The purpose
of the Trust is, and the Trust (and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust) shall have the power and authority, to engage in
the following activities:

 

(i)          to
issue the Bonds pursuant to the Indenture and the Residual Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, and to sell the Bonds and Residual
Certificates;

and for the benefit of the Insurer and to hold, manage and distribute to the Residual Certificateholders pursuant to the terms
hereof and of the Master Servicing Agreement any portion of the Owner Trust Estate released from the Lien of, and remitted to the
Trust pursuant to, the Indenture;

 

(iii)        with

balance to the Depositor pursuant to the Master Servicing Agreement;

 

(iv)        to
enter into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party;

 

(v)         to
engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing
or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and

 

(vi)        subject
to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in such other activities as may be required in connection with conservation of
the Owner Trust Estate and the making of distributions to the Bondholders and the Residual Certificateholders.

 

The Trust is hereby authorized to engage
in the foregoing activities. The Trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than
as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement or the Basic Documents.

 

SECTION
2.4.           Appointment of Owner Trustee.  The
Depositor hereby appoints [___________________] as the Owner Trustee of the Trust effective as of the Closing Date, to have all
the rights, powers and duties set forth herein and [___________________] hereby accepts such appointment.

 

SECTION

Accounts.  

 

(a)           The Depositor hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys

the Depositor the Class O Certificate. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date
hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Owner Trust Estate evidenced by the Class O Certificate
and shall be deposited in the Distribution Account. On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee will also, upon receipt thereof, acknowledge

any responsibility to perform the foregoing obligations, nor shall the Owner Trustee have any duty or responsibility to supervise
the Manager in the performance thereof.

 

SECTION
2.6.           Declaration of Trust.  The
Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein
for the use and benefit of the Residual Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that
this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely
for income and franchise tax purposes, the Trust shall be treated as a partnership in which the holders of the Class L Certificates
and the holders of the Class O Certificates (and, to the extent that the Class C Interest is characterized as an equity interest
in the Trust, the holder of the Class C Interest) are partners and that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities,
the Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization
of the Trust as a partnership for such tax purposes. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights,
powers and duties set forth herein and to the extent not inconsistent herewith and not mandatory in nature, in the Statutory Trust
Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. The Owner Trustee shall file the Certificate of Trust with the
Secretary of State. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be effective as of the
Closing Date.

title to all the Owner Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable
law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case
title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

 

    	5

    	 

    

  

(b)           The
Holders shall not have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate. The Holders shall be entitled to receive distributions
with respect to their undivided ownership interest therein only in accordance with the Basic Documents. No transfer, by operation
of law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest by any Residual Certificateholder of its ownership interest in the Owner Trust
Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer
to it of legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate.

 

SECTION
2.9.         Situs of Trust.  The
Trust will be located and administered in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Trust shall be located in
the States of Delaware, New York, California or the jurisdiction where the Indenture Trustee maintains bank accounts with respect
to collections on the Collateral. The only office of the Trust will be as described in Section 2.2 hereof. The Trust shall not
have any employees; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees
within or without the State of Delaware. Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware, New York, California or such
other jurisdiction designated by the Depositor, and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware, New York or such other
jurisdiction designated by the Depositor. To the extent bank accounts are to be maintained with the Owner Trustee, such accounts
shall be located in the State of Delaware. To the extent payments are to be received and made by the Owner Trustee, such payments
shall be received in or made from the State of Delaware.

 

SECTION
2.10.         Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.  The
Depositor makes the following representations and warranties on which [___________________] relies in accepting its appointment
as Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee relies in accepting the Owner Trust Estate in trust and issuing the Bonds and the Residual
Certificates and upon which the Insurer relies in issuing the Policy.

 

(a)
          The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws governing its creation and existence and has full corporate power and authority to own its property,
to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and to create
the trust pursuant hereto;

 

(b)
          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;

 

(c)
          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;

 

    	6

    	 

    

  

(d)
          This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor
and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Seller and [___________________], constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Depositor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may 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;
and

 

(e)          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.

 

SECTION
2.11.         Federal Income Tax Allocations.

 

(a)           It
is the intention of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Residual Certificateholders that, for federal, state and other income tax
purposes (i) the Trust be classified as a partnership if there is more than one Holder of Residual Certificates and that it be
classified as a disregarded entity if there is only one Holder of the Residual Certificates and (ii) the Bonds be classified as
debt of the Trust. Neither the Owner Trustee nor any Residual Certificateholder will, under any circumstances, and at any time,
make an election on IRS Form 8832 or otherwise, to classify the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, state
or any other applicable tax purpose.

 

(b)           The
Issuer will compute net income or net loss (and each item of income, gain, loss, and deduction entering into the computation thereof)
monthly as of the Record Date for such month for the period beginning on the immediately preceding Payment Date and ending on and
inclusive of such Record Date. The Issuer will separately compute the items described in section 702(a) of the Code, including
gains and losses from sales and exchanges of capital assets held for more than one year, and gains and losses from capital assets
held for less than one year. Except as provided in clause (d) below, the amounts so calculated will be allocated between the Class
L Certificateholder and the Class O Certificateholders based on their relative Class Principal Balances as of the immediately preceding
Payment Date, after taking into account the allocations of income, gain, deduction, and loss and any distribution occurring on
such immediately preceding Payment Date. Amounts allocated to the Class O Certificates will be further allocated among the Class
O Certificateholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

 

(c)           The
Issuer will treat the “interest” paid to the Class L Certificateholder on the Additional Balance Contributed Amount
or the Class Principal Amount of the Class L Certificates, as applicable, as a guaranteed payment under section 707(c) of the Code,
and therefore, an item of deduction for the Issuer.

 

    	7

    	 

    

  

(d)           Upon
dissolution of the Trust in accordance with Article X hereof, in connection with making final distributions to each class of Residual
Certificateholders, the Trust will modify the allocations set forth in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in the sole
discretion of a majority in interest of the Class O Certificateholders and (if such dissolution occurs during the Rapid Amortization
Period) the Class L Certificateholers, to fairly reflect the economic income, gain, deduction, or loss of each class of Residual
Certificateholders. In addition, to the extent that the Class C Interest is characterized as an equity interest in the Trust, the
Trust will modify the allocations set forth in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of a majority
in interest of the Class O Certificateholders and (if such dissolution occurs during the Rapid Amortization Period) the Class L
Certificateholers, to fairly reflect the economic income, gain, deduction, or loss of attributable to the Class C Interest, if
any.

