    (k)  all

      claims for severance and for payments in lieu of notice of termination made
      by
      employees of Seller who are not employed by Purchaser as of the Closing Date,
      including, without limitation, by reason of Seller’s failure to comply with the
      Worker Adjustment and Restraining Notification Act (“WARN”), other than a

    (m)

    2.5
       Consideration. Subject
      to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.6, the aggregate purchase price for
      the
      Purchased Assets shall be One Million Two Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five
      Hundred Dollars ($1,237,500), plus
      an
      amount equal to the Affiliate Payables (the “Purchase Price”), payable by
      Purchaser to the Seller through
      the issuance of such number of shares of Langer Common Stock having a value
      equal to the Purchase Price, valued based upon the Average Closing Price (the
      “Consideration Shares”). 

     

    2.6
       Certain
      Closing Adjustments and Covenants. The
      Purchase Price shall be decreased dollar for dollar to the extent that the
      Net
      Current Assets, as included in the Closing Date Balance Sheet, are less than
      $675,000 on the Closing Date.  

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c) For
      purposes of calculating the Net Current Assets, the Seller’s independent
      accountants shall conduct an audit of the closing date balance sheet of the
      Seller promptly after the Closing, and- within 45 days following the Closing
      Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser (i) a balance sheet of the
      Seller as at the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) prepared in
      accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial
      Statements, and (ii) an unaudited statement of Net Current Assets, derived
      from
      the items set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet. Notwithstanding the
      immediately preceding sentence, if the accounting policies and procedures
      applied by Seller in the preparation of the Financial Statements are not in
      accordance with GAAP, the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall nevertheless be
      prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Closing Date Balance Sheet and such
      statement of Net Current Assets shall exclude any adjustments or modification
      to
      the historical carrying values of assets and liabilities resulting from the
      recording of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser and its
      accountants shall be afforded access to and shall review the workpapers of
      the
      Seller and its accountants in connection with the preparation of the Closing
      Date Balance Sheet and such statement of Net Current Assets. The Closing Date
      Balance Sheet shall become final and binding upon the parties unless, within
      30
      days following delivery to the Purchaser (such 30 day period hereinafter
      referred to as the “Review Period”), notice is given by the Purchaser to the
      Seller of the Purchaser’s dispute of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, setting
      forth in reasonable detail the Purchaser’s basis for such objection. If notice
      of dispute is timely given by the Purchaser, the parties shall work together
      in
      good faith to resolve such dispute.

     

    (d) If
      the
      parties are unable to reach agreement within 30 days after notice of dispute
      has
      been received by the Seller, the dispute shall be referred for resolution to
      BDO
      Seidman, LLP (the “Determining Accountants”) as promptly as practicable. The
      Determining Accountants shall make a determination as to each item in dispute,
      which determination shall be (i) in writing, (ii) furnished to Langer, the
      Purchaser, the Seller, and the Principal Shareholders as promptly as practicable
      after the items in dispute have been referred to the Determining Accountants,
      (iii) made in accordance with this Agreement, and (iv) conclusive and binding
      upon each party hereto. Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall use reasonable
      efforts to cause the Determining Accountants to render their decision as soon
      as
      reasonably practicable, including without limitation by promptly complying
      with
      all reasonable requests by the Determining Accountants for information, books,
      records and similar items.

     

    (e) If
      any
      post-closing adjustment is required or permitted to be made pursuant hereto,
      the
      settlement thereof (the “Post-Closing Settlement”) shall take place at the
      offices of Kane Kessler, P.C. at 10:00 a.m. local time on the fifth business
      day
      following the end of the Review Period, or in the event such matter has been
      referred to the Determining Accountants, on the fifth business day following
      the
      date upon which the written determination of the Determining Accountants becomes
      final and binding upon the parties, or at such other time and place as the
      Purchaser and the Seller may mutually agree in writing (the “Determination
      Date”). If at the Post-Closing Settlement the Purchase Price is decreased, such
      decrease shall be paid by canceling such number of shares of Consideration
      Shares received by the Seller at Closing equal to the balance of such decrease,
      valued at the average closing price of the Langer Common Stock on the NASDAQ
      Global Market for the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending four (4)
      trading days prior to the Determination Date. The fees and expenses of each
      party’s respective accountants shall be borne by such party; provided;
      however,
      the
      Purchaser shall pay the initial $10,000 of the cost incurred by the Seller
      for
      the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet. The fees and expenses of
      the
      Determining Accountants incurred in connection with its review and determination
      shall be borne one-half by the Purchaser and one-half by the
      Seller.

    2.7
       Allocation
      of the Purchase Price. 

     

    Within
      90 days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the
      Seller a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price
      (including, for purposes of this Section 2.7, the Assumed Liabilities)
      among the Purchased Assets and restrictive covenants and prepared in accordance
      with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The Seller
      agrees that promptly after receiving the Allocation Schedule, it shall sign
      the
      Allocation Schedule and return an executed copy thereof to the Purchaser. The
      Purchaser and the Seller each agrees to file IRS Form 8594, and all
      federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns, in accordance with the Allocation
      Schedule, and no party shall take any position inconsistent with the Allocation
      Schedule upon examination of any such Tax Return, in any claim, or otherwise.
      The Purchaser and the Seller each agrees to provide the other promptly with
      any
      other information required to complete IRS Form 8594.

     

    2.8
       Delivery
      and Assignment of Purchased Assets; Attorney-in-Fact. (a)
      Promptly following the Closing, Seller will put the Purchaser into full physical
      possession and enjoyment of the Purchased Assets. With respect to the Purchased
      Assets listed on Schedule
      4.13
      that
      cannot be physically delivered to the Purchaser because they are in the
      possession of third parties or
      otherwise, the Seller shall give irrevocable instructions to the party in
      possession thereof, promptly following the Closing, with copies to the
      Purchaser, that all right, title, and interest therein have been vested in
      the
      Purchaser and that the same are to be held for the Purchaser’s exclusive use and
      benefit.

     

    (b) To
      the
      extent that the assignment by the Seller to the Purchaser of any Material
      Agreement or other contract, agreement, instrument, lease, license,
      understanding, or arrangement to be assigned to the Purchaser hereunder shall
      require the consent of a party other than the Seller, including those set forth
      on Schedule
      4.3,
      which
      has not been obtained prior to the Closing and if Langer and the Purchaser
      shall
      nevertheless elect to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same
      if an attempted assignment without such consent would constitute a breach
      thereof unless the Purchaser before, at, or after the Closing elects in a
      writing delivered to the Seller, specifically identifying such absent consent,
      to waive such consent. Nothing in this Section 2.8(b) regarding such
      non-assignment or such election shall limit any rights Langer or the Purchaser
      may have against the Seller as
      a
      result of the failure to obtain such consent.

     

    (c) All
      costs
      and expenses incurred in connection with the assignment and transfer of the
      Purchased Assets (including, but not limited to, amounts required to be paid
      in
      order to obtain necessary consents for such assignments and transfers) shall
      be
      borne solely by the Seller.

    (d) Seller
      hereby constitutes and appoints Purchaser, and its successors and assigns,
      the
      true and lawful attorneys-in-fact of Seller with full power of substitution,
      in
      the name of Purchaser or the name of Seller, on behalf of and for the benefit
      of
      Purchaser, to collect all accounts receivable included within the Purchased
      Assets and other items being transferred, conveyed and assigned to Purchaser
      as
      provided herein, to endorse, without recourse, checks, notes and other
      instruments included with the Purchased Assets in the name of Seller for the
      purpose of collection, to institute and prosecute, in the name of Seller or
      otherwise, all proceedings which Purchaser may deem proper in order to collect,
      assert or enforce any claim, right or title of any kind in or to the Purchased
      Assets being transferred, conveyed and assigned as provided herein and to defend
      and compromise any and all actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any
      of
      such Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities and to do all such acts and things
      in relation thereto as Purchaser may deem advisable in its sole discretion.
      Seller acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing powers are coupled with an
      interest and shall be irrevocable. Seller further agrees that Purchaser shall
      retain for its own account any amounts collected pursuant to the foregoing
      powers, and Seller, the Principal Shareholders, and their Affiliates shall
      pay
      to Purchaser, if and when received, any amounts which shall be received by
      Seller, the Principal Shareholders, or their Affiliates after the Closing in
      respect of the Purchased Assets to be transferred, conveyed and assigned to

    4.14
       Real
      Property. The
      Seller does not own any fee simple interest in real property. All lease and
      sublease agreements and all other instruments granting leasehold interests,
      rights, options, or other interests, as amended to date (the “Lease”)
      to
      which Seller is a party are set forth on Schedule
      4.14.
      Complete copies of each of the Leases have been previously provided to
      Purchaser. Except as set forth on Schedule
      4.14,
      the
      Leases are valid, binding and in full force and effect, all rent and other
      sums
      and charges payable thereunder are current, no notice of default or termination
      under any of the Leases is outstanding, no termination event or condition or
      uncured default on the part of the Seller or on the part of the landlord or
      sublandlord, as the case may be, thereunder, exists under the Leases, and no
      event has occurred and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice
      or
      the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or termination event
      or condition. All of the properties subject to the Leases (the “Leased
      Property”) are used solely in the conduct of the Business. There are no
      liabilities (other than rent and other sums and charges regularly payable)
      associated with any of the Leases including, without limitation, any liability
      under any Environmental and Safety Requirements which is or which may become
      payable by Purchaser.
      There is
      no obligation to reinstate any of the Leased Property by removing or dismantling
      any alteration made to it. There is no actual or contingent liability on Seller
      arising out of any leasehold estate or interest held by Seller as original
      lessee. All
      improvements located on the Leased Property are in a state of good maintenance
      and repair (subject to normal wear and tear) and in a condition adequate and
      suitable for the effective conduct therein of the Business. The heating,
      ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical systems at the Leased
      Property will be in good working order and repair on the Closing Date. The
      Seller has not experienced any material interruption in such services provided
      to any of the premises located on the Leased Property within the last year.
      To
      the knowledge of the Seller or the Principal Shareholders, no landlord under
      the
      Leases has any plans to make any material alterations to any of the Leased
      Property, the construction of which would interfere with the use of any portion
      of the Leased Property. To the knowledge of the Seller or the Principal
      Shareholders, no landlord under the Leases has any plans to make any material
      alterations to any of the buildings in which Leased Property is located, the
      costs of which alterations would be borne in any part by a tenant under the
      applicable Lease.

     

    4.15
       Insurance. Schedule
      4.15
      sets
      forth a true and complete list of all insurance policies providing insurance
      coverage of any nature to the Seller. The Seller has previously provided the
      Purchaser with true and complete copies of all of such insurance policies,
      as amended
      to the date hereof. Such policies provide adequate and customary coverage for
      the Business and are sufficient for compliance by the Seller with all
      requirements of Applicable Law and all Material Agreements to which the Seller
      is a party or by which any of the Purchased Assets of the Seller are bound.
      All
      of such policies are in full force and effect and are valid and enforceable
      in
      accordance with their terms, and the Seller has complied with all terms and
      conditions of such policies, including premium payments. None of the insurance
      carriers has indicated to the Seller or the Principal Shareholders an intention
      to cancel, or alter the coverage under, any such policy. The Seller does not
      have any claim pending against any of the insurance carriers under any of such
      policies and, to the Knowledge of Seller or the Principal Shareholders, there
      has been no actual or alleged occurrence of any kind which may give rise to
      any
      such claim and has not made any claims under any policy at any time since
      January 1, 2003, except as set forth on Schedule
      4.15.
      All
      applications for such policies are accurate in all respects.

      all authorizations, consents, approvals, franchises, licenses and permits
      required under Applicable Law or regulation for the operation of the business
      of
      the Seller as presently operated (the “Governmental Authorizations”). All the
      Governmental Authorizations have been duly issued or obtained and are in full
      force and effect, and the Seller is in compliance with the terms and conditions
      of all the Governmental Authorizations. No fact, condition, or violation exists
      which could cause the Governmental Authorizations not to be renewed by the
      appropriate Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course or which could
      cause
      the revocation, termination, suspension, or impairment of any Governmental
      Authorization. Except as set forth on Schedule
      4.16,
      the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the transfer to the
      Purchaser of the Governmental Authorizations will not adversely affect the
      status of any of the Governmental Authorizations.

     

    4.17

      Property Rights.

     

    (a) Schedule
      4.17(a)
      sets
      forth a complete and accurate list and description of all of the Intellectual
      Property currently used or contemplated or necessary to be used in connection
      with the Business.

     

    (b) Except
      as
      set forth on Schedule
      4.17(b),
      the
      Sellers has ownership of or a valid right to use all of the Intellectual
      Property currently used or contemplated or necessary to be used in connection
      with the Business. To the Knowledge of the Seller and each of the Principal
      Shareholders, none of the Intellectual Property infringes the right of any
      other
      person. To the Knowledge of the Seller and each of the Principal Shareholders,
      no other person is infringing the rights of the Seller in any such Intellectual
      Property.

      goods or services to the Seller for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Schedule
      4.18(b)
      identifies those suppliers of significant goods or services with respect to
      which alternative sources of supply are not readily available on comparable
      terms and conditions. Except as indicated on Schedule
      4.18(c),
      all
      supplies and services necessary for the conduct of the business of the Seller,
      as presently conducted, may be obtained from alternate sources on terms and
      conditions comparable to those presently available to the Seller, and no facts,
      circumstances or conditions exist which create a reasonable basis for believing
      that any of the Seller will be unable to continue to procure the supplies and
      services necessary to conduct its business on substantially the same terms
      and
      conditions as such supplies and services are currently procured. There has
      not
      been and will not be any material adverse change in the relations of the Seller
      with their respective customers, suppliers, contractors, licensors and lessors,
      as a result of the announcement or consummation of the transactions contemplated
      by this Agreement and neither the Seller nor the Principal Shareholders has
      any
      Knowledge that the Seller’s customers or suppliers has or is contemplating
      terminating its relationship with the Seller. To Seller’s and the Principal
      Shareholders’ Knowledge, no customer or supplier has experienced any type of
      work stoppage or other material adverse circumstances or conditions that may
      jeopardize or adversely affect the Seller’s future relationship with any
      customer or supplier. There are no pending disputes or controversies between
      any
      customer or supplier of any of the Seller, nor are there any facts which in
      the
      future would impair the relationship of the Seller with its customers or
      suppliers.

      the
      Seller for the past five fiscal years which were due, without regard to any
      extensions granted, on or before the date hereof. At all times since the date
      of

      4.22)
      with
      the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which such returns
      and reports are required to be filed. All of the foregoing as filed are true,
      correct and complete and, in all respects, reflect accurately all liability
      for
      Taxes of the Seller for the periods to which such returns relate, and all
      amounts shown as owing thereon have been paid. All income, profits, franchise,
      sales, use, value added, occupancy, property, excise, payroll, withholding,
      FICA, FUTA and other Taxes (including interest and penalties), if any,
      collectible or payable by the Seller or relating to or chargeable against any
      of
      its assets, revenues or income or relating to any employee, independent
      contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party through December 31,

      reserves, whether or not any such Taxes were reported or reflected in any Tax
      Returns or filings.

      Authority has sought to audit, and the Seller has not received notice of an
      audit of, the records of the Seller for the purpose of verifying or disputing
      any Tax Returns, reports or related information and disclosures provided to
      such
      Tax Authority, or for the Seller’s alleged failure to provide any such Tax
      Returns, reports or related information and disclosure. Except as provided
      on
Schedule
      4.22,
      no
      claims, deficiencies, or assessments have been asserted against or inquiries
      raised with the Seller with respect to any Taxes or other governmental charges
      or levies which have not been paid or otherwise satisfied, including claims
      that, or inquiries whether, the Seller has not filed a Tax Return that it was
      required to file, and there exists no reasonable basis for the making of any
      such claims or inquiries. The Seller has not waived any restrictions on
      assessment or collection of Taxes or consented to the extension of any statute
      of limitations relating to taxation.

     

    (c) No
      claim
      has been made, nor do the Seller or the Principal Shareholders know of any
      claim
      that is pending, by an authority in any jurisdiction where the Seller files
      Tax
      Returns alleging that the Seller is or may be subject to taxation in that
      jurisdiction.

     

    (d) Except
      for (i) Taxes for the payment of which an adequate reserve has been established

      there is no Tax lien imposed by any taxing authority outstanding against any
      of
      the assets or properties of the Seller.

      Adverse Effect or which could otherwise cause the Seller to recall, withdraw
      or
      suspend any such Product from the market or to change the marketing
      classification of any such Product. There are no material defects in the
      designs, specifications, or process with respect to any Product sold or
      otherwise distributed that will give rise to any Losses or that will cause
      such
      Products to not be useable as intended or marketed.

      sets
      forth a list and brief description of all correspondence received or sent by

      Requirements. The Seller is in compliance with all applicable Environmental
      and
      Safety Requirements.

     

    (b) Neither
      this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

“transaction-triggered” or “responsible property transfer” laws and
      regulations).

     

    (c) The
      Seller has not either expressly or by operation of law, assumed or undertaken

    4.26
       Accounts
      Receivable, Notes Receivable, and Costs in Excess of Billing. All
      accounts and notes receivable of the Seller have arisen in the ordinary course
      of business, represent valid obligations to the Seller for sales made, services
      performed or other charges, are not subject to claims or set-off, or other
      defenses or counter-claims, and, subject only to consistently recorded reserves
      for bad debts (which has been recorded on the Financial Statements and books
      and
      records of the Seller in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis in a manner
      consistent with past practice), have been collected or are collectible in the
      aggregate recorded amounts thereof in accordance with their terms. All items
      which are required by GAAP to be reflected as accounts and notes receivable
      on
      the Financial Statements and on the books and records of the Seller are so
      reflected and have been recorded in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis
      in a manner consistent with past practice. The Seller has properly perfected
      in
      accordance with Applicable Law, to the extent applicable, enforceable interests
      (or title) in such accounts and notes receivable or other security interests
      related to such receivables.

     

    4.27
       Accounts
      and Notes Payable. Schedule
      4.27(a)
      sets
      forth a true and correct aged list of all accounts and notes payable of the
      Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets and as of the end of the month
      prior
      to the date hereof in excess of $1,000 to any one payee. No account or note
      payable of the Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets which has arisen
      subsequent to the end of the month prior to the date hereof has exceeded $1,000
      nor has the aggregate of such accounts payable exceeded $15,000. All such
      accounts and notes payable have arisen in the ordinary course of business and
      represent valid indebtedness of the Seller. Except as set forth on Schedule
      4.27(b),
      all
      items which are required by GAAP to be reflected as accounts and notes
      receivable on the Financial Statements and on the books and records of the
      Seller are so reflected and have been recorded in accordance with GAAP on a
      consistent basis in a manner consistent with past practice.

