
represents to the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such
required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to
such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after
the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form
10-D, if the answer to the questions should be "no." The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator of its respective duties under this Section 9.21
related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is
contingent upon the other parties hereto strictly observing all applicable
deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 9.21. The
Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 9.21 related to the
timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is also contingent upon
the Servicer, the Custodian and any Servicing Function Participant strictly
observing deadlines no later than those set forth in this paragraph that are
applicable to the parties to this Agreement in the delivery to the Securities
Administrator of any necessary Additional Form 10-D Disclosure pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement or any other applicable agreement. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Securities Administrator will have any liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D resulting from the
Securities Administrator's inability or failure to receive any information
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D on a timely
basis.

     (h) On or prior to the 90th calendar day after the end of the fiscal year
for the Issuing Entity or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act (the "10-K Filing Deadline") (it being understood that the fiscal year for
the Issuing Entity ends on December 31st of each year) commencing in March 2008,
the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Issuing Entity and in
accordance with industry standards, prepare and file with the Commission via
EDGAR a Form 10-K with respect to the Issuing Entity. Such Form 10-K shall
include the following items, in each case, as applicable, to the extent they
have been delivered to the Securities Administrator within the applicable time
frames set forth in this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement (i) an annual
compliance statement for the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties
(together with the Custodian, each a "Reporting Servicer"), as described in
Section 9.11 of this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement; provided, however,
that the Securities Administrator, at its discretion, may omit from the Form
10-K any annual compliance statement that is not required to be filed with such
Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation AB; (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of
compliance with Servicing Criteria for each Reporting Servicer (unless the
Depositor has determined that such compliance statement is not required by
Regulation AB), as described in Section 9.13 of this Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement, and (B) if any Reporting Servicer's report on assessment of
compliance with Servicing Criteria described in Section 9.13 identifies any
material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of
noncompliance, or if any Reporting Servicer's report on assessment of compliance
with Servicing Criteria described in Section 9.13 of this Agreement is not
included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not
included and an explanation why such report is not included; provided, however,
that the Securities Administrator, at its discretion, may omit from the Form
10-K any assessment of compliance or attestation report described in clause
(iii) below that is not required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to
Regulation AB; (iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report
for each Reporting Servicer, as described in Section 9.13 of this Agreement and
the Custodial Agreement, and (B) if any registered public


                                      103

<PAGE>

accounting firm attestation report described under Section 9.13 of this
Agreement identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure
identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public
accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form
10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such
report is not included, and (iv) a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit T, executed by the senior officer in charge of
securitizations of the Master Servicer. Any disclosure or information in
addition to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K
("Additional Form 10-K Disclosure") shall be reported by the parties as set
forth in Exhibit Y to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and
directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and
the Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure except or
set forth in the next paragraph.

     (i) As set forth in Exhibit Y hereto, no later than March 1 (with a ten
calendar day cure period) of each year that the Issuing Entity is subject to the
Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in March 2008, (i) the parties
listed on Exhibit Y hereto shall be required to provide to the Depositor and the
Securities Administrator, to the extent known, in EDGAR-compatible format or in
such other format as agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party,
the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable
together with the Additional Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor
will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and shall forward such
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure. The Securities Administrator has no duty under
this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on
Exhibit Y of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure
from such parties any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure Information. The Depositor
will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the
Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.

     (j) After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon
request, forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for
review. Within three Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than
March 25th, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing
(which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such
Form 10-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if
the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 10-K, the Securities
Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is in final form
and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing of
the Form 10-K. A senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master
servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on
time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities
Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 9.21(n). Promptly
(but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the
Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final
executed copy of each Form 10-K prepared and filed by the Securities
Administrator. Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes"
or "no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been
subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby
represents to the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such
required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to
such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the 15th calendar day of
March in any year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act, if the answer to the questions should be "no."