 

(e)           The
Manager shall perform the obligations of the Issuer in this Section 2.11 pursuant. Under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee
have any responsibility to perform the foregoing obligations, nor shall the Owner Trustee have any duty or responsibility to supervise
the Manager in the performance thereof.

 

SECTION
2.12.          Covenants of the Depositor.  The
Depositor agrees and covenants for the benefit of each Residual Certificateholder, the Insurer, [___________________] and the
Owner Trustee, during the term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that:

 

(a)           it
shall not create, incur or suffer to exist any indebtedness or engage in any business, except, in each case, as permitted by its
certificate of incorporation, its by-laws and the Basic Documents;

 

(b)           it
shall not, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution
of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief
under any applicable federal or state law relating to the bankruptcy of the Trust, or consent to the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of the property of the
Trust or cause or permit the Trust to make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing the inability of the
Trust to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on the debt of the Trust or take any action
in furtherance of any such action;

 

(c)           it
shall obtain from each counterparty to each Basic Document to which it or the Trust is a party and each other agreement entered
into on or after the date hereof to which it or the Trust is a party, an agreement by each such counterparty that prior to the
occurrence of the event specified in Section 10.1(e) such counterparty shall not institute against, or join any other Person in

a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or file a petition seeking
or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment
of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of it or a substantial part of its property,
or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become

SECTION
2.13.         Covenants of the Residual Certificateholders.  Each
Residual Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, agrees:

 

(a)           to
be bound by the terms and conditions of the Residual Certificates and of this Agreement, including any supplements or amendments
hereto and to perform the obligations of a Residual Certificateholder as set forth therein or herein, in all respects as if it
were a signatory hereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer and all other Residual
Certificateholders present and future;

 

(b)           to
hereby appoint the Depositor as such Residual Certificateholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact to sign any federal income tax
information return filed on behalf of the Trust, if any, and agree that, if requested by the Trust, it will sign such federal income
tax information return in its capacity as holder of an interest in the Trust. Each Residual Certificateholder also hereby agrees
that in its tax returns it will not take any position inconsistent with those taken in any tax returns that may be filed by the
Trust;

 

(c)           if
such Residual Certificateholder is other than an individual or other entity holding its Residual Certificate through a broker who
reports securities sales on Form 1099-B, to notify the Owner Trustee of any transfer by it of a Residual Certificate in a taxable
sale or exchange, within 30 days of the date of the transfer; and

 

(d)           until
the completion of the events specified in Section 10.1(e), not to, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust or the Depositor

or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy,
or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Depositor
or the Trust or a substantial part of its property, or cause or permit the Depositor or the Trust to make any assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect
a moratorium on its debt or take any action in furtherance of any such action.

 

Except as provided in
this Section 2.13, and notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no Residual Certificateholder other
than the Depositor in its capacity as the “Depositor” shall be deemed to have adopted, be bound by, or succeed in any
way to any representation by, or duty of indemnification by or any other duty of, the Depositor, including those contained in Sections
2.10, 2.12, 4.6, 9.2 or elsewhere herein.

Ownership of Trust Property; Residual Certificates and Transfer of Interests

 

SECTION
4.1.         Trust Property Ownership.  Upon
the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5 and the filing of the Certificate of Trust,
the Owner Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to execute, authenticate, date, issue, and deliver, in the name and on behalf
of the Trust, one (1) or more Class O Certificates representing in the aggregate a 100% Percentage Interest and the Certificate
Registrar is hereby authorized and directed to register such issuance in the Certificate Register. The Residual Certificates shall
be issued in two classes, Class O and Class L. Such Residual Certificate(s), upon their issuance in accordance with this Agreement,
shall be duly authorized, validly issued, and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent herewith,
as set forth therein. The Depositor shall at all times keep and own a Class O Certificate representing no less than a 1% Percentage
Interest, and at no time will the Depositor sell or alienate its interest represented by Class O Certificates in such a way as
to reduce its aggregate beneficial ownership in the Class O Certificates to less than a 1% Percentage Interest.

 

SECTION
4.2.         The Residual Certificates.  Each
Class of Residual Certificates shall be issued in minimum Percentage Interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.
The Residual Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of
the Owner Trustee. Residual Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when
such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the
benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to
the authentication and delivery of such Residual Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery
of such Residual Certificates. A permitted transferee of a Residual Certificate shall become a Residual Certificateholder and
shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Residual Certificateholder, hereunder, upon due registration
of such Residual Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 4.4.

 

SECTION
4.3.         Issuance and Authentication of Residual Certificates.  Concurrently
with the initial sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust pursuant to the Master Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause
the Class L Certificates to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the
Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer
without further action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Residual Certificate shall entitle its holder to any
benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Residual Certificate a certificate
of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (with respect to a Residual Certificate), executed by the Owner
Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Residual Certificate
shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Residual Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

 

    	10

    	 

    

  

SECTION
4.4.         Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Residual Certificates.  The
Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 4.8, a Certificate
Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the
registration of Residual Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Residual Certificates as herein provided. The Owner Trustee
shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Indenture Trustee the names and addresses
of each Holder of a Residual Certificate upon initial issuance and as soon as reasonably practicable following any transfer of
any Residual Certificate. At any time the Owner Trustee acts as Certificate Registrar hereunder, the rights, privileges, protections
and immunities afforded to the Owner Trustee hereunder shall apply equally to the Owner Trustee in its role as Certificate Registrar.

 

In furtherance of and
not in limitation of the foregoing, each Residual Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Residual Certificate, specifically acknowledges
that it has no right to or interest in any monies at any time held in the Owner Trust Estate prior to the release of such monies
pursuant to Section 8.7(b)(xiv) of the Indenture, as appropriate, such monies being held in trust for the benefit of the Bondholders
and the Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that it is ever determined that the monies held in the Owner Trust
Estate constitute a pledge of collateral, then the provisions of the Master Servicing Agreement shall be considered to constitute
a security agreement and the Trust hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer a first priority perfected security interest
in such amounts and the Depositor and the Residual Certificateholders hereby consent to such grant. In addition, the Trust hereby
appoints the Depositor as its agent to pledge a first priority perfected security interest in the Owner Trust Estate, and any amounts
held therein from time to time to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and agrees to execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance,
assignment, grant, confirmation, etc., as well as any financing statements, in each case as the Insurer shall consider reasonably
necessary in order to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the Depositor and the Residual
Certificateholders hereby acknowledge and consent to such appointment.

