FEE LETTER 
 
Re:    Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement 
 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 
Reference is made to (i) the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 17, 1999, among U.S.I. Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), Credit Lyonnais Cayman Island Branch (“Credit Lyonnais”), as Administrative Agent and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank (“JPMorgan”), as Syndication Agent (as amended, modified or supplemented through the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”) and (ii) the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement,
dated as of January 31, 2003, among the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent (the “Eighth Amendment”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
meanings provided such terms in the Credit Agreement. 
 
By your signature below, you agree to pay the following non-refundable fees: 
 

	  Amendment Fee: 
	  An amendment fee, to be earned by and payable to each Lender which approves the Eighth Amendment, equal to 0.50% of the sum of
the total outstanding Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Lender, in each case, as of the effective date of the Eighth 

 
 

 

	  	  Amendment (the “Eighth Amendment Effective Date”), which amendment fee shall due and payable on the Eighth Amendment
Effective Date. 

 

	  Structuring Fee: 
	  A structuring fee in an amount equal to 0.75% of the sum of the total outstanding Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitment,
in each case, as of Eighth Amendment Effective Date, which structuring fee shall be earned by and due and payable to Credit Lyonnais on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date. 

 

	  Refinancing Fee: 
	  A refinancing fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the sum of the total outstanding Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitment,
in each case, as of October 1, 2003, which refinancing fee shall be earned by and due and payable to Credit Lyonnais on October 1, 2003 if all of the Loans under the Credit Agreement have not been repaid and all of the Commitments thereunder
terminated as of such date. 

 
Furthermore, it is hereby agreed that if by July 31, 2003, the Borrower retains in writing Credit Lyonnais (or its affiliates), alone or with others, to structure and arrange a new senior credit facility (the “2003 Senior Credit
Facility”), then (x) the amount of any refinancing fee that is subsequently paid to Credit Lyonnais pursuant to the caption “Refinancing Fee” in this letter and (y) an amount equal to 1/3 (i.e., 0.25%) of any structuring fee
theretofore paid to Credit Lyonnais pursuant to the caption “Structuring Fee” in this letter, in each case, shall be credited towards any fees otherwise receivable by Credit Lyonnais (or any of its affiliates) in connection with the 2003
Senior Credit Facility. It is understood and agreed that this letter shall not constitute or give rise to any obligation on the part of Credit Lyonnais to participate in the arrangement of, or provide or commit to provide any financing under, the
2003 Senior Credit Facility. 
 
Reference is made
to the Fee Letter, dated as of March 29, 2002, among the Borrower, Credit Lyonnais and JPMorgan (the “March 2002 Fee Letter”). Credit Lyonnais hereby waives any right to receive the advisory fee required to be paid pursuant to the caption
“Advisory Fee” in the March 2002 Fee Letter. 
 
This Fee Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by Credit Lyonnais and you. This Fee Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This Fee
Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Fee Letter by facsimile transmission
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 
This Fee Letter is delivered to you on the understanding that neither this Fee Letter nor any of its terms or substance shall be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other person except (a) to your officers, agents and
advisors who are directly involved in the consideration of this matter or (b) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law (in which case you agree to inform us promptly thereof).

 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 
  
 THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of             , is made by and among E*TRADE MORTGAGE
BACKED SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”),                 , a
                , as Master Servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and
                , in its capacity as Securities Administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), and
                , a                 , as trustee (the
“Trustee”) and acknowledged by E*TRADE BANK, a federal savings bank, as seller (the “Seller”) for purposes of acknowledgment and agreement with respect to the rights and obligations of the Seller hereunder.

  
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 
  
 The Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller and, at the Closing Date, is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee
hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund. As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans had an aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of $[Ÿ]. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trustee in consideration of the Depositor’s transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The
Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. 
  

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising one or more real estate mortgage investment
conduits (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Pooling REMIC,” the “Intermediate REMIC” and the “Issuing REMIC,” respectively). Each Certificate, other than the Class R-_
Certificate, shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Issuing REMIC. 
  
 The Issuing REMIC shall hold
as its assets the several classes of uncertificated Intermediate REMIC Interests in the Intermediate REMIC and each such Intermediate REMIC Interest, other than the interest represented by the Class R-_ Certificate, is hereby designated as a regular
interest in the Intermediate REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Intermediate REMIC shall hold as its assets the several classes of uncertificated Pooling REMIC Interests in the Pooling REMIC and each such Pooling REMIC Interest, other
than the interest represented by the Class R-_ Certificate, is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Pooling REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Pooling REMIC shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund. The
“Startup Day” for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC
created hereby is the month following the month in which the Mortgage Loan having the latest maturity date matures.

in good faith business judgment, that such Assignment of Mortgage is required to be recorded to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loans. Any such recordation of an Assignment of Mortgage shall be an expense of the
Depositor. 
  
 In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, the Depositor (at the Seller’s expense) further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business Days
after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by
the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the
code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it will
not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off
Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee, shall deposit in the Collection Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 4.1 hereof. 
  
 All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee
or the Custodian on its behalf are and shall be held by the [Master Servicer] or the related Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is
required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf. 
  
 SECTION 2.2    Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans. 
  
 (a)    The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E and
declares that it holds and shall hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or shall hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it shall maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of [Ÿ], unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies. 
  
 The Trustee agrees to execute and
deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Seller an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial
Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. 
  
 Not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Seller a Final Certification with respect to the
Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. 
  
 If,
in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 hereof, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided,
however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or
(ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. 
  
 (b)    The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. 

 
 42 

  
 (c)    Upon execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby
delivers to the Trustee and the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Sale Agreement, the Acknowledgements, together with the related Purchase Agreements and the Servicing Agreements. 
  
 SECTION 2.3    Discovery of Breach; Repurchase and Substitution of Mortgage Loans. 
  
 (a)    Pursuant to Section 3.01(h) of the Sale Agreement, the Seller has made certain representations and warranties as to the characteristics of the
Mortgage Loans (set forth in Schedule VI of this Agreement) as of the Closing Date and the conveyance thereof from the Seller to the Depositor, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Seller has agreed to comply with
the provisions of this Section 2.3 in respect of a breach of any of such representations and warranties. 
  
 It is
understood and agreed that such representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(h) of the Sale Agreement shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue
throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by the Depositor or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or, following the date of delivery to the Trustee of a Final Certification, that a document is missing from,
a Mortgage File, or discovery by the Depositor or the Seller of the breach by the Seller of any representation or warranty under the Sale Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or
the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”) (each of such parties hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and the other of such parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall
promptly notify the Depositor in writing of such defective or missing document or breach and request that the Depositor deliver such missing document or cure or cause the cure of such defect or breach within 90 days from the date that the Depositor
discovered or was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Depositor does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s
obligation under the Sale Agreement and cause the Seller to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90-day period (subject to Section 2.3(b) and
2.3(c) below); provided, however, that, subject to Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(c) in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90-day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach
within such 90-day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within an additional 90-day period. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the
Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee,
shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). 

 
 43 

  
 In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either party
may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) and substitute one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.3(b) below. If the Seller is not a member of MERS at the time when it repurchases a Mortgage Loan and the Mortgage is registered on the MERS® System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’s rules and regulations. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders. 
  
 (b)    Subject to Section 2.3(c), any substitution of
Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) above must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller
substitutes a Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by delivering to the Trustee, for such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents
and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described
below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Substitute Mortgage Loan and, within 45 days thereafter, shall review such Mortgage Files and deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, with respect
to such Substitute Mortgage Loans, a certification substantially in the form of a revised Initial Certification, with any exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Custodian shall deliver to the Trustee and the
Depositor a certification substantially in the form of a revised Final Certification, with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loans, with any exceptions noted thereon. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders shall reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall
constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, including all representations and warranties thereof included in the Sale Agreement, in each case as of the date of
substitution. 
  
 For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more
Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a “Substitution Adjustment Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance of the Substitute Mortgage Loans replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together with one month’s interest on such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the 

 
 44 

  
 Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the related Collection
Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the related Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the
related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto. 
  
 In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal
tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on “contributions after the Startup Date” under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given. 
  
 (c)    Upon discovery by the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
“qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) and the related REMIC provisions of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the applicable party shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b), substitute one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 75 days
of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.3(a) above. The Trustee shall re-convey to the Seller
the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty. 
  
 (d)    The Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and each
Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of such party relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.3 and the Sale
Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or
on “contributions after the Startup Date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (ii) any REMIC formed hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. 

 
 45 

  
 SECTION 2.4    Execution and Delivery of Certificates.

  
 The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer
and assignment, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the
Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected. 
  
 SECTION 2.5    Grant Clause.

  
 (a)    It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed to be in
respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a
first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure
payment of the Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of
the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be
distributed as herein provided. 
  
 (b)    The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with
this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward
a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary
to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other
statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest
of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is
organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including
the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Seller or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of 

 
 46 

  
 organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other
statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and the
Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this
paragraph (b).