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 9.21
related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is
contingent upon such parties (and any Servicing Function Participant) strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this
Section 9.21, Section 9.11 and Section 9.13. The Depositor acknowledges that the
performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its
duties under this Section 9.21 related to the timely preparation, execution and
filing of Form 10-K is also contingent upon the Servicer, the Custodian and any
Servicing Function Participant strictly observing deadlines no later than those
set forth in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this Agreement
in the delivery to the Securities Administrator of any necessary Additional Form
10-K Disclosure, any annual statement of compliance and any assessment of
compliance and attestation pursuant to the Custodial Agreement or any other
applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 10-K resulting from the Securities Administrator's
inability or failure to receive any information from any other party hereto or
the Servicer, Custodian or Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare,
execute or file such Form 10-K.

     (k) Each Form 10-K shall include a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification, which
shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T. The Servicer shall sign and
provide, and the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to sign and
provide, to the person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (the
"Certifying Person") by March 1 (with a ten day cure period) of each year in
which the Issuing Entity is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act and otherwise within a reasonable period of time upon request, a
certification (a "Back-Up Certification") (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit Q) upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying
Person acts as an officer and such entity's officers, directors and affiliates
(collectively, with the Certifying Person, the "Certification Parties") can
reasonably rely. The senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the
master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the
Trust. Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted by e-mail at
cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com or by facsimile at 410-715-2380. In the
event any such party or Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party
is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any other
applicable agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up
Certification to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.21 with respect
to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any other applicable
agreement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall not be required to deliver a
Back-Up Certification to each other if both are the same Person and the Master
Servicer is the Certifying Person and (ii) the Master Servicer shall not be
obligated to sign the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification in the event that it does not
receive any Back-Up Certification required to be furnished to it pursuant to
this section or any Custodial Agreement.

     (l) The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any
items with the Commission other than those specified in this section and the
Master Servicer shall execute any and all Form 10-Ds, 8-Ks and 10-Ks required
hereunder.

     (m) On or prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities
Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Securities
Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification relating
to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the Issuing Entity under
the Exchange Act.

     (n) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file
with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K
required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information
was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines
set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities
Administrator will promptly notify electronically the Depositor of such
inability to make a timely filing with the Commission. In the case of Form 10-D
and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file a
Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A and 10K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of
the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will,
upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the
approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on
the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Issuing Entity. In the event
that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, in
connection with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than, in the case of
Form 10-D, for the purpose of restating any Monthly Statement), Additional Form
10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information, the Securities Administrator
will electronically notify the Depositor and such other parties to the
transaction as are affected by such amendment, and such parties will cooperate
to prepare any necessary 8-K/A, 10-D/A or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or
any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by duly authorized
representative or a senior officer in charge of master servicing, as applicable,
of the Master Servicer. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 9.21 related
to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any
amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party
performing its duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the
Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage
or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare,
execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to
Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto or the Servicer, any Custodian or any
Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file
such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K.

     (o) If the Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or
promulgates additional rules or regulations with respect to Regulation AB or
otherwise, or if other changes in applicable law occur, that would require the
reporting arrangements, or the allocation of responsibilities with respect
thereto, described in this Section 9.21, to be conducted differently than as
described, the Depositor, and the Securities Administrator will reasonably
cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 9.21 in order to comply with
such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 9.21. Any
such amendment shall be made in accordance with Section 11.03 without the
consent of the Certificateholders, and may result in a change in the reports
filed by the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Issuing Entity under the
Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor, and the Securities
Administrator shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to
this Section 9.21 that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under
this Agreement.

     (p) The Depositor and the Securities Administrator agree to use their good
faith efforts to cooperate in complying with the requirements of this Section
9.21.

     (q) Each of the parties agrees to provide to the Securities Administrator
such additional information related to such party as the Securities
Administrator may reasonably request, including evidence of the authorization of
the person signing any certificate or statement, financial information and
reports, and such other information related to such party or its performance
hereunder.

     (r) Any notice or notification required to be delivered by the Securities
Administrator or Master Servicer to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 9.21,
may be delivered via facsimile to (212) 449-2700, via email to paul_park@ml.com
or telephonically by calling Paul Park at (212) 449-6380.

     Section 9.22. Compliance with Regulation AB.

     Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of
Sections 9.11, 9.13 and 9.21 is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with
the provisions of Regulation AB, as such may be amended or clarified from time
to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that the parties' obligations
hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with
any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus
among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of
counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB and the
parties shall comply with requests made by the Depositor for delivery of
additional or different information as the Depositor may determine in good faith
is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB. Any such
supplementation or modification shall be made in accordance with Section 11.03
without the consent of the Certificateholders, and may result in a change in the
reports filed by the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Issuing Entity
under the Exchange Act.

     Section 9.23. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and
Fidelity Coverage.

     (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire
insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount
which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current principal balance of
such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage
or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement
cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a
part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such
amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause
contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause
to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in
an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (w) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (x) the
outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became
an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Loan Rate and related Servicing
Advances. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard
policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property
subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans
held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, within
two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 4.01. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
It is understood and agreed that no earthquake, windstorm or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor 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 or REO Property is
at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Servicer will
cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood
insurance shall be


                                      107

<PAGE>

in an amount equal to the lesser of (y) the unpaid principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan and (z) the maximum amount of such insurance available for
the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program
(assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).

     (b) If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket fire insurance
policy with extended coverage 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 two sentences of this Section 9.23, it
being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in
which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying
with the first two sentences of this Section 9.23, and there shall have been one
or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under
the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its
activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such policy.

                                   ARTICLE IXA

                               THE MASTER SERVICER

     Section 9A.01 Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor
and oversee the obligation of the Servicer to service and administer their
respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and
administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices.
Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicer as
necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations
hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other
data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer and shall cause the
Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be
performed or observed by such Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall independently and separately monitor the Servicer's servicing activities
with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such
monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly
basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicer's and Master
Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the
Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator
as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in
Section 4.02, and prepare any other information and statements required to be
forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile
the results of its monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer to the
Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement.

     If the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same
entity, then at any time the Master Servicer is terminated as Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator shall likewise be removed as securities
administrator.

     Section 9A.02 Monitoring of the Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall be
responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by the
Servicer with its duties under this Agreement. In the review of the Servicer's
activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer's certificate of the
Servicer with regard to such Servicer's compliance with the terms this


                                      108

<PAGE>

Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines
that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with this Agreement, or
that a notice should be sent pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the
occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such
termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor thereof and the
Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate.

     (b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its
obligations in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the preceding
paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer thereunder and
act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or, if the Master Servicer is
unwilling or unable to act as a servicer, the Master Servicer shall cause the
Trustee to enter in to a new servicing agreement with a successor servicer
selected by the Master Servicer that is eligible in accordance with the criteria
specified in this Agreement; provided, however, it is understood and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition
(not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully
transferred to such successor servicer. In either event, such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
this Agreement and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such
form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer,
in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the
related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense subject to Section 9A.02(c), provided that the
Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action
except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable
indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

     (c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer
related to a termination of the Servicer, appointment of a successor servicer or
the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to
this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses
and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the
potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by the
Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer
of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully and timely
reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection
Account pursuant to Section 4.02(a).

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

     (f) If the Master Servicer acts as servicer, it will not assume liability
for the representations and warranties of the Servicer that it replaces.

     Section 9A.03 Power to Act; Procedures. The Master Servicer shall master
service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to
the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all
things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to
the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related


                                      109

<PAGE>

Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and
(iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the
Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 9A.02, shall
not permit the Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail
to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control
and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the
REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause any
REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of a tax upon the Issuing Entity (including but not limited to the
tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and
the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)
unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the
expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will
not would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC created hereunder. The Trustee
shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing
Officer, with any limited powers of attorney (in form acceptable to the Trustee)
empowering the Master Servicer or the Servicer to execute and deliver
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and
to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage
Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement, and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer
may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance
with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no
liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or
the Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is
likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such
action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be
adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state if such
action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in
the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof. In the
performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent
contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in
the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.

     Section 9A.04 Liabilities of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall
be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations
specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, herein.

     Section 9A.05 Merger or Consolidation of the Master Servicer.

     (a) The Master Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its
incorporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as
a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under
this Agreement.