 

The transfer of a Residual
Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of such Residual Certificate for registration of transfer
at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
Holder thereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Residual Certificates
in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. In
addition, Residual Certificates are exchangeable for new Residual Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration
of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

    	11

    	 

    

  

SECTION
4.5.         Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Residual Certificates.  If
(a) any mutilated Residual Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall
receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Residual Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered
to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Residual Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Residual Certificate, a new Residual Certificate, respectively, of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Residual Certificate under this Section, the
Owner Trustee 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 connection therewith. Any duplicate Residual Certificate issued pursuant to this Section (other
than a duplicate Residual Certificate that has been issued in replacement of a Residual Certificate that was acquired by a bona
fide purchaser) shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Residual Certificate shall be found at any time.

 

SECTION
4.6.         Persons Deemed Residual Certificateholders.  Every
Person by virtue of becoming a Residual Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement and the rules and regulations of the
Certificate Registrar shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of a Residual Certificate
for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and any agent
of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, may treat the Person in whose name any
Residual Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Residual Certificate for the purpose
of receiving distributions pursuant to the Master Servicing Agreement and the Indenture and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer nor any agent of the Owner Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar or the Insurer shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

 

SECTION
4.7.         Access to List of Residual Certificateholders’ Names
and Addresses.  The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Servicer, the Depositor or the Insurer, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a
request therefor from such Person in writing, a list, of the names and addresses of the Residual Certificateholders as of the
most recent Record Date. If three or more Holders of Residual Certificates or one or more Holders of a Class of Residual Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% by Percentage Interest of such Class apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application
states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Residual Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this
Agreement or under the Residual Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants
propose to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford
such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Residual Certificateholders. Each Holder, by receiving
and holding a Residual Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar or the Insurer or any agent thereof accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

 

    	12

    	 

    

  

SECTION
4.8.         Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The
Owner Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Residual Certificates may be surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Residual Certificates and
the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates its corporate trust administration office located at
[___________________], [_________________________________], Attention: Corporate Trust Administration for such purposes. The Owner
Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Residual Certificateholders and the Insurer of any change in the
location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

 

SECTION
4.9.         ERISA Restrictions.  The
Residual Certificates may not be acquired or transferred to a transferee, other than the Depositor or its Affiliate, for, or with
the assets of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement that is subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or any substantially similar law (“Similar Law”), or any entity deemed to hold the plan assets of the
foregoing (collectively, “Benefit Plans”). Each prospective transferee, other than the Depositor or its Affiliate
and the initial Holder of the Class L Certificates, shall represent and warrant to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
that it is not a Benefit Plan, in accordance with Exhibit C hereto, upon which the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
may rely without investigation. By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interests in its Residual Certificate, the Holder
thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

 

SECTION
4.10.         Restrictions on Transfer of Residual Certificates.

 

(a)           The
Residual Certificates shall be assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, financed, hypothecated or otherwise conveyed (collectively,
for purposes of this Section 4.10 and any other Section referring to the Residual Certificates, “transferred” or a
“transfer”) only in accordance with this Section 4.10.

 

(b)           Each
prospective transferee of a Residual Certificate, other than the Depositor and the initial Holder of the Class L Certificates,
shall represent and warrant, in writing, to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar (and the Owner Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying on such representations and warranties) and any of
their respective successors that:

 

(i)          Such
Person is (A) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and is aware that the seller of such Residual Certificate may be relying on the exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and is acquiring such Residual Certificate for its own
account or for the account of one or more qualified institutional buyers for whom it is authorized to act or (B) a Person involved
in the organization or operation of the Trust or an affiliate of such Person within the meaning of Rule 3a-7 of the 1940 Act, as
amended (including, but not limited to, the Depositor).

 

    	13

    	 

    

  

(ii)         Such
Person understands that such Residual Certificate has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may be offered,
sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is (A) a “qualified institutional
buyer” or (B) a Person involved in the organization or operation of the Trust or an affiliate of such Person, in each case
in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or that is otherwise exempt from registration under
the Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

 

(iii)        Such
Person shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.9, as applicable, relating to the ERISA restrictions with respect to the acceptance
or acquisition of such Residual Certificate.

 

(c)           Except
with respect to the initial issuance of the Class L Certificates to the Servicer (or its Affiliate) and the Class O Certificates
to the Depositor (or its Affiliate), no pledge or transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be effective unless such purchase or
transfer is (i) to a single beneficial owner and (ii) accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and
the Insurer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer or the Depositor,
to the effect that (a) such pledge or transfer will not adversely affect the treatment of the Bonds after such pledge or transfer
as debt for federal and applicable state income tax purposes, (b) such pledge or transfer will not result in the Trust being subject
to tax at the entity level for federal and applicable state tax purposes, (c) such pledge or transfer will not have any material
adverse impact on the federal income taxation of any Bondholder or any Residual Certificateholder and (d) such pledge or transfer
will not result in the arrangement created by this Agreement or any “portion” of the Trust being treated as a taxable
mortgage pool as defined in Section 7701(I) of the Code.

 

(d)           No
transfer, including any pledge, of Residual Certificates shall be effective, and the purported transferor shall continue to be
regarded as the beneficial owner of the Residual Certificates, if, as a result of the transfer (or pledge), there would be more
than 80 beneficial owners of Residual Certificates. For purposes of applying this restriction, if the registered holder of Certificates
is a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes), a grantor trust, or an S corporation,
the Residual Certificates shall be treated as being beneficially owned by the partners, beneficiaries, or shareholders. The Owner
Trustee and Certificate Registrar shall be under no obligation to determine the number of such beneficial owners. The transferee
or pledgee shall certify in writing to the Owner Trustee and Certificate Registrar the number of such partners, beneficiaries and
shareholders, and the Owner Trustee and Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely on such certifications. Moreover, to ensure
that the Issuer will not become subject to payment of U.S. withholding tax, any transfer of Certificates to a person other than
a U. S. person (as defined in the Code) is prohibited.

 

(e)          Upon
receipt of the aforementioned representations and warranties, Opinion of Counsel and certifications, the Owner Trustee and Certificate
Registrar are hereby authorized and empowered (without any obligation to verify the accuracy of such documentation) to register
the transfer of the applicable Residual Certificate.

