      Servicer (i) this Confirmation is executed and delivered by Wells Fargo
      Bank, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as Master Servicer
      pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the exercise of the
      powers and authority conferred and vested in it thereunder (ii) each of
      the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on behalf of
      the Wells Fargo Mortgage Backed Securities 2006-9 Trust (the "Trust") is
      made and intended not as personal representations of the Master Servicer
      but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust, and
      (iii) under no circumstances will Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in its individual
      capacity be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or
      expenses or be personally liable for the breach or failure of any
      obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken under
      this Confirmation.

(q)   BSFP will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to an assignment
      of this Agreement to any other third party.

(r)   Set-off. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other
      existing or future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all
      rights it may have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or
      suspend or condition payment or performance of any obligation between it
      and the other party hereunder against any obligation between it and the
      other party under any other agreements. The last sentence of the first
      paragraph of Section 6(e) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement shall not
      apply for purposes of this Transaction.

(s)   Additional Termination Events. Additional Termination Events will apply.

      (i) If a Ratings Event has occurred and BSFP has not, within 30 days,
      complied with Section 6(t) below, then an Additional Termination Event
      shall have occurred with respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole
      Affected Party with respect to such an Additional Termination Event.

      (ii) Cap Disclosure Event. If, upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure
      Event (as defined in Paragraph 6(u)(ii) below), BSFP has not, within the
      greater of (5) five calendar days or (3) three Business Days after such
      Cap Disclosure Event complied with any of the provisions set forth in
      Paragraph 6(u)(iii) below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have
      occurred with respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party
      with respect to such Additional Termination Event.

(t)   Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect
      to BSFP (or any applicable credit support provider), then BSFP shall, at
      its own expense, (i) assign this Transaction to a third party that meets
      or exceeds, or as to which any applicable credit support provider meets or
      exceeds, the Approved Ratings Thresholds (as defined below) on terms
      substantially similar to this Confirmation, which party is approved by the
      Counterparty, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii)
      obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of, another person with
      the Approved Rating Thresholds to honor BSFP's obligations under this
      Agreement, provided that such other person is approved by the
      Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iii) post
      collateral under a credit support annex or other agreements satisfactory
      to Fitch Rating ("Fitch"), Standard and Poor's, a division of The
      McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P") and Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
      ("Moody's"), which will be sufficient to restore the immediately prior
      ratings of the Certificates, or (iv) establish any other arrangement
      satisfactory to Fitch, S&P and Moody's which will be sufficient to restore
      the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates. For avoidance of doubt,
      a downgrade of the rating on the Certificates could occur in the event
      that BSFP does not post sufficient collateral. For purposes of this
      Transaction, a "Ratings Event" shall occur with respect to BSFP (or any
      applicable credit support provider) if its long-term unsecured and
      unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below "AA-" by S&P or
      "Aa3" by Moody's (including in connection with a merger, consolidation or
      other similar transaction by BSFP or any applicable credit support
      provider) such ratings being referred to herein as the "Approved Ratings
      Thresholds," (unless, within 30 days thereafter, each of S&P and Moody's
      has reconfirmed the ratings of the Certificates, as applicable, which was
      in effect immediately prior thereto).

(u)   Compliance with Regulation AB.

(i)   BSFP agrees and acknowledges that the Depositor is required under
      Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
      "Securities Act"), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
      (the "Exchange Act") ("Regulation AB"), to disclose certain financial
      information regarding BSFP or its group of affiliated entities, if
      applicable, depending on the aggregate "significance percentage" of this
      Agreement and any other derivative contracts between BSFP or its group of
      affiliated entities, if applicable, and Counterparty, as calculated from
      time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

(ii)  It shall be cap disclosure event ("Cap Disclosure Event") if, on any
      Business Day after the date hereof, the Depositor or the Counterparty
      requests from BSFP the applicable financial information described in Item
      1115 of Regulation AB (such request to be based on a reasonable
      determination by Depositor, in good faith, that such information is
      required under Regulation AB) (the "Cap Financial Disclosure").

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event, BSFP, at its own expense,
      shall (a) provide to the Depositor and Counterparty the Cap Financial
      Disclosure, (b) secure another entity to replace BSFP as party to this
      Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement and subject to
      prior notification to the Swap Rating Agencies, which entity (or a
      guarantor therefor) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds (or
      which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition) and which entity (i) is able
      to comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB and (ii)
      provides indemnity to the Depositor, reasonably satisfactory to the
      Depositor, in relation to financial information delivered to comply with
      the requirements of Regulation AB or (c) obtain a guaranty of the BSFP's
      obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of the BSFP that is
      able to comply with the financial information disclosure requirements of
      Item 1115 of Regulation AB, such that disclosure provided in respect of
      the affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to the
      Cap Provider, and cause such affiliate to provide Cap Financial
      Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required Cap Financial
      Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference from reports
      filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(iv)  BSFP agrees that, in the event that BSFP provides Cap Financial Disclosure
      to the Depositor and the Counterparty in accordance with Paragraph
      6(u)(iii)(a) or causes its affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure
      to the Depositor and the Counterparty in accordance with Paragraph
      6(u)(iii)(c), it will indemnify and hold harmless Depositor, its
      respective directors or officers and any person controlling Depositor,
      within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and
      against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of
      or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
      material fact contained in such Cap Financial Disclosure or arising out of
      or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state in such Cap
      Financial Disclosure a material fact required to be stated therein or
      necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
      under which they were made, not misleading and BSFP shall in each case
      reimburse the Depositor and each such director, officer or controlling
      person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
      Depositor and each such director, officer or controlling person, in
      connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
      liability or action.

       Any such Cap Financial Disclosure provided pursuant to this paragraph
      6(u) shall be in a form suitable for conversion to the format required for
      filing by the Depositor or the Counterparty with the Securities and
      Exchange Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering Retrieval System
      (EDGAR).

(u)   Third Party Beneficiary. Depositor shall be a third party beneficiary of
      this Agreement.

7) "Affiliate" will have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the ISDA Form
Master Agreement, provided that BSFP shall not be deemed to have any Affiliates
for purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of Section 6(b)(ii) of
the ISDA Form Master Agreement.

8) Section 3 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement is hereby amended by adding at
the end thereof the following subsection (g):

      "(g) Relationship Between Parties.

                  Each party represents to the other party on each date when it

communication (written or oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a
recommendation to enter into such transaction; it being understood that
information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of such
transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to