     (b) Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Master Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

     Section 9A.06 Indemnification from the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in
connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action
(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this
Agreement or the Certificates (i) related to the Master Servicer's failure to
perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss,
liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement)
or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case,
that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened
claim or legal action), the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall have
given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice of such claim or
legal action promptly after the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall
have received knowledge thereof. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the
termination of this Agreement.

     9A.07 Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others. Subject
to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons
pursuant to Section 9A.06:

     (a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Indemnified Persons, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Certificateholders
for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against
any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person's willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.

     (b) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of 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.

     (c) The Master Servicer, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Master Servicer or the Custodian shall be indemnified by the
Issuing Entity and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their
part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to,
any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal
action) relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than (i) any such
loss, liability or expense related to the Master Servicer's failure to perform
its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability
or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or to
the Custodian's failure to perform its duties under the Custodial Agreement,
respectively, or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
the Master Servicer's or the Custodian's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or under the Custodial
Agreement, as applicable, or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable.

     (d) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under
this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion,
undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect
to


                                      111

<PAGE>

this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests
of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs
of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs
and liabilities of the Issuing Entity, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Collection Account as
provided by Section 4.02(a). Nothing in this Subsection 9A.07(d) shall affect
the Master Servicer's obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are
necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Section 9A.01.

     (e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this
Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations
concerning potential liabilities which the Issuing Entity might incur as a
result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged
Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such
potential liabilities.

     (f) The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of
the Servicer.

     Section 9A.08 Master Servicer Not to Resign. Except as provided in Section
9A.10, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that any such duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law and such impermissibility cannot
be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Independent Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall
become effective until Sponsor or the Trustee or a successor to the Master
Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with
Section 6.14 hereof. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the
resignation of the Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator are the same entity, then at any time the Master Servicer is
terminated as master servicer, the Securities Administrator shall likewise be
removed as securities administrator.

     Section 9A.09 Successor Master Servicer. In connection with the appointment
of any successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master
Servicer, the Sponsor or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the Mortgage
Loans as Sponsor or the Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree.
If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair
price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations of market
value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family
mortgage loans.

     Section 9A.10 Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing. The Master Servicer
may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in its
entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i)
the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (a) shall
be a Person which shall be qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 (unless
otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c)
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing
signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which
contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as
master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the
effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior
written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer
and each Rating Agency's rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior
to


                                      112

<PAGE>

such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a
letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and
(iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Independent
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this
Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with
the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any
liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

     Section 9A.11 Compensation for the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
will be entitled to all income and gain realized from any investment of funds in
the Master Servicer Collection Account, pursuant to Article IV, for the
performance of its activities hereunder. Servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or
otherwise (but not including any prepayment premium or penalty) shall be
retained by the applicable Servicer and shall not be deposited in the Collection
Account. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE X.

     Section 10.01. REMIC Administration.

     (a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made
on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the

Latest Possible Maturity Date.

     (c) The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any
governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities Administrator
shall pay any and all tax-related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC,

or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the
extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including
expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described
in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties)
are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities
Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax

     (d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare, sign and file all of each
REMIC's federal and appropriate state tax and information returns as such
REMIC's direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns
shall be borne by the Securities Administrator.


                                      113

<PAGE>

     (e) The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of
each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide,
upon receipt of additional reasonable compensation, to the Treasury or other
governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of
any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified
person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any
person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code.

     (f) The Securities Administrator and the Holders of Certificates shall take
any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain
the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist
each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate
shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to
take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions,
if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any
REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on
Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event")
unless the Securities Administrator and the Trustee have received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect
that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect
to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action,
which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder
of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall
take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no Adverse REMIC
Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition of additional
taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall take any such
action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the written consent
of the Residual Certificateholders. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator
may consult with counsel (and conclusively rely upon the advice of such counsel)
before giving such written advice, and the cost of the same shall be borne by
the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no
event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator.

     (g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all
taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities.
To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the
Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes
out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the
Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out
of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts
otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case
may be.

     (h) The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on
an accrual basis.

     (i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.