     

    4.28
       Inventory
      Valuation. The
      raw
      materials, work in process, spare parts, and other inventory of the Seller

      set forth on the Financial Statements was, and the raw materials, work in
      process, spare parts, and other inventory of the Seller currently is, in usable
      or salable condition in the ordinary course of business at the amounts carried
      on the Financial Statements and currently on the books and records of the
      Seller, respectively. The raw materials, work in process, spare parts, and
      other
      inventory are not obsolete or excessive and are of at least the standard quality
      for such items; are suitable for the manufacture and distribution of Seller’s
      Products of standard quality for such products; and are not in excess of the
      normal purchasing patterns of the Seller. Neither the Seller nor the Principal
      Shareholders knows of any condition adversely affecting the supply of materials
      available to the Seller. The amounts of the inventories
      reflected on the Financial Statements and on the books and records of the Seller
      have been determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

     

    4.29
       Absence
      of Certain Business Practices. None
      of
      the Seller, its related parties or any affiliates or any other Person acting
      on
      behalf of or associated with the Seller or any individual related to any of
      the
      foregoing Persons, acting alone or together, has with respect to the Business
      or
      activities of the Seller: (a) received, directly or indirectly, any rebates,
      payments, commissions, promotional allowances or any other economic benefits,
      regardless of their nature or
      type,
      from any customer, supplier, trading company, shipping company, governmental
      employee or other Person with whom the Seller has done business directly or
      indirectly; or (b) directly or indirectly, given or agreed to give any gift
      or
      similar benefit to any customer, supplier, trading company, shipping company,
      governmental employee or other Person who is or may be in a position to help
      or
      hinder the business of the Seller (or assist the Seller in
      connection with
      any
      actual or proposed transaction) which (i) may subject the Seller to any damage
      or any penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental litigation or proceeding,
      (ii) if not given in the past, may have had a Material Adverse Effect or (iii)
      if not continued in the future, may materially adversely affect the assets,
      business or operations of the Seller or subject the Seller to suit or penalty
      in
      any private or governmental litigation or proceeding. The Seller has conducted
      its business in a manner that complies with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices
      Act.

    4.30
       Solvency. The
      Seller is able to pay its debts as they mature and the transfer of the Purchased
      Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement shall not constitute a voidable preference or transfer in fraud of
      any
      creditor under applicable federal or state insolvency law.

     

    4.31
       Review
      of Forms. The
      Seller has (1) received and carefully reviewed the Langer 10-K and Langer’s
      Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by Langer
      with the Commission since January 1, 2004 and (2) had the opportunity to ask
      questions and receive answers from Langer concerning such forms and the
      documents incorporated by reference therein and to obtain any documents relating
      to Langer which are on file with the SEC and available for inspection by the
      public. The Seller is aware of the risks inherent in an investment in Langer
      and
      specifically the risks of an investment in the Langer Common Stock. In addition,
      Seller is aware and acknowledges that there can be no assurance of the future
      viability or profitability of Langer, nor can there be any assurance relating
      to
      the current or future price of the Langer Common Stock, as quoted on the NASDAQ
      Global Market, or market conditions generally. 

     

    4.32
       Investment
      Representations. The
      Seller is acquiring the Consideration Shares for its own account and will not
      sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (including pursuant to a liquidating
      dividend or otherwise) any of the Consideration Shares or any interest therein,
      without registration under the Securities Act and applicable state “blue sky”
laws, except in a transaction which in the opinion of counsel reasonably
      acceptable to Langer is exempt therefrom. The Seller is an “accredited investor”
as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
      The Seller has such Knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
      as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of an investment in the
      Langer Common Stock and has obtained, in its judgment, sufficient information
      from Langer to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Langer
      Common Stock. The Seller has been provided the opportunity to obtain information
      and documents concerning Langer and the Langer Common Stock, and has been given
      the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the directors
      and
      officers of Langer concerning Langer and the Langer Common Stock and other
      matters pertaining to this investment. The Seller is acquiring the Consideration
      Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view
      to
      or for the resale, distribution
      or fractionalization thereof. The Seller acknowledges that the offer of the
      Langer Common Stock will not be reviewed by any governmental agency and is
      being
      sold to the Seller in reliance upon exemption from the Securities Act. The
      Seller acknowledges that certificates representing the Consideration Shares
      will
      bear the legend set forth in Section 2.12.

     

    4.33  Ownership
      of Shares of Langer. The
      Seller and the shareholders of the Seller do not own, as determined in
      accordance with Section 197(f)(9) of the Code, directly or indirectly, in the
      aggregate, immediately prior to and as of the Closing, more than twenty percent
      (20%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Langer.

      product returns and exchanges and a statement of the percentage of the Seller’s
      products returned or exchanged within the three (3) years prior to the date
      of
      this Agreement.

     

    4.35  Disclosure. No
      representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or the
      Seller Ancillary Agreements, and no statement, report, or certificate furnished
      by or on behalf of the Seller or the Principal Shareholders to Langer and/or
      the
      Purchaser or its agents pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions
      contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material
      fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
      contained herein or therein not misleading or omits or will omit to state a
      material fact necessary in order to provide a prospective purchaser of the
      Purchased Assets with full and proper information as to the business, financial
      condition, assets, results of operation or prospects of the Seller and the
      value
      of its properties or the ownership or operation of the Seller. There is no
      fact
      known to Seller or the Principal Shareholders, or which reasonably should be
      known to Seller or the Principal Shareholders, which Seller and the Principal
      Shareholders have not disclosed to Langer and Purchaser in writing with respect

              (i)

            	
              An
                Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims
                for
                Losses asserted against such party by any third party, give written
                notice
                to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise
                to a
                claim for indemnity under this Agreement, to the extent reasonably
                possible, but not later than ten (10) days prior to, with respect
                to
                claims for losses arising after the date hereof, the date any answer

                claim for indemnity; provided,
                however,
                that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of
                the
                Indemnified Party, except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying
                Party are materially prejudiced.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (ii)

            	
              Subject

                compromise or settlement of any third Person claim, action or suit
                against
                such Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought

                Indemnified Party from any Indemnifying Party hereunder,
                and in any such case the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in connection
                therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony
                and
                attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials
                and
                appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party in
                connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may
                participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense,
                in the
                defense of any such claim, action or suit as to which the Indemnified
                Party has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof;
                and
                provided, further,
                that the Indemnified Party shall not, without the written consent
                of the
                Indemnifying Party (which written consent shall not be unreasonably
                withheld), pay, compromise or settle any such claim,
                action or suit, except that no such consent shall be required if,
                following a written request from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
                Party shall fail, within
                14 days after the making of such request, to acknowledge and agree in
                writing that, if such claim, action or suit shall be adversely determined,
                such Indemnifying Party has an obligation to provide indemnification
                hereunder to such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                the
                Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise
                any
                such claim, action or suit without such consent, provided that in
                such
                event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor
                hereunder unless such consent is unreasonably
                withheld.

              (iii)

            	
              If
                any third Person claim, action or suit against any Indemnified Party
                (A)
                does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the
                Indemnified Party; (B) such claim does not involve criminal proceedings
                against the Indemnified Party; (C) such claim would not reasonably
                be
                expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (D) the applicable claim
                is
                against, or if the defendants in any litigation relating to the applicable
                claim include, both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
                and
                the Indemnified Party does not reasonably conclude in good faith
                that
                there are defenses available to it that are different or additional
                to
                those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (E) no conflict of
                interest
                exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party as
                to such
                claim; then with respect to each such claim, action or suit the
                Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through
                counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of
                any such
                claim, action or suit against such Indemnified Party as to which
                indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified Party from any
                Indemnifying Party hereunder, provided that the Indemnifying Party
                has
                acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely
                determined, the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to provide
                indemnification to the Indemnified Party in respect thereof. In any
                such
                case the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in connection
                therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony
                and
                attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials
                and
                appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party
                in
                connection therewith, and the Indemnified Party may participate,
                through
                counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any
                such
                claim, action or suit as to which the Indemnifying Party has so elected
                to
                conduct and control the defense thereof. So long as the Indemnifying
                Party
                is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified
                Party may pay, settle, or compromise such claim only at its own expense
                and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of
                separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named
                parties
                to any proceeding include both parties and representation of both
                parties
                by the same counsel would be a conflict of interest for such counsel.
                If a
                conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified
                Party, or if the Indemnifying Party does not make an election to
                defend
                the claims or, if having made such election to defend the claim does
                not,
                in the good faith reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, proceed
                diligently to defend such claim with respect to a Loss and as a result
                the
                Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend a claim for such Loss may
                reasonably be materially prejudiced, after written notice to the
                Indemnifying Party articulating with reasonable specificity any lack
                of
                diligence by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim and a
                10
                business day opportunity to cure, then the Indemnified Party may
                at the
                expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense
                of and
                proceed to handle such claim but shall not, without the written consent
                of
                the Indemnifying Party (which written consent shall not be unreasonably
                withheld or delayed), pay, compromise or settle any such claim, action
                or
                suit. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably
                cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party
                elect to
                take over the defense of any such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise
                any such claim, action or suit, provided that in such event the
                Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder
                unless the Indemnified Party shall have sought the consent of the
                Indemnifying Party to such payment, settlement or compromise and
                such
                consent was unreasonably withheld or delayed, in which event no claim
                for
                indemnity therefor hereunder shall be
                waived.

              (iv)

            	
              With
                regard to any and all claims for which indemnification is payable
                hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying
                Party
                upon the earlier to occur of (the “Final Determination”): (i) the entry of
                a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any
                applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the
                date
                that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment;
                (ii) the
                entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against
                the
                Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding
                the
                foregoing, provided that there is no good faith dispute as to the
                applicability of indemnification, the reasonable legal fees and expenses
                of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current
                basis
                by the Indemnifying Party if such legal fees and expenses are a liability
                of the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which
                indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall
                be paid
                promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified
                Party.
                

            

    

     

    (d) Limitations
      on Indemnification.
      (i)
      Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no indemnification
      payment shall be made to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties until the amounts
      which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to receive
      as indemnification under this Agreement aggregate at least $100,000, at which
      time the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified dollar for dollar
      to
      the extent such liability exceeds $100,000. The indemnification provisions
      set
      forth in Section 5.3(a)(i) (with respect to a breach of Sections 4.1, 4.2,
      4.6,
      4.12, 4.13, 4.21, 4.22, 4.25, 4.29, and 4.35), 5.3(a)(ii), 5.3(a)(iii),
      5.3(a)(iv), 5.3(a)(v), 5.3(a)(viii), 7.2, 8.1, and 8.2 or a claim based upon
      “fraud” (as hereinafter defined) shall not be subject to the limitations set
      forth in this Section 5.3(d)(i) and shall be indemnified to the Purchaser
      Indemnified Parties dollar for dollar to the extent any liability with respect
      to such matters exists. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
      notwithstanding, no indemnification payment shall be made to the Seller
      Indemnified Parties until the amounts which the Seller Indemnified Parties
      would
      otherwise be entitled to receive as indemnification under this Agreement
      aggregate at least $100,000, at which time the Seller Indemnified Parties shall
      be indemnified dollar for dollar to the extent such liability exceeds
      $100,000.

              (ii)

            	
              The
                maximum aggregate liability of the Seller and the Principal Shareholders
                for any claim arising from or relating to this Agreement or the
                transactions contemplated hereby, whether asserted as breach of contract,
                tort, violation of statute or otherwise, irrespective of the theory
                or
                basis of such claim, shall not exceed the Indemnification Limit (as
                defined below), provided,
                that the limitation set forth in this sentence shall not apply to
                (1) any
                breach by Seller or the Principal Shareholders of the representations,
                warranties or covenants contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.6, 4.12,
                4.13,
                4.21, 4.22, 4.25, 4.29, 4.35, 7.2, 8.1, and 8.2 of this Agreement,
                (2) the
                indemnification provisions set forth in Sections 5.3(a)(ii), 5.3(a)(iii),
                5.3(a)(iv), 5.3(a)(v), and 5.3(a)(viii) or (3) the commission of
“fraud”
                by the Seller or the Principal Shareholders with respect to any matters
                pertaining to this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
                contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Section 5.3(d), the term
“fraud”
                shall include any willful or intentional misrepresentation or the
                making,
                by the Seller or any Shareholder, of any untrue statement of a material
                fact or the omission to state a material fact necessary in order
                to make
                the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which they
                were
                made, not misleading if the person making such untrue statement of
                a
                material fact or omitting to state such material fact had actual
                Knowledge
                that such statement or omission was untrue when made or omitted.
                The
                maximum aggregate liability of Langer and the Purchaser for any claim
                arising from or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
                contemplated hereby, whether asserted as breach of contract, tort,
                violation of statute or otherwise, irrespective of the theory or
                basis of
                such claim, shall not exceed the Indemnification Limit. As used herein,
                “Indemnification Limit” shall mean the sum of the Purchase Price, as it
                may be increased or decreased pursuant to Section 2.6
                hereof.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              (iii)

            	
              The
                extent to which any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification
                hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds
                received by the Indemnified Party on account of the claim that the
                Indemnified Party is seeking to be indemnified for, irrespective
                of the
                identity of the party that paid for such
                insurance.

      Seller, the Principal Shareholders, and their Affiliates shall not engage or
      have an interest in any Competitive Business, anywhere in (i) the United States
      of America or its territories and possessions, including, but not limited to,

      Langer or the Purchaser does business or in which any of Langer’s or the
      Seller’s products are marketed, as principal, officer, agent, employee,
      director, partner or stockholder (except as an owner of five percent (5%) or
      less of the stock of any company listed on a national securities exchange or
      traded in the over-the-counter market), or through the investment of capital,

      their respective Subsidiaries regarding becoming a customer of any of such
      companies, or (iii) recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any person who is

      Purchaser, the Seller, or their Subsidiaries in connection with any product
      or
      service, whether or not such use would be in a Competitive Business. The Seller
      and the Principal Shareholders acknowledge that compliance with the restrictions
      set forth in this Section 8.1 will not prevent any of them from earning a
      livelihood. As used herein, the “Restricted Period” shall mean (a) with respect

      hereof and/or during the Restricted Period excluding (i) the wholesale
      manufacture and distribution of pre-fabricated orthotic devices;

      of Langer and the Purchaser.

    8.3
       Continuing
      Obligations; Equitable Remedies. The
      restrictions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 are considered by the parties
      to
      be reasonable for the purposes of protecting the value of the business and
      goodwill of the Purchaser and the Purchased Assets. Purchaser, the Seller and
      the Principal Shareholders acknowledge that Purchaser and Langer would be
      irreparably harmed and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate
      remedy to Purchaser or Langer in the event the covenants contained in Sections
      8.1 and 8.2 were not complied with in accordance with their terms. Accordingly,
      the Seller and the Principal Shareholders agree that any breach or threatened
      breach by any of them of any provision of Sections 8.1 or 8.2 shall entitle
      Purchaser and Langer to injunctive and other equitable relief to secure the
      enforcement of these provisions, in addition to any other remedies (including
      damages) which may be available to Purchaser. If the Seller or any of the
      Principal Shareholders breaches the covenant set forth in Section 8.1, the
      running of the non-compete period described therein shall be tolled for so
      long
      as such breach continues. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the
      provisions of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
      under the laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement
      is
      sought. If any provisions of Section 8.1 relating to the time period, scope
      of
      activities or geographic area of restrictions is declared by a court of
      competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum permissible time period, scope
      of
      activities or geographic area, as the case may be, the time period, scope of
      activities or geographic area shall be reduced to the maximum which such court
      deems enforceable. If any provisions of Section 8.1 or 8.2 other than those
      described in the preceding sentence
      are adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable
      provisions shall be deemed amended (with respect only to the jurisdiction in
      which such adjudication is made) in such manner as to render them enforceable
      and to effectuate as nearly as possible the original intentions and agreement
      of
      the parties. In addition, if any party brings an action to enforce Sections
      8.1
      or 8.2 hereof or to obtain damages for a breach thereof, the prevailing party
      in
      such action shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all
      attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in such
      action.

     

    8.4
       Change
      of Name; Post-Closing Use of Name and Tradenames. Within
      1
      day following the Closing Date, the Seller shall change its name to remove
      the
      words “Regal” by amendment of its certificate of incorporation. The Seller shall
      provide to Purchaser a copy of
      such
      amendment of its certificate of incorporation and evidence satisfactory to
      Purchaser that whatever filings are necessary to effect such name change in
      any
      jurisdiction in which such Seller is licensed or qualified to do business have
      been made. From and after the Closing, none of the Seller, the Principal
      Shareholders, or any of their Affiliates shall use the name “Regal” or any
      tradenames or trademarks listed on Schedule
      4.19,
      nor any
      derivations thereof or any confusingly similar tradenames or trademarks, in
      connection with the conduct of any business.

     

    8.5
       Taxes. The
      Seller agrees to pay when due and discharge all sales and other state and local
      taxes owing by the Seller in respect of the operation of the Seller up to and
      including the Closing Date. The Seller shall file with all appropriate
      authorities its final sales Tax Returns when and as such returns are due under
      Applicable Law. Any sales Tax, use Tax, real property transfer or gains Tax,
      documentary stamp Tax or similar Tax attributable to the sale or transfer of
      the
      Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities shall be paid by
      Seller. Purchaser agrees to sign and deliver such certificates or forms as
      may
      be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise
      reduce), or file Tax Returns with respect to, such Taxes.

    8.6
       Collection
      of Receivables.
      (a) From
      and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the right and authority,
      and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the accounts and notes
      receivable included in the Purchased Assets (the “Receivables”) and to endorse
      all checks received on account of the Receivables, in the Seller’s name
      generally in accordance with the billing and collection practices presently
      applied by the Purchaser in the collection of its accounts and notes receivable,
      except that with respect to any particular Receivable, the Purchaser shall
      be
      under no obligation to commence or not to commence litigation to effect
      collection and may make any adjustment, concession or settlement which in the
      good faith judgment of the Purchaser is commercially reasonable. In connection
      with the collections by the Purchaser, if a payment is received from an account
      debtor who has not designated the invoice being paid thereby, such payment
      shall
      be applied to the earliest invoice outstanding with respect to indebtedness
      of
      such account debtor, except for those invoices which are subject to a dispute
      to
      the extent of such dispute.

     

    (b)
      The
      Purchaser shall, on or before the fifteenth business day of each calendar month
      commencing with the second complete calendar month following the Closing Date,
      deliver to Seller a written report (“Collection Report”) of the following
      information with respect to the Receivables:

     

    (i)
      the
      aggregate amount of the Receivables (and the number of accounts comprising
      such
      Receivables); and

     

    (ii)
      the
      aggregate amount of cash collections of the Receivables during the period from
      the Closing Date through the date of the Collection Report.

     

    (c)
      If
      the Purchaser has not collected, within nine (9) months after the Closing Date,
      or in the event of an extended payment arrangement with respect to a customer
      disclosed on Schedule
      8.6(c),
      such
      later date as provided in accordance with the terms of such payment arrangement,
      an amount equal to the excess of the Receivables over the allowance for doubtful
      accounts shown on the Closing Date Balance Sheet (such excess being referred
      to
      herein as the “Net Amount of Receivables”), then the Purchaser shall have the
      right to require the Seller to pay the Purchaser an amount (the “Receivables
      Reimbursement Payment”) equal to (i) the Net Amount of Receivables minus
      (ii) the
      amount collected in cash by the Purchaser during such nine (9) month period
      in
      respect of the Receivables; provided
      that the
      Purchaser shall have no right to receive a Receivables Reimbursement Payment
      with respect to any amount thereof for which the Purchaser or Langer received
      indemnification pursuant to Section 5.3(a). After the expiration of such nine
      (9) month period, any then outstanding Receivables shall be referred to the
      collection agency employed by Langer or the Purchaser at such time for
      collection of such outstanding Receivable; provided,
      however,
      that if
      at the end of such nine (9) month period, the Purchaser shall elect not to
      refer
      any Receivable to such collection agency, the Seller shall not be required
      to
      pay the portion of the Receivable Reimbursement Payment related to such
      Receivable unless and until the Purchaser refers such Receivable to such
      collection agency.

