This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Home Equity Asset Trust 2006-8, Home Equity Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-8, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to all Definitive Certificates, the last business day of the month preceding the Distribution Date and (2) with respect to all Certificates held in Book-Entry Form only, the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

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

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to all Definitive Certificates, the last business day of the month preceding the Distribution Date and (2) with respect to all Certificates held in Book-Entry Form only, the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date.

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement.

The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Class R Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate and adjustable rate conventional mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first and second liens on one- to four-family residential properties.

Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor

Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein.  Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance at any time may be less than the Certificate Principal Balance as set forth herein.

Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

This certifies that Wachovia Bank N.A. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate of the denominations of all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp.

This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust Fund will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this Class R Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in New York, New York.

Pursuant to Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement, no transfer of a Class R Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Class R Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or an entity whose underlying assets include such plan’s or arrangement’s assets (a “Plan”), or a person acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of, such plan or arrangement (a “Benefit Plan Investor”) which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such Class R Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Benefit Plan Investor, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, any Special Servicer or the Servicers to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of such parties.  In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer a Class R Certificate to a Benefit Plan Investor is attempted without the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of this certificate shall be void and of no effect.

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

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, the Modification Oversight Agent, any Special Servicer, the Credit Risk Manager or the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.  Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

This certifies that CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (USA) LLC is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate of the denominations of all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”).  The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc., as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. (“SPS”), as a servicer (in such capacity, a “Servicer”) and as modification oversight agent (in such capacity, the “Modification Oversight Agent”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“WFBNA”), as a servicer (in such capacity, a “Servicer” and together with SPS, the “Servicers”), Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”).  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement, no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or an entity whose underlying assets include such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, or a person acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of, such plan or arrangement (a “Plan”) which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company and the ERISA-Restricted Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan or a person acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of a Plan, (a “Benefit Plan Investor”), an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, any Special Servicer or the Servicers to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of such parties.  In the event the representations referred to in the preceding sentence are not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or by any beneficial owner who purchases an interest in this certificate in book-entry form.  In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a Benefit Plan Investor is attempted without the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of this certificate shall be void and of no effect.

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such laws.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to all Definitive Certificates, the last business day of the month preceding the Distribution Date and (2) with respect to all Certificates held in Book-Entry Form only, the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date.

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement.

The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

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

Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor

Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth herein.  Accordingly, the Certificate Balance at any time may be less than the Certificate Balance as set forth herein.  This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Modification Oversight Agent, the Credit Risk Manager or the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.  Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

This certifies that [__________] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate of the denominations of all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”).  The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc., as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. (“SPS”), as a servicer (in such capacity, a “Servicer”) and as modification oversight agent (in such capacity, the “Modification Oversight Agent”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“WFBNA”), as a servicer (in such capacity, a “Servicer” and together with SPS, the “Servicers”), Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”).  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement, no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or an entity whose underlying assets include such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, or a person acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of, such plan or arrangement (a “Plan”) which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company and the ERISA-Restricted Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificate are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan or a person acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of a Plan, (a “Benefit Plan Investor”), an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, any Special Servicer or the Servicers to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of such parties.  In the event the representations referred to in the preceding sentence are not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or by any beneficial owner who purchases an interest in this certificate in book-entry form.  In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a Benefit Plan Investor is attempted without the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of this certificate shall be void and of no effect.

Home Equity Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-8

Class A-IO-[__]

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Home Equity Asset Trust 2006-8, Home Equity Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-8, of the Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.

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

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to all Definitive Certificates, the last business day of the month preceding the Distribution Date and (2) with respect to all Certificates held in Book-Entry Form only, the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date.

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

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

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

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

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

The Depositor, the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Servicers, any Special Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

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

Home Equity Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-8

Class [_______]

STATE OF

)

) ss.:

COUNTY OF

)

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

1.

The undersigned is an officer of ______________, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc., as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”), Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. (“SPS”), as a servicer (in such capacity, a “Servicer”) and as modification oversight agent (in such capacity, the “Modification Oversight Agent”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“WFBNA”), as a servicer (in such capacity, a “Servicer” and together with SPS, the “Servicers”), Clayton Fixed Income Services Inc., as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”) and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.