 ADMINISTRATION OF TRUST FUND 
  
 SECTION 4.1    Collection Accounts; Distribution Account. 
  
 (a)    On or prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall have caused the Servicers to establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts, which shall be Eligible
Accounts into which all Scheduled Payments and unscheduled payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans, net of any deductions or reimbursements permitted under the related Servicing Agreement, shall be deposited. On each Remittance Date, the

 (c)    In the event the Master Servicer or a Servicer has remitted in error to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be remitted in accordance with the definition of Available Distribution Amount, it
may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account for repayment to the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to Trustee which describes the amount

4.3    Advances by Master Servicer. 
  
 If any Servicer fails to remit any Advance
required to be made under the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Business
Day preceding the Distribution Date immediately following such Determination Date, remit to the Securities Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the Distribution Account immediately available
funds in an amount equal to such Advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances made by it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its
reasonable judgment that an Advance is a Non-recoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is a Non-recoverable Advance, it shall, on or prior to the
related Distribution Date, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee to such effect; provided, that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Servicer provided an Officer Certificate that any Advance would constitute
a Non-recoverable Advance, such Officer’s Certificate shall fulfill the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 4.3. 
  
 SECTION 4.4    Compensating Interest Payments. 
  
 The amount of
the aggregate Master Servicing Fees payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, but only to the extent that
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating to such Distribution Date are required to be paid but not actually paid by the Servicers. Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the Master Servicer. 

 
 SECTION 4.5    Pre-Funding Account. 
  
 (a)    The Trustee shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account, to be held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders, entitled
“Pre-Funding Account of [Ÿ], as Trustee, for the benefit of Holders of the E*TRADE MBSC Trust 200_-_ Mortgage-Backed
Certificates.” On the 

 
 52 

 Closing Date, the Depositor will cause to be deposited to the Pre-Funding Account the Pre-Funded Amount. 
  
 (b)    Amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account (exclusive of investment earnings thereon) shall solely be
applied to acquire Subsequent Mortgage Loans. 
  
 (c)    On any Subsequent Sale Date, the
Depositor shall instruct the Trustee, in writing, to withdraw funds (exclusive of investment earnings) from the Pre-Funding Account (specifying the applicable sub-account, if applicable) in an amount equal to the price for the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans to be acquired on such Subsequent Sale Date, and to pay such amount to the order of the Depositor. In no event shall the Trustee withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount in excess of the Pre-Funded Amount (or portion thereof) deposited
to such Account on the Closing Date. 
  
 (d)    During the Pre-Funding Period, amounts on deposit
in the Pre-Funding Account may be invested in Permitted Investments by the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor, or in absence of direction from the Depositor, in money market funds described in paragraph (viii) of the definition of Permitted
Investments in Article I. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in it capacity as such) or its nominee. Any investment earnings on such Permitted Investments held in the Pre-Funding Account shall be immediately
transferred to the Distribution Account and constitute part of the Available Distribution Amount for distribution to the related Certificateholders on the next succeeding Distribution Date. 
  
 (e)    On the last day of the Pre-Funding Period, the Trustee shall transfer any remaining Pre-Funded Amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account (or
sub-account thereof, if applicable) to the Distribution Account, which will be held uninvested, and will be included in the Available Distribution Amount for distribution to the Certificates as an additional prepayment of principal on the
immediately following Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.1 and terminate such Account. 
  
 (f)    The Pre-Funding Account shall not be an asset of any REMIC created under this Agreement. 
  
 (g)    The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall be the legal owner of the Pre-Funding Account. All amounts earned on deposits in the Pre-Funding Account shall be taxable to
                    . The Trustee shall release to
                     all investment earnings in the Pre-Funding Account on the Business Day immediately following the end of the Pre-Funding
Period. 
  
 (h)    Withdrawals pursuant to this section clause 4.5 shall be treated as
contributions of cash to the Pooling REMIC on the date of withdrawal. 
  
 (i)    Each Subsequent
Mortgage Loan acquired with funds from the Pre-Funding Account shall be acquired pursuant to a fixed price contract within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code § 860G(a)(3)(A)(ii). 
  
 (j)    On the Subsequent Sales Date, each Subsequent Mortgage Loan must meet the following conditions: (i) the remaining term to maturity of each
Subsequent Mortgage Loan may not exceed 30 years; (ii) the addition of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans will not result in the 

 
 53 

 reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates; (iii) no Subsequent Mortgage Loan may have a
Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 100%; (iv) each Subsequent Mortgage Loan will be underwritten in accordance with the underwriting guidelines used for the original Mortgage Loans; and (v) the acquisition of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans will not
lower the weighed average annual percentage rate of all of the Mortgage Loans held by the Trust Fund by 100 basis points or more. 
  
 SECTION 4.6    Financial Assets Custodial Account. 
  
 (a)    The Trustee, shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account, to be held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders, entitled “Financial Assets Custodial Account of [Ÿ], as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the E*TRADE MBSC Trust 200_-_ Mortgage-Backed Certificates.” On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall
cause to be deposited in the Financial Assets Custodial Account the those Financial Assets identified on Schedule II. 
  
 (b)    The Financial Asset Custodial Account is a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) in respect of which the Trustee is a “securities intermediary” (within
the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) and the Trustee is the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC). 
  
 (c)    The Trustee hereby agrees that each item of property (whether cash, a security, an instrument or any other property whatsoever) credited to any of the Accounts shall be
treated as a “financial asset” under Article 8 of the UCC. All securities and other financial assets credited to the Financial Asset Custodial Account that are in registered form or that are payable to or to order shall be (i) registered
in the name of, or payable to or to the order of, the Trustee, (ii) endorsed to or to the order of the Trustee or in blank or (iii) credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Trustee. 
  
 (d)    The Trustee agrees that its “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of
Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) with respect to the Accounts is the State of [Ÿ]. 
  
 (e)    Any distributions received in respect of the Financial Assets during the related Due Period shall be remitted
to the Distribution Account on or prior to the related Distribution Date for Distribution pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 4.7    Calculation of LIBOR. 
  
 (a)    For each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee will determine the arithmetic mean of the London Interbank Offered Rate quotations for one-month Eurodollar deposits (“LIBOR”) for the
succeeding Accrual Period on the basis of the Reference Banks’ offered LIBOR quotations provided to the Trustee as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) for such LIBOR Determination Date. As used herein with respect to a LIBOR Determination Date,
“Reference Banks” means leading banks engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market (i) with an established place of business in London, (ii) whose quotations appear on the Designated
Telerate Page for the LIBOR Determination Date in question and (iii) which have been designated as such by the Servicer and are able and willing to provide such quotations to the Servicer for each LIBOR Determination Date. “Designated
Telerate Page” 

 
 54 

 means the [BBA Page][the Bloomberg Screen US0001 Index Page]. [“BBA Page” means the interest settlement rates set by the
British Bankers’ Association as currently displayed on the Dow Jones Telerate Service page 3750.] [“Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page” means the display designated as page US0001M on the Bloomberg Financial Markets
Commodities News (or such other pages as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying LIBOR quotations of major banks)]. If any Reference Bank should be removed from the Telerate Page or in any other way fails to meet the
qualifications of a Reference Bank, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, designate an alternative Reference Bank. 
  
 (b)    For each LIBOR Determination Date, LIBOR for the next succeeding Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee as follows: 
  
 (i)     If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, two or more of the Reference Banks provide offered LIBOR quotations on the Telerate Page,
LIBOR for the next Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places). 
  
 (ii)     If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides such offered LIBOR quotations for
the next applicable Accrual Period, LIBOR for the next Accrual Period will be the higher of (x) LIBOR as determined for the previous LIBOR Determination Date and (y) the Reserve Interest Rate. The “Reserve Interest Rate” will be the
rate per annum that the Trustee determines to be either (A) the arithmetic mean (rounding such arithmetic mean if necessary to the nearest five decimal places) of the one-month Eurodollar lending rate that New York City banks selected by the Trustee
are quoting, on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two leading banks in the London Interbank market or (B) in the event that the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month
Eurodollar lending rate that the New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading European banks. 
  
 (iii)    If, for any LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the
manner provided in paragraph (ii) above, LIBOR for the next applicable Accrual Period will be LIBOR as determined for the previous LIBOR Determination Date. 
  
 (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, LIBOR for an Accrual Period shall not be based on LIBOR for the previous Accrual Period for two consecutive LIBOR Determination Dates. If,
under the priorities described above, LIBOR for an Accrual Period would be based on LIBOR for the previous LIBOR Determination Date for the second consecutive LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee shall select an alternative index (over which the
Trustee has no control) used for determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent third party. 
  
 (d)    The establishment of LIBOR (or an alternative index) by the Trustee for the relevant Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be
final and binding. 

 
 55 

  
 SECTION 4.8    Monthly Statements to
Certificateholders.