     

    (d) If,
      after
      the Closing Date, the Seller, or any other Person on behalf of the Seller,
      shall
      receive any remittance from any account debtors with respect to the Receivables
      (excluding any Receivable assigned to the Seller), the Seller or such other
      Person shall endorse such remittance to the order of the Purchaser and forward
      it to the Purchaser immediately upon receipt thereof, and any such amounts
      shall
      be deemed to have been collected by the Purchaser for purposes of this
      Section 8.6.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        42

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (e) If
      a
      Langer Affiliate shall receive any remittance from or on behalf of any account
      debtor with respect to any Receivable after such Receivable has been referred
      to
      a collection agency, including a remittance from the collection agency, the
      Purchaser shall endorse such remittance to the order of the Seller and forward
      it to the Seller immediately upon receipt thereof.

     

    8.7
       Access
      to Records after Closing. For
      a
      period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Langer, Purchaser and their
      representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records
      relating to the Business which Seller, the Principal Shareholders or any of
      their Affiliates may retain after the Closing Date. Such access shall be
      afforded by Seller, the Principal Shareholders and their Affiliates upon receipt
      of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. The Purchaser
      shall be solely responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by it pursuant
      to this Section 8.7. If the Seller, the Principal Shareholders, or any of
      their Affiliates shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior
      to the expiration of such representations and warranties, the Seller, the
      Principal Shareholders, and their Affiliates shall, prior to such disposition,
      give the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity, at the Purchaser’s expense, to
      segregate and remove such books and records as the Purchaser may
      select.

     

    8.8
       Treatment
      of Certain Excluded Liabilities. Seller
      agrees that its obligations with respect to the Excluded Liabilities referred
      to
      in Sections 2.4(e) and 2.4(g) include the obligation to undertake the defense
      of
      or otherwise settle or resolve each such matter. Seller shall have
      the right
      to
      defend, settle or otherwise resolve each such matter in any manner it deems
      appropriate, provided that (i) no such matter may be settled or resolved in
      a
      manner that would materially increase the cost of the conduct of the Business
      after the Closing and (ii) no such matter may be settled or resolved in a manner
      that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting Langer,
      the
      Purchaser, or the Purchased Assets. Seller shall provide periodic status reports
      to Purchaser regarding any matter referred to in this Section 8.8 that could
      affect Langer, the Purchaser, the Business, or the Purchased Assets after the
      Closing Date. Langer, Purchaser, and their counsel and
      representatives shall have the right to consult with Seller and its counsel
      from
      time to time regarding such matters and to review any documents prepared in
      connection therewith.

     

    8.9
       Payments
      of Accounts Payable. The
      accounts payable of the Seller set forth on Schedule
      8.10
      shall be
      paid in full, with interest thereby, by the Purchaser within forty-five (45)
      days after the Closing Date.

    TERMINATION

    

    9.1
       Termination
      by the Purchaser. This
      Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser as follows:

    

    (a) upon
      a
      material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the
      part of the Seller or the Principal Shareholders set forth in this Agreement,
      or
      if any representation or warranty of the Seller or the Principal Shareholders
      shall have become untrue in any material respect, in either case such that
      the
      conditions set forth in Section 6.4 of this Agreement would be incapable of
      being satisfied by the Seller on or prior to the Closing; provided, that in
      any
      case, a willful breach shall be deemed to cause such conditions to be incapable
      of being satisfied for purposes of this Section 9.1(a), and further provided
      that such breach or untrue representation or warranty, other than a breach
      of
      Section 7.2, is not cured within ten (10) days after notice thereof;

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        43

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) any
      legal
      proceeding is commenced or threatened by any Governmental Entity or other Person
      directed against the consummation of the Closing or any other transaction
      contemplated hereby, and Purchaser reasonably and in good faith deems it
      impractical or inadvisable to proceed in view of such legal proceeding or threat
      thereof; or

    

    (c) at
      any
      time after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on March 1, 2007 if the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement have not closed by such time; or

    

    9.2
       Termination
      by the Seller and Principal Shareholders.
      This
      Agreement may be terminated by the Seller and the Principal Shareholders as
      follows:

    

    (a) upon
      a
      breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the
      part of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, or if any material representation
      or warranty of Purchaser shall have become untrue, in either case such that
      the
      conditions set forth in Section 6.3 of this Agreement would be incapable of
      being satisfied by Purchaser on or prior to the Closing; provided, that in
      any
      case, a willful breach shall be deemed to cause such conditions to be incapable
      of being satisfied for purposes of this Section 9.2(a), and further provided
      that such breach or untrue misrepresentation or warranty is not cured within
      ten
      (10) days after notice thereof; or

    

    (b) at
      any
      time after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on March 1, 2007 if the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement have not closed by such time.

    

    9.3 Effect
      of Termination.
      In the
      event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.2,
      this Agreement (except for the provisions of Section 10.15, 10.16, 10.9 and
      this
      Section 9.3, which shall continue indefinitely, Section 7.2 which shall continue
      for one year from the Closing Date), shall forthwith become void and neither
      party shall have any further liability to the other under this Agreement;
      provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for fraud
      or
      willful breach of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For
      the avoidance of doubt, Section 7.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement
      for purposes of the Purchaser bringing any claims relating to breaches of
      Section 7.2 that occurred prior to or within one year after the termination
      of
      this Agreement.

    

    9.4 Notice
      of Termination. A
      party
      shall provide each of the other parties with at least ten (10) days’ notice
      prior to termination under Sections 9.1(a) and (b) or 9.2(a) hereof and the
      opportunity to cure any such deficiency or, if not capable of being cured in
      such ten (10) day period, then to commence cure and proceed to complete same
      diligently and in any event within thirty (30) days of such notice.

    

    9.5 Waiver. At
      any
      time prior to the Closing, each of the parties hereto may (a) extend
      the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the
      other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and
      warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or
      (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained
      herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an
      instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.

      shall constitute a waiver of such party’s rights under such provisions at any

       No
      Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing
      expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed,
      to
      confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto and their
      respective heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors
      and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this
      Agreement. 

     

    10.8
       Severability. In
      the
      event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall
      be declared invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions
      of
      this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and such invalid, void
      or
      unenforceable provision shall be interpreted as closely as possible to the
      manner in which it was written. It is the desire and intent of the parties
      that
      the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
      under the laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement
      is
      sought. If any provision of this Agreement relating to a time period or scope
      of
      activities is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the
      maximum permissible time period or scope of activities, as the case may be,
      the
      time period or scope of activities shall be reduced to the maximum which such
      court deems enforceable.

     

    10.9
       Expenses. Except
      as
      set forth in Section 2.6(d) with respect to $10,000 of expenses incurred by
      the
      Seller, each party agrees to pay, without right of reimbursement from the other
      party, the costs incurred by it incident to the performance of its obligations
      under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      hereby, including, without limitation,
      costs incident to the preparation of this Agreement, and the fees and
      disbursements of counsel, accountants and consultants employed by such party
      in
      connection herewith.

    10.12
       Time
      of the Essence. Wherever

    10.13
       Injunctive
      Relief. It
      is
      possible that remedies at law may be inadequate and, therefore, the parties
      hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief including, without limitation,
      injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable remedies in addition
      to all other remedies provided hereunder or available to the parties hereto
      at
      law or in equity. 

     

    10.14
       Remedies
      Cumulative. No
      remedy
      made available by any of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to be
      exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative
      and
      shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
      existing at law or in equity. 

     

    10.15
       Governing
      Law. This

    10.16
       Jurisdiction
      and Venue.
      This
      Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and
      New
      York state courts located in the County of New York, State of New York, United

      are
      required to be resolved by the parties in the manner prescribed by Section
      2.6.
      The parties to this Agreement agree that any breach of any term or condition
      of
      this Agreement or other dispute arising under this Agreement shall be deemed
      to
      have occurred in the State of New York by virtue of a failure to perform an
      act
      required to be performed in the State of New York or otherwise and irrevocably
      and expressly agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Federal and New York
      State courts located in the County of New York, State of New York, United States
      of America for the purpose of resolving any disputes among the parties relating
      to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. By the execution
      and
      delivery of this Agreement, the parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent
      permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the
      laying of venue or to the jurisdiction of any such suit, action or proceeding
      arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any judgment entered by any
      court in respect hereof brought in the Federal or New York state courts located
      in the County of New York, State of New York, United States of America, and
      irrevocably submit generally and unconditionally to the jurisdiction of any
      such
      court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and further irrevocably waive
      any
      claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in the Federal or New
      York state courts located in the County of New York, State of New York, United
      States of America has been brought in an inconvenient forum or lacks personal
      jurisdiction. Each party agrees that service of process may be made by personal
      service of a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process in any
      such suit, action or proceeding, or by registered or certified mail (postage
      prepaid) to the proper address for notice set forth herein or by any other
      method of service provided for under the applicable laws in effect in the state
      of New York.

        (December 2006 Edition) (collectively, the “Trust
        Agreement”
or
        this
“Agreement”),
        is
        hereby executed by and among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP., a Delaware
        corporation (the “Depositor”),
        DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY (“Deutsche

        as

        and as
        custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”)
        and

      In
        consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
        agree as follows:

       

      PRELIMINARY
        STATEMENT

       

      The
        Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall elect that five segregated
        asset pools within the Trust Fund be treated for federal income tax purposes
        as
        comprising five REMICs (each, a “Trust
        REMIC”
or,
        in
        the alternative, the “Lower-Tier REMIC,” the “Middle-Tier REMIC,” the
“Upper-Tier REMIC,” the “Class X REMIC” and the “Class P REMIC”). The
        Class X Interest, the Class P Interest and each Class of LIBOR Certificates
        (exclusive of the right to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts or any
        obligation to pay amounts to the Supplemental Interest Trust), represents
        ownership of a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the
        REMIC Provisions. The Class R Certificates represent ownership of the sole
        class of residual interest in each of the Middle-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier
        REMIC, the Class RC Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of
        residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Class RX Certificates
        represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each of the
        Class
        X REMIC and Class P REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Startup
        Day
        for each REMIC described herein is the Closing Date. The latest possible
        maturity date for each Certificate is the latest date referenced in Section
        2.04. The Class X REMIC shall hold as its assets the Class X Interest and
        the
        Class P REMIC shall hold as its assets the Class P Interest, in each case,
        as
        provided below. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the several
        classes of uncertificated Middle-Tier Regular Interests in the Middle-Tier
        REMIC, as provided below. The Middle-Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets
        the
        several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the Lower-Tier
        REMIC, as provided below. The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the
        assets described in the definition of “Trust Fund” herein (other than the Excess
        Reserve Fund Account and any rights under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement).
        Each Class of LIBOR Certificates represents beneficial ownership of a regular
        interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC and the right to receive Basis Risk Carry
        Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay amounts to the Supplement Interest
        Trust, the Class P Certificates represent beneficial ownership of a regular
        interest in the Class P REMIC, and the Class X Certificates represent beneficial
        ownership of a regular interest in the Class X REMIC, the Excess Reserve
        Fund
        Account and the Supplement Interest Trust.

      The

          expense of the Lower-Tier REMIC all expenses of the Trust Fund for such
          Distribution Date, other than any Net Swap Payment Amount or Swap Termination
          Payment required to be made from the Trust Fund.

         

        On
          each
          Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate
          Interest Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding
          paragraph
          and without regard to any payments related to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement)
          with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests based on the
          above-described interest rates.

         

        On

          Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the aggregate
          Principal Remittance Amount with respect to the Lower-Tier
          Regular Interests, first to the Class LT1-A Interest until its principal
          balance is reduced to zero, and then sequentially, to the other Lower-Tier
          Regular Interests in ascending order of their numerical class designation,
          and,
          with respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical designation,
          in
          equal amounts to each such class, until the principal balance of each such
          class
          is reduced to zero. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated
          among
          the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the same manner that principal distributions
          are allocated.

         

        On
          each
          Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute an amount
          equal
          to the amount then on deposit in the Certificate Account that represents
          Prepayment Premiums to the Class LT1-F58 Interest.

         

        In
          addition to issuing the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the Lower-Tier
          REMIC,
          the Lower-Tier REMIC shall also issue the Class R-1 Interest which shall
          be the
          sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class RC
          Certificates will represent ownership of the Class R-1 Interest and will
          be
          issued as a single Certificate in definitive form in a principal amount
          of $100
          and shall have no interest rate. Amounts received by the Class R-1 Interest
          shall be deemed paid from the Lower-Tier REMIC.

                      the
                      interest rate for each of these interests is a per annum rate
                      equal to the

                      in the Lower-Tier REMIC for such Distribution Date, provided,

                      Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote
                      four below, such weighted average shall be computed by first
                      subjecting
                      the rate on such Lower-Tier Regular Interest to a cap equal to the

                      amount equal to one-half the initial Class Principal Balance
                      of its

                      aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as

                      accrued on each Lower-Tier Regular Interest listed in the second
                      column in
                      the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if
                      any, of (i)
                      the interest rate for each such Lower-Tier Regular Interest

          On

            Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the Middle-Tier Regular
            Interests based on the above-described interest rates,
            provided, however,
            that
            interest that accrues on the Class LT2-Accrual Interest shall be deferred
            in an
            amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Overcollateralized
            Amount for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself
            bear
            interest at the interest rate for the Class LT2-Accrual Interest. An
            amount
            equal to the interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional
            principal
            on the other Middle-Tier Regular Interests having a principal balance in
            the manner described under priority First
            below.

           

          On
            each
            Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses
            shall be
            allocated, among the Middle-Tier Regular Interests in the following order
            of priority:

          First,
            to each
            Middle-Tier Regular Interest with a Corresponding Upper-Tier REMIC Class
            until
            the principal balance of each such Middle-Tier Regular Interest equals
            one-half
            of the Class Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class in the Upper-Tier
            REMIC immediately after such Distribution Date; and

           

          Second,
            to the
            Class LT2-Accrual Interest, any remaining amounts.

           

          On
            each
            Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have
            distributed the Prepayment Premiums passed through with respect to the
            Class
            LT1-F58 Lower-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date to the Class
            LT2-Accrual Interest.

           

          In
            addition to issuing the Middle-Tier Regular Interests, the Middle-Tier
            REMIC
            shall also issue the Class R-2 Interest, which shall be the sole class
            of
            residual interest in the Middle-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates
            shall
            represent ownership of the Class R-2 Interest. 

           

          The
            Upper-Tier REMIC

           

          The
            Upper-Tier REMIC shall issue the following classes of Upper-Tier Regular
            Interests, and each such interest, other than the Class UT-R Interest,
            is hereby
            designated as a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

                        Securities Administrator will treat the Class X Certificateholders’
                        obligation to make payments in respect of Basis Risk Carry
                        Forward Amounts
                        as payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract
                        written by the
                        Class X Certificateholders in favor of each Class of Offered
                        Certificates
                        (other than the Residual Certificates). Such rights of the
                        Class X
                        Certificateholders and Holders of the Offered Certificates
                        (other than the
                        Residual Certificates) shall be treated as held in a portion
                        of the Trust
                        Fund that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E,
                        Part I of
                        subchapter J of the Code.

                      Each
                        of these Certificates will represent not only the ownership
                        of the
                        Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest but also
                        the right to
                        receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or
                        the Supplemental
                        Interest Trust in respect of any Basis Risk Carry Forward
                        Amounts. For
                        federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator
                        will treat a
                        Certificateholder’s right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund
                        Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust as payments made
                        pursuant to an
                        interest rate cap contract written by the Class X
                        Certificateholders.

              interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates shall represent

              be issued as
              a single Certificate in definitive form in a principal amount of $100

              have no interest rate. Amounts received by the Class R Certificates
              shall be
              deemed paid from the Upper-Tier REMIC.

                  (1)

                	
                  The
                    Class P Certificates are entitled to 100% of the Prepayment Premiums
                    received on the Class P Interest on each Distribution
                    Date.

                

        

         

        In
          addition to issuing the Class P Certificates, the Class P REMIC shall issue
          the
          Class RX-P Interest which shall be the sole class of residual interests
          in the
          Class P REMIC. The Class RX Certificates shall evidence ownership of the
          Class
          RX-P Interest.

         

        The
          foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the
          Mortgage
          Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular
          interest, without creating any actual or potential shortfall (other than
          for
          credit losses) to any Trust REMIC regular interest. It is not intended
          that the
          Class R, Class RC or Class RX Certificates be entitled to any cash flow
          pursuant
          to this Agreement except as provided in Section 4.01(a)(ii)(A)(a)
          hereunder.

         

        For
          any
          purpose for which the Pass-Through Rates are calculated, the interest rate
          on
          the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account for the difference
          between the monthly day count convention of the Mortgage Loans and the
          monthly
          day count convention of the regular interests issued by each of the REMICs.
          For
          purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rates for each of the interests
          issued
          by the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Middle-Tier REMIC such rates shall be adjusted
          to
          equal a monthly day count convention based on a 30 day month for each Due
          Period
          and a 360-day year so that the Mortgage Loans and all regular interests
          will be
          using the same monthly day count convention.

         

        The
          minimum denomination for each Class of the Class A Certificates shall be
          $25,000
          initial Certificate Balance, with integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof
          except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different
          amount.
          The minimum denomination for each Class of Class M Certificates shall be
          $100,000 initial Certificate Balance, with integral multiples of $1 in
          excess
          thereof except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different
          amount. The minimum denomination for (a) each Class of the Residual Certificates
          shall be $100 and each shall be a 100% Percentage Interest in each such
          respective Class and (c) the Class P and Class X Certificates shall be
          a 1%
          Percentage Interest in each such respective Class.

            respect to
            which the Mortgagor’s name as it appears on the note does not match the

            of the
            mortgage or if otherwise required, or, if recordation is not so required,
            an
            original or copy of such assumption agreement;

           

          (x) if
            applicable to the files held by the Custodian, a security agreement,
            chattel

          (xi) with
            respect to each Mortgage Loan, the complete Custodial File including
            all items
            as set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement to the extent in the
            possession of the Depositor or the Depositor’s Agents.

           

          The
            Depositor shall deliver or cause each Seller to deliver to the Custodian
            the
            applicable recorded document promptly upon receipt from the respective
            recording
            office but in no event later than 120 days from the Closing Date.

           

          From
            time
            to time, pursuant to the applicable Sale Agreement, the Seller may forward
            to
            the Custodian additional original documents, additional documents evidencing
            an
            assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Mortgage Loan,
            in
            accordance with the terms of the applicable Sale Agreement. All such
            mortgage
            documents held by the Custodian as to each Mortgage Loan shall constitute
            the
“Custodial
            File.”

           

          On
            or
            prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian
            Assignments of Mortgages (except in the case of MERS Loans), in blank,
            for each
            applicable Mortgage Loan. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall provide
            a
            written request to each Seller to submit the Assignments of Mortgage
            for
            recordation, at the Seller’s expense, pursuant to the applicable Sale Agreement.
            The Custodian shall deliver the Assignment of Mortgages to be submitted
            for
            recordation to the applicable Seller upon receipt of a written request
            for
            release in standard and customary form as set forth in Exhibit
            L.