2.

The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

3.

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

4.

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

5.

The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.

6.

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

7.

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

8.

The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is [_____________].

9.

The Transferee is a United States Person.

10.

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

11.

In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2001-12, I.R.B. 2001-2,

(a)

the consideration paid to the Transferee for accepting the Class R Certificates is greater than the present value of the anticipated net federal income taxes and tax benefits (“Tax Liability Present Value”) associated with owning such Certificates, with such present value computed suing a discount rate equal to the “applicable federal rate” prescribed by Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (with all applicable computations done in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2001-12) or, to the extent it is not, if the Transferee has asserted that it regularly borrows, in the ordinary course of its trade or business, substantial funds from unrelated third parties at a lower interest rate than such applicable federal rate and the consideration paid to the Transferee is greater than the Tax Liability Present Value using such lower interest rate as the discount rate, the transactions with the unrelated third party lenders, the interest rate or rates, the date or dates of such transactions, and the maturity dates or, in the case of adjustable rate debt instruments, the relevant adjustment dates or periods, with respect to such borrowings, are accurately stated in Exhibit A to this letter; or

(b)

the Transferee (i) is an “eligible corporation” as defined in Section 860L(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, as to which the income of Class R Certificates will only be subject to taxation in the United States, (ii) has, and has had in each of its two preceding fiscal years, gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the transferee within the meaning of Section 860L of the Internal Revenue Code) in excess of $100 million and net assets of $10 million, and (iii) hereby agrees only to transfer the Certificate to another corporation meeting the criteria set forth in this letter.

12.

That the Owner:

(a) is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) an entity whose underlying assets include such plan’s or arrangement’s assets (a “Plan”), or any other person purchasing any Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such Plan (a “Benefit Plan Investor”);

(b) is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it to purchase the Certificates is an “insurance company general account” (within the meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60), and the purchase is being made in reliance upon the availability of the exemptive relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or

(c) provides an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Benefit Plan Investor will not result in non-exempt prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, any Special Servicer or the Servicers to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement.

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

Certain Definitions

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

“Permitted Transferee”: Any person other than (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or any agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to any Residual Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) a Person that is not a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership, or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, or an estate whose income from sources without the United States is includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust unless such Person has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form 4224, and (vi) any other Person so designated by the Depositor based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such Person may cause the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding.

Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement

No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws.  Except in connection with any transfer of a Private Certificate by the Depositor to any affiliate, in the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit J (the “Transferor Certificate”) and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall either (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of (A) Exhibit L-1 (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (B) if the Private Certificate subject to such transfer represents the entire Class or the Depositor otherwise consents to such transfer, Exhibit K (the “Investment Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Private Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller, any Special Servicer and the Servicers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received in accordance with Exhibit I, Exhibit K or Exhibit L-1, as applicable, either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan or a Person acquiring such ERISA-Restricted Certificate for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such Plan, (a “Benefit Plan Investor”), which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate if the purchaser is an insurance company and the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Benefit Plan Investor without a representation as required above, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, any Special Servicer or the Servicers to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of such parties.  In the event the representations referred to in the preceding sentence are not furnished, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by any beneficial owner who purchases an interest in such Certificate in book-entry form.  In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to transfer an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a Benefit Plan Investor is attempted without the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition of such Certificate shall be void and of no effect.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under the statutory exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60 or PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable exemption.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of a representation letter as described above shall be void and of no effect.  If the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation as provided in this paragraph.

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

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

The Seller or its affiliate is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note.

(iii)

The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Depositor. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies.

(v)

The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, attached to the Agreement as Schedule I, is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date.

(vi)

With respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien on the Mortgaged Property, and all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note’s original principal balance.  The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto.  Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first or second lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage subject only to (1) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, the related First Lien, (2) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (3) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (4) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.  Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates (1) with respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest and (2) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien and second priority security interest, in each case, in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note, and the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Depositor;

(vii)

There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage.