 (xi)    with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became an REO Property during
the preceding calendar month, the loan number and Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date and the date of acquisition thereof;

 (xvi)    the Pre-Funded Amount, if any, in the Pre-Funding Account on the related Distribution Date, the amount of funds, if any, used to purchase Subsequent Mortgage Loans during the Pre-Funding Period and the
amount of funds, if any, allocated as a prepayment of principal at the end of the Pre-Funding Period. 
  
 The Trustee
may make the above information available to Certificateholders via the Trustee’s website at [Ÿ]. 
  
 (b)    The Trustee’s responsibility for disseminating the above information to the Certificateholders is limited
to the availability, timeliness and accuracy of the information provided by the Servicers and/or the Master Servicer. 
  
 (c)    Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a statement
containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii) of this Section 4.8 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect. 
  

SECTION 4.9    Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
  
 (a)    Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”), a Form 8-K with a copy of the statement to be furnished by the Securities Administrator to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
[Ÿ], the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the

 (ix)    to the class A certificates, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount, allocated in the following sequential order: 
  
 (A)    first, to the Class A-1 Certificates in reduction of their certificate principal amount, until reduced to zero; and

Subordinate Certificates on any Distribution Date the sum of the related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of Subordinate Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than such Class (the
“Applicable Credit Support Percentage”) is less than the Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution of Principal Prepayments shall be made to any such Classes (the “Restricted

 SECTION 5.2    Allocation of Realized Losses.

  
 (a)    On or prior to each Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine the total amount
of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, with respect to the related Distribution Date based upon information aggregated by the Master Servicer from each of the Servicers.

 (i)    any Realized Loss (other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the Subordinate
Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation) until the respective Class Principal Amount of each

allocated to the Senior Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Principal Amounts, in each case immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. 
  
 (b)    The Class Principal Amount of the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical
Class designation shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution of principal and the
allocation of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date. 
  
 (c)    Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any reduction in the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.2(a) above shall be allocated among the
Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Principal Amounts. 
  
 (d)    Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any reduction in the Certificate Principal Amount of a Certificate, pursuant to Section 5.2(a) above shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate
Principal Amount thereof, immediately following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance with the definition of “Certificate Principal Amount.” 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 THE CERTIFICATES

  
 SECTION 6.1    The Certificates. 
  
 The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form,
in the minimum denominations, integral 

 
 61 

 multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the
applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement. 
  
 Subject to Section 10.2 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date or
(y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register. 
  
 The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates or did
not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof. 
  
 The
Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers. 
  
 SECTION 6.2    Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. 
  
 (a)    The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6 hereof, a Certificate Register for the
Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest. 
  
 At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee
shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

 
 62 

  
 No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required. 
  
 All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures. 
  
 (b)    No transfer of a Certificate
shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities
laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a
Class [Ÿ] Certificate and such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the
Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit G (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit H (the
“Investment Letter”) or Exhibit I (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other
information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule
144A. The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans
and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee and the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. 
  
 No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a Benefit Plan Affidavit in the form of Exhibit K to the effect
that (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA
or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, (ii) in the case of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate that has been the subject of an ERISA Qualifying Underwriting, if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an
“insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections
I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan or 

 
 63 

 arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any
other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the
Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be “plan assets” and subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, in the event the representation
letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an initial acquiror’s) acceptance of the ERISA Restricted Certificates.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect. 
  
 To the extent permitted under
applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.2(b) or for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

  
 (c)    The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in
this Section 6.2 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers. 
  
 (d)    Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its
Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of
holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners. 
  
 All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry 

 
 64 

 Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s
normal procedures. 
  
 If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository
is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise
the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of
Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery
of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive
Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect
to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any
party for any act or failure to act of the Depository. 
  
 (e)    Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such person is (A) not
a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”). 

 
 Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the
proposed transferee shall deliver to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee. In addition, the Trustee may
(but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is
an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee 

 
 65 

 thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Trustee and/or Securities Administrator making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the
Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 6.2(e), unless the Trustee shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified
Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and
all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding
Holder of such Residual Certificate. 
  
 If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.2(e), then upon receipt of written notice to the Trustee that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 6.2(e), the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Depositor and the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.2(e), or for the Trustee making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 6.2(e). 
  
 (f)    Each Holder of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, shall
be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section. 
  
 SECTION
6.3    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. 
  
 If (a) any mutilated
Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.3, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any 

 
 66 

 replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. 
  
 SECTION
6.4    Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 The Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
  
 SECTION 6.5    Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. 
  
 If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this
Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall,
within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trustee,
if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 
  
 SECTION
6.6    Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
  
 The Trustee shall maintain or cause to be
maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its office at [Ÿ] for such purposes. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

  
 SECTION 6.7    Limitation on Rights of Holders. 
  
 (a)    The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or this Trust
Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and
liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the
Trustee, Master Servicer or Servicer or the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute
the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under any 

 
 67 

 liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof. 

 
 (b)    No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall have any right by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of a Master Servicer Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Principal Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute
any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given such Trustee during such sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement
to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner
herein provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or
in equity. 
  
 SECTION 6.8    Acts of Holders of Certificates. 
  
 (a)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this
Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to
the Master Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
Each of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the others of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the others. 
  
 (b)    The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the
affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the 

 
 68 

 individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a
corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or
the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
  
 (c)    The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved
by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, nor the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
  
 (d)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future
Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Master
Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

 THE DEPOSITOR 
  
 SECTION 7.1    Liabilities of the Depositor. 
  
 The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor herein. 
  
 SECTION 7.2    Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor. 
  
 The Depositor shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and shall obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement. 
  
 Any Person into which the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Depositor hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 
  
 SECTION
7.3    Limitation on Liability of the Depositor and Others. 
  
 None of the Depositor or
any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors
in 

 
 69 

 judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor or any such Person against any breach of
representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties hereunder and which
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust
Fund and the Depositor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account on any Distribution Date.

 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING 
 OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER

  
 SECTION 8.1    Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicers’
Obligations. 
  
 (a)    The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of each Servicer, and shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause each Servicer to duly and punctually perform all of its duties and obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Servicing Agreement (including the obligation of each Servicer to maintain an errors and omissions policy and Fidelity Bond). Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the applicable Servicing Agreement) of which an
Authorized Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of such default. So long as
any such default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of such Servicer as provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii) waive any such default or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder. 

 
 (b)    Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the
Servicing Agreement, subject to Section 8.11 the Master Servicer shall either (i) with the consent of the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Servicing Agreement, appoint a successor servicer under the related Servicing Agreement or (ii) assume the obligations of the terminated Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed by
the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master Servicer). In connection with the appointment of any
successor servicer, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of any successor servicer (including the Master Servicer) be in
excess of that payable to the nominated Servicer. 
  
 (c)    The Master Servicer shall pay the
costs of such enforcement (including the termination of any Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i)
by the terminated Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such costs of enforcement, from
the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 8.2. 

 
 71 

  
 (d)    If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with
respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such Servicer. 
  
 (i)    Upon any termination of a Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to its Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the Master Servicer or any successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded the Servicer, which notice shall also specify the name and address of any such
successor servicer. 
  
 (ii)    Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall
consent to the assignment by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under the related Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

 
 (e)    The Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of any Servicer, when the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders of any of them, any and all
instruments of assignment and other comparable instrument with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any expenses incurred in connection with
the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer, with no right of reimbursement; provided, that if, as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS System,
it becomes necessary to remove any Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System and to arrange for the assignment of the related Mortgages to the Trustee, then any related expenses shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer. 

 
 SECTION 8.2    Compensation to the Master Servicer. 
  
 The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be paid by the Trust Fund, and may either retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account, (i)
its Master Servicing Fee with respect to each Distribution Date, (ii) amounts necessary to reimburse itself for any previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances, Servicer Advances and Non-recoverable Advances in accordance with the definition of
“Available Distribution Amount” and (iii) amounts representing assumption fees, late payment charges or other ancillary income not included in the definition of “Available Distribution Amount” and which are not required to be
remitted by the Servicers to the Trustee or deposited by the Trustee into the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 8.3    Merger or
Consolidation. 
  
 Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which 

 
 72 

 the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or resulting Person to the
Master Servicer shall be a Person that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000. 
  
 SECTION 8.4    Resignation of Master Servicer. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in Sections 8.3 and 8.5 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been appointed by the
Trustee and until such successor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.

  
 If, at any time, the Master Servicer resigns under this Section, or transfers or assigns its rights and
obligations under Section 8.5, then at such time as [Ÿ] also shall resign (and shall be entitled to resign) as Securities
Administrator under this Agreement. In such event, the obligations of each such party shall be assumed by the Trustee or such successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee (subject to the provisions of Section 8.2). 
  
 SECTION 8.5    Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer. 
  
 Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder
to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect
that such action shall not result in a downgrading of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and
carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are
transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fees and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer. Such successor Master
Servicer shall also pay the fees of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, as provided herein. 

 
 73 

  
 SECTION 8.6    Limitation on Liability of the Master
Servicer. 
  
 Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless
disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses,
costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account. 
  