           

          On
            or
            prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian
            and the
            Master Servicer a copy of the Mortgage Loan Schedule in electronic, machine
            readable medium in a form mutually acceptable to the Depositor, the Custodian,
            the Master Servicer and the Trustee.

           

          In
            the
            event that such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation
            to
            the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered to the Custodian
            within the time period and in the manner specified in the applicable
            Sale
            Agreement, the Trustee shall take or cause to be taken such remedial
            actions
            under the Sale Agreement against the applicable Seller as may be permitted
            to be
            taken thereunder, including without limitation, if applicable, the repurchase
            by
            the applicable Seller of such Mortgage Loan. The foregoing repurchase
            remedy
            shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original
            or
            copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public
            recording office within the specified period due to a delay caused by
            the
            recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided
            that the
            applicable Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording
            office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an officer’s certificate
            of an officer of the applicable Seller, confirming that such document
            has been
            accepted for recording.

          Notwithstanding
            anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances
            where the public recording office retains or loses the original Mortgage
            or
            assignment after it has been recorded, the obligations of the Seller
            shall be
            deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery by the Seller to the Custodian
            prior
            to the Closing Date of a copy of such Mortgage or assignment, as the
            case may
            be, certified (such certification to be an original thereof) by the public
            recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original
            thereof.

           

          (c) The
            Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further provisions of
            this
            Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express trust (the
            “Trust”)
            to be
            known, for convenience, as “GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Trust 2006-OH1” and
            Deutsche Bank is hereby appointed as Trustee in accordance with the provisions
            of this Agreement.

           

          (d) It
            is the
            policy and intention of the Trust that none of the Mortgage Loans included
            in
            the Trust is (a) covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection
            Act of
            1994, or (b) considered a “high cost home,” “threshold,” “predatory” or
“covered” loan (excluding “covered home loans” as defined under clause (1) of
            the definition of “covered home loans” in the New Jersey Home Ownership Security
            Act of 2002) under applicable state, federal or local laws.

           

          (e) The
            Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to execute and
            deliver the
            Interest Rate Swap Agreement and to make the representations required
            therein
            and authorizes the Securities Administrator to perform its obligations
            thereunder on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the terms of such
            agreement. The Securities Administrator in its individual capacity shall
            have no
            responsibility for any of the undertakings, agreements or representations
            with
            respect to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, including, without limitation,
            the
            making of any payments thereunder, all of which shall be the obligations
            of the
            Trust. The Securities Administrator shall not be required to take notice
            or be
            deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Swap Disclosure Event (as defined
            in
            the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) unless a Responsible Officer of the
            Securities
            Administrator obtains actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure
            Event or shall have received written notice thereof from the Depositor.
            In the
            absence of such actual knowledge or notice, the Securities Administrator
            may
            conclusively assume that no Swap Disclosure Event has occurred.

           

          Section
            2.02 Acceptance
            by the Custodian of the Mortgage Loans; Assignments to the
            Trustee.
            (a) The
            Custodian acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial
            Certification, subject to any exceptions listed on the exception report
            attached

            such
            other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive
            use
            and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Deutsche Bank,
            as
            Custodian, acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage
            Notes
            in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
            Agencies.

          Prior
            to
            and as a condition to the Closing, the Custodian shall deliver via facsimile
            (with original to follow the next Business Day) to the Depositor an Initial

            Closing Date, certifying receipt of a Mortgage Note and Assignment of
            Mortgage,
            subject to any exceptions listed on the exception report attached thereto,
            for
            each Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall not be responsible for verifying
            the
            validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document in any Custodial
            File.

           

          On
            the
            Closing Date, the Custodian shall ascertain that all documents required
            to be
            delivered to it on or prior to the Closing Date are in its possession,
            subject
            to any exceptions listed on the exception report attached thereto, and
            shall
            deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification, in
            the form
            annexed hereto as Exhibit
            E,
            and
            shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a Document Certification
            and
            Exception Report, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
            F,
            within
            ninety (90) days after the Closing Date to the effect that, as to each
            applicable Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other
            than any
            Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified
            in such
            certification as an exception and not covered by such certification):
            (i) all
            documents required to be delivered to it are in its possession; (ii)
            such
            documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and
            relate
            to such Mortgage Loan; (iii) based on its examination and only as to
            the
            foregoing documents, as to Deutsche Bank, the information set forth in
            items 2,
            8, 33, and 34 of the Mortgage Loan Schedule respecting such Mortgage
            Loan is
            correct; and (iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in
            Section
            2.01 of this Agreement. The Custodian shall not be responsible for verifying
            the
            validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document in any Custodial
            File.

           

          The
            Custodian shall retain possession and custody of each applicable Custodial
            File
            in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
            herein. The
            Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Custodian, upon the execution
            or receipt
            thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting
            the
            Custodial File as come into the possession of the Servicer from time
            to
            time.

           

          The
            Custodian shall notify the Trustee of any Mortgage Loans that do not
            conform to
            the requirements of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 hereof by delivery of the
            Document
            Certification and Exception Report. In its capacity as “Assignee” under the Step
            2 Assignment Agreements, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of
            the Sellers
            to cure or repurchase Mortgage Loans that do not conform to such requirements
            as
            determined in the Custodian’s review as required herein, or based upon
            notification from the Master Servicer (who shall be entitled to rely
            on
            information regarding any such defaults by a Seller that has been provided
            by
            the applicable Servicer for purposes of providing such notification to
            the
            Trustee), by notifying the applicable Seller to correct or cure such
            default.

          (b) In
            its
            capacity as “Assignee” under the Step 2 Assignment Agreements, the Trustee shall
            also enforce the obligation of the Sellers under the Sale Agreements,
            and to the
            extent applicable, of any Servicer under the Servicing Agreements, and
            of the
            Purchaser under the Step 1 Assignment Agreements to cure or repurchase
            Mortgage
            Loans for which there is a defect or a breach of a representation or
            warranty
            thereunder of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge,
            by notifying the applicable party to correct or cure such default. If
            any
            Servicer, any Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, fails or is
            unable to
            correct or cure the defect or breach within the period set forth in the
            applicable agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such
            failure to
            correct or cure. Unless otherwise directed by the Depositor within five
            (5)
            Business Days after notifying the Depositor of such failure by the applicable
            party to correct or cure, the Trustee shall notify such party to repurchase
            the
            Mortgage Loan. If, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice
            by
            such party, such party fails to repurchase such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee
            shall
            notify the Depositor of such failure. The Trustee shall pursue all legal
            remedies available to the Trustee against the Servicers, the Sellers
            and the
            Purchaser, as applicable, under this Agreement, if the Trustee has received
            written notice from the Depositor directing the Trustee to pursue such
            remedies.

           

          Section
            2.03 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, the Securities Administrator
            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.

            The
            Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations for federal income
            tax
            purposes of all interests created hereby. The “Startup
            Day”
for
            purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The “latest possible
            maturity date” is January 25, 2045, which is the 36th
            Distribution Date following the latest Mortgage Loan maturity date. Amounts
            paid
            to the Class X Certificates (prior to any reduction for any Basis Risk
            Payment or Swap Termination Payment) shall be deemed paid from the Upper-Tier
            REMIC to the Class X REMIC in respect of the Class X Interest and from the
            Class X REMIC to the Holders of the Class X Certificates prior to
            distribution of Basis Risk Payments to the Offered Certificates (other
            than the
            Residual Certificates).

           

          Amounts
            distributable to the Class X Certificates (prior to any reduction for
            any Net
            Swap Receipt Amounts, Net Swap Payment Amounts or Swap Termination Payment),
            shall be deemed paid from the Class X REMIC to the Holders of the Class
            X
            Certificates prior to distribution of any Basis Risk Payments to the
            Offered
            Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates).

           

          For
            federal income tax purposes, any amount distributed on the Offered Certificates
            (other than the Residual Certificates) on any such Distribution Date
            in excess
            of their Pass Through Rate, calculated by substituting the REMIC II Net
            WAC Cap
            Rate for the applicable cap in respect of the related Certificates shall
            be
            treated as having been paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the
            Supplemental Interest Trust.

            law);

           

          (d) No
            consent, approval, authorization or order of or registration or filing

            court, administrative agency or other tribunal, and no notice of any
            such
            action, which, in the Depositor’s reasonable judgment, might materially and
            adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations
            under this
            Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement;

           

          (g) The
            Depositor is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any

              18

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          (h) Immediately
            prior to the transfer and assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee
            on the
            Closing Date, the Depositor had good title to, and was the sole owner
            of each
            Mortgage Loan, free of any interest of any other Person, and the Depositor
            has
            transferred all right, title and interest in each Mortgage Loan to the
            Trustee.
            The transfer of each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage as and in the manner
            contemplated by this Agreement is sufficient either (i) fully to transfer
            to the
            Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all right, title,

            to grant
            to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the security
            interest
            referred to in Section 12.04 hereof.

           

          It
            is
            understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants
            set
            forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery of the Custodial Files
            to the
            Custodian, and shall inure to the benefit and to
            Certificateholders.

           

          Section
            2.06 Representations
            and Warranties of Deutsche Bank.
            Deutsche Bank, in its capacity as Custodian, hereby represents and warrants
            to
            the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing
            Date:

           

          (a) The
            Custodian is duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing

            qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement
            to be
            conducted by the Custodian or is otherwise not required under applicable
            law to
            effect such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the
            doing
            business laws of any such state, to the extent necessary to perform any
            of its
            obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms
            thereof.

           

          (b) The
            Custodian has the full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform,
            and
            to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
            and
            has duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Custodian
            the
            execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and this Agreement,
            assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the
            other
            parties thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
            the
            Custodian, enforceable against the Custodian in accordance with its terms,
            except that (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
            insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating
            to
            creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and

            defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
            therefor
            may be brought.

           

          (c) The
            execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Custodian, the consummation
            of
            any other of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the
            fulfillment of or compliance with the terms thereof are in the ordinary
            course
            of business of the Custodian and will not result in a material breach
            of any
            term or provision of the articles of incorporation or by laws of the
            Custodian.

          TRUST
            ACCOUNTS

           

          Section
            3.01 Excess
            Reserve Fund Account; Certificate Account. a)
            The
            Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Excess Reserve
            Fund
            Account to receive any Basis Risk Payment and to secure their limited
            recourse
            obligation to pay to the Holders of the Offered Certificates (other than
            the
            Residual Certificates) any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts (prior to
            using any
            Net Swap Receipt Amounts). On each Distribution Date, the Securities
            Administrator shall deposit the amount of any Basis Risk Payment received
            by it
            for such date into the Excess Reserve Fund Account. For the avoidance
            of doubt,
            any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts shall be paid to the LIBOR Certificates
            first from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and then from the Supplemental
            Interest Trust.

           

          On
            each
            Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount
            on any
            Class or Classes of Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates),
            the Securities Administrator shall (1) withdraw from the Certificate
            Account, to
            the extent of funds available therefor in the Certificate Account, and
            deposit
            in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in Section 4.01(a)(iii)(f),
            the
            lesser of (x) the Class X Distributable Amount (without regard to the
            reduction
            in clause (iii) of the definition thereof with respect to Basis Risk
            Payments)
            (to the extent remaining after the distributions specified in Sections
            4.01(a)(iii)(a)-(f)) and (y) the aggregate Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount
            of
            the Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) for such
            Distribution Date and (2) withdraw from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
            and the
            Certificate Account amounts necessary (including Net Swap Payment Amounts
            or
            Swap Termination Payments (other than amounts received pursuant to an
            ISDA
            Credit Support Annex negotiated between the Trust and the Swap Provider))
            to pay
            to such Class or Classes of Certificates the related Basis Risk Carry
            Forward
            Amount. Such payments shall be allocated to those Classes based upon
            the amount
            of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount owed to each such Class and shall
            be paid in
            the priority set forth in Section 4.01(a)(iii)(g).

           

          The
            Securities Administrator shall account for the Excess Reserve Fund Account
            as an
            asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the
            Code and
            not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement.
            The
            beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are the Class X
            Certificateholders. For all federal income tax purposes, amounts transferred
            to
            the Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be treated as distributions by
            the
            Securities Administrator from the Upper-Tier REMIC to the Class X Interest
            and
            from the Class X REMIC to the Class X Certificates and then contributed
            by the
            Class X Certificateholders to the Excess Reserve Fund Account.

           

          Any
            Basis
            Risk Carry Forward Amounts distributed by the Securities Administrator
            to the
            Holders of the Offered Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates)
            shall
            be accounted for by the Securities Administrator, for federal income
            tax
            purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates
            and
            then to the respective Class or Classes of Offered Certificates (other
            than the
            Residual Certificates) in accordance with the priority of payments in
            this
            Section 3.01. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall account
            for such
            Offered Certificateholders’ rights to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry
            Forward Amounts as rights in a limited recourse interest rate cap contract
            written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of the Holders of
            each such
            Class.

          Notwithstanding
            any provision contained in this Agreement, the Securities Administrator
            shall
            not be required to make any distributions from the Excess Reserve Fund
            Account
            except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.01(a).

           

          (b) The
            Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Certificate
            Account on
            behalf of the Certificateholders. So long as Wells Fargo shall be both
            the
            Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer
            Account
            shall be the same account as, or a sub-account of, the Certificate Account.
            The
            amount remitted by the Servicer to the Master Servicer on each Remittance
            Date
            shall be credited to the Certificate Account within two (2) Business
            Days once
            the amounts are identified as a remittance in connection with the Trust
            and
            reconciled to the reports provided by the Servicer. The Securities Administrator
            shall establish and maintain the Certificate Account on behalf of the
            Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, promptly upon receipt
            on the
            Business Day received, deposit in the Certificate Account and retain
            therein the
            following:

           

          (i) the
            aggregate amount remitted by the Servicers to the Master Servicer pursuant
            to
            the Servicing Agreements;

           

          (ii) any
            Net
            Swap Receipt Amounts or Swap Termination Payments (other than amounts
            received
            pursuant to an ISDA Credit Support Annex negotiated between the Trust
            and the
            Swap Provider) remitted by the Swap Provider; and

           

          (ii) any
            other
            amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the
            Certificate Account.

           

          In
            the
            event that any Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted
            pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, and such Servicer directs
            the
            Master Servicer in writing to withdraw such amount from the Certificate
            Account,
            the Master Servicer shall return such funds to the applicable Servicer.
            All
            funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held by the Securities
            Administrator in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in
            accordance
            with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.01.

           

          (c) From
            time
            to time, the Securities Administrator may also establish any other accounts
            for
            the purposes of carrying out its duties hereunder (including, without
            limitation, any account necessary under the Interest Rate Swap
            Agreement).

           

          Section
            3.02 Investment
            of Funds in the Certificate Account.
            b)
            Other
            than during the Master Servicer Float Period, the Depositor shall direct
            the
            investment of funds held in the Certificate Account in one or more Permitted
            Investments. Absent such direction, the Securities Administrator shall
            invest
            such funds during such period in the Wells Fargo Advantage Prime Investment
            Money Market Fund so long as such fund is a Permitted Investment. The
            Securities
            Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to) invest funds in the
            Certificate Account during the Master Servicer Float Period (for purposes
            of
            this Section 3.02, such Account is referred to as an “Investment
            Account”),
            in
            one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount,
            and
            maturing, unless payable on demand, or maturing on such Distribution
            Date, in
            the case of an investment that is an obligation of Wells Fargo, no later
            than
            the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are
            required
            to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement. All such
            Permitted
            Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
            investment
            of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Securities
            Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to sole
            possession
            over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing
            any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator
            or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer
            title
            to such investment to the Securities Administrator. In the event amounts
            on
            deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted
            Investment payable on demand, the Securities Administrator may:

                    (x)

                  	
                    consistent
                      with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that
                      payment
                      thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may
                      otherwise
                      mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all
                      amounts then
                      payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn
                      on such
                      date; and

                  

          

           

          
            	 	
                    (y)

                  	
                    demand
                      payment of all amounts due thereunder that such Permitted Investment
                      would
                      not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
                      on
                      deposit in the Investment Account.

                  

          

           

          (b) All
            income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
            Certificate Account held by the Securities Administrator during the Master
            Servicer Float Period shall be subject to the Securities Administrator’s
            withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 10.05.

           

          (c) Except
            as
            otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs
            in the
            making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default
            occurs
            in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the
            Securities
            Administrator shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce
            such
            payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
            appropriate
            proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor shall be liable
            to the
            Trust for any loss on any investment of funds in the Certificate Account
            other
            than during the Master Servicer Float Period and the Securities Administrator
            shall be liable to the Trust for any such loss on any funds it has invested
            under this Section 3.02 only during the Master Servicer Float Period,
            and the
            Depositor or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, shall
            deposit
            funds in the amount of such loss in the Certificate Account promptly
            after such
            loss is incurred.

           

          (d) The
            Securities Administrator or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional
            compensation that could be deemed to be in the Securities Administrator’s
            economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator,
            shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect
            to certain
            of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions
            in
            certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain
            Permitted Investments. Such compensation is not payable or reimbursable
            under
            Section 8.06 of this Agreement.

          (e) In
            order
            to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to banking institutions,
            including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money
            laundering, Deutsche Bank as Trustee and as Custodian is required to

            verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities
            which
            maintain a business relationship with Deutsche Bank. Accordingly, each
            of the
            parties agrees to provide to Deutsche Bank upon its request from time
            to time

            Applied Realized Loss Amounts shall be allocated to the most junior Class
            of
            Subordinate Certificates then outstanding in reduction of the Class Principal
            Balance thereof. After the aggregate Class Principal Balances of the
            Subordinate
            Certificates has been reduced to zero, any Applied Loss Amounts shall
            be
            allocated first to the Class A-3 Certificates in reduction of the Class
            Principal Balance thereof, and then to the Class A-2 Certificates in
            reduction
            of the Class Principal Balance thereof. In the event Applied Realized
            Loss
            Amounts are allocated to any Class of Certificates, their Class Principal
            Balance shall be reduced by the amount so allocated and no funds shall
            be
            distributed with respect to the written down amounts or with respect
            to interest
            or Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts on the written down amounts on that
            Distribution Date or any future Distribution Dates, even if funds are
            otherwise
            available therefor.

          Notwithstanding
            the foregoing, the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Subordinate
            Certificates that has been previously reduced by Applied Realized Loss
            Amounts
            shall be increased, in the order of seniority, by the amount of the Subsequent
            Recoveries (but not in excess of the Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated
            to
            the applicable Class of Subordinate Certificates).

           

          Section
            4.04 Certain
            Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
            LIBOR
            shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with
            the
            definition of “LIBOR.”
Until
            all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities Administrator
            will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose
            of
            determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The
            Securities
            Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks (after consultation
            with the Depositor). Each “Reference
            Bank”
shall
            be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
            international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by,
            or be
            under common control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have
            an
            established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should
            be
            unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Securities Administrator
            should
            terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator
            shall
            promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after
            consultation with the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall
            have no
            liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any
            Reference
            Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain
            at least
            four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable
            control.