(viii)

All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

(ix)

The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

(x)

The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage by waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.

(xi)

All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by a title insurance policy and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.

(xii)

Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodians on behalf of the Trustee the original Mortgage bearing evidence that such instruments have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located as determined by the Seller (or, in lieu of the original of the Mortgage or the assignment thereof, a duplicate or conformed copy of the Mortgage or the instrument of assignment, if any, together with a certificate of receipt from the Seller or the settlement agent who handled the closing of the Mortgage Loan, certifying that such copy or copies represent true and correct copy(ies) of the originals) and that such original(s) have been or are currently submitted to be recorded in the appropriate governmental recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located) or a certification or receipt of the recording authority evidencing the same.

(xiv)

(xv)

All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the FNMA Guides or by FHLMC, as well as all additional requirements set forth in this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If at the time of origination, the Mortgage Loan was required to have flood insurance coverage in accordance with the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, such Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to FNMA and FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable under FNMA or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at other Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.

(xvi)

With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a Prepayment Premium feature, each such Prepayment Premium is enforceable and each Prepayment Premium is permitted pursuant to applicable federal, state and local law, subject to federal preemption where applicable.

(xvii)

As of the initial cut-off, approximately 1.5% of the initial Mortgage Loans are at least 30 days delinquent but not more than 59 days delinquent and approximately 0.5% of the initial Mortgage Loans are at least 60 days delinquent but not more than 89 days delinquent in payment (based on the Aggregate Collateral Balance and none of the Mortgage Loans are 90 days or more contractually delinquent in payment.

(xix)

The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles.

(xx)

(l)

with respect to any Group 1 Mortgage Loan, the methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each such Mortgage Loan did not rely solely on the extent of the Borrower’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit but instead employed objective criteria such as the Borrower’s income, assets and liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Mortgage Loan’s Originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of origination the Borrower had the ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;

(n)

no subordinate lien Group 1 Mortgage Loan underlying the Certificates has an original Stated Principal Balance that exceeds one-half of the one-unit limitation for first lien mortgage loans, without regard to the number of units;

(o)

with respect to any subordinate lien Group 1 Mortgage Loan underlying the Certificates, the original Stated Principal Balance of the first lien mortgage loan plus the original Stated Principal Balance of any subordinate lien mortgage loans relating to the same Mortgaged Property does not exceed the applicable Freddie Mac loan limit for first lien mortgage loans for that property type; and

(p)

the Seller currently operates or actively participates in an on-going and active program or business (A) to originate mortgages, and/or (B) to make periodic purchases of mortgage loans from originators or other sellers, and/or (C) to issue and/or purchase securities or bonds supported by the mortgages, with a portion of the proceeds generated by such program or business being used to purchase or originate mortgages made to borrowers who are:

(1)

low-income families (families with incomes of 80% or less of area median income) living in low-income areas (a census tract or block numbering area in which the median income does not exceed 80 percent of the area median income) and/or

(xxiii)

No Mortgage Loan is classified as (a) a “high cost mortgage” loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) a “high cost home,” “covered,” “high cost,” “high risk home” or “predatory” loan under any other applicable state, federal or local law.

(xxiv)

With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004, either (a) the related Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note does not contain a mandatory arbitration clause (that is, a clause that requires the related Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan) or (b) the related Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note contained a mandatory arbitration clause as of the related origination date and such clause has or will be waived by the originator or an entity designated by the Seller in writing no later than sixty (60) days after the related Closing Date which notice included or will include the following language: “WE ARE HEREBY NOTIFYING YOU THAT THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE OF YOUR LOAN, REQUIRING THAT YOU SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR MORTGAGE LOAN, IS IMMEDIATELY NULL AND VOID.  YOU ARE FREE TO CHOOSE TO EXERCISE ANY OF YOUR RIGHTS OR ENFORCE ANY REMEDIES UNDER YOUR MORTGAGE LOAN THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM.”  A copy of the written notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, shall be retained in the related Mortgage File.