 The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a result of such act or omissions and such damages and
expenses would not have been incurred but for the negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of the Servicers in this Agreement. 

 
 SECTION 8.7    Indemnification; Third-Party Claims. 
  
 The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any
and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result of the Master
Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee to indemnification under this Section
8.7, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
them in respect of such claim.

 (iii)    a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of
90 days; or 
  
 (iv)    the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

 (vi)    The Master Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose of all or substantially all of its
assets, or consolidate with or merge into another entity or shall permit another entity to consolidate or merge into it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the criteria for a successor servicer as specified in Section 8.3 hereof; or

  
 (vii)    If a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.2 hereof

not have been eliminated or cured within 30 days after the date on which written notice of such incorrect representation or warranty shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Securities 

 
 75 

 Administrator, or to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or 
  
 (viii)    A sale or pledge
of any of the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder or an assignment of this Agreement by the Master Servicer or a delegation of the rights or duties of the Master Servicer hereunder shall have occurred in any manner not otherwise permitted
hereunder and without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or 
  
 (ix)    After receipt of notice from the Trustee, any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advances required to be made hereunder. 
  
 If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. Any such notice to the Master Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency and the Depositor. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice,
all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee (or if another
successor Master Servicer shall at such time have already been appointed in accordance with Section 8.9, in such successor Master Servicer) pursuant to and under this Section (subject to Section 8.9), and, without limitation, the Trustee (or such
other successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 8.9) is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and
other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee (or such other successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 8.9) with
all documents and records in the Master Servicer’s possession requested by the Trustee (or such other successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 8.9) to enable the Trustee (or such other successor Master Servicer appointed
in accordance with Section 8.9) to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee (or such other successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 8.9) in effecting the termination of
the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the Trustee (or such other successor Master Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 8.9) for
administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it 

 
 76 

 under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.6,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 8.8, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such
notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION
8.9    Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 (a)    On and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein, and all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities contained in Section 8.1 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 8.1) by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities during the period following the termination of the Master Servicer reasonably necessary for the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder to assume the duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer or caused by the
Master Servicer’s failure to provide information, documents or funds (or any other items reasonably requested by the Trustee in order to succeed to the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder) required by
Section 8.8 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder and shall not result in any liability to the Trustee. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and
all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act
or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency and having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. 
  
 The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer to indemnify the Trustee pursuant
to Section 8.7, nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related
document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. All costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the master servicing
responsibilities shall be paid by the terminated Master Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs. 

 
 77 

  
 (b)    No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer as
such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. 
  
 (c)    In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member
of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Master Servicer as necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices,
documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Master
Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this subsection (c). The successor Master Servicer shall cause such
assignment to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded. 
  
 SECTION 8.10    Notification to Certificateholders. 
  
 (a)    Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.8 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.9 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. 
  
 (b)    Not later than the later of (i) 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default and (ii) five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such
occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. 

 
 78 

  
 SECTION 8.11    Master Servicer to Act as Servicer;
Appointment of Successor. 
  
 On and after the time any Servicer resigns or is terminated pursuant to the terms
of the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer either shall appoint a successor servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement or shall assume the obligations of such Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under the related Servicing
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on such Servicer by the terms and provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement and
applicable law. As compensation therefor, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the related Collection Account if the Servicer had continued to act
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer has become the successor to a Servicer, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the related Servicer pursuant to
the applicable Servicing Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer thereunder. Any successor to any Servicer shall be an institution which is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved
seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Master Servicer, an agreement accepting such delegation and
assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of such Servicer), with like effect as if originally named as a party to the related Servicing Agreement; and
provided further that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation shall not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation.
Pending appointment of a successor to the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee permitted to the related Servicer pursuant to
the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Master Servicer nor any other successor Servicer shall be
deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either
case caused by the failure of any Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it. 
  
 Any successor to any of the Servicers as Servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as Servicer maintain in force the policy or
policies that such Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to its Servicing Agreement. 

 
 79 

  
 SECTION 8.12    Notification to Certificateholders.

  
 (a)    Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency. 
  
 (b)    Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such
Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, unless such Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. 
  
 SECTION 8.13    Records; Confidentiality. 
  
 (a)    The Master Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed hereunder, which books of account and records shall be accessible
for inspection and copying by the Depositor (at the Depositor’s expense) upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours. 
  
 (b)    The Master Servicer hereby covenants to hold and treat all Confidential Information in confidence in accordance with this Section 9.13(b). The Master Servicer, including its subsidiaries,
affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or controlling persons, agrees that it (i) shall comply with any applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy and security of Confidential Information; (ii) shall not use Confidential
Information in any manner inconsistent with any applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy and security of such Confidential Information; (iii) shall not disclose Confidential Information to third parties without the prior written consent
of the Mortgagor other than for the purpose of taking permitted action under this Agreement or any other agreement; (iv) shall maintain adequate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized
access; and (v) shall promptly notify the Mortgagor if it has sufficient reason to believe that there has been any breach of the confidentiality requirements contained in this Section 9.13(b). Disclosure of any Confidential Information by the Master
Servicer at the request of its outside auditors or governmental regulatory authorities in connection with an examination of the Master Servicer by any such authority shall not constitute a breach of its obligations under this Section 9.13(b) and
shall not require the prior consent of the Mortgagor so long as such disclosure is not in violation of the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, as amended, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 or other applicable law. 
  
 SECTION 8.14    Annual Officer’s Certificate as to Compliance. 
  
 (a)    The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies on or before May 31 of each year,
commencing on May 31,             , an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer, certifying that with respect to the period ending December 31 of the prior year: (i)
such Servicing Officer has reviewed the activities of such Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and its performance under this Agreement, (ii) to the best of such Servicing Officer’s knowledge, based on such
review, such Master Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement in all 

 
 80 

 material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations,
specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to believe that any Servicer has failed to perform any
of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under its Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or
obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof. 
  
 (b)    Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the Master Servicer’s expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide
such copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such statement). 
  
 SECTION 8.15    Annual Independent Accountant’s Servicing Report. 
  
 If the Master Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal year, directly serviced any of the Mortgage Loans, then the Master Servicer at
its expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certificate public accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Seller on or before May 31 of each year, commencing on May 31,
             to the effect that, with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such firm has examined certain records and documents relating to the Master Servicer’s
performance of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for Freddie Mac or the Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer’s activities have been conducted in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no material items of noncompliance except for (i) such
exceptions as such firm believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced
by Freddie Mac requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the expense of the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such
copies. If such report discloses exceptions that are material, the Master Servicer shall advise the Trustee whether such exceptions have been or are susceptible of cure, and will take prompt action to do so.

Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed
in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder; 
  
 (b)    the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent

to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement.

it; 
  
 (g)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant

hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity

 The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor

 SECTION 9.5    Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. 
  
 The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution
Date. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (i) incurred in connection with
any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates or (c) in connection with the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in any tax or
information return prepared by the Servicer. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer covenants and agrees, except as
otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not

engage such persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or
reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar, Tax Matters Person or Paying Agent hereunder or for any other expenses. 

 
 84 

  
 SECTION 9.6    Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

  
 The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the
laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and
with a credit rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced
in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section
9.6 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.6, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.7 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships
with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer. 

 
 SECTION 9.7    Resignation and Removal of Trustee. 
  
 The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the
Depositor, the Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than sixty (60) days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 9.8, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
9.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 9.6. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. 
  
 If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the
Depositor or the Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Servicer and one copy
to the successor trustee. 
  
 The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any
time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor
Trustee to the Servicer, one complete set 

 
 85 

  
 to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of
the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the successor trustee. 
  
 Any resignation or removal of the
Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.7 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 9.8 hereof. 
  
 SECTION 9.8    Successor Trustee. 
  
 Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.7 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Servicer an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations. 
  
 No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.8 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 9.6 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates. 
  
 Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 9.8, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such
notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor. 
  
 SECTION 9.9    Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. 
  
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.6 hereof without the execution or
filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 
  
 SECTION 9.10    Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such 

 
 86 

  
 Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the
Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.6 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 9.8. 
  
 Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: 
  
 (a)    To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 9.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this
Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; 
  
 (b)    No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such
separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; 
  
 (c)    The Trustee may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and 
  
 (d)    The
Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee. 
  
 Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as effectively as if
given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article . Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be
vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Depositor. 

 
 87 

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

 SECTION 10.1    Termination upon Liquidation
or Purchase of all Mortgage Loans. 
  
 Subject to Section 10.3, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Seller of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at the price equal
to the sum of (i) 100% of the Scheduled Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan plus one month’s accrued interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate and (ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined
by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Seller at the expense of the Seller and (y) the Scheduled Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Monthly Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of
all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement (any such event, an “Optional Termination”). In no event shall the trusts created hereby
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof and (ii) the
Latest Possible Maturity Date. The right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten
percent of the sum of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans. If the Seller elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 10.1, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the
affected Certificateholders, the Seller shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Seller intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. 
  