           

          The
            Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest
            Accrual
            Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each LIBOR
            Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding
            on the
            basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding
            to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in
            the
            Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall not have any
            liability
            or responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good faith
            reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to
            determine
            the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided
            for
            in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of
            LIBOR and
            each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities
            Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
            and
            binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

           

          Section
            4.05  Supplemental
            Interest Trust.
            On the
            Closing Date, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
            establish and maintain a separate non-interest bearing trust (the “Supplemental
            Interest Trust”)
            to
            which the Securities Administrator will transfer and assign the Interest
            Rate
            Swap Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible
            Account,
            and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and
            shall
            not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation,
            other
            moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this
            Agreement.

           

          On
            any
            Distribution Date, Swap Termination Payments, Net Swap Payment Amounts
            owed to
            the
            Swap
            Provider and Net Swap Receipt Amounts for that Distribution Date will
            be
            deposited into the Supplemental Interest Trust. Funds in the Supplemental
            Interest Trust will be distributed in the following order of
            priority:

           

          
            
               

            

            
              30

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          (i) to
            the
            Swap Provider, the sum of (x) all Net Swap Payment Amounts and (y) any
            Swap
            Termination Payment, other than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment,
            to the
            Swap Provider, if any, owed for that Distribution Date;

           

          (ii) to
            the
            Certificateholders, to pay Accrued Certificate Interest and, if applicable,
            any
            Unpaid Interest Amounts pursuant to Section 4.01(i), to the extent unpaid
            from
            other Available Funds;

           

          (iii) to
            the
            Certificateholders, to pay principal pursuant to Section 4.01(ii)(A)
            and (B),
            but only to the extent necessary to maintain the Overcollateralized Amount
            at
            the Specified Overcollateralized Amount, after giving effect to payments
            and
            distributions from other Available Funds;

           

          (iv) to
            the
            Certificateholders, to pay Unpaid Interest Amounts and Basis Risk Carry
            Forward
            Amounts pursuant to Section 4.01(iii) (a) through (g), to the extent
            unpaid from
            other Available Funds (including funds on deposit in the Excess Reserve
            Fund
            Account);

           

          (v) to
            the
            Swap Provider, any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap
            Provider
            for that Distribution Date; and

           

          (vi) to
            the
            holders of the Class X Certificates, any remaining amounts.

           

          Upon
            termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Supplemental Interest
            Trust shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this
            Section
            4.05.

           

          The
            Securities Administrator shall account for the Supplemental Interest
            Trust as an
            asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the
            Code and
            not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement.
            The
            Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an “outside reserve fund” for federal
            income tax purposes. The beneficial owners of the Supplemental Interest
            Trust
            are the Class X Certificateholders.

           

          Section
            4.06 Trust’s
            Obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement; Replacement and Termination
            of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

           

          (a) Upon
            the
            Securities Administrator obtaining actual knowledge of the rating of
            the Swap
            Provider falling below the Approved Ratings Threshold (as defined in
            the
            Interest Rate Swap Agreement), the Securities Administrator, acting at
            the
            written direction of the Depositor, shall set up an account in accordance
            with
            Section 3.01(c) to hold cash or other eligible investments pledged under
            the
            ISDA Credit Support Annex. Any cash or other eligible investments pledged
            under
            the ISDA Credit Support Annex shall not be part of the Distribution Account,
            the
            Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust unless
            they are
            applied in accordance with the ISDA Credit Support Annex to make a payment
            due
            to the Trust pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

           

          
            
               

            

            
              31

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          (b) Upon
            the
            Securities Administrator obtaining actual knowledge of an Event of Default
            (as
            defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) or Termination Event (as
            defined in
            the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) for which the Trust has the right to
            designate
            an Early Termination Date (as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement),
            the
            Securities Administrator will act at the written direction of the Depositor
            as
            to whether it will designate an Early Termination Date; provided,
            however,
            that
            the Trust shall provide written notice to each Rating Agency following
            the Event
            of Default or Termination Event. Upon the termination of the Interest
            Rate Swap
            Agreement under the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.06(b),
            the
            Trust shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce the rights of
            the Trust
            and the Trustee thereunder as may be permitted by the terms of the Interest
            Rate
            Swap Agreement and consistent with the terms hereof, and shall apply
            the
            proceeds of any such efforts to enter into a replacement interest rate
            swap
            agreement with another swap provider. To the extent such replacement
            interest
            rate swap agreement can be entered into, any termination payments received
            by
            the Trust in respect of the terminated interest rate swap agreement shall
            be
            used, to the extent necessary, by the Trust for the purpose of entering
            into
            such replacement interest rate swap agreement.

           

          (c) Notwithstanding
            any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that the Interest
            Rate Swap
            Agreement is terminated and the Trust enters into a replacement interest
            rate
            swap agreement and the Trust is entitled to receive a payment from a
            replacement
            swap provider, the Securities Administrator shall direct the replacement
            swap
            provider to make such payment (the “Replacement Swap Provider Payment”) to the
            Supplemental Interest Trust. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall pay
            to the
            Swap Provider that is being replaced the lesser of (x) the amount so
            received
            and (y) any Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider (to the
            extent
            not already paid by the Trust) immediately upon receipt of the Replacement
            Swap
            Provider Payment, regardless of whether the date of receipt thereof is
            a
            Distribution Date; provided that to the extent that the Replacement Swap
            Provider Payment is less than the Swap Termination Payment owed to the
            Swap
            Provider, any remaining amounts will be paid to the Swap Provider on
            the
            subsequent Distribution Date (unless the Replacement Swap Provider Payment
            is
            paid to the Swap Provider on a Distribution Date, in which case such
            remaining
            amounts will be paid on such Distribution Date) in accordance with the
            priority
            of payments described in Section 4.05 of this Agreement. For the avoidance
            of
            doubt, the parties agree that the Swap Provider shall have first priority
            to any
            Replacement Swap Provider Payment over the payment by the Trust to
            Certificateholders, any Servicer, the Custodian, the Master Servicer,
            the
            Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any other Person.

          Subject
            to Section 11.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates,
            on each
            Distribution Date the Securities Administrator 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

            registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
            as
            herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate,
            the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator. Whenever
            any
            Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator
            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 Securities
            Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
            authorized in writing. In the event, the Depositor or an Affiliate transfers
            the
            Class X Certificates, or a portion thereof, to another Affiliate, it
            shall
            notify the Securities Administrator in writing of the affiliated status
            of the
            transferee. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability regarding
            the
            lack of notice with respect thereto.

           

          
            
               

            

            
              33

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          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 Securities Administrator
            in
            accordance with the Securities Administrator’s customary
            procedures.

           

          (b) No
            transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer
            is made
            pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
            Act and any
            applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements
            under said Act and such state securities laws. Except with respect to
            (i) the
            initial transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates on the Closing
            Date,
            (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer
            or
            the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates
            to
            the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, in the event that a
            transfer of
            a Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate is to be made in
            reliance
            upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to
            assure
            compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder
            desiring
            to effect such transfer shall certify to the Securities Administrator
            in writing
            the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set forth
            in
Exhibit
            H
            (the
“Transferor
            Certificate”)
            and
            either (i) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator a
            letter in
            substantially the form of Exhibit
            I-1
            (the
“Rule
            144A Letter”)
            or
            (ii) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator at the
            expense of
            the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without
            registration under the Securities Act. In the event that a transfer of
            a Private
            Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate is to be made in reliance
            upon an
            exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance
            with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring
            to effect
            such transfer will be deemed to have made as of the transfer date each
            of the
            certifications set forth in the Transferor Certificate in respect of
            such
            Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made as of the
            transfer
            date each of the certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Letter in
            respect of
            such Certificate, in each case as if such Certificate were evidenced
            by a
            Physical Certificate. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a
            Private
            Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
            information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans
            and such
            other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
            set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without
            registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration
            exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator
            shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information
            referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor
            such
            information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other
            matters
            regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to
            meet its
            obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate
            desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
            the
            Trustee and the Depositor and each 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.

           

          
            
               

            

            
              34

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          Except
            with respect to (i) the initial transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates
            on the Closing Date, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates
            to
            the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee or (iii) a transfer of the Class X
            or Class P
            Certificates to the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, no transfer
            of
            an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities
            Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the
            transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
            satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate
            is a
            Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
            only by the Securities Administrator’s receipt of a representation letter from
            the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
            I-2),
            to the
            effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement
            subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the
            Code or a
            plan subject to any Federal, state or local law (“Similar
            Law”)
            materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or 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 (each such investor
            a
“Plan”),
            (ii)
            in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (other than a Residual
            Certificate) that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting,
            a
            representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that 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 (“PTCE”)
            95-60)
            and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates satisfy the requirements
            for exemptive relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii)
            in the case
            of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the
            name of an
            employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or arrangement
            subject
            to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
            enactments), or a plan subject to Similar Law, 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
            Securities Administrator and the Depositor, which Opinion of Counsel
            shall not
            be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
            or the
            Trust Fund, addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor,
            to the
            effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate
            will
            not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within
            the
            meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and will
            not
            subject the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any other servicer
            or
            the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those expressly
            undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the
            preceding
            sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not
            a Private
            Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation
            letter
            referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation
            shall be deemed to have been made to the Securities Administrator by
            the
            transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the
            ERISA-Restricted Certificates. In the event that such representation
            is
            violated, or any attempt is made to transfer to a plan or arrangement
            subject to
            Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a
            plan
            subject to Similar Law, or a person acting on behalf of any such plan
            or
            arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement, without
            such
            Opinion of Counsel, such attempted transfer or acquisition shall be void
            and of
            no effect.

           

          
            
               

            

            
              35

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          During
            the period the Supplemental Interest Trust is in effect, no transfer
            of an
            ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate shall be made unless the Securities
            Administrator shall have received either a representation from the transferee
            of
            such ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate acceptable to and in form and
            substance
            satisfactory to the Securities Administrator to the effect that such
            transferee
            is not a Plan, or (ii) a representation that the purchase and holding
            of the
            ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive
            relief
            under the statutory exemption for non-fiduciary service providers under
            Section
            408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, PTCE 84-14,
            PTCE 90-1,
            PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable exemption,
            or in the
            case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, will not constitute a non-exempt
            violation of such Similar Law. In the event such a representation letter
            is not
            delivered, one of the foregoing representations, as appropriate, shall
            be deemed
            to have been made by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s)
            acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Swap Certificate. In the event that
            such
            representation is violated, such transfer or acquisition shall be void
            and of no
            effect. The Residual Certificates may not be sold to any employee benefit
            plan
            subject to Title I of ERISA, any plan subject to Section 4975 of the
            Code, or
            any plan subject to any Similar Law or any person investing on behalf
            of or with
            plan assets of such plan.

           

          The
            Securities Administrator shall have no duty to monitor transfers of beneficial
            interests in any Book-Entry Certificate and shall not be under liability
            to any
            Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate
            that
            is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments
            due
            on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action
            with
            respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long
            as the
            transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance
            with the
            foregoing requirements.

           

          (c) Each
            Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
            shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
            to
            have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of
            each
            Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are
            expressly
            subject to the following provisions:

           

          (i) Each
            Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
            shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities
            Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
            Transferee;

           

          (ii) No
            Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the
            Closing
            Date or thereafter transferred, and the Securities Administrator shall
            not
            register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition
            to the
            Certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator
            under
            subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall have been
            furnished
            with an affidavit (a “Transfer
            Affidavit”)
            of the
            initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto
            as
Exhibit
            G;

           

          (iii) Each
            Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
            shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person
            to whom
            such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
            Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom
            such
            Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
            Transfer of
            a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest
            in a
            Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
            in a
            Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that
            such
            Person is not a Permitted Transferee;

           

          
            
               

            

            
              36

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          (iv) Any
            attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
            Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall
            be
            absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee.
            If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate
            in
            violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding
            Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
            retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
            Certificate. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall
            have any
            liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
            Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
            Section
            5.02(c) 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. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not
            obligated
            to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact
            not a
            Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent
            time
            as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on
            such
            Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments
            so
            recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered
            by the
            Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of
            such
            Certificate; and

           

          (v) The
            Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt
            of written
            request from the Securities Administrator, all information necessary
            to compute
            any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer
            of
            an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is
            not a
            Permitted Transferee.

           

          The
            restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
            Section
            5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend
            on a
            Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
            after
            delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel, which
            Opinion
            of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, or
            the
            Securities Administrator, to the effect that the elimination of such
            restrictions will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
            at any
            time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition
            of any
            tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person
            holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
            hereby
            consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion
            of
            Counsel furnished to the Securities Administrator, is reasonably necessary
            (a)
            to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in,
            a
            Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a
            Person
            that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to
            compel the
            Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is
            not a
            Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.

           

          (d) The
            preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to
            above in
            this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense
            of the
            parties to such transfers.

           

          
            
               

            

            
              37

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          (e) 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 Securities Administrator
            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 and the Securities Administrator
            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 Securities Administrator
            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 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 Securities Administrator
            in
            writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly
            discharge
            its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities Administrator
            or the
            Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) the Depositor
            notifies the Depository of its intent to terminate the book entry system
            through
            the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests
            in the
            Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Securities
            Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
            of
            the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive,
            fully
            registered Certificates (the “Definitive
            Certificates”)
            to
            Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities
            Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository,
            accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration,
            the
            Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither
            the
            Depositor nor the Securities Administrator 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 Depositor shall provide
            the
            Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with
            respect
            to such Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall
            recognize
            the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder;
            provided
            that the
            Securities Administrator 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.

           

          (f) Each
            Private Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
            or
            exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and
            accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments)
            or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, duly executed
            by
            the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each
            Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
            exchange
            shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Securities Administrator
            in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be
            made for
            any registration of transfer or exchange of Private Certificates, but
            the
            Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
            any
            tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
            transfer
            or exchange of Private Certificates.

          Section
            5.03 Mutilated,
            Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
            If (a)
            any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator,
            or the
            Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
            destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered
            to the
            Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator such security
            or
            indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then,
            in the
            absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate
            has been
            acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall
            execute,
            authenticate 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 5.03, the Securities Administrator may require the
            payment of
            a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may
            be
            imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
            and
            expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement
            Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 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
            5.04 Persons
            Deemed Owners.
            The
            Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and any agent of
            the
            Depositor, the Securities Administrator 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 none of the Trustee, the Securities
            Administrator, the Depositor or any agent of the Depositor, the Securities
            Administrator or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
            contrary.

           

          Section
            5.05 Access
            to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.
            If
            three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
            from
            the Securities Administrator, (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 a Servicer shall request such information in writing from
            the
            Securities Administrator, then the Securities Administrator shall, within
            ten
            (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor,
            such Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most
            recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the
            Securities
            Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by
            receiving
            and holding a Certificate, agree that the Securities Administrator 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
            5.06 Maintenance
            of Office or Agency.
            The
            Securities Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its
            expense
            an office or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered
            for
            registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities Administrator initially
            designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Securities
            Administrator will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders
            of any
            change in such location of any such office or agency.

          THE
            DEPOSITOR

           

          Section
            6.01 Liabilities
            of the Depositor.
            The
            Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of
            the
            obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken
            by it
            herein.

           

          Section
            6.02 Merger
            or Consolidation of the Depositor.
            The
            Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises
            as a
            corporation or federally chartered savings bank, as the case may be,
            under the
            laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof
            and
            will each 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 respective 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, as the case may be, 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
            6.03 Limitation
            on Liability of the Depositor and Others.
            Neither
            the Depositor nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
            shall be
            under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or
            for
            refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
            Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
            however,
            that
            this provision shall not protect the 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 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 respective 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 (or direct
            the
            Trustee to undertake such actions for the benefit of the Certificateholders)
            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

          Section
            7.01 Events
            of Default.
            If an
            Event of Default described in any Servicing Agreement shall occur with
            respect
            to the related Servicer then, and in each and every such case, so long
            as such
            Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer may,
            or at
            the direction of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting
            Rights
            the Master Servicer shall, by notice in writing to the applicable Servicer
            (with
            a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations
            of
            such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement and in and to
            the
            Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. The Holders of Certificates
            evidencing
            at least 66% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected by a Event
            of Default
            may waive such Event of Default; provided,
            however,
            that
            (a) an Event of Default with respect to any Servicer’s obligation to make
            Advances may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Certificates
            affected
            by such Event of Default and (b) no such waiver is permitted that would
            materially adversely affect any non consenting Certificateholder. On
            and after
            the receipt by such Servicer of such written notice of termination, all
            authority and power of such Servicer hereunder or under the applicable
            Servicing
            Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall
            pass
            to and be vested in the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer is hereby
            authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Servicer,
            as
            attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments,
            and
            to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate
            to effect
            the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer
            and
            endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents,
            or
            otherwise.

           

          Section

            Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor.
            Within
            120 days after the Master Servicer gives, and the applicable Servicer
            receives a
            notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall,
            subject to and to the extent provided in Section 7.03, and subject to
            the rights
            of the Master Servicer to appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to this
            Section
            7.02, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under
            the
            applicable Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
            for
            herein and in such Servicing Agreement and shall be subject to all the
            responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
            Servicer
            by the terms and provisions of such Servicing Agreement and applicable
            law
            including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to such Servicing
            Agreement
            (it being understood and agreed that if any Servicer fails to make an
            Advance,
            the Master Servicer shall do so unless a determination has been made
            that such
            Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance or a
            Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance). 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 Collection Account if the Servicer
            had
            continued to act under the Servicing Agreement including, if the Servicer
            was
            receiving the Servicing Fee at the Servicing Fee Rate set forth in the
            Servicing
            Agreement (as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to
            the
            related Mortgage Loans) such Servicing Fee and the income on investments
            or gain
            related to the Collection Account.

          Notwithstanding
            the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so
            act, or
            shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant
            to
            the applicable Servicing Agreement, or if it is otherwise unable to so
            act, or,
            at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of
            the
            Voting Rights, 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 such Servicer under the applicable
            Servicing Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the
            responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such Servicer. No such appointment
            of
            a successor to a Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the Depositor
            shall
            have consented thereto. Any successor to such 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 $25,000,000, which is willing to service
            the
            Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the
            Master
            Servicer an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing
            an
            assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
            obligations and liabilities of such terminated Servicer, (other than
            liabilities
            of such terminated Servicer incurred prior to termination of such Servicer
            under
            Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to
            this
            Agreement; provided
            that
            each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in
            effect
            immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified
            or
            reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment
            of a
            successor to a Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer, unless the Master
            Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to this
            Section
            7.02, 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, the
            Depositor and such successor shall agree; provided,
            however,
            that no
            such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee Rate and amounts
            paid
            to the Servicer from investments. 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 to a 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
            the predecessor Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering
            or
            providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.

           

          Any
            successor Servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such change
            of
            Servicer, in accordance with applicable federal and state law, and shall,
            during
            the term of its service as servicer, maintain in force the policy or
            policies
            that each Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to the applicable
            Servicing
            Agreement.

          Notwithstanding
            the foregoing, the Master Servicer may not terminate a Servicer without
            cause.

            thereafter
            pursuant to Section 7.02.

            Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders
            and
            to each Rating Agency.