SECTION
4.11.        Distributions on Residual Certificates.
  The Residual Certificateholders will be entitled
to distributions on each Payment Date, as provided in this Agreement, the Master Servicing Agreement and the Indenture. With respect
to any Payment Date, (x) the Indenture Trustee shall distribute to the Class L Certificateholders any amounts allocated to them
in accordance with Section [___] of the Indenture and (y) any amounts remaining in the Distribution Account for payment to the
Residual Certificateholders pursuant to Section [___] of the Indenture shall be distributed by the Indenture Trustee on the Owner
Trustee’s behalf to the Class O Certificateholders;

 

provided, however, on the Payment
Date on which the Redemption Price is distributed, the portion, if any, of the Redemption Price allocable to the Class L Certificates
shall be distributed pursuant to this Section 4.11 to the Class L Certificateholders and the portion, if any, of the Redemption
Price allocable to the Class O Certificates shall be distributed pursuant to this Section 4.11 to the Class O Certificateholders,
as applicable; and

 

provided, further, that the
Issuer shall cause any Mortgage Loans removed from the Trust Property pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Master Servicing Agreement
to be assigned to the Holder of the Class L Certificates and the Class Principal Balance of the Class L Certificates shall be reduced
by the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans (it being understood that, if any such assignment occurs during the Managed Amortization
Period, the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans will be offset against the Class Principal Balance of the Class L Certificates
following commencement of the Rapid Amortization Period).

 

(b)           With
respect to each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee, to the extent the Servicer has provided the related Servicing Certificate to the
Owner Trustee pursuant to the Master Servicing Agreement, shall deliver or make available the Servicing Certificate for such Payment
Date to each Residual Certificateholder. Under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee have any responsibility to perform the
obligations of the Indenture Trustee under this Section 4.11, nor shall the Owner Trustee have any duty or responsibility to supervise
the Indenture Trustee in the performance thereof

 

SECTION
4.12.         Class C Interest.
  On the Closing Date, there shall be created an interest in the Trust (the “Class C Interest”) that
will confer to its holder the right to cause the Trust to redeem or repurchase the Bonds in the manner and under the circumstances
set forth in Section 10.1 of the Indenture and Section 7.01 of the Master Servicing Agreement. Such right shall be the sole right
conferred upon the holder of the Class C Interest. Other than as set forth in this Section 4.12, the holder of the Class C Interest
shall have no duties, rights or powers with respect to the Trust and no economic interest in the Trust. The Class C Interest shall
not be evidenced by a physical certificate and shall be duly authorized, validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement
upon entry of such interest and the holder thereof in the Certificate Register. The Certificate Registrar is hereby authorized
and directed to cause an entry to be made in the Certificate Register registering the Class C Interest in the name of Redwood
Trust, Inc. The Class C Interest may not be transferred except to an Affiliate of the initial holder thereof and following receipt
of an Opinion of Counsel by the Trust and the Owner Trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee providing that such transfer
will not (a) violate any provisions of ERISA or any Similar Law, (b) result in a violation of the Securities Act or require the
Trust to register any securities under the Securities Act or the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or
(c) cause the Trust to be treated for federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation, a taxable mortgage
pool, or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

(h), (i), (k), (l) and (m) shall require the prior approval of the Residual Certificateholders. The Owner Trustee shall notify
the Residual Certificateholders in writing of any appointment of a successor Certificate Registrar within five Business Days thereof.

 

SECTION
5.2.         Action by Residual Certificateholders with Respect

(a “Proposer”), the Owner Trustee shall distribute promptly to all Residual Certificateholders any request for action
or consent of Residual Certificateholders submitted by such Proposer (at the initial cost and expense of the Trust), with a copy
to the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee by any means of transmission reasonably selected by the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee
shall provide a reasonable method for collecting responses to such request and shall tabulate and report the results thereof to
the Residual Certificateholders, the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility or duty
to determine if any such proposed action or consent is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. The Trust’s
reasonable costs and expenses (including overhead reasonably allocated to such distribution, collection, tabulation and reporting)

surrendered the Policy to the Insurer, the Owner Trustee shall not have the power to, and shall not, commence any proceeding or
other actions contemplated by Section 2.12(b) relating to the Trust without the prior written consent of all of the Residual Certificateholders
and the Insurer, and the delivery to the Owner Trustee by each such Residual Certificateholder and the Insurer, of a certificate
certifying that such Residual Certificateholder and the Insurer reasonably believes that the Trust is insolvent. The Owner Trustee
in undertaking such proceedings or other actions contemplated by Section 2.12(b) relating to the Trust shall consider the interest
of the Bondholders and the Insurer in addition to the interests of the Residual Certificateholders and whether the Trust is insolvent.
The Owner Trustee shall not commence such proceedings or other actions contemplated by Section 2.12(b) unless the Owner Trustee
shall have been furnished (at the expense of the Trust) with a letter from an independent accounting firm of national reputation
stating that in the opinion of such firm the Trust is then insolvent. The provisions of this Section do not constitute an acknowledgement
or admission by the Trust, the Owner Trustee, any Residual Certificateholder or any creditor of the Trust that the Trust is eligible
to be a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., as amended.

SECTION
5.4.         Restrictions on Residual Certificateholders’ Power.

 

(a)           Neither
the Residual Certificateholders nor the Insurer shall direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if such
action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic
Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3 or otherwise contrary to law nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any
such direction, if given.

 

(b)           No
Residual Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute
any suit, action, or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement or any Basic Document, unless
such party is the Instructing Party pursuant to Section 7.3 and unless such party previously shall have given to the Owner Trustee
a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as provided in this Agreement, and also unless Residual Certificateholders
evidencing not less than 25% by Percentage Interest of each class (or, during the Managed Amortization Period, the Class O Certificates
only) shall have made written request upon the Owner Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Owner
Trustee under this Agreement and shall have offered to the Owner Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Owner Trustee, for 30 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
during such 30-day period no request or waiver inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Owner Trustee pursuant
to and in compliance with this Section or Section 7.3; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Residual Certificateholder with every other Residual Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer, that no Holders of Residual
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this
Agreement to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Residual 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 provided in this Agreement and for the equal, ratable, and common benefit of all Residual Certificateholders and the Insurer.
For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.4, each and every Residual Certificateholder, the Owner
Trustee and the Insurer shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust the Basic Documents to which the Trust
is named as a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to
which the Trust is named as a party and any amendment thereto, in each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve and provide
to the Owner Trustee for execution as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof, and on behalf of
the Trust, to direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver Bonds in the principal amounts of $317,440,000. In addition
to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant
to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Instructing Party
recommends with respect to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee may rely on the Manager to carry out any action that the Owner
Trustee is authorized or directed to perform hereunder, to the extent permitted by the Management Agreement.

 

SECTION
7.2.         General Duties.  It
shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Residual Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents
and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have
discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the Depositor has agreed herein
or in the Master Servicing Agreement, or the Manager has agreed in the Management Agreement or the Indenture Trustee has agreed
in any Basic Document, to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Basic
Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the negligence, default or failure of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee

the Master Servicing Agreement, the Management Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable.