 SECTION 10.2    Final Distribution on the Certificates. 
  

If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the
funds in the Distribution Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee shall promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. 
  
 Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and 

 
 88 

  
 cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier
than the fifteenth (15th) day and no later than the tenth (10th) day of the month immediately preceding the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which
final distribution on the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and
surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Servicer
shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. 
  
 Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 5.1, in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to the Certificate Principal Amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon. 
  
 In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the above mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six (6) months after the second
notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto. 
  
 SECTION 10.3    Additional Termination Requirements. 
  
 (a)    In the event the Seller exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 10.1, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been
supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Seller, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.3 shall not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any
REMIC as defined in section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding: 
  
 (i)  Within ninety (90) days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in the notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 10.2, the
Master Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee, at the expense of the “tax matters person,” shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of section 860F(a)(4) of the Code which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which
opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Tax Matters Person), meets the requirements of a qualified liquidation; 

 
 89 

  
 (ii)    Within ninety (90) days after the
time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Seller for cash in accordance with Section 10.1; 
  
 (iii)    On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be made final distributions of
principal and interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 10.2 and, after payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates

 (iv)    In no event may the final payment on the Certificates or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual
Certificates be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted. 
  
 (b)    The Trustee as agent for any REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Master Servicer, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to
in Section 10.3(a)(i) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Seller. 
  
 (c)    By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Master Servicer to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation.

 REMIC ADMINISTRATION 
  
 SECTION 11.1    REMIC Administration.

  
 (a)    The [Trustee/Securities Administrator] to cause the REMIC elections as set forth in
the Preliminary Statement shall be made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual
interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. 
  
 (b)    The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 86OG(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.86OG-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible
Maturity Date. 
  
 (c)    The [Trustee/Securities Administrator] shall represent the Trust Fund
in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The [Trustee/Securities Administrator] shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of
each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the
extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable
to the negligence or willful misconduct 

 
 90 

  
 of the [Trustee/Securities Administrator] in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as
tax return preparer). 
  
 (d)    The [Securities Administrator shall prepare, and the Trustee]
shall sign and file, [as instructed by the Securities Administrator], all of each REMIC’s federal and appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns
shall be borne by the [Trustee/Securities Administrator]. 
  
 (e)    The [Trustee/Securities
Administrator] or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal
Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the [Trustee/Securities Administrator] shall provide, upon receipt of additional reasonable
compensation, (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury
Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Trustee such information as is necessary for the Trustee to provide to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the
Code or REMIC Provisions. 
  
 (f)    The Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or
maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be
taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax.
In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult
with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take
any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no Adverse
REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the written consent of the
Residual Certificateholders. 

 
 91 

  
 (g)    Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when
due any and all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future
amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Collection Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular
interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be. 
  
 (h)    The [Trustee/Securities
Administrator] shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. 
  
 (i)    No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. 
  
 (j)     Neither the [Trustee/Securities Administrator] nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or
other compensation for services. 
  
 (k)    The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall
treat the                      as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the
holders of the Only Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC. 
  
 (l)    “The
Class [R        ] Holder shall act as “tax matters person” with respect to the
[                    ] REMIC and shall act as agent for the Class          Certificateholder as
“tax matters person” with respect to the [                ] REMIC and the Securities Administrator shall act as agent for the Class
[R        ] Holder in such roles, unless and until another party is so designated by the Class [R        ] Holder.” 
  
 SECTION 11.2    Prohibited Transactions and Activities. 
  

Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i)
the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article          of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II
of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any
REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely
the status of any such REMIC as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual Certificate as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the
assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any such REMIC to be subject to any tax including a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions. 

 
 92 

  
 SECTION 11.3    Indemnification with Respect to Prohibited
Transactions or Loss of REMIC Status. 
  
 In the event that a REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status
as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the [Trustee/Securities Administrator] of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the [Trustee/Securities Administrator] shall indemnify the Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”)
resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the [Trustee/Securities Administrator] shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the Residual
Certificate, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing parties on which the [Trustee/Securities Administrator] has relied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the [Trustee/Securities
Administrator] have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or under any Servicing Agreement or under
any Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the [Trustee/Securities Administrator] of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or
consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or
withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself shall not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and shall represent a
determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to
modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC

 SECTION 12.6    Governing Law.

REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 
  
 SECTION
12.7    Intention of Parties. 
  
 It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the (i) Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor and (ii) the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that
such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Seller or Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any other reason this Agreement is
held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement (within the meaning of the UCC of the State of New York) with respect to all such assets and security interests
and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (i) by the Seller to the Depositor or (ii) by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. 
  
 The Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange
for filing any UCC continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. 
  
 SECTION 12.8    Notices. 
  
 (a)    The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge: 
  
 (i)    Any material change or amendment to this Agreement; 
  
 (ii)    The occurrence of any Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default that has not been
cured; 

 
 96 

  
 (iii)    The resignation or termination of
any Servicer or the Trustee and the appointment of any successor; 
  
 (iv)    The
repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Sale Agreement or any of the Purchase Agreements; and 
  
 (v)    The final payment to Certificateholders. 
  
 In addition, the Trustee shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency copies of the following: 
  
 (i)    Each report to Certificateholders described in Section 4.6; 
  
 (ii)    Each annual statement as to compliance that it receives from the Servicer and/or the Master Servicer; and 
  
 (iii)    Each annual independent public accountants’ servicing report that it receives from the Servicer and/or the Master
Servicer. 
  
 (b)    All directions, demands and notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by first class mail, by courier or by facsimile transmission to 
  
 (i)    in the case of the Depositor, E*TRADE Mortgage Backed Securities Corporation, [Ÿ],
facsimile number: [Ÿ], Attention: [Ÿ]; 
  
 (ii)    in the case of the
Seller, E*TRADE Bank, [Ÿ], facsimile number: [Ÿ], Attention: [Ÿ] or such other address as may be hereafter furnished to the
Depositor and the Trustee by the Seller in writing; 
  
 (iii)    in the case of
the Trustee, [Ÿ], [Address], facsimile number: [Ÿ], Attention: [Ÿ], or such other address as the Trustee may hereafter furnish to
the Depositor or the Master Servicer; and 
  
 (iv)    in the case of the Rating
Agencies, the address specified therefor in the definition corresponding to the name of such Rating Agency. Notices to Certificateholders shall be deemed given when mailed, first class postage prepaid, to their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register. 
  
 SECTION 12.9    Severability of Provisions. 

 
 If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held
invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions
of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof. 

 
 97 

  
 SECTION 12.10    Indulgences; No Waivers.

  
 Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any
waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is
signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver. 
  
 SECTION 12.11    Headings Not To

they shall not be used in the interpretation hereof.

 No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained
in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action
taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof. 
  
 No Certificateholder shall have any
right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee
a written notice of a Master Servicer Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made
written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any
provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the 

 
 98 

  
 protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 12.12, each and every Certificateholder and
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 
  
 SECTION
12.13    Counterparts. 
  
 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 SECTION 12.14    No Petitions. 
  
 The Trustee and the Master Servicer, by
entering into this Agreement, hereby covenant and agree that they shall not at any time institute against the Depositor, or join in any institution against 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 this Agreement or any of the documents entered into by the Depositor in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 12.15    Certificates Fully Paid and
Nonassessable. 
  
 It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally liable
for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.

of a Majority of Interest of each Class of Certificates (and in certain circumstances a higher percentage of such Voting Rights as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). 

 
 -3-

upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer or exchange hereof or in lieu herefor, regardless of whether notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

certificates held by the Depository or its nominee and beneficial interests will be held by Beneficial Owners through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or its nominee in minimum denominations of $[ Ÿ ] and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. 
  
 As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, at the option of the Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon the surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. 
  

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

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the 

 
 -4- 

  
 Seller may make an Optional Termination or cause an Optional Termination to be made at such time as the
Pool Scheduled Principal Balance aggregates to less than ten percent of the sum of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans. 
  
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Certificate shall not represent entitlement to any benefit under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. 
  
 THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL
BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
  
 The Trustee has executed
this Certificate on behalf of the Trust not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trustee shall be liable hereunder only in respect of the assets of the Trust.

James’s, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller may make an Optional Termination or cause an Optional Termination to be made at such time as
the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance aggregates to less than ten percent of the sum of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

transfer of a Class X Certificate shall be made unless and until the prospective transferee provides the Servicer and the Trustee with a properly executed and completed Benefit Plan Affidavit (and a Benefit Plan Opinion, if required pursuant to the
Benefit Plan Affidavit), which Affidavit (and Opinion, if required) shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of a Class X
Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan Investor without delivery of a Benefit Plan Affidavit and, if required, a Benefit Plan Opinion, shall be null and void.

Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans.

Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not represent entitlement to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof. The Certificates are issued in [ Ÿ ] classes as specifically
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Class R Certificates are sometimes referred to as the “Residual Certificates.” The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

  
 The Class R Certificates will be subordinated to the Certificates of all other Classes to the extent provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 
  
 The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Assets, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account and related accounts shall be made from time to
time for purposes other than distributions to Holders, such purposes including reimbursement of Advances made by the Servicer, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Assets and administration of the Trust. 
  
 All distributions made on any Certificate pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be made by or on behalf of the Trustee on
each Distribution Date to the Holder of such Certificate as of the related Record Date (i) by check mailed to such Holder at its address reflected in the Certificate Register as of the related Record Date or (ii) if such Holder is the Holder of
Certificates of this Class evidencing Percentage Interests of 50% or greater, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written request of such Holder accompanied by the
appropriate wiring instructions at or before the Closing Date or, in the case of any wire instructions delivered after the Closing Date, at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date. A fee may be charged by the Trustee to a Holder of
Certificates for any distribution made to such Holder by wire transfer. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in the final distribution notice to Certificateholders.

 An election will be made to treat certain of the assets assigned to the Trust as
three separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Assuming that the elections are made properly and that certain qualification requirements
concerning the Assets and the Certificates are met, the Holder of this Certificate will be treated for federal income tax purposes as the beneficial owner of a “residual interest” in each of the REMICs. Accordingly, the Holder of this
Class R Certificate will be taxed on its pro rata share of each REMIC’s taxable income or net loss. The requirement that the Holder of this Class R Certificate report its pro rata share of such income or loss will continue until
there are no Certificates of any Class outstanding. 
  
 Pursuant to (and subject to the limitations set forth in) the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer or one of its affiliates, as agent of the REMIC (the “Tax Matters Person” or “TMP”), will provide each Holder of a Class R Certificate with information sufficient to enable such
Holder to prepare (i) its federal income tax and information returns and (ii) any reports required by the Code regarding the Certificates, except where such information is provided to each such Holder by the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. As the Holder of a residual interest in the REMICs, the Holder of a Class R Certificate will have continuing administrative rights and obligations generally similar to those of a partner with respect to its partnership. Such
rights and obligations principally concern the REMICs’ federal income tax and information returns and the representation of the REMICs in administrative or judicial proceedings involving the Internal Revenue Service. The TMP, however, will act
on behalf of the Holders of the Class R Certificates as the REMICs’ representative for such proceedings. The REMICs’ federal tax and information returns will be prepared by the TMP, and signed and filed by the Trustee. Pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if the TMP is unable for any reason to fulfill its duties as TMP, then the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates, without compensation, shall become the successor TMP for the REMICs;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Trustee be required to act as TMP (regardless of whether the Trustee is acting as successor Servicer). 
  
 By accepting this Certificate, the Holder of this Certificate agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and, in particular, agrees that it shall (i) take any
action required by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder in order to create or maintain the REMIC status of each REMIC and (ii) refrain from taking any action that could endanger such status. 
  
 The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the
rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Holders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the Voting Rights of each Class affected by the proposed amendment (and in certain circumstances a higher percentage of such Voting Rights as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). Any
such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer or exchange hereof or in lieu herefor, regardless of
whether notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other offices
or agencies appointed by the Trustee for that purpose or such other locations, if any, provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form attached hereto or other written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
  
 The Certificates of this Class are
issuable in fully-registered, certificated form without coupons in minimum Percentage Interests of 10% and integral multiples thereof. 
  
 As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. 
  
 Upon the request of any registered Holder of this Class R
Certificate, the Trustee shall issue to such Holder three separately transferable, certificated and fully registered Certificates (a Class R-1 Certificate, a Class R-2 Certificate and a Class R-3 Certificate), in substantially the forms of
Exhibit R-[Ÿ], Exhibit R-[Ÿ] and Exhibit R-[Ÿ] attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that this Class R Certificate is exchanged for separately transferable Class R-1, Class R-2 and Class R-3 Certificates: (1) the Class R-1 Certificates will be
designated as the residual interest in the Issuing REMIC, (2) the Class R-2 Certificates will be designated as the residual interest in the Intermediate REMIC, (3) the Class R-3 Certificates will be designated as the residual interest in the Pooling
REMIC, and (4) the restrictions on the transfer of a Residual Certificate provided herein and in the Standard Terms will apply to each of the Class R-1, the R-2 and the Class R-3 Certificates. 
  

No transfer of any Class R Certificates shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification under the
Act and applicable state securities laws, the Trustee shall not register such transfer unless and until the prospective transferee provides the Trustee with a Transferee Agreement or a Rule 144A Agreement certifying to facts which, if true, would
mean that the proposed transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer. Forms of Transferee Agreements and Rule 144A Agreements are attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, if the proposed transferee delivers a Rule 144A Agreement
that does not certify to facts that, if true, would mean that the proposed transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (i) the Servicer and the Trustee shall require that the transferor and transferee certify as to the factual basis for the
registration or qualification exemption relied upon and (ii) if such transfer is made within three years after the acquisition thereof by a non-Affiliate of the Depositor, then the Depositor, the 

 
 -6- 

 Master Servicer or the Trustee may also require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration or qualification under
the Act and applicable state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify any of the Class R Certificates under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without such registration or
qualification. Any such Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from registration under
the Act and all applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. 
  
 Further, no transfer of a Class R Certificate shall be made unless and until the prospective transferee provides the Servicer and the Trustee with a properly executed and completed Benefit Plan Affidavit (and a Benefit Plan Opinion,
if required pursuant to the Benefit Plan Affidavit), which Affidavit (and Opinion, if required) shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any purported
transfer of a Class R Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan Investor without delivery of a Benefit Plan Opinion shall be null and void. 
  
 In addition, the Trustee shall not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) without first obtaining the written consent of the Servicer. The Servicer will not give such
consent to any proposed transfer or sale to any investor that the Servicer knows to be a Disqualified Organization. As prerequisites to the Servicer’s consent to any transfer of a Class R Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein), the
proposed transferee thereof must provide the Servicer with (i) a Residual Transferee Agreement and (ii) (A) if the proposed transferee is a Non-U.S. Person, an affidavit of the proposed transferee in substantially the form attached as Exhibit
[Ÿ] to Exhibit [Ÿ] to the Standard Terms and a certificate of the transferor stating whether the Class R Certificate has “tax avoidance potential” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-3(a)(2) or (B) if the proposed transferee is a U.S. Person, an affidavit of the proposed transferee in substantially the form attached as Exhibit [Ÿ] to Exhibit [Ÿ] to the Standard Terms.
Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the prerequisites described above, the Servicer may withhold its consent to a transfer, but only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of (i) disqualification of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) the imposition of a
tax upon any REMIC. In addition, the Servicer shall not give its consent to the transfer of less than an entire interest in a Class R Certificate unless (A) the interest transferred is an undivided interest or (B) the transferor or the transferee
provides the Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel obtained at its own expense that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any REMIC. Any attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null and void and shall not
be recognized by the Trustee. 
  
 If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by any REMIC as a result of the transfer of a
Class R Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein) in violation of the restrictions set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee (or the Paying Agent), upon notification from the Master Servicer, shall pay such tax
or reporting cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of the Class R Certificate (or beneficial interest therein). In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to seek repayment of such

 
 -7- 

 amounts from the Depositor, the Trustee (or the Paying Agent), the Master Servicer, the Trust, any REMIC or any other Holders, and none of such
parties shall have any liability for payment of any such tax or reporting cost. 
  
 The Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Seller of all Mortgage Loans (and REO
Properties) pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 10.1 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts to be distributed to them. In no event shall the Trust continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of the St. James’s, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Seller may make an Optional Termination or cause an Optional Termination to be made at such time as the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance aggregates to less than ten percent of the sum of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the
Mortgage Loans. 
  
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar,
by manual signature, this Certificate shall not represent entitlement to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. 
  
 THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
  

This Class R Certificate is a security governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. 
  
 The Trustee has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
Trustee shall be liable hereunder only in respect of the assets of the Trust.

 (a)  The Transferee is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Transferee is organized, is authorized to invest in the Purchased Securities and to enter into this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

  
 (b)  The Transferee is acquiring the Purchased Securities for its own account as principal and not with
a view to the distribution of the Purchased Securities, in whole or in part, in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). 
  
 (c)  The Transferee is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Act. 
  
 (d)  The Transferee has knowledge in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Purchased Securities; the 

 
 1 

  
 Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Purchased Securities and can afford a complete loss of such investment; 
  
 (e)    The Transferee confirms that the Depositor has made available to the Transferee the opportunity
to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Depositor concerning the Depositor, the Trust, the purchase by the Transferee of the Purchased Securities and all matters relating thereto, and to obtain additional information relating thereto that
the Depositor possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. 
  