                                      114

<PAGE>

     (j) The Securities Administrator shall not enter into any arrangement by
which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

     (k) [Reserved]

     (l) The Class A-R Holder shall act as "tax matters person" with respect to
each REMIC and irrevocably appoints the Securities Administrator to act as its
agent in such roles.

     (m) None of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Depositor, as assignees under this Agreement, shall provide any consent
pursuant to this Agreement or knowingly take any action under this Agreement
that would conflict with or violate the provisions of this Article X.

     Section 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

     None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of
the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a
Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Issuing Entity, (iii) the termination
of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution
pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC,
nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor
accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has
received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale,
disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution,
or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any such REMIC as a
REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificate as the
regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal
on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or
assigned to the Issuing Entity (except pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement) or (d) cause any such REMIC to be subject to any tax including a tax
on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions.

     Section 10.03. Indemnification with Respect to Prohibited Transactions or
Loss of REMIC Status.

     In the event that a REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as
a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited
transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the
negligent performance by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of its
duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify the Certificateholders of the
related Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from such negligence; provided,
however, that the liability of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
shall not be joint and several and in no case shall the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator be liable for the other's actions. Furthermore, the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall not be liable for
any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Depositor or the
Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for any such Losses resulting from
misinformation provided by any of the foregoing parties on which the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, has relied. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, have any liability (1) for any action or omission
that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or
which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or the Mortgage
Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of
malfeasance, willful


                                      115

<PAGE>

misconduct or negligent performance by the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, with respect to its duties and obligations set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate (in addition to payment
of principal and interest on the Certificates).

     Section 10.04. REO Property.

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall not, except to the extent provided in this Agreement, knowingly
permit the Servicer to rent, lease, otherwise earn income or take any other
action on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause
such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the
meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any REMIC
of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of section
860F(a)(2) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is
subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless the Servicer has provided to
the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of
Counsel concluding that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not
adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and any income generated for
any REMIC by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon
such REMIC.

     (b) The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer (to the extent provided in
this Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair
market value. In any event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause
the Servicer (to the extent provided in this Agreement) to, dispose of any REO
Property within three (3) years of its acquisition by the Issuing Entity unless
the Master Servicer or the Servicer (on behalf of the Issuing Entity) has
received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under
applicable state law, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period
without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the
imposition of a Federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If such an extension has
been received, then the Master Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee
hereunder, shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell
the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three
years as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If such an extension
has not been received and the Master Servicer or the Servicer, acting on behalf
of the Issuing Entity hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within
thirty-three (33) months after its acquisition by the Issuing Entity or if such
an extension, has been received and the Master Servicer or the Servicer is
unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three (3) months before
the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer,
before the end of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as applicable,
to (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair
market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may
be the Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior
to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case
may be.

                                  ARTICLE XI.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     Section 11.01. Binding Nature of Agreement; Assignment.


                                      116

<PAGE>

     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     Section 11.02. Entire Agreement.

     This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and
conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with
respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and
supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with
any of the terms hereof.

     Section 11.03. Amendment.

     (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee,
without notice to or the consent of any of the Holders, (i) to cure any
ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be
consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to the
Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement in any Offering Document, or to
correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any
other provisions herein or with the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) to add
any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement, (iv) to modify alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or
provisions contained in this Agreement or (v) to add, delete, or amend any
provisions to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with any requirements
imposed by the Code and the REMIC Provisions. No such amendment effected
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect the status of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement, nor
shall such amendment effected pursuant to clauses (iii) or (iv) of such sentence
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder unless such
Holder has consented thereto. Prior to entering into any amendment without the
consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of
the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is
permitted under this Section. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to
adversely affect in any material respect any Holder, if the Securities
Administrator receives written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such
amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating
assigned to the Certificates. In addition, this Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer,
the Securities Administrator and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

     (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal
Amount (or Percentage 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; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall be made unless the Securities Administrator and the Trustee receive an
Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such
change will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or cause a
tax to be imposed on such REMIC; and provided further, that no such amendment
may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class


                                      117
<PAGE>

Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the
Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. For purposes of this
paragraph, references to "Holder" or "Holders" shall be deemed to include, in
the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate
Owners.