 

    	21

    	 

    

  

SECTION
7.3.         Action upon Instruction.

 

(a)           Subject
to Article V, the Insurer (the “Instructing Party”) shall have the exclusive right to direct the actions of
the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust, so long as such instructions are not inconsistent with the express terms set
forth herein or in any Basic Document. The Instructing Party shall not instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with
this Agreement or the Basic Documents. In acting in accordance with the direction of the Instructing Party pursuant to this Section
or pursuant to Article V, the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to (i) owe any fiduciary obligation to the Insurer or (ii) have
violated any fiduciary responsibility to the Residual Certificateholders. In acting (or refraining from acting) in good faith in
accordance with any instruction or direction of the Instructing Party (or any other Person authorized to instruct or direct the
Owner Trustee hereunder) given to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account
of such action or inaction, to any Person.

 

(b)           The
Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably
determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee
or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

 

(c)           Whenever
the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement
or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances)
to the Instructing Party requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts
in good faith in accordance with any instruction of the Instructing Party received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account
of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice
(or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances)
it may, but shall be under no duty to, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, take or refrain from taking such
action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem in good faith to be in the best interests
of the Residual Certificateholders and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

 

    	22

    	 

    

 

(d)           In
the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any
such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or
in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course
of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice
(in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Instructing Party requesting instruction and, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance
with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person.
If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period
of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no
duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem
in good faith to be in the best interests of the Residual Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such
action or inaction.

 

SECTION
7.4.         No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions.  The
Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose
of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection
with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee or the Trust is a party, except as expressly provided by the
terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 7.3; and no
implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee
shall have no responsibility to file any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or otherwise to
perfect or to maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted under the Indenture or to prepare or file any SEC
filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at
its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Owner Trust Estate
that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee (solely in its individual capacity) and that are not related
to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

 

SECTION
7.5.         No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions.  The
Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Owner Trust Estate except
(i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii)
in accordance with the Basic Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 7.3.

 

SECTION
7.6.         Restrictions.  The
Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (b)
that, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable
as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Instructing Party and the Residual Certificateholders
shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

(a)           It
is a banking corporation, duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of [Delaware]. It has
all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)           Neither
the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby nor
compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof will contravene any federal or [Delaware] state law, governmental rule
or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or constitute
any default under its charter documents or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is
a party (other than the Basic Documents) or by which any of its properties may be bound.

 

(d)           The
Owner Trustee has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Depositor and the Seller, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner Trustee,

by the proper party or parties and need not investigate any fact or matter in any such document as long as the Owner Trustee has
otherwise satisfied its obligations under this Agreement. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the
board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted
by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is

or any vice president or by the treasurer, secretary or other authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter,
and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in reliance thereon.

and other skilled persons to be selected with reasonable care and employed by it. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything
done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other
such persons and according to such opinion not contrary to this Agreement or any Basic Document.

made under any Basic Document or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action
of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.

 

SECTION
8.7.         Owner Trustee May Own Bonds and Residual Certificates.  The
Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds or Residual Certificates and may

will, even after the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee in accordance with Section 11.5 hereof, (i) require the consent
or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any other action
in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii)
result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by [___________________]

Termination
of Deposit Trust Agreement

 

SECTION
10.1.         Termination of Deposit Trust Agreement.

 

(a)           This
Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the dissolution and conclusion of the winding up of the business
and affairs of the Trust and the filing of a certificate of cancellation in accordance with the Statutory Trust Statute; provided,
however, that the rights to indemnification under Section 9.2 and the rights under Section 9.1 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement. The Trust shall dissolve and proceed to wind up its business and affairs upon the later of (i) the maturity
or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan (including the redemption by the Optional Redemption Holder at its option of the
Bonds as described in Section 7.01(b) of the Master Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect
of such Mortgage Loans as provided in the Basic Documents or (ii) the payment to Residual Certificateholders of all amounts required
to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture and the payment to the Insurer of all amounts payable or reimbursable
to it pursuant to the Master Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Insurance Agreement; The Servicer shall promptly notify
the Owner Trustee and the Insurer of any prospective dissolution pursuant to this Section 10.1. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution,
death or incapacity of any Residual Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or dissolve the Trust,
nor (y) entitle such Residual Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action
or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise
affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

 

(b)           Except
as provided in clause (a), neither the Depositor nor any other Residual Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or dissolve
the Trust.

 

(c)           Notice
of any dissolution of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date upon which the Residual Certificateholders shall surrender their Residual
Certificates to the Owner Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by
letter to the Residual Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such dissolution given pursuant
to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, stating (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Residual Certificates
shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Residual Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable,
payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Residual Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee therein
specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Indenture
Trustee at the time such notice is given to the Residual Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Residual Certificates,
the Indenture Trustee shall distribute to the Residual Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to
Section 4.11(a) herein.

 

    	29

    	 

    

 

In the event that all
of the Residual Certificateholders shall not surrender their Residual Certificates for cancellation within six months after the
date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Residual
Certificateholders to surrender their Residual Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice all the Residual Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Residual
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Residual Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and
other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall
be distributed, subject to applicable escheat laws, by the Owner Trustee to the Depositor and Holders shall look solely to the
Depositor for payment.

 

(d)           Any
funds remaining in the Trust after funds for final distribution have been distributed or set aside for distribution, to the extent
received by the Owner Trustee, shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee (or the Indenture Trustee) to the Residual Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.11(a) herein.

 

(e)           Upon
the completion of the winding up of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute, the Owner Trustee,
upon receipt from the Holders of 51% or more in Percentage Interest of the Class O Certificates of a direction to do so (which
direction shall include such factual certifications regarding the winding up of the Trust’s business and affairs as shall
be reasonably requested by the Owner Trustee), shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation
with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute.

SECTION
11.1.         Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee.  The
Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation (i) satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute;
(ii) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; (iii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or State authorities; (iv) having (or having a parent which has) a rating of at least
A3 by Moody’s or A-1 by Standard & Poor’s ; and (v) acceptable to the Insurer in its sole discretion. If such
corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising
or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation 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
Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.2.

 

    	30

    	 

    

 

SECTION
11.2.         Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee.  The
Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged its duties hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor
(or in the event that the Depositor is not the sole Residual Certificateholder, the Holders of Residual Certificates evidencing
not less than a majority in each class), the Insurer and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 11.1 herein, by written instrument,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and with additional copies to the successor Owner
Trustee and the Insurer provided that the Depositor shall have received written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies
that the proposed appointment will not result in an increased capital charge to the Insurer by either of the Rating Agencies.
If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or the Insurer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Owner Trustee.