           

          (b) Promptly

            of each
            such Event of Default hereunder known to the Securities Administrator,

          Section
            8.01 Duties
            of the Trustee and the Custodian.
            The
            Trustee, before the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default
            and after
            the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default that may have occurred,
            shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
            set forth in this Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Default
            has
            occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the
            rights and
            powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care
            and skill
            in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
            circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

           

          The
            Trustee and the Custodian, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
            statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments
            furnished
            to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, that are specifically
            required
            to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine
            them
            to determine whether on their face they are in the form required by this
            Agreement, or with respect to the documents in the respective Custodial
            Files
            whether they satisfy the review criteria set forth in Section 2.02. Neither
            the
            Trustee nor the Custodian shall be responsible for the accuracy or content
            of
            any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order
            or
            other instrument.

           

          No
            provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
            or the
            Custodian from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
            failure
            to act or its own bad faith or willful misfeasance; provided,
            however,

          (a) unless
            a
            Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the
            Trustee
            obtains actual knowledge has occurred and is continuing, the duties and
            obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
            provisions
            of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
            of
            the duties and obligations specifically set forth in this Agreement,
            no implied
            covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
            Trustee,
            and the 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
            is finally
            proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
            and

           

          (c) the
            Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered,
            or
            omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
            of the
            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.

            Except
            as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

           

          (a) the
            Trustee and the Custodian may request and rely upon and shall be protected
            in
            acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate,
            Opinion of Counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,

            shall
            have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any
            signature
            of any such party or parties;

          (c) the
            Trustee and the Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
            or

            or
            liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation
            is,
            in the opinion of the Trustee, not assured to the Trustee by the security
            afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
            indemnity
            satisfactory to the Trustee against such cost, expense or liability as
            a
            condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every
            such
            examination shall be paid by the applicable Servicer or, if paid by the
            Trustee,
            shall be repaid by the Servicer upon demand from the applicable Servicer’s own

            and
            the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
            on the
            part of any agents, accountants or attorneys appointed with due care
            by it
            hereunder;

           

          (f) neither
            the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be required to risk or expend its
            own funds

            of its
            duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if
            it shall
            have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
            indemnity
            satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to
            it;

           

          (g) the
            Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant
            to
            this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security);

            shall not
            be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default or
            an Event of
            Default, until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
            written
            notice thereof;

           

          (i) the
            Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts, rights
            or
            powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend
            any
            litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction
            of
            any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to this Agreement, unless such
            Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security
            or
            indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
            liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

            right
            of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement
            shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable
            for
            other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of
            such
            act;

           

          (k) the
            Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of
            the
            execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or the powers granted
            hereunder;

           

          (l) notwithstanding
            anything to the contrary in any Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall
            not
            consent to a Servicer’s request of assigning the Servicing Agreement or the
            servicing rights thereunder to any other party;

           

          (m) the
            Trustee and the Custodian shall not be accountable and shall have no
            liability
            for any acts or omissions by the Securities Administrator, the Master
            Servicer
            or other party hereto;

          (n) in
            no

            be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages; and

           

          (o) the
            Securities Administrator is authorized and directed to execute the Interest
            Rate
            Swap Agreement.

           

          Section
            8.04 Trustee
            and Custodian Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
            The
            recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
            statements of the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Custodian
            assumes
            any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee and the Custodian
            make no
            representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or
            of the
            Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. Neither the
            Trustee
            nor the Custodian shall be accountable for the use or application by
            the
            Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Securities Administrator
            of
            any funds paid to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or
            the
            Securities Administrator in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited
            in or
            withdrawn from the Collection Account or the Certificate Account by the
            Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, or the Securities
            Administrator.

           

          The
            Trustee shall have no responsibility (i) for filing or recording any
            financing
            or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise
            perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted
            to
            it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become and remains the successor
            Master Servicer) (ii) to see to any insurance (unless the Trustee shall
            have
            become the successor Master Servicer), or (iii) to confirm or verify
            the
            contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicers, Securities
            Administrator or Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
            this
            Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed
            or
            presented by the proper party or parties.

           

          The
            Securities Administrator executes the Certificates not in its individual
            capacity but solely as Securities Administrator of the Trust Fund created
            by
            this Agreement, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred
            and vested
            in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made
            on the
            part of the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust Fund in the
            Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement
            by
            the Securities Administrator but is made and intended for the purpose
            of binding
            only the Trust Fund.

           

          Section
            8.05 Trustee
            May Own Certificates.
            The
            Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
            or pledgee
            of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not
            the
            Trustee.

           

          Section
            8.06 Trustee’s
            Fees and Expenses.
            As
            compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Trustee shall
            be paid
            an on-going monthly or annual fee, as applicable, by the Securities
            Administrator pursuant to a separate agreement. The Trustee shall have
            no lien
            on the Trust Fund for the payment of such fees. The Trustee shall be
            entitled to
            be reimbursed, from funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, amounts
            sufficient to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and any director,
            officer,
            employee, or agent of the Trustee against any loss, liability, or expense
            (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any claim or
            legal action relating to

          (a) this
            Agreement,

           

          (b) the
            Certificates, or

           

          (c) the
            performance of any of the Trustee’s duties under this Agreement,

           

          other
            than any loss, liability, or expense (i) resulting from any breach of
            any
            Servicer’s obligations in connection with its Servicing Agreement for which that
            Servicer has performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant
            to
            Servicing Agreement, (ii) resulting from any breach of the Seller’s obligations
            in connection with any Sale Agreement for which it has performed its
            obligation
            to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to the Sale Agreement, (iii) resulting
            from
            any breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder for which the Master
            Servicer has performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant
            to this
            Agreement, or (iv) incurred because of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
            or
            negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties under this
            Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement
            or the
            resignation or removal of the Trustee under this Agreement. Without limiting
            the
            foregoing, except for any expense, disbursement or advance arising from
            the
            Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misfeasance, the Trust Fund shall
            pay
            or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements,
            and
            advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement
            with
            respect to:

           

          (A) the
            reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its counsel not
            associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates,
            and

           

          (B) the
            reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant,
            engineer
            or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent
            that
            the Trustee must engage them to perform services under this
            Agreement.

           

          Except
            as
            otherwise provided in this Agreement, 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 under this Agreement
            or
            for any other expenses.

           

          Section
            8.07 Eligibility
            Requirements for the Trustee.
            The
            Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation, banking association
            or
            other 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 the appointment
            of which would not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce or withdraw
            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 8.07 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 this
            Section 8.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and
            with the
            effect specified in Section 8.08. The entity serving as Trustee may have
            normal
            banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates
            or with
            the Servicer and its affiliates; provided,
            however,
            that
            such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Depositor or of any Servicer
            other
            than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.

          Section
            8.08 Resignation
            and Removal of the 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 Master
            Servicer,
            the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency not less than sixty
            (60)
            days before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section
            8.09,
            such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee
            in
            accordance with Section 8.09 meeting the qualifications set forth in
            Section
            8.07. 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 (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section
            8.07
            and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor,
            (ii)
            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, (iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund
            by any
            state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and (B) the imposition
            of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee,
            or (iv)
            the Trustee fails to comply with its obligations under the last sentence
            of
            Section 9.04 in the preceding paragraph, Section 8.10 or Article XIII
            and such
            failure is not remedied within the lesser of ten (10) calendar days or
            such
            period in which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be timely filed
            (without
            taking into account any extensions), then, in the case of clauses (i)
            through
            (iv), the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
            by
            written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered
            to the
            Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee.

           

          The
            Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights may
            at any
            time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument
            or
            instruments, in duplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys
            in fact
            duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered to the
            Trustee so
            removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The successor
            trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the
            Trustee.

           

          Any

            trustee
            pursuant to this Section 8.08 shall become effective upon acceptance
            of

          Section
            8.09 Successor
            Trustee.
            Any
            successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 shall execute,
            acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee
            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 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
            8.09
            unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is eligible
            under
            Section 8.07 and its appointment does not adversely affect the then current
            rating of the Certificates and has provided to the Depositor in writing
            and in
            form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information
            reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting
            obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement
            Trustee.

           

          Upon
            acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
            Section
            8.09, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
            hereunder to all Holders of Certificates and the Custodian. 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

            Any
            corporation into which the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, 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
            or
            the Custodian, as applicable, shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding
            to
            the business of the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall be
            the
            successor of the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, hereunder;
            provided
            that
            such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.07 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
            8.11 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 Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver
            all
            instruments to appoint one or more Persons 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 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 8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights
            and
            trusts as the Trustee may consider appropriate. No co-trustee or separate
            trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
            as a
            successor trustee under Section 8.09 and no notice to Certificateholders
            of the
            appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
            Section 8.09.

           

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

           

          
            
               

            

            
              49

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          (a) To
            the
            extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.11, all
            rights,
            powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee,
            except for
            the obligation of the Trustee (as successor Master Servicer) under this
            Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master 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 Master 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 because 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
            Trust
            Fund, 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 VIII. 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
            Master Servicer and the Depositor.

           

          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.

            8.12 Tax

            below, imposed on any Trust REMIC before its termination when and as
            the same
            shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Securities
            Administrator or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such
            tax in
            appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Securities Administrator
            from

            any Trust
            REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to
            any tax
            matter or controversy involving it.

           

          The
            Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class RC, Class R and

            taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable
            year of
            each Trust REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental
            taxing
            agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of
            any Trust
            REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to
            any tax
            matter or controversy involving it.

           

          The
            Securities Administrator shall treat the rights of the Class X
            Certificateholders to receive amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account
            and
            Supplemental Interest Trust (subject to the obligation to pay Basis Risk
            Carry
            Forward Amounts) and the rights of the Holders of the Offered Certificates
            (other than the Residual Certificates) to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward
            Amounts (as calculated in the Preliminary Statement) as the beneficial
            ownership
            interests in a grantor trust and not as an obligations of any REMIC created
            hereunder, for federal income tax purposes. The Securities Administrator
            shall
            file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041
            or such
            other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished,
            to
            the Class X Certificateholders and the Holders of the Offered Certificates
            (other than the Residual Certificates), the respective amounts described
            above
            that are received, in the time or times and in the manner required by
            the
            Code.

          To
            enable
            the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement,
            the
            Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator within ten (10)
            days
            after the Closing Date all information or data that the Securities Administrator
            requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to
            the
            valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including the price,
            yield,
            prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of the Certificates and
            the
            Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide information to
            the
            Securities Administrator concerning the value, if any, to each Class
            of
            Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts
            from the
            Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust. Thereafter,
            the
            Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator promptly upon
            written
            request therefor any additional information or data that the Securities
            Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the
            Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement.
            The
            Depositor hereby indemnifies the Securities Administrator for any losses,
            liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Securities Administrator
            arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Securities Administrator
            that
            result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be
            provided,
            accurate information or data to the Securities Administrator on a timely
            basis.

           

          If
            any
            tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any Trust REMIC as defined in
            Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of
            the Lower-Tier REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any
            contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section
            860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including any minimum
            tax
            imposed on any Trust REMIC pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the
            California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided
            for
            herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Master Servicer, the Trustee
            or the
            Securities Administrator, as applicable if such tax arises out of or
            results
            from negligence of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities
            Administrator, as applicable in the performance of any of its obligations
            under
            this Agreement, (ii) a Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax,
            and
            otherwise if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer
            of
            any of its obligations under the applicable Servicing Agreement, (iii)
            a Seller
            if such tax arises out of or results from the Seller’s obligation to repurchase
            a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the applicable Sale Agreement or (iv) in
            all other
            cases, or if the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
            the
            Servicer or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding
            clause
            (i), (ii), or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise
            to be
            distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section
            4.01(a).

           

          For
            as
            long as each Trust REMIC shall exist, the Securities Administrator shall
            act as
            specifically required herein, and the Securities Administrator shall
            comply with
            any directions of the Depositor or a Servicer stating that such directions
            are
            being given to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Securities
            Administrator shall not (a) sell or authorize the sale of all or any
            portion of
            the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless
            such
            sale is as a result of a purchase or repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
            pursuant
            to this Agreement or (b) accept any contribution to any Trust REMIC after
            the
            Startup Day without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel that such action
            described
            in clause (a) or (b) will not result in the imposition of a tax on any
            Trust
            REMIC or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
            that
            any Certificates are outstanding.

            Classification of the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Interest Rate
            Swap
            Agreement.
            For
            federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator shall treat
            the Excess
            Reserve Fund Account, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Supplemental
            Interest Trust as beneficially owned by the holder of the Class X Certificates
            and shall treat such portion of the Trust Fund as a grantor trust under
            subpart
            E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code. The Securities Administrator shall
            treat
            the rights of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive payments of
            Basis Risk
            Carry Forward Amounts (excluding any such amounts attributable to any
            excess of
            the REMIC II Net WAC Cap Rate over the Net WAC Cap Rate) from the Excess
            Reserve
            Fund Account and the Supplemental Interest Trust as rights to receive
            payments
            under an interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders
            in
            favor of each Class. Accordingly, each Class of LIBOR Certificates will
            comprise
            two components—a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC and an interest in an
            interest rate cap contract, and the Class X Certificates will be comprised
            of
            four components—a regular interest in the Class X REMIC, an interest in the
            Interest Rate Swap Agreement, ownership of the Supplemental Interest
            Trust and
            ownership of the Excess Reserve Fund Account subject to the obligation
            to pay
            Basis Risk Cary Forward Amounts, Net Swap Payment Amounts and Swap Termination
            Payments. The Securities Administrator shall allocate the issue price
            for a
            Class of Certificates among these components for purposes of determining
            the
            issue price of the Upper-Tier Regular Interest component based on information
            received from the Depositor. Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor
            in
            writing, for federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator
            is hereby
            directed to assign a value of $10,000 to the right of each Holder of
            a LIBOR
            Certificate to receive the related Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount (excluding
            any such amounts attributable to any excess of the REMIC II Net WAC Cap
            Rate
            over the Net WAC Cap Rate) for purposes of allocating the purchase price
            of an
            initial LIBOR Certificateholder between such right and the related Upper-Tier
            Regular Interest. 

           

          Holders
            of LIBOR Certificates shall also be treated as having agreed to pay,
            on each
            Distribution Date, to the Holders of the Class X Certificates an aggregate
            amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) Net Swap Payment Amounts and
            Swap
            Termination Payments (other that Defaulted Swap Termination Payments)
            over (ii)
            the sum of amounts payable on the Class X Interest as provided in the
            Preliminary Statement hereof (such excess, a “Class
            IO Shortfall”),
            first
            from interest and then from principal distributable on the LIBOR Certificates.
            A
            Class IO Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be allocated
            pro
            rata
            among
            such LIBOR Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable
            to
            such Class of LIBOR Certificates, and a Class IO Shortfall payable from
            principal collections shall be allocated in reverse sequential order
            beginning
            with the most subordinate Class of LIBOR Certificates then
            outstanding.

           

          Any
            payments of Class IO Shortfalls shall be treated for tax purposes as
            having been
            received by the Holders of such Class of LIBOR Certificates in respect
            of the
            corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest and as having been paid by
            such
            Holders to the Holders of the Class X Certificates through the Supplemental
            Interest Trust.

          Section
            8.16 Custodial
            Responsibilities.
            The
            Custodian shall provide access to the Mortgage Loan documents in possession
            of
            the Custodian regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and
            the
            servicing thereof to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and
            the
            supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded
            only
            upon two (2) Business Days prior written request and during normal business
            hours at the office of the Custodian; provided,
            however,
            that
            unless otherwise required by law or any regulatory or administrative
            agency
            (including the FDIC), the Custodian shall not be required to provide
            access to
            such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate
            the legal
            right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Custodian shall allow representatives
            of
            the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation
            and shall
            provide equipment for that purpose at the expense of the Trust that covers
            the
            Custodian’s actual costs.

          Upon
            receipt of a request for release by a Servicer substantially in the form
            of
Exhibit
            L
            hereto,
            the Custodian shall release within five (5) Business Days the related
            Mortgage
            File to such Servicer and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to such
            Servicer, without recourse, a request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance
            or
            release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the
            lien of the
            Mortgage (furnished by such Servicer), together with the Mortgage
            Note.

           

          The
            Custodian may resign at any time or may be terminated by the Trustee
            with cause,
            in each case, upon sixty (60) days written notice to the applicable Servicer,
            the Depositor and the Securities Administrator, in which event the Depositor
            will be obligated to appoint a successor. If no successor has been appointed
            and
            has accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the resignation
            or
            termination of the Custodian, the Custodian may petition any court of
            competent
            jurisdiction for appointment of a successor.

           

          The
            Securities Administrator, pursuant to a separate agreement, shall compensate
            from its own funds the Custodian for its activities under this Agreement.
            The
            Custodian shall have no lien on the Trust Fund for the payment of such
            fees. The
            Custodian shall be entitled to be reimbursed, from funds on deposit in
            the
            Certificate Account, amounts sufficient to indemnify and hold harmless
            the
            Custodian and any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Custodian
            against
            any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred
            in connection with any claim or legal action relating to:

           

          (a) this
            Agreement;

          (c) the
            performance of any of the Custodian’s duties under this Agreement,

           

          other
            than any loss, liability, or expense (i) resulting from any breach of
            a
            Servicer’s obligations in connection with a Servicing Agreement for which the
            Servicer has performed its obligation to indemnify the Custodian pursuant
            to
            such Servicing Agreement, (ii) resulting from any breach of the Seller’s
            obligations in connection with a Sale Agreement for which the Seller
            has
            performed its obligation to indemnify the Custodian pursuant to such
            Sale
            Agreement, or (iii) incurred because of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
            or
            negligence in the performance of any of the Custodian’s duties under this
            Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement
            or the
            earlier resignation or removal of the Custodian.

            applicable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible
            Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge, the Master Servicer
            shall
            promptly notify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and shall
            specify
            in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer plans to take
            in respect
            of such default. So long as an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
            the Master Servicer shall take the actions specified in Article VII. 

           

          If
            (i) a
            Servicer reports a delinquency on a monthly report and (ii) such Servicer,

            Date,
            neither makes a Delinquency Advance nor provides the Securities Administrator
            and the Master Servicer with a report certifying that such a Delinquency
            Advance
            would be a Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance, then the Master Servicer
            shall
            deposit in the Certificate Account not later than the Business Day immediately
            preceding the related Distribution Date a Delinquency Advance in an amount
            equal
            to the difference between (x) with respect to each Scheduled Payment
            due on a
            Mortgage Loan that is delinquent (other than Relief Act Interest Shortfalls)
            and
            for which the related Servicer was required to make a Delinquency Advance
            pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement and (y) amounts deposited
            in the
            Collection Account to be used for Delinquency Advances with respect to
            such
            Mortgage Loan, except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any
            such
            Delinquency Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance or Nonrecoverable
            Servicing Advance. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
            continue
            to make such Delinquency Advances for so long as the related Servicer
            is
            required to do so under the related Servicing Agreement. If applicable,
            on the
            Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date, the Master
            Servicer
            shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that the Master
            Servicer elects not to make a Delinquency Advance in a stated amount
            and
            detailing the reason(s) it deems the Delinquency Advance to be a Nonrecoverable
            Delinquency Advance. Any amounts deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant
            to
            this Section 9.01 shall be net of the Servicing Fee for the related Mortgage
            Loans.