 2.    Covenants.    The Transferee covenants: 
  
 (a)    The Transferee will not make a public offering of the Purchased Securities, and will not reoffer or resell the Purchased Securities in a manner that would render the issuance and sale of the Purchased
Securities, whether considered together with the resale or otherwise, a violation of the Act, or any state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or require registration pursuant thereto; 
  
 (b)    The Transferee agrees that, in its capacity as holder of the Purchased Securities, it will assert no claim or interest in the
Mortgage Assets by reason of owning the Purchased Securities other than with respect to amounts that may be properly and actually payable to the Transferee pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Master Servicing Agreement and the securities; and

  
 (c)    If applicable, the Transferee will comply in all material respects
with respect to the Purchased Securities with applicable regulatory guidelines relating to the ownership of mortgage derivative products. 
  
 3.    Transfer Restrictions. 
  
 (a)    The Transferee understands that the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the Act or registered or qualified under any state securities laws and that no transfer may be made unless the
Purchased Securities are registered under the Act and under applicable state law or unless an exemption from such registration is available. If so requested by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, the Transferee and the transferor shall certify to
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee as to the factual basis for the registration or qualification exemption relied upon. The Transferee further understands that neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor the Trust is
under any obligation to register the Purchased Securities or make an exemption from such registration available. 
  
 (b)    In the event that the transfer is to be made within three years of the date the Purchased Securities were acquired by a non-Affiliate of the Depositor from the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee may require an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee) that such transfer is not required to be registered under the Act or state securities laws.

 
 2 

  
 (c)  Any Securityholder desiring to effect a transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt under federal or applicable state securities laws. 
  
 (d)  The transfer of the Securities may be subject to additional restrictions, as set forth in Section 6.2 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. 
  
 All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings
assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of                              1,
        , among E*TRADE Mortgage Backed Securities Corporation, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, pursuant to which the Purchased Securities were issued.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 In connection
with the purchase on the date hereof of the captioned securities (the “Purchased Certificates”), the undersigned (the “Transferee”) hereby certifies and covenants to the transferor, E*TRADE Mortgage Backed Securities Corporation,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust as follows: 
  
 1.    The Transferee is a “qualified institutional
buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and has completed the form of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex A1 (if
the Transferee is not a registered investment company) or Annex A2 (if the Transferee is a registered investment company). The Transferee is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A. 
  
 2.    The Transferee understands that the Purchased Certificates have not been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or qualified under
any state securities laws and that no transfer may be made unless the Purchased Certificates are registered under the 1933 Act and under applicable state law or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Transferee further
understands that neither E*TRADE Mortgage Backed Securities Corporation, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor the Trust is under any obligation to register the Purchased Certificates or make an exemption from such registration available.

  
 3.    The Transferee is acquiring the Purchased Certificates for its own account or for the account of a
“qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A, a “QIB”), and understands that such Purchased Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only (a) to a person reasonably believed to be such a QIB that purchases
for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (b) pursuant to another exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and under applicable state
securities laws. In addition, such transfer may be subject to additional restrictions, as set forth in Section 6.2 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. By its execution of this agreement, the Transferee agrees that it will not resell, pledge or
transfer any of the Purchased Certificates to anyone otherwise than in strict compliance with Rule 144A, or 

 
 1 

 pursuant to another exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and all applicable state securities laws, and in strict compliance with the
transfer restrictions set forth in Section 6.2 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferee will not attempt to transfer any or all of the Purchased Certificates pursuant to Rule 144A unless the Transferee offers and sells such
Certificates only to QIBs or to offerees or purchasers that the Transferee and any person acting on behalf of the Transferee reasonably believe (as described in paragraph (d)(l) of Rule 144A) is a QIB. 
  
 4.    The Transferee has been furnished with all information that it requested regarding (a) the Purchased Certificates and distributions
thereon and (b) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to below. 
  
 5.    If applicable, the Transferee has
complied, will comply in all material respects with applicable regulatory guidelines relating to the ownership of mortgage derivative products. 
  
 All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of

Purchased Certificates were issued.

authorized representative as of the day and year first above written.

2.    The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), because (a) the Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis at least $             in securities [Note to reviewer - the

	Broker-dealer.    The Transferee is a dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Certificates Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“1934 Act”). 
 

  

	 	    
	 
	Insurance Company.    The Transferee is an insurance company as defined in Section 2(13) of the 1933 Act, whose primary and predominant
business activity is the writing of insurance or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance companies and which is subject to supervision by the insurance commissioner or a similar official or agency of a state, territory or the District of

	Other.    The Transferee qualifies as a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A on the basis of facts other than
those listed in any of the entries above. If this response is marked, the Transferee must certify on additional pages, to be attached to this certification, to facts that satisfy the Servicer that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional

 3.    The term “securities” as used herein does

such securities to the Transferee and did not include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee,
but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s

 5.    The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the

 2 

  
 If the answer to the foregoing question is “NO”, the Transferee agrees that, in connection
with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the time is a
“qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from
such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A. 
  
 7.    The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Purchased Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as
provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

 Annex A2 to Exhibit I 
  
 REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES 
  
 1.    As
indicated below, the undersigned is the President, Chief Financial Officer or Senior Vice President of the entity purchasing the Purchased Certificates (the “Transferee”) or, if the Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies
(as defined in paragraph 3 below), is an officer of the related investment adviser (the “Adviser”). 
  
 2.    The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”),
because (a) the Transferee is an investment company (a “Registered Investment Company”) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and (b) as marked below, the Transferee alone, or the
Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, owned at least $             [Note to reviewer - the amount in the previous blank must be at least $100,000,000] in securities
(other than the excluded securities referred to in paragraph 4 below) as of
                             [specify a date on or since the end of the Transferee’s most
recently ended fiscal year]. For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the cost of such securities to the Transferee or the Transferee’s Family of
Investment Companies was used. 
  

	 	    
	 
	The Transferee owned $             in securities (other than the excluded securities referred
to in paragraph 4 below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A). 
 

  

	 	    
	 
	The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate
$             in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to in paragraph 4 below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being
calculated in accordance with Rule 144A). 
 

  
 3.    The term “Family of Investment
Companies” as used herein means two or more Registered Investment Companies except for a unit investment trust whose assets consist solely of shares of one or more Registered Investment Companies (provided that each series of a “series
company,” as defined in Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act, shall be deemed to be a separate investment company) that have the same investment adviser (or, in the case of a unit investment trust, the same depositor) or investment advisers (or
depositors) that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority-owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority-owned subsidiary of the other). 
  
 4.    The term “securities” as used herein does not include (a) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee’s Family
of Investment Companies, (b) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (c) loan participations, (d) repurchase agreements, (e) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (f) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

  
 5.    The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the parties to which this certification is
being made are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein 

 
 1 

  
 because one or more sales to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A. In addition, the
Transferee will only purchase for the Transferee’s own account. 
  
 6.    The undersigned will notify the parties
to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice, the Transferee’s purchase of the Purchased Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as
of the date of such purchase. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this certificate to be executed by its duly authorized
representative this      of                             ,

 Under penalties of perjury, I, the undersigned, declare that, to
the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct, and complete. 
  
 1.    That I am a duly authorized officer of [Organization], a [State] corporation (the “Purchaser”), whose taxpayer identification number is
[            ], and on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit. 
  
 2.    That the Purchaser is acquiring any of the Private Certificates, each representing an interest in the Trust Fund, for certain
assets of which one or more real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) elections are to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
  
 3.    The Purchaser either: 
  
 (i)    is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975
of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer; 
  
 (ii)    is an insurance company and (A) the Purchaser is acquiring the ERISA Restricted Certificates with funds held in an
“insurance company general account” (as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”), as published in 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995)) and (B) and all of the requirements of PTCE 95-60
are met, including the requirement that an ERISA Qualifying Underwriting applies, to exempt the acquisition and holding of the Certificates and the transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of the Trust Fund from the
prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code; or 
  
 (iii)    has provided
an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the Transferee’s expense, satisfactory to
[                            ]. An Opinion of Counsel with respect to this Benefit Plan Affidavit is
an opinion of counsel to the effect that the proposed transfer will not (a) cause the assets of the Trust Fund to be regarded as 

  
 Plan Assets, (b) give rise to a fiduciary duty under ERISA, on the part of
[                        ], the Servicer, or the Trustee, or (c) be treated as, or result in, a prohibited transaction

              ) ss.: 
 COUNTY OF
                             ) 
  
 Under penalties of perjury, I, the undersigned declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete:

  
 1.    I am a duly authorized officer of
            , a                  corporation (the “Transferee”), on behalf of which I
have the authority to make this affidavit. 
  
 2.    The Transferee is acquiring all or a portion
of the securities (the “Residual Certificates”), which represent the residual interests in              real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”)
for which elections are to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
  
 3.    The Transferee is a (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, including
an entity treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes (iii) a partnership (unless Treasury regulations are adopted that provide otherwise) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District
of Columbia, including an entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, none of the interests in which are owned, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediate entities, by a person that is a Non-U.S. Person, (iv) an
estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes, regardless of its source, (v) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such
trust and one or more United States fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust (or to the extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that are eligible to
be treated as United States persons), or (vi) a foreign person who would be subject to United States taxation on a net basis on income derived from a Certificate. 