 

If at any time the Owner
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then
the Depositor with the consent of the Insurer may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Depositor shall remove the Owner Trustee under
the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, meeting the
qualifications set forth in Section 11.1 herein, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered
to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed, one copy to the Insurer and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and the Depositor
shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee, if not previously paid by the Trust.

 

Any resignation or removal
of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 11.3 and payment of all fees and expenses
owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each
of the Rating Agencies.

 

Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, and in addition to any other method of removal of the Owner Trustee contained herein, upon a proposal
made pursuant to Section 5.2 and the subsequent consent of Residual Certificateholders representing no less than a 66-2/3%
Percentage Interest of each Class (or, during the Managed Amortization Period, the Class O Certificates only), the Owner Trustee
may be removed as Owner Trustee, subject to the consent of the Insurer, which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld. In the
event the Owner Trustee is removed pursuant to this paragraph, the provisions of this Agreement, including Article X herein, shall
apply as if the Owner Trustee had resigned hereunder.

 

    	31

    	 

    

 

SECTION
11.3.         Successor Owner Trustee.  Any
successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 11.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer
and the Insurer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment
of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this
Agreement; and the Depositor and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things
as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations.

 

No successor Owner Trustee
shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be
eligible pursuant to Section 11.1.

 

Upon acceptance of appointment
by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to
all Residual Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Bondholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Depositor shall fail to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.

 

SECTION
11.4.         Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee.  Any
corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 11.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, further,
that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer.

 

SECTION
11.5.         Appointment of Co-Owner Trustee or Separate Owner Trustee.  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Owner Trustee and the Insurer to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor
and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15
days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee subject to the approval of the Insurer (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 11.1 and no notice of the appointment
of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 11.3.

 

    	32

    	 

    

 

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

 

(i)          all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed
by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee
is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
Owner Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee
or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

 

(ii)         no
trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement;
and

 

(iii)        the
Depositor and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

 

Any notice, request or
other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article. 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 Owner 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 Owner Trustee. Each such
instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Insurer.

 

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

Certificateholders and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the Bondholders, (i) to
cure any ambiguity or defect or (ii) to correct, supplement or modify any provisions in this Agreement; provided, however,

affect in any material respect the interests of any Bondholder or Residual Certificateholder.

 

(b)           This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time, with the prior written consent of the Insurer, by the Depositor and the Owner
Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, and, to the extent such amendment materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Bondholders, with the consent of the Bondholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount
of the Bonds, and the consent of the Residual Certificateholders evidencing not less than a majority interest in each Class (which
consent of any Holder of a Bond or Residual Certificate given pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision of this
Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of such Bond or Residual Certificate and of
any Bond or Residual Certificate issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Bond or Residual Certificate) 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 Bondholders or the Residual
Certificateholders; provided, however, that, subject to the express rights of the Insurer under the Basic Documents, no
such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments
on Mortgage Loans or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Bondholders or the Residual Certificateholders
or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Bonds and the Residual Certificate, the Holders of which

to each Residual Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and each of the Rating Agencies.

 

It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Bondholders or the Residual Certificateholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of
obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Residual Certificateholders provided for in this Agreement or in any other Basic
Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Residual Certificateholders shall be subject to such
reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may prescribe. Promptly after the execution of any amendment to the Certificate of
Trust, the Owner Trustee shall cause the filing of such amendment with the Secretary of State.

of any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions
precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated

to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate.

contained herein.

(a)           This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of the Insurer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all covenants
and agreements in this Agreement which confer rights upon the Insurer shall be for the benefit of and run directly to the Insurer
and the Insurer shall be entitled to rely on and enforce such covenants, subject, however, to the limitations on such rights provided
in this Agreement and the Basic Documents. The Insurer may disclaim any of its rights and powers under this Agreement (but not
its duties and obligations hereunder or under the Policy) upon delivery of a written notice to the Owner Trustee.

accepting instructions from the Insurer pursuant to Article V or Section 7.3 of this Agreement, and with respect to any other obligations
of the Owner Trustee to the Insurer under this Agreement, the Owner Trustee undertakes to perform or observe only its express obligations
under this Agreement, and no implied obligations with respect to the Insurer shall be read into this Agreement against the Owner
Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Insurer and it is expressly understood and agreed
by the Insurer that the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable or responsible for the payment of any amount owing on or with
respect to the Basic Documents or for the failure of the Trust to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents or any other

SECTION
12.8.         No Petition.  The
Owner Trustee (not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee), by entering into this Agreement and each Residual
Certificateholder, by accepting a Residual Certificate, hereby covenants and agrees that they will not at any time institute against

SECTION

Certificates represent beneficial interests in the Trust only and do not represent interests in or obligations of the Servicer,
the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be had against
such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in this Agreement, the Residual Certificates
or the Basic Documents.

OWNER TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Residual Certificates referred to in the within-mentioned Amended and Restated Deposit Trust Agreement.

 

	[___________________], 
	not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee

 

	By:	 
	 	Authenticating Agent

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

The Trust was created
pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of ________, 20__ (the “Trust Agreement”), between
the Depositor and [___________________], as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement. To the extent the terms hereof conflict with the Trust Agreement, the
terms of the Trust Agreement shall govern.

 

This Residual Certificate
is one of the duly authorized Residual Certificates designated as “Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 20__ - _, Class _____”
(herein called, together with the Asset Backed Certificates, Class _____, the “Residual Certificates”). Also
issued by the Trust under the Indenture a single class of Bonds (the “Bonds”). These Residual Certificates are
issued under and are subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder
of this Residual Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the
Trust includes a pool of certain adjustable rate home equity revolving credit line loans (the “Mortgage Loans”)
(including any Additional Balances related thereto).

 

Under the Trust Agreement,
there will be distributed on the __th day of each month or, if such __th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (the
“Payment Date”), commencing on __________, 201_, to the Person in whose name this Residual Certificate is registered
at the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Payment Date (the “Record Date”) such Residual Certificateholder’s
Percentage Interest in the amount to be distributed to Residual Certificateholders of such Class on such Payment Date.