     (c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator
and the Rating Agencies.

     (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section
11.03 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 Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Trustee may prescribe.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the
Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall consent to any amendment of this
Agreement except pursuant to the standards provided in this Section with respect
to amendment of this Agreement.

     (f) None of the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall
consent to the assignment by the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer's rights
and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.03, the
Trustee, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the
Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and its counsel to enter
into such amendments or modifications to the Agreement as may be necessary to
comply with Regulation AB and any interpretation thereof by the Commission.

     (h) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized
and permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator
may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects
the Trustee's or the Securities Administrator's own respective rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement.

     Section 11.04. Voting Rights.

     Except to the extent that the consent of all affected Certificateholders is
required pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to any provision of this
Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders representing specified
percentages of aggregate outstanding Certificate Principal Amount (or Percentage
Interest), Certificates owned by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or any Affiliates thereof are
not to be counted so long as such Certificates are owned by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or any
Affiliate thereof.

Re: Merrill Lynch Mortgage Investors Trust Series MLCC 2007-2 Mortgage
    Pass-Through Certificates

     _______________________ (the "Transferor") has reviewed the attached
affidavit of _____________________________ (the "Transferee"), and has no actual
knowledge that such affidavit is not true and has no reason to believe that the
information contained in paragraph 7 thereof is not true, and has no reason to
believe that the Transferee has the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any federal, state or local taxes legally required to be paid with
respect to a Residual Certificate. In addition, the Transferor has conducted a
reasonable investigation at the time of the transfer and found that the
Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came due and found no
significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay
its debts as they become due.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                 Date __________

Dear Sirs:

     In connection with our proposed purchase of $______________ principal
amount of Merrill Lynch Mortgage Investors Trust Series MLCC 2007-2 Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates (the "Privately Offered Certificates") of Merrill
Lynch Mortgage Investors, Inc. (the "Depositor"), we confirm that:

     (1) We understand that the Privately Offered Certificates have not been,
and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and may not be sold except as permitted in the following
sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we
are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell any Privately Offered
Certificates within two years of the later of the date of original issuance of
the Privately Offered Certificates or the last day on which such Privately
Offered Certificates are owned by the Depositor or any affiliate of the
Depositor we will do so only (A) to the Depositor, (B) to "qualified
institutional buyers" (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act)
in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("QIBs"), (C) pursuant to
the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
or (D) to an institutional "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act that is not
a QIB (an "Institutional Accredited Investor") which, prior to such transfer,
delivers to the Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of May 1, 2007 (the "Agreement"), among Merrill Lynch Mortgage
Investors, Inc., as Depositor, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee,
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and Securities Administrator, and PHH
Mortgage Corporation, as Servicer, a signed letter in the form of this letter;
and we further agree, in the capacities stated above, to provide to any person
purchasing any of the Privately Offered Certificates from us a notice advising
such purchaser that resales of the Privately Offered Certificates are restricted
as stated herein.

     (2) We understand that, in connection with any proposed resale of any
Privately Offered Certificates to an Institutional Accredited Investor, we will
be required to furnish to the Certificate Registrar a certification from such
transferee in the form hereof to confirm that the proposed sale is being made
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. We further understand that the
Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us will bear a legend to the
foregoing effect.

     (3) We are acquiring the Privately Offered Certificates for investment
purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any
distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of our investment in the Privately Offered Certificates,


                                       H-1

<PAGE>

and we and any account for which we are acting are each able to bear the
economic risk of such investment.

     (4) We are an Institutional Accredited Investor and we are acquiring the
Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us for our own account or for one or
more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor) as to each
of which we exercise sole investment discretion.

     (5) We have received such information as we deem necessary in order to make
our investment decision.

     (6) If we are acquiring ERISA-Restricted Certificates, we are not a Plan
and we are not acquiring the ERISA-Restricted Certificates for, on behalf of or
with any assets of any such Plan except in accordance with Section 3.03(d) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     Terms used in this letter which are not otherwise defined herein have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

     You are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to
produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any
administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the
matters covered hereby.

                                        Very truly yours,