 

  
 4.    The Transferee is a not a “Disqualified
Organization” (as defined below), and the Transferee is not acquiring a Residual Certificate for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership to, a Disqualified
Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality
of any of the foregoing; (ii) any organization (other than a farmer’s cooperative as defined in Section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from federal income taxation (including taxation under the unrelated business taxable income provisions of
the Code); (iii) any rural telephone or electrical service cooperative described in § 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code; (iv) any foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of a U.S. Person; or
(v) any other entity so designated by Treasury rulings or regulations promulgated or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof. In addition, a corporation will not be treated as an instrumentality of the United States or of any state or political
subdivision thereof if all of its activities are subject to tax and, with the exception of Freddie Mac, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit. 
  
 5.    The Transferee agrees to consent to any amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) that shall be deemed necessary by
             (upon advice of counsel to             ) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that no
interest in a Residual Certificate will be owned directly or indirectly by a Disqualified Organization. 
  
 6.    The Transferee acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any
interest in any Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization. 
  
 Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of                 , among

	E*TRADE MBSC TRUST 200_-_ MORTGAGE-BACKED CERTIFICATES SERIES 200_-_, Class R, representing a
                         Percentage Interest 
 

  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 The undersigned (the “Transferee”) proposes to purchase all or some of the captioned Certificates (together with any Class R-1 Certificate, Class R-2 Certificate and/or Class R-3 Certificate for which any such Certificates
may be exchanged, the “Residual Certificates”), issued by the Trust Fund established pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement dated as of
                                     (the
“Agreement”), among. In doing so the Transferee hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows: 
  
 Section
1.    Definitions.    Each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Agreement or in the Residual Transfer Affidavit. 

 
 Section 2.    Representations and Warranties of the Transferee.    In
connection with the proposed transfer of the Residual Certificates, the Transferee represents and warrants to
                             , the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund as follows: 

 
 (a)    The Transferee has knowledge in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Residual Certificates; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Residual Certificates and can afford a complete loss of such investment. 
  
 (b)    The Transferee represents that (i) it understands that the Residual Certificates represent for federal income tax purposes the “residual interest” in each of three real estate mortgage investment
conduits (“REMICs”) and that, as the holder of the Residual Certificates, it will be required to take into account, in determining its taxable income, its pro rata share of the 

 taxable income of each such REMIC, (ii) it understands that it may incur federal income tax liabilities with respect to the Residual
Certificates in excess of any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates and (iii) it has historically paid its debts as they became due and has the financial wherewithal and intends to continue to pay its debts as they come due in the
future, including any tax imposed on the income that it derives from the Residual Certificates as such taxes become due. 
  
 (c)    The Transferee confirms that                             
has made available to the Transferee the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from,                      concerning
                    , the Trust Fund, the purchase by the Transferee of the Residual Certificates and all matters relating thereto, and to
obtain additional information relating thereto that                      possesses or can acquire unreasonable effort or expense.

  
 Section 3.    Covenants.    The Transferee covenants:

  
 (a)    The Transferee agrees that, in its capacity as a holder of the Residual Certificates,
it will assert no claim or interest in the Mortgage Loans or Financial Assets by reason of owning the Residual Certificates other than with respect to amounts that may be properly and actually payable to the Transferee pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement and the Certificates. 
  
 (b)    If applicable, the Transferee will comply with respect
to the Residual Certificates in all material respects with applicable regulatory guidelines relating to the ownership of mortgage derivative products. 
  
 (c)    Upon notice thereof, the Transferee agrees to any future amendment to the provisions of the Agreement relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates (or any interest
therein) that counsel to                     , the Servicer or the Trust Fund may deem necessary to ensure that any such transfer will not
result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund. 
  
 (d)    The Transferee hereby
designates the Securities Administrator or an affiliate thereof, as its agent, to be and perform the functions of each REMIC’s tax matters person (“TMP”). 
  
 (e)    The Transferee hereby agrees that the parties designated in the Agreementor an affiliate thereof will (i) supervise or engage in any action
necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each REMIC as a REMIC and (ii) employ on a reasonable basis counsel, accountants, and professional assistance to aid in the preparation of tax returns or the performance of the above. 

 
 (f)    The Transferee hereby agrees to cooperate with the TMP to take any action required of it by the
REMIC Provisions in order to create or maintain the REMIC status of each REMIC. 
  
 (g)    The
Transferee hereby agrees that it will not take any action that could endanger the REMIC status of each related REMIC or result in the imposition of tax on such REMIC unless counsel for, or acceptable to, the TMP has provided an opinion that such
action will not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the imposition of such tax, as applicable. 

  
 (h)    The Transferee hereby agrees that it will take no
action to question or invalidate the interest of the Trust Fund in the Mortgage Loans or Financial Assets or seek or maintain any claim or interest in the Mortgage Loans or Financial Assets having a priority over the interest of the Trust Fund in
the Mortgage Loans or Financial Assets. 
  
 (i)    The Transferee understands that U.S.
Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) regulations, or other administrative guidance issued by the Treasury, may effectively prohibit the transfer of the Residual Certificates to foreign persons. 
  
 (j)    The Transferee hereby agrees that it shall pay any tax or reporting costs borne by any REMIC as a result of its
purchase of a Residual Certificate or any beneficial interest therein in violation of the restrictions on transfer contained in the Agreement to the extent such tax or reporting costs are not paid by the transferor or by the Trustee out of amounts
that otherwise would have been paid to the Transferee. 
  
 (k)    The Transferee hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless                 , the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Fund and each other holder of a Residual Certificate from and against any tax
liabilities or reporting costs arising from its violation of the restrictions on transfer contained in the Agreement or its breach of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants contained herein. 
  
 Section 4.    Additional Transfer Restrictions. 
  

(a)     No transfer of the Residual Certificates shall be made unless the Trustee and
                 has consented in writing to such transfer. No Residual Certificate may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. The Trustee and
                 will not consent to any proposed transfer (i) to any investor that it knows is a Disqualified Organization, or (ii) if the transfer involves less
than an entire interest in a Residual Certificate, unless (A) the interest transferred is an undivided interest or (B) the transferor or the transferee provides the Trustee and the
                 with an Opinion of Counsel obtained at its own expense to the effect that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any REMIC. The
Trustee’s and the                             ’s consent to any transfer is further
conditioned upon the                         ’s receipt from the proposed transferee of (x) this Residual Transferee
Agreement, (y) a Benefit Plan Affidavit, and (z) a Residual Transfer Affidavit and a certificate of the transferor stating whether the Class R Certificate has “tax avoidance potential” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-3(a)(2) if the Transferee is a Non-U.S. Person. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the prerequisites described above, the Trustee may withhold its consent to, or the Trustee may refuse to recognize, a transfer of a Residual Certificate, but
only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification of any REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. Any attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null and void and shall not be recognized
by the Trustee. 
  
 (b)    The Transferee acknowledges that, if a tax or a reporting cost is
borne by any REMIC as a result of the transfer of the Residual Certificates or any beneficial interest therein in violation of the restrictions referenced herein, the transferor shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or cost is not so paid, the
Trustee, upon notification from the Servicer, shall pay such tax or reporting cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of such 

 Residual Certificates. In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to seek repayment of such amounts from
                    , the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Fund, any REMIC or the Holders of any other Certificates, and none of such parties
shall have any liability for payment of any such tax or reporting cost. In the event that a Residual Certificate is transferred to a Disqualified Organization, the Servicer shall make available, or cause to be made available, the information
necessary for the computation of the excise tax imposed under section 860E(e) of the Code. 
  
 Section
5.    Acknowledgments. 
  
 (a)    The Transferee acknowledges that
if any United States federal income tax is due at the time a Non-U.S. Person transfers a Residual Certificate, the Trustee or its designated paying agent or other person who is liable to withhold federal income tax from a distribution on a Residual
Certificate under sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “Withholding Agent”) may (i) withhold an amount equal to the taxes due upon disposition of the Certificate from future distributions made with respect
to the Certificate to the transferee (after giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on such transferee), and (ii) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service unless satisfactory written evidence of payment of the taxes due by
the transferor has been provided to the Withholding Agent. Moreover, the Withholding Agent may (x) hold distributions on a Certificate, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld, (y) withhold other amounts required to be
withheld pursuant to United States federal income tax law, if any, from distributions that otherwise would be made to such transferee on each Certificate it holds, and (z) pay to the Internal Revenue Service all such amounts withheld. 

 
 (b)    The Transferee acknowledges that the transfer of all or part of the Residual Certificates that have
“tax avoidance potential” (as defined in Treasury regulations section 1.860G-3(a)(2) or any successor provision) to a Non-U.S. Person will be disregarded for all federal income tax purposes. 
  
 (d)    The Transferee acknowledges that the transfer of the Residual Certificates to a U.S. Person will be disregarded
for all federal income tax purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of the taxes and expenses associated with the security within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.860E-1(c)(1).