 

The holder of this Residual
Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Residual Certificate are subordinated
to the rights of the Bondholders as described in the Master Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

 

The holder of this Residual
Certificate, by acceptance of this Residual Certificate, specifically acknowledges that it has no right to or interest in any monies
at any time held in the Trust Estate prior to the release of such monies pursuant to Section 8.7(b)(xiv) (and, in the case of the
Class L Certificates, Sections 8.7(b)(iv), (v) and (vi)) of the Indenture, such monies being held in trust for the benefit of the
Bondholders and the Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that it is ever determined that the monies held in the
Owner Trust Estate constitute a pledge of collateral, then the provisions of the Master Servicing Agreement shall be considered
to constitute a security agreement and the holder of this Residual Certificate hereby acknowledges and consents to the grant by
the Trust to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer a first priority perfected security interest in such amounts. In addition, each
Residual Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Residual Certificate, hereby acknowledges and consents to the appointment by the
Trust of the Depositor as the Trust’s agent to pledge a first priority perfected security interest in the Reserve Fund and
agrees to execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance, assignment, grant, confirmation, etc., as well as any financing statements,
in each case as the Insurer shall consider reasonably necessary in order to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest
in the Trust Property.

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

It is the intention of
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Residual Certificateholders that, for federal, state and other income tax purposes, the Bonds
be classified as debt of the Trust. In the event that the Residual Certificates are held by more than one Holder, it is the intent
of the Depositor, the Servicer, and the Residual Certificateholders that, for purposes of Federal income taxes, the Trust will
be treated as a partnership and the Residual Certificateholders (and, if the Class C Interest is characterized as an equity interest
in the Trust, the holder of the Class C Interest) will be treated as partners in that partnership. The Depositor and any other
Residual Certificateholders, by acceptance of a Residual Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the
treatment of, the Residual Certificates for such tax purposes as partnership interests in the Trust and the Bonds as indebtedness
of the Trust. Each Residual Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Residual
Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Trust or the Depositor, or join in any institution against the Trust
or the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Residual Certificates,
the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

 

Distributions on this
Residual Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement and the Master Servicing Agreement and the Indenture by the
Owner Trustee by wire transfer to the Residual Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation
or surrender of this Residual Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement
and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Residual Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee
of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Residual Certificate at the office or agency
maintained for the purpose by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office.

 

Unless the certificate
of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature,
this Residual Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Master Servicing
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

 

The Residual Certificates
do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Company, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Insurer, the Owner Trustee
or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set
forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Residual Certificate
is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein, in the Master Servicing Agreement and in the Indenture. A
copy of each of the Master Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal
office of the Depositor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor, by any Residual Certificateholder upon
written request.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

The Trust Agreement permits,
with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor
and the rights of the Residual Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee
with the prior written consent of the Insurer and with the consent of the holders of the Bonds and the Residual Certificates evidencing
not less than a majority of the outstanding Bonds and the Residual Certificates. Any such amendment shall be conclusive and binding
upon the holder of this Residual Certificate and on all future holders of this Residual Certificate and of any Residual Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Residual Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent
of the holders of any of the Residual Certificates (other than the Depositor, or the Insurer).

 

As provided in the Trust
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Residual Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Residual Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the
Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Owner 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 Residual Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing
the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed
under the Trust Agreement is the Owner Trustee.

 

The Residual Certificates
are issuable only as registered Residual Certificates without coupons in minimum Percentage Interests of 10% and integral multiples
of 1% in excess thereof. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Residual Certificates
are exchangeable for new Residual Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested
by the holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable
in connection therewith.

 

The Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, or the Insurer may treat the
person in whose name this Residual Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar, the Insurer nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The obligations and responsibilities
created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Residual Certificateholders of
all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Indenture and the Master Servicing Agreement and the
disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Holders of the Class C Interest and the Class O Certificates may at
their option redeem the Bonds at a price and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in Section 7.01(b) of the Master
Servicing Agreement, and if all of the Bonds are redeemed, such redemption may result in termination of the Trust which may effect
a transfer of the Residual Certificates; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to certain restrictions set forth
in the Master Servicing Agreement.

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

The recitals contained
herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Residual Certificate or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Residual Certificate to be duly executed.

Upon being promoted to Senior Vice President of Corporate Sales and Marketing (anticipated to occur approximately May 1999 depending on performance), EXECUTIVE's annual salary will be increased to $175,000.00.  The annual salary will be paid periodically in accordance with NAPCO's standard payroll practices, which is presently on a weekly basis.

	  	  
	
(b)        Signing Bonus - NAPCO will pay a signing bonus to EXECUTIVE according to the following schedule:

	
(i)

(ii)

	
$10,000.00 on December 31, 1998; and

	
(iii)

	
$10,000.00 on May 31, 1999.

 

  

  

  

 

(c)         Bonus Plan - A maximum bonus of $95,000.00 may be earned by EXECUTIVE based on (i) sales volume; (ii) profitability; and (iii) meeting the annual budget for the Sales and Marketing department.

With respect to sales volume, (i) a bonus of $10,000.00 will be paid to EXECUTIVE if net annual sales for NAPCO increase greater than or equal five percent (5%) but less than ten percent (10%); (ii) a bonus of $28,875.00 will be paid to employee if net annual sales for NAPCO increase greater than or equal to ten percent (10%) but less than fifteen percent (15%); and (iii) a bonus of $50,000.00 will be paid to EXECUTIVE if net annual sales for NAPCO increase greater than or equal to fifteen percent (15%).

With respect to profitability, (i) a bonus of $7,000.00 will be paid to EXECUTIVE if the average selling price of the top 250 stock keeping units (SKU's), which represent approximately ninety-nine  percent (99%) of overall corporate sales, maintains an average selling price within the range of six percent (6%) below target (i.e., level 1 pricing) to less than or equal to six point five percent (6.5%) below target; (ii) a bonus of $17,325.00 will be paid to EXECUTIVE if the average selling price of the top 250 stock keeping units (SKU's), which represent approximately ninety-nine percent (99%) of overall corporate sales, maintains an average selling price within the range of greater than five percent (5%) below target to less than six percent (6%) below target, and (iii) a bonus of $25,000.00 will be paid to EXECUTIVE if the average selling price of the top 250 stock keeping units (SKU's), which represent approximately ninety-nine percent (99%) of overall corporate sales, maintains an average selling price of five percent (5%) below target (level 1 pricing) or better.

With respect to any bonus based on established budgets for the sales and marketing division of NAPCO, (i) a bonus of $11,550.00 will be paid to EXECUTIVE if the established budget is not exceeded and (ii) a bonus of $20,000.00 will be paid to EXECUTIVE if actual expenses attributed to the Sales and Marketing department is five percent (5%) or more below budget.  The budget may be adjusted throughout the year, and would require approval of joint executive management.  No bonus based on budget targets will be paid if overall annual corporate sales are not increased as compared to the previous fiscal year.