           

          (b) The
            Master Servicer shall pay the costs of monitoring the Servicers as required
            hereunder (including costs associated with (i) termination of any Servicer,
            (ii)
            the appointment of a successor servicer or (iii) the transfer to and
            assumption
            of, the servicing by the Master Servicer) and shall, to the extent permitted
            by
            the related Servicing Agreement, seek reimbursement therefor initially
            from the
            terminated Servicer. In the event the full costs associated with the
            transition
            of servicing responsibilities to the Master Servicer or to a successor
            servicer
            are not paid for by the predecessor or successor Servicer (provided
            such
            successor Servicer is not the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer may
            be
            reimbursed therefor by the Trust for out-of-pocket costs incurred by
            the Master
            Servicer associated with any such transfer of servicing duties from a
            Servicer
            to the Master Servicer or any other successor servicer.

           

          
            
               

            

            
              56

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          (c) 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 any errors or omissions of such
            Servicer.

           

          If
            the
            Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor, is the owner of the servicing
            rights
            for a servicer and the Depositor chooses to terminate such servicer with
            or
            without cause and sell those servicing rights to a successor servicer,
            then the
            Depositor must provide thirty (30) days’ notice to the Master Servicer, such
            successor servicer must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer,
            the
            terminated servicer must be reimbursed for any unreimbursed Delinquency
            Advances, servicing fees and any related expenses, the successor servicer
            must
            be qualified to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
            and the
            Depositor must obtain prior written consent from the Rating Agencies
            that the
            transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loans will not result in a
            downgrade,
            qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates.
            The
            costs of such transfer (including any costs of the Master Servicer) are
            to be
            borne by the Depositor.

           

          Neither
            the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall consent to the assignment
            by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Agreement
            without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent
            shall
            not be unreasonably withheld.

           

          Section
            9.02 Maintenance
            of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
            The
            Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
            bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage
            with
            respect to all directors, officers, directors, employees and other Persons
            acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in
            the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and
            omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form
            and
            amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers
            or
            trustees.

            of
            the indenture have been complied with. The Depositor hereby represents,
            covenants and agrees with any applicable NIM Issuer that it will not

            reasonable manner, on or after the Initial Optional Termination Date,
            for the
            purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) unless it
            has
            received (x) written notification from the NIM Trustee that all of the
            outstanding notes issued under the applicable indenture have been paid
            in full

            Master Servicer shall give Avelo written notice of the occurrence of
            the Initial
            Optional Termination Date as promptly as practicable after the related
            Due
            Period upon which the Initial Optional Termination Date is based.

           

          (c) It
            is
            understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
            in this
            Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The

            forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
            other
            reasonable costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense
            or
            assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a material breach
            of the
            Master Servicer’s representations and warranties contained in Section 9.03(a)
            above. It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation
            of the
            Master Servicer set forth in this Section 9.03 to indemnify the Depositor,
            Securities Administrator, and the Trustee constitutes the sole remedy
            of the
            Depositor and the Trustee, respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
            and warranties. Such indemnification shall survive any termination of
            the Master
            Servicer as Master Servicer hereunder and any termination of this
            Agreement.

           

          Any
            cause
            of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out of the
            breach
            of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue
            upon
            discovery of such breach by either the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
            Securities Administrator or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one
            of such
            parties to the other parties.

            9.04 Master
            Servicer Events of Default.

          (a) any
            failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Certificate Account

          (c) a
            decree
            or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
            for
            the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,

            otherwise set forth herein, the Master Servicer attempts to assign this
            Agreement or its responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties
            hereunder
            (or any portion thereof) without the consent of the Securities Administrator
            and
            the Depositor; or

            thereof that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance
            of its
            obligations under this Agreement, in each case, where such indictment
            materially
            and adversely affects the ability of the Master Servicer to perform its
            obligations under this Agreement (subject to the condition that such

            is not dismissed within ninety (90) days).

           

          In
            each
            and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of Default shall
            not
            have been remedied, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have
            at law
            or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance,
            the
            Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, may, and (a) upon
            the
            request of the Holders of Certificates representing at least 51% of the

          The
            Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations
            of the
            Master Servicer, pursuant to the above paragraph, if a failure of the
            Master
            Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely
            to the
            role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans
            other
            than the Mortgage Loans.

           

          Upon
            receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority
            and power
            of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to and be vested
            in any
            successor master servicer appointed hereunder which accepts such appointments.
            Upon written request from the Trustee or the Depositor, the Master Servicer
            shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity designated
            by the
            Trustee any and all documents and other instruments related to the performance
            of its duties hereunder as the Master Servicer and, place in such successor’s
            possession all such documents with respect to the master servicing of
            the
            Mortgage Loans and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary
            or
            appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, at
            the Master
            Servicer’s sole expense. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee
            and such successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the
            Master
            Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation,
            the transfer to such successor master servicer for administration by
            it of all
            cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Certificate Account
            or
            are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

           

          Upon
            the
            occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Securities Administrator
            shall provide the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably
            satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by
            the
            Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
            6.02 of
            Form 8-K with respect to a successor master servicer in the event the
            Trustee
            should succeed to the duties of the Master Servicer as set forth
            herein.

           

          Section
            9.05 Waiver
            of Default.
            By a
            written notice, the Trustee may with the consent of a Holders of Certificates
            evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights waive any default by the
            Master
            Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences.
            Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist,
            and any
            Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
            have been
            remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend
            to any
            subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except
            to the
            extent expressly so waived.

           

          Section
            9.06 Successor
            to the Master Servicer.
            Upon
            termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this
            Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint or may petition any court of competent
            jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor, which shall succeed
            to all
            rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
            of the
            Master Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the
            Master
            Servicer. Any successor shall be a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved
            servicer
            in good standing and acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies.
            In
            connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make
            such
            arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
            Mortgage
            Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
            however,
            that in
            no event shall any fees in respect of master servicing paid to such successor
            master servicer exceed any fees in respect of master servicing paid hereunder.
            In the event that the Master Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities
            under this Agreement are terminated, the Master Servicer shall continue
            to
            discharge its duties and responsibilities hereunder until the effective
            date of
            such termination with the same degree of diligence and prudence which
            it is
            obligated to exercise under this Agreement and shall take no action whatsoever
            that might impair or prejudice the rights of its successor. The termination
            of
            the Master Servicer shall not become effective until a successor shall
            be
            appointed pursuant hereto and shall in no event (i) relieve the Master
            Servicer
            of responsibility for the representations and warranties made pursuant
            to
            Section 9.03(a) hereof and the remedies available to the Trustee under
            Section
            9.03(b) hereof, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of
            Section
            9.03 hereof shall be applicable to the Master Servicer notwithstanding
            any such
            sale, assignment, resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or
            the
            termination of this Agreement; or (ii) affect the right of the Master
            Servicer
            to receive payment and/or reimbursement of any amounts accruing to it
            hereunder
            prior to the date of termination (or during any transition period in
            which the
            Master Servicer continues to perform its duties hereunder prior to the
            date the
            successor master servicer fully assumes its duties). 

           

          
            
               

            

            
              61

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          If
            no
            successor Master Servicer has accepted its appointment within ninety
            (90) days
            of the time the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer,
            the
            Trustee shall be the successor Master Servicer in all respects under
            this
            Agreement and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to
            all the
            responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, including
            the
            obligation to make Delinquency Advances; provided,
            however,
            that
            any failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
            Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not
            be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In the Trustee’s capacity as
            such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability
            herein
            granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
            shall be
            entitled to receive the compensation, reimbursement and indemnities otherwise
            payable to the Master Servicer, including the fees and other amounts
            payable
            pursuant to Section 9.07 hereof.

           

          At
            least
            fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such appointment,
            the
            Trustee shall provide written notice to the Depositor of such successor
            pursuant
            to this Section 9.06.

           

          Any
            successor master servicer appointed as provided herein, shall execute,
            acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to the Trustee an
            instrument
            accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the representations
            and warranties set forth in Section 9.03 hereof, and whereupon such successor
            shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties,
            responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer,
            with like
            effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination
            or
            resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of this Agreement shall
            not
            affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Master Servicer
            arising
            out of the Master Servicer’s actions or failure to act prior to any such
            termination or resignation or in connection with the Trustee’s assumption as
            successor master servicer of such obligations, duties and
            responsibilities.

          Upon
            a
            successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Master Servicer shall notify
            by mail the Trustee of such appointment.

           

          Section
            9.07 Compensation
            of the Master Servicer.
            As
            compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Master Servicer
            and
            the Securities Administrator shall be paid, together and without duplication,
            the Combined Master Servicing and Securities Administrator Fee.

           

          Section
            9.08 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 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 (i) be
            a Person
            (or have an Affiliate) that is qualified and approved to service mortgage
            loans
            for Fannie Mae and FHLMC (provided, further,
            that a
            successor Master Servicer that satisfies subclause (i) through an Affiliate
            agrees to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable
            Fannie
            Mae and FHLMC guidelines) and (ii) have a net worth of not less than
            $25,000,000.

           

          Section
            9.09 Resignation
            of the Master Servicer.
            Except
            as otherwise provided in Sections 9.08 and 9.10 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 satisfactory to the Trustee and
            the
            Depositor 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.

           

          At
            least
            fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such resignation,
            the
            Master Servicer shall provide written notice to the Depositor of any
            successor
            pursuant to this Section.

           

          If
            at any
            time, Wells Fargo, as Master Servicer, resigns under this Section 9.09,
            or is
            removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.04, then at such time
            Wells
            Fargo shall also resign (and shall be entitled to resign) as Securities
            Administrator under this Agreement, pursuant to Section 10.07.

           

          Section
            9.10 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; provided,
            however,
            that
            the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent
            of the
            Depositor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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 downgrade of the ratings
            assigned to any 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 compensation payable to the Master
            Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor
            master

          Section
            9.11 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, the
            Securities
            Administrator, the Servicers 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 malfeasance,
            bad faith or negligence in the 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 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 as Master Servicer
            with
            respect to the Mortgage Loans under 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 liabilities of the Trust, and
            the Master
            Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master
            Servicer
            Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.12.

           

          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 malfeasance, bad faith or recklessness of
            the Master
            Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of
            the
            Servicers as required under this Agreement.

           

          Section
            9.12 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 malfeasance, 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 Trust Agreement. Each of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
            and the Trustee shall immediately upon notice to such Person notify the
            Master
            Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Trust
            Agreement or the Mortgage Loans which would entitle the Depositor, the
            Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, to indemnification
            under this Section 9.12, whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the
            defense
            of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
            counsel fees and expenses, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
            judgment
            or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such
            claim.

          The
            Master Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from
            and
            against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal
            fees
            and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and
            expenses
            (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Trustee may sustain as a result
            of such liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection
            with
            the Trustee’s assumption (not including the Trustee’s performance, except to the
            extent that costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased
            as a
            result of negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer
            prior
            to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations,
            duties or responsibilities under such agreement.

           

          The
            Trust
            will indemnify the Master Servicer and hold it harmless against any and
            all
            claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
            costs,
            judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the
            Master
            Servicer may incur or sustain in connection with, arising out of or related
            to
            this Agreement, the Servicing Agreements, the Sale Agreements, the Step
            2
            Assignment Agreements or the Certificates, except to the extent that
            any such
            loss, liability or expense is related to (i) a material breach of the
            Master
            Servicer’s representations and warranties in this Agreement or (ii) the Master
            Servicer’s willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence or by reason of its
            reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under any such agreement;
            provided
            that any
            such loss, liability or expense constitutes an “unanticipated expense incurred
            by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
            1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
            for
            any such indemnified amount from funds on deposit in the Certificate
            Account.

          Section
            10.01 Duties
            of the Securities Administrator.
            The
            Securities Administrator shall undertake to perform such duties and only
            such
            duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

           

          The
            Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
            statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments
            furnished
            to the Securities Administrator that are specifically required to be
            furnished
            pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine
            whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided,
            however,
            that
            the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy
            or
            content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
            document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found
            not to
            conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement,
            the
            Securities Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders of such
            non
            conforming instrument in the event the Securities Administrator, after
            so
            requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

          No
            provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Securities
            Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
            failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided,
            however,

            as
            are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
            obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Securities
            Administrator and the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator
            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;

           

          (ii) the
            Securities Administrator shall not be liable for an error of judgment
            made in
            good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Securities
            Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court
            of
            competent jurisdiction, such determination no longer subject to appeal,
            that the
            Securities Administrator was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
            facts;

           

          (iii) the
            Securities Administrator shall not be liable with respect to any action
            or
            inaction taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in

            costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making

            investigation is, in the opinion of the Securities Administrator, not
            reasonably
            assured to the Securities Administrator by the security afforded to it
            by the
            terms of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may require reasonable
            indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding.
            Nothing in this clause (iv) shall derogate from the obligation of the
            Master
            Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information

            duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if
            it shall
            have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
            adequate
            indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it, and none
            of the
            provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the
            Securities
            Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance

            or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions
            of
            this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to
            the
            Securities Administrator reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory
            to the
            Securities Administrator against the costs, expenses and liabilities
            which may
            be incurred therein or thereby;

            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 Securities Administrator 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 the interests of the Trustee,
            the
            Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
            event,

            are transferred to a successor securities administrator, the entire compensation
            payable to the Securities Administrator pursuant hereto shall thereafter
            be

            the fee
            payable to the successor securities administrator exceed that payable
            to the
            predecessor securities administrator.

            Servicer prior to the Distribution Date following the month in which
            such value
            is determined; and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation

            any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining
            in the

            than any
            Fair Market Value Excess) will be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates
            in accordance with Section 4.01. Any Fair Market Value Excess shall be
            distributed to the Holders of the Class RC Certificates pursuant to Section
            4.01(d).

           

          Except

            to the Holders of the Class RC Certificates, the proceeds of such a purchase
            or
            sale will be treated as a prepayment of the Mortgage Loans for purposes
            of
            distributions to Certificateholders. Accordingly, the sale of the Mortgage
            Loans
            and the REO Properties as a result of the exercise of the Avelo Call
            or the

            Distribution on the Certificates.
            If, on
            any Remittance Date, the Servicers notify the Securities Administrator
            that
            there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets
            in the
            Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Securities
            Administrator shall promptly send a Notice of Final Distribution to the
            applicable Certificateholders. If Avelo exercises its option to terminate
            the
            Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 11.01, or if an Auction
            Call is
            requested pursuant to clause (b) of such Section, the Master Servicer,
            pursuant
            to the applicable Step 2 Assignment Agreements and by no later than the
            tenth
            (10th)

            the month of final distribution, shall notify the Trustee, each Servicer
            and the
            Securities Administrator of the final Distribution Date and of the applicable
            sale price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

           

          A
            Notice
            of Final Distribution, specifying the Distribution Date on which
            Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the
            final
            distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities
            Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed not later than the
            15th day
            of the month of such final distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution
            shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution
            on the
            Certificates will 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 Securities
            Administrator will give such Notice of Final Distribution to each Rating
            Agency
            at the time such Notice of Final Distribution is given to
            Certificateholders.

          In
            the
            event the Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) and all rights and obligations
            under the Servicing Agreements are purchased or sold pursuant to Section
            11.01
            and pursuant to the applicable Step 2 Assignment Agreement, the Master
            Servicer
            on behalf of the Trustee is required thereunder to remit to the Securities
            Administrator the applicable Termination Price on the applicable Remittance
            Date
            immediately preceding the applicable final Distribution Date. Upon such
            final
            deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Securities
            Administrator and the Custodian of a request for release therefor in
            the form of
Exhibit
            L,
            the
            Master Servicer shall direct the Custodian to release and the Custodian
            shall
            promptly release to the Master Servicer or its designee the Custodial
            Files for
            the Mortgage Loans.

           

          Upon
            presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator
            shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class
            (after
            reimbursement of all amounts due the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
            the
            Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian hereunder), in
            each case
            on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section
            4.01, in
            proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
            Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount up to an amount equal
            to (i) as
            to each Class of Regular Certificates (except the Class X Certificates),
            the
            Certificate Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class X
            Certificates accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing
            Certificate and all other amounts to which such Classes are entitled
            pursuant to
            Section 4.01, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if
            any,
            which remains on deposit in the Certificate Account after application
            pursuant
            to clause (i) above (other than the amounts retained to meet claims).
            The
            foregoing provisions are intended to distribute to each Class of Regular
            Certificates any accrued and unpaid interest and principal to which they
            are
            entitled based on the Pass-Through Rates and actual Class Principal Balances
            or
            notional principal balances set forth in the Preliminary Statement upon
            liquidation of the Trust Fund.

           

          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 Securities Administrator shall give a second
            written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
            Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
            respect
            thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable
            Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
            Administrator 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 (1)
            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.

            11.03 Additional
            Termination Requirements.
            In the

            Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
            requirements, unless the Securities Administrator receives (i) a Special
            Tax Opinion, at the expense of the Purchaser, and (ii) a Special Tax
            Consent from each of the Holders of the Residual Certificates (unless
            the
            Special Tax Opinion specially provides that no REMIC-level tax will result
            from
            the Terminating Purchase):

            assets
            of the Trust Fund to the entity with the highest bid received pursuant
            to the
            Auction Call and, by the next Distribution Date after such sale, shall
            distribute to the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale in complete
            liquidation of each of the Trust REMICs; and

           

          (b) The

            income
            tax return for each of the Trust REMICs stating that pursuant to Treasury
            Regulations Section 1.860F-1, the first day of the ninety (90) day liquidation
            period for each such Trust REMIC was the date on which the Securities
            Administrator on behalf of the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund

              with
              respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or under the applicable
              Servicing Agreement, or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind
              any of
              the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement or in the applicable
              Servicing Agreement; provided
              that any
              action pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced
              by an
              Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of
              the
              requesting party, but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee,
              the
              Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Custodian or the
              Trust Fund,

              in any
              material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided,
              further,
              that
              the amendment shall not 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 will not represent a determination as to the materiality
              of any such
              amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit
              issues
              affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Custodian,
              the
              Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer also may at any time
              and from
              time to time amend this Agreement (and the Master Servicer shall request
              the
              Servicers amend the applicable Servicing Agreements), without the consent
              of the
              Swap Provider (except to the extent that the rights or obligations
              of the Swap
              Provider hereunder or under the Swap Agreement are affected thereby,
              and except

              timely its
              obligations under the Swap Agreement is adversely affected, in which
              case prior
              written consent of the Swap Provider is required) and 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
              each Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) avoid or minimize
              the risk of
              the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the Code that
              would be
              a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates
              or (iii)
              comply with any other requirements of the Code; provided
              that the
              Trustee and the Master Servicer have been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
              which
              opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but
              in any case
              shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect
              that
              such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain
              such
              qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of
              such a tax

            This
              Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
              Master
              Servicer, the Custodian, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee

              Master Servicer shall consent to any amendment to the applicable Servicing
              Agreement as directed by the Depositor), without the consent of the
              Swap
              Provider (except to the extent that the rights or obligations of the
              Swap
              Provider hereunder or under the Swap Agreement are affected thereby,
              and except
              to the extent the ability of the Securities Administrator on behalf
              of the
              Supplemental Interest Trust and the Trust Fund to perform fully and
              timely its
              obligations under the Swap Agreement is adversely affected, in which
              case prior
              written consent of the Swap Provider is required) and with the consent
              of the
              Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating
              not less
              than 662⁄3% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
              adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
              of the
              provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
              of the
              Holders of Certificates; provided,
              however,
              that no
              such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay
              the timing
              of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without
              the consent
              of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material
              respect
              the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner
              other than
              as described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
              of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating
              not
              less than 662⁄3%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the
              Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without
              the
              consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.