With respect to all three elements of the bonus plan, measurements including sales volume, profitability and the like will be measured from June 30, 1998 through June 30, 1999.

 IV.       RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS:

(a)        EXECUTIVE acknowledges that technical, financial and other confidential information of NAPCO or any third party with which NAPCO is in technical or commercial cooperation, or which EXECUTIVE may obtain knowledge in the course of and by virtue of his employment, constitutes valuable and confidential assets and that unauthorized disclosure or utilization thereof would be detrimental to NAPCO.  EXECUTIVE therefore agrees that he will not disclose or utilize, either during his employment or thereafter, any such technical or other confidential information, without first obtaining NAPCO's written consent thereto, except as such disclosure or utilization may be required by EXECUTIVE's service to NAPCO or by law.

(b)         All trade secrets and proprietary information including, but not limited to, all formulas, patterns, designs, sales and business plans, plant secrets, processes, methods for determination of costs, customer lists, and other confidential secrets, or internal information which heretofore have been or hereafter may be conceived by or disclosed to EXECUTIVE in the course of EXECUTIVE's employment, shall at all times be and remain the sole and exclusive property of NAPCO, except as required by law or by EXECUTIVE's employment at NAPCO, and shall be kept confidential by EXECUTIVE and not be utilized personally be EXECUTIVE or divulged by EXECUTIVE to any third party or company.

(c)         All inventions, improvements, patent pendings, ideas concerning patents or improvements relating thereto (collectively hereinafter referred to as "Inventions") which EXECUTIVE solely, or with others, receives or reduces to practice or may conceive in the course of such employment or with the use of NAPCO time, material or facilities, or relating to any subject matter with which my work for NAPCO is or may be concerned or reduced to practice during the term of my employment by NAPCO, shall be the sole property of NAPCO.

(d)         EXECUTIVE shall promptly disclose in writing to NAPCO and maintain adequate and current written records of such Inventions, in the form of notes, sketches, drawings or reports, which shall be the property of NAPCO, shall specifically assign to NAPCO all such Inventions and shall executed all papers and perform all other lawful acts which NAPCO deems necessary or advisable for the preparation and prosecution of patent applications and the procurement and maintenance of United States and foreign patents and for the transfer of interests therein to NAPCO.  It is understood and agreed that all expenses incurred with respect to the obligations of this paragraph shall be by NAPCO or its nominee.  EXECUTIVE shall make no other application for intellectual property relating to such Inventions without the express written approval of NAPCO.

 

(e)         EXECUTIVE shall not make or permit to be made, except pursuant to his duties hereunder and for the sole use and account of NAPCO, any papers or documents, including drawings and records of research, made by EXECUTIVE or at EXECUTIVE's directions or which may come into EXECUTIVE's possession in any way, and EXECUTIVE shall deliver to NAPCO on the termination of employment, all such materials in EXECUTIVE'S possession.

 

  

  

  

 

(f)         EXECUTIVE agrees that during the term of employment hereunder, he will not, except with the prior written consent of NAPCO, directly or indirectly engage in, or accept any position as an agent, employee, officer or director of, or consult, advise with, invest in, or otherwise in any way give assistance to aid any person, firm or corporation (or any of their related entities) in the security alarm, fire alarm, security lock, security hardware or entry access products industry either as a manufacturer, installer and/or distributor.  For a period of three (3) years after the termination of EXECUTIVE's employment hereunder, he will not, without the prior written consent of NAPCO, directly or indirectly engage in, or accept any position as agent, employee, officer or director of, or consult, advise with, invest in (except in insignificant amounts) or otherwise in anyway give assistance or aid to any person, firm, or corporation (or any of their related entities) engaging in business which relates directly or indirectly with the business of NAPCO or which would be competitive or a competitive substitute with any product(s) or product lines in the security alarm, fire alarm, security lock, security hardware or entry access products industry either as a manufacturer, installer, and/or distributor of which NAPCO was involved with at the time of termination of EXECUTIVE's employment hereunder.  This provision applies to any aforementioned affiliation of EXECUTIVE to any person, firm, or corporation (or any of their related entities) engaging in business which relates directly or indirectly with the business of NAPCO or which would be competitive or a competitive substitute with any product(s) or product lines in the security alarm, fire alarm, security lock, security hardware or entry access products industry either as a manufacturer, installer, and/or distributor which is conducting any business in the United States of America.  EXECUTIVE explicitly acknowledges the reasonableness of the scope of this paragraph in view of the fact that EXECUTIVE was never previously engaged in any businesses relating to NAPCO, and in view of the fact that EXECUTIVE's position at NAPCO will enable him to become privy to significant and sensitive information.

(g)         EXECUTIVE covenants and agrees that so long as he is in the employ of NAPCO and after leaving the employ of NAPCO, he will not directly or indirectly disclose, communicate, divulge or furnish to or use for the benefit of himself (except while he is in the employ solely and in the pursuit of the activities of NAPCO) or any other person, firm or corporation, any other of the trade secrets, designs, improvements, marketing plans, inventions of NAPCO belonging to NAPCO, or the designs, or processes of distribution, or processes of manufacture of any product or article sold or distributed by NAPCO, which EXECUTIVE may learn by virtue by his activities or which he may develop for NAPCO.

V.          REMEDIES:

The parties hereto recognize that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the EXECUTIVE of the provisions of Section IV hereunder of, NAPCO will suffer irreparable injury in connection with which damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain and it is therefore agreed that NAPCO, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have under this AGREEMENT, or at law or in equity, shall be entitled to an injunction against the EXECUTIVE issued by any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach or threatened breach.

VI.         EFFECT OF WAIVER:

 

  

  

  

 

The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this AGREEMENT shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof.

VII.       NOTICE:

The parties agree that this AGREEMENT shall be governed, interpreted and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York.

IX.         SEVERABILITY:

If any provision of this AGREEMENT shall, to any extent, be deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this AGREEMENT shall not be affected, and each term shall be valid and shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

X.          AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT:

No amendment of this AGREEMENT shall be effective unless reduced to writing and executed by a duly authorized officer of NAPCO and by EXECUTIVE.

XI.         TERM:

This AGREEMENT shall be for a term of two years from the first date of employment and may be renewed upon mutual written agreement by the parties.  The AGREEMENT will be reviewed with respect to a possible renewal one (1) year prior to its expiration date.  However, nothing in this provision requires NAPCO to pay severance greater that established in Section III.

XII.       TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT:

In the event that EXECUTIVE voluntarily leaves the employ of employer without cause or he is terminated with cause, all benefits of this AGREEMENT shall cease.