             

            Notwithstanding
              any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Master
              Servicer
              shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any Servicing
              Agreement
              unless (i) each shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which
              opinion
              shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
              Trust Fund,
              to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of
              any tax on
              any Trust REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any Trust REMIC
              to fail to
              qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding
              and (ii)
              the party seeking such amendment shall have provided written notice
              to the
              Rating Agencies (with a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the
              Master
              Servicer) of such amendment, stating the provisions of the Agreement
              to be
              amended.

            Notwithstanding
              the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01, with respect to any
              amendment
              that significantly modifies the permitted activities of the Trustee
              or a
              Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, any Certificate
              beneficially
              owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates or by the Seller or
              any of its
              Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding (and shall not be
              considered
              when determining the percentage of Certificateholders consenting or
              when
              calculating the total number of Certificates entitled to consent) for
              purposes
              of determining if the requisite consents of Certificateholders under
              this
              Section 12.01 have been obtained.

             

            Promptly
              after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any Servicing
              Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee
              shall furnish
              written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to
              each
              Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

             

            It
              shall
              not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section
              12.01
              to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall
              be
              sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
              manner of
              obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
              execution
              thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
              as
              the Trustee may prescribe.

             

            Nothing
              in this Agreement shall require the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master
              Servicer
              or the Securities Administrator to enter into an amendment which modifies
              its
              obligations or liabilities without its consent and in all cases without
              receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense
              of the
              Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
              or the
              Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
              Securities
              Administrator, as applicable, that (i) such amendment is permitted
              and is not
              prohibited by this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement
              and that all
              requirements for amending this Agreement or such Servicing Agreement
              have been
              complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely
              affect in
              any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B)
              the
              conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not
              required to
              be reached pursuant to this Section 12.01.

             

            Notwithstanding
              the Trustee’s consent to, or the Master Servicer’s request for, any amendment of
              any Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.01,
              such
              Servicing Agreement cannot be amended without the consent of the applicable
              Servicer. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be responsible
              for
              any failure by such Servicer to consent to any amendment to the applicable
              Servicing Agreement.

              12.02 Recordation
              of Agreement; Counterparts.
              This
              Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices
              for real
              property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions
              in which
              any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated,
              and in any
              other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation
              shall
              be caused to be effected by the Depositor at the expense of the Trust,
              but only
              if an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially
              and
              beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders is delivered
              to the
              Depositor.

              purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein
              provided and
              for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in

              of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an
              original,

              instrument.

             

            Section

              Law.
              THIS
              AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
              LAWS OF THE
              STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
              (OTHER
              THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
              RIGHTS
              AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE
              WITH
              SUCH LAWS.

             

            Section
              12.04 Intention
              of Parties.
              It is
              the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of
              the Mortgage
              Loans by the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor
              to the
              Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. 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 Depositor, or if for
              any other
              reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest
              in either
              of such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security
              agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
              State of New
              York and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall
              be deemed to
              be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the
              benefit of
              the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets
              transferred,
              whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

             

            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 will be maintained as such
              throughout
              the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any
              Uniform
              Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security
              interest
              granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
              Certificateholders.

             

            Section
              12.05 Notices.
              (a) The
              Securities Administrator 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:

              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

              notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused
              to

              themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or
              prejudice

              personally
              liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the

              represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
              whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof

              13.01, and Section 13.07. The Securities Administrator shall have no
              liability
              for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect
              to any
              failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where
              such
              failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to
              receive on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto
              needed to
              prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting
              from its
              own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

             

            Form
              10-K
              requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has
              filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the
              Exchange
              Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that
              the
              registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject
              to such
              filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to
              the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such
              required
              reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject
              to such
              filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify
              the
              Securities Administrator in writing, no later than March 15th if the
              answer to
              the questions should be no. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled
              to
              rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing
              any such
              report.

             

            
              
                 

              

              
                85

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

            Section
              13.05 Form
              15 Filing.

             

            Prior
              to
              January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator
              is able to do
              so under applicable law, the Master Servicer shall sign and the Securities
              Administrator shall prepare and file a Form 15 relating to the automatic
              suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust under the Exchange
              Act.

             

            In
              the
              event that the Securities Administrator becomes aware that it will
              be unable to
              timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any
              Form 8-K,
              10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required
              disclosure
              information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after
              the delivery
              deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the
              Securities
              Administrator shall immediately notify the Depositor. In the case of
              Form 10-D
              and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate and cause such
              other
              Servicers or Servicing Function Participants, as applicable, to cooperate,
              to
              prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable,
              pursuant to
              Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities
              Administrator shall, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure
              Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include
              such
              disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any
              previously
              filed Form 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator
              shall
              notify the Depositor and prepare any necessary 10-DA or 10-KA. Any
              Form 15, Form
              12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K or 10-D shall be signed by a duly
              authorized
              representative of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing
              function. Any amendment to Form 10-K shall be signed by the Depositor.
              The
              parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Securities
              Administrator of its duties under this Section related to the timely
              preparation
              and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K,
              10-D or 10-K
              is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this
              Section. The
              Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense,
              damage
              or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly
              prepare
              and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments
              to Forms 8-K,
              10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s
              inability or failure to receive on a timely basis, any information
              from or on
              behalf of any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution
              or
              file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D
              or 10-K, not
              resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

             

            Section
              13.06 Sarbanes-Oxley
              Certification.

             

            Each
              Form
              10-K shall include a Sarbanes-Oxley Certification, required to be included
              therewith pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Each Servicer, the Securities
              Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cause any Servicing Function
              Participant engaged by it to provide to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley
              Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by March 15 of each year in which the
              Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act
              and otherwise
              within a reasonable period of time upon request, a certification (each,
              a
“Back-Up Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (in the
              case of the Master Servicer) and Exhibit J-2 (in the case of the Securities
              Administrator), upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which
              the
              Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and
              Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”)
              can reasonably rely. The senior officer of the Depositor shall serve
              as the
              Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. In the event the Master Servicer,
              the
              Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant
              engaged by parties is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of
              this
              Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may
              be, such
              party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person
              pursuant to
              this Section with respect to the period of time it was subject to this
              Agreement
              or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be.

            The
              Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers, to the
              extent set
              forth in the related Servicing Agreement, to deliver to the Master
              Servicer a
              certification similar to the Back-Up Certification within the time
              frame set
              forth in, and in such form and substance as may be required pursuant
              to, the
              related Servicing Agreement.

             

            Section
              13.07 Report
              on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.

             

            (a) On
              or
              before March 15th of each calendar year, commencing in 2007:

             

            (1) Each
              of
              the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian
              shall
              deliver to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator a report
              regarding the
              Master Servicer’s, the Securities Administrator’s or Custodian’s, as applicable,
              assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to
              it during the
              immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13-A-18
              and 15d-18
              of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB; provided,
              however,
              the
              Securities Administrator and Custodian shall deliver such report until
              a Form 15
              is filed pursuant to Section 13.06. Such report shall be signed by
              an authorized
              officer of such Person and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria
              applicable to it identified in Exhibit
              K
              hereto
              delivered to the Depositor concurrently with the execution of this
              Agreement. To
              the extent any of the Servicing Criteria so specified are not applicable
              to such
              Person, with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken
              as a whole
              involving such Person and that are backed by the same asset type backing
              the
              Certificates, such report shall include such a statement to that effect.
              The
              Depositor and its respective officers and directors shall be entitled
              to rely on
              upon each such servicing criteria assessment.

             

            (2) Each
              of
              the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian
              shall
              deliver to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master
              Servicer a
              report of a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and
              reports on,
              the assessment of compliance made by Master Servicer, the Securities
              Administrator or the Custodian, as applicable, and delivered pursuant
              to the
              preceding paragraphs. Such attestation shall be in accordance with
              Rules
              1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and
              the
              Exchange Act, including, without limitation that in the event that
              an overall
              opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm
              shall state
              in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report
              must be
              available for general use and not contain restricted use language.
              To the extent
              any of the Servicing Criteria are not applicable to such Person, with
              respect to
              asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving such
              Person and
              that are backed by the same asset type backing the Certificates, such
              report
              shall include such a statement to that effect.

             

            
              
                 

              

              
                87

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

            (3) The
              Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer and Reporting Subcontractor
              to deliver
              to the Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountant’s attestation as and
              when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13.07.

             

            (4) The
              Securities Administrator shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor under
              its
              employ, if any, to deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer
              an
              assessment of compliance and accountant’s attestation as and when provided in
              paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.

             

            (b) Each
              assessment of compliance provided by the Securities Administrator,
              the Master
              Servicer or the Custodian pursuant to Section 13.07(a)(2) shall address
              each of
              the Servicing Criteria applicable to it specified on a Exhibit
              K
              hereto
              delivered to the Depositor concurrently with the execution of this
              Agreement or,
              in the case of a securities administrator, master servicer or custodian
              subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such appointment.
              An
              assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section
              13.07(a)(3) or (4) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria
              other
              than those specified pursuant to Section 13.07(a)(1).

             

            Section
              13.08 Use
              of
              Subservicers and Subcontractors.

             

            (a) The
              Master Servicer shall cause any subservicer used by the Master Servicer
              and
              shall cause each Servicer to cause any subservicer used by such servicer
              for the
              benefit of the Depositor to comply with the provisions of this Article
              XIII to
              the same extent as if such Servicer or subservicer were the Master
              Servicer
              (except with respect to the Master Servicer’s duties with respect to preparing
              and filing any Exchange Act Reports or as the Certifying Person). The
              Master
              Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Servicer and
              subservicer
              and delivering to the Depositor any servicer compliance statement required
              to be
              delivered by such Servicer or subservicer pursuant to the second paragraph
              of
              Section 13.04, any assessment of compliance and attestation required
              to be
              delivered by such Servicer or subservicer under Section 13.07 and any
              certification required to be delivered to the Certifying Person under
              Section
              13.05 as and when required to be delivered.

             

            (b) It
              shall
              not be necessary for the Master Servicer, any Servicer, any subservicer
              or the
              Securities Administrator to seek the consent of the Depositor or any
              other party
              hereto to the utilization of any Subcontractor. The Master Servicer
              or the
              Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly upon request
              provide to
              the Depositor (or any designee of the Depositor, such as the Master
              Servicer or
              administrator) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory
              to the
              Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized
              by such
              Person (or in the case of the Master Servicer, any Servicer or any
              subservicer),
              specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which
              (if any) of
              such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the
              meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of
              the Servicing
              Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by

          Trust
          Agreement (the “Trust

          the
          undersigned, as Custodian, for each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage
          Loan
          Schedule for which the undersigned is specified as the Custodian (other
          than any
          Mortgage Loan listed in the attached exception report), it has
          received:

         

        (i) the
          original Mortgage Note, endorsed as provided in the following form: “Pay to the
          order of ________, without recourse”; and

         

        (ii) except
          with respect to a MERS Loan, an executed Assignment of Mortgage (which
          may be
          included in a blanket assignment or assignments).

         

        Based
          on
          its review and examination and only as to the foregoing documents, such
          documents appear regular on their face and related to such Mortgage
          Loan.

         

        The
          Custodian has made no independent examination of any documents contained
          in each
          Mortgage File beyond the review specifically required in the Trust Agreement.
          The Custodian makes no representations as to: (i) the validity, legality,
          sufficiency, enforceability, recordability or genuineness of any of the
          documents contained in each Mortgage File of any of the Mortgage Loans
          identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectibility,
          insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Mortgage Loan or
          the
          perfection or priority of any Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything herein
          to the
          contrary, the Custodian has made no determination and makes no representations
          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 sufficient
          to
          effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the
          Mortgage to which the assignment relates.

          copy
          thereof, in either case with evidence of recording thereon;

         

        (j) a
          security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in
          connection with the mortgage, if provided.

         

        Based
          on
          its review and examination and only as to the foregoing documents, (a)
          such
          documents appear regular on their face and related to such Mortgage Loan,
          and
          (b) the information set forth in items 2, 8, 33 and 34 of the Mortgage
          Loan
          Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Custodial
          File.

         

        The
          Custodian has made no independent examination of any documents contained
          in each
          Mortgage File beyond the review of the Custodial File specifically required
          in
          the Trust Agreement. The Custodian makes no representations as to: (i)
          the
          validity, legality, sufficiency, enforceability or genuineness of any of
          the
          documents contained in each Mortgage File of any of the Mortgage Loans
          identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectibility,
          insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Mortgage Loan or
          the
          perfection or priority of any Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything herein
          to the
          contrary, the Custodian has made no determination and makes no representations
          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 sufficient
          to
          effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the
          Mortgage to which the assignment relates.

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

           

          1. The
            undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the proposed Transferee
            of an
            Ownership Interest in a Class [R][RC][RX] Certificate (the “Certificate”)
            issued
            pursuant to the Master Servicing and Trust Agreement (the “Agreement”),
            among
            GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”),
            Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”)
            and as
            custodian (the “Custodian”)
            and
            Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer (in such capacity, the “Master
            Servicer”)
            and
            Securities Administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities
            Administrator”).
            Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings
            ascribed
            to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned
            to
            make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the
            Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee.

           

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

           

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

           

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

           

          
            
               

            

            
              G-1

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

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

           

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

           

          7. The
            Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
            to pay
            its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
            payable
            with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect
            thereto in
            some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due.
            The
            Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
            of
            any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
            Certificate.

           

          8. The
            Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is __________.

           

          9. The
            Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).

           

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

           

          11. The
            Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable
            to a
            foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of
            an
            applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
            person.

           

          12. Check
            one
            of the following:

           

           ̈
The
            present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding
            the
            Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

           

          
            
               

            

            
              G-2

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

          (i) the
            present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
            such
            Certificate;

           

          (ii) the
            present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
            and

           

          (iii) the
            present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
            such
            Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

           

          For
            purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax
            at the
            highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the
            tax rate
            in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest
            rate
            specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
            to the
            alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding
            two years
            and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using
            the
            alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using
            a
            discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section
            1274(d)
            of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period
            used by the
            Transferee.

           

           ̈
The
            transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
            1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

           

          (i) the
            Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations
            Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will
            only be
            taxed in the United States;

           

          (ii) at
            the
            time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years
            preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for
            financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related
            to
            the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
            1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess
            of $10
            million;

           

          (iii) the
            Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,”
as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in
            a
            transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i),
            (ii)
            and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
            and

           

          (iv) the
            Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate
            based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to,
            borrowing
            and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment
            assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee)
            that it has
            determined in good faith.

           

           ̈
None
            of the above.

           

          13. The
            Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I
            of ERISA

            approached or negotiated with any person with respect thereto, in a manner

            the Transferee will not pay all taxes with respect to the Residual Certificates
            as they become due and (C) we have no reason to believe that the statements
            made
            in paragraphs 7, 10 and 11 of the Transferee’s Residual Transfer Affidavit are

            understand that the Certificates are not being registered under the Securities
            Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
            or
            any state securities laws and are being transferred to us in a transaction
            that
            is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and any such
            laws, (b)
            we have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
            that we
            are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investments in the
            Certificates, (c) we have had the opportunity to ask questions of and
            receive
            answers from the Depositor concerning the purchase of the Certificates
            and all
            matters relating thereto or any additional information deemed necessary
            to our
            decision to purchase the Certificates, (d) we have not, nor has anyone
            acting on
            our behalf offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed

            of
            general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action,
            that
            would constitute a distribution of the Certificates under the Securities
            Act or
            that would render the disposition of the Certificates a violation of
            Section 5
            of the Securities Act or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will
            act,

            with
            respect to the Certificates and (e) we are a “qualified institutional buyer” as

            to be a
            qualified institutional buyer that purchases for its own account or for
            the
            account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that
            the

            instrumentality thereof, (iv) bank deposit notes and certificates of
            deposit,
            (v) loan participations, (vi) repurchase agreements, (vii) securities
            owned but
            subject to a repurchase agreement and (viii) currency, interest rate
            and
            commodity swaps.

           

          4. For
            purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or
            invested
            on a discretionary basis by the Buyer, the Buyer used the cost of such
            securities to the Buyer and did not include any of the securities referred
            to in
            the preceding paragraph, except (i) where the Buyer reports its securities
            holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value,
            and
            (ii) no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
            has
            been published. If clause (ii) in the preceding sentence applies, the
            securities
            may be valued at market. Further, in determining such aggregate amount,
            the
            Buyer may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Buyer,
            but only
            if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Buyer in its financial
            statements
            prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
            and if the
            investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Buyer’s direction.
            However, such securities were not included if the Buyer is a majority-owned,
            consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Buyer is not itself
            a
            reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
            amended.

           

          5. The
            Buyer
            acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that
            the seller
            to it and other parties related to the Certificates are relying and will
            continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales
            to the
            Buyer may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

           

          6. Until
            the
            date of purchase of the Rule 144A Securities, the Buyer 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 Buyer’s purchase of the
            Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as
            of the
            date of such purchase. In addition, if the Buyer is a bank or savings
            and loan
            is provided above, the Buyer agrees that it will furnish to such parties
            updated
            annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

          [For
            Transferees That are Registered Investment Companies]

           

          The
            undersigned (the “Buyer”)
            hereby
            certifies as follows to the parties listed in the Rule 144A Transferee

            or

            Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule

          2. In
            connection with purchases by Buyer, the Buyer is a “qualified institutional
            buyer” as defined in SEC Rule 144A because (i) the Buyer is an investment

            referred to below) as of the end of the Buyer’s most recent fiscal year. For
            purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by the Buyer or
            the
            Buyer’s Family of Investment Companies, the cost of such securities was used,
            except (i) where the Buyer or the Buyer’s Family of Investment Companies reports
            its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their
            market
            value, and (ii) no current information with respect to the cost of those
            securities has been published. If clause (ii) in the preceding sentence
            applies,
            the securities may be valued at market.

          ____ The
            Buyer
            owned $___________ in securities (other than the excluded securities

            below) as of the end of the Buyer’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being
            calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).

          ____ The
            Buyer
            is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate
            $__________ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred
            to below)
            as of the end of the Buyer’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 (or series thereof)
            that have the same investment adviser or investment advisers 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 (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated
            with the
            Buyer or are part of the Buyer’s Family of Investment Companies, (ii) securities
            issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iii)
            bank
            deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations,
            (v)
            repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase
            agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

          5. The
            Buyer
            is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the parties listed in

            144A Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates are relying
            and
            will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more
            sales to

            only
            purchase for the Buyer’s own account.

            listed in the Rule 144A Transferee Certificate to which this certification
            relates of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until
            such
            notice is given, the Buyer’s purchase of the Certificates will constitute a
            reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date
            of such
            purchase.
